Ironman & Hardcore Ironman
Sprocket went hard and rolled out the backend details needed for Ironman and HCIM - when you create a character with these modes, you will have a GameMode icon next to your name, mouseover tooltip, and soon inside of the Chat Box too.
Ironman = No Trading, Partying, Interaction w/ Other Players
Hardcore Ironman = Death means reverting to a standard Ironman
Hardcore is also available, and we've heard you - we will make Hardcore-earned items only tradeable between Hardcore characters and allow grouping.
