You play in useast? All you have to do is stay away from zons thats all. If you see a zon following you quickly quit the game. I used to play HC and ive havent died at all knowing this. Especially dont ever take act5 frigid WP EVER! and if you see ppl town gaurding first check out their items, level and type of char.
I never personally take anyones townportal its always dangerous especially trying to get wp's. I can help you with WP's if you want or trade my HC items to you for softcore items. Probably also help you with rushes.
Ive died about 3 times due to tppk and taking act5 wp. But now ive learned my lessons and havent died ever again.
-taking a wp
-tppk zons in cows and bloodies
-taking a tp of lvl 41 assa , which after i found full of traps , and 3000 life from my 81 barb ran down in about 3 secs
1. If someone hostiles you, don't try to fight them like hellmonkeys does. It's not worth it.
2. Get a chicken module(if you want.)
3 Use anti-tppk module.
4. Always be the first or the last person to go in the red portal, that way if you go in first you know there's no hydras, and if you go in last and nobody has died you know it is safe.
5. NEVER go in another person's TP unless you know them.
6. Don't try to kill lvl 20 pallies(or any pallies for that matter) because they all either use bonesnap or prepatch bonesnap(no lvl req.)
7. Talk to the other people that play and find out if any new drop hacks have been released lately(or just ask us.)
8. Get to know people on hardcore that you can play with. It's a lot safer to play with someone you know than a stranger.
9. Try to go to private games as much as possible.
10. DON'T PLAY HARDCORE.
Dude a guy could be helping you and before you ever see the hostile thing on the screen your dead... i had my sorc die and i was using anti-tppk the best way to not get pk'd is too not play with anyone else who you dont know and trust
