No Healthbar

No Enemy Healthbar or Level

As you take damage, your field of view shrinks - see example below

Instead of a breath bar, the screen will appear redder as you run out of breath

No Mini Map

And More...

The field of view grows dimmer as you take damage, and changes color based on status effects.Bonnie's DadWowhead's Interview with the Creator of the Ultra Hardcore AddonWowhead: Hey Bonniesdad, Thank you for your time today!

These classic andys will literally play with black screen to try to get any modicum of difficulty in that game so they don't die of boredom. Retail is right there if you want game with actual difficulty which you can also see what it looks like.

Maybe add random disconnects too?

Comment by Racarra

classic people will

100% they just cant handle anything that requires skill or being able to dodge things

Comment by KingEagle

pls just let classic die

Comment by Cravens

Just play with Alt+Z at this point.

Comment by Furydeath

People still play hardcore?

Comment by magicottermew

They're different games. They don't like retail. These challenges are only possible in Classic.

Comment by ExtremelyCrusty

Beating hardcore like a dead horse.

Comment by iloverexxar

This is just dumb lmao.
The game is solved, nothing can possibly make it harder through an addon.
Just roll a hunter or warlock and faceroll the levelling.

It would actually be fun if blizzard added a diablo 3 torment style system where you can join servers with scaling difficulty levels:
mob hp +33% mob speed +100% mob casting speed +100% mob spell cooldown reduction + 100%

I despise retail. I feel like I was stabbed in the back by Blizzard by them turning WoW into something I didn't want

Yet, I don't go around wishing for the game to *!@#ing die. What the hell is wrong with some of you people? Do I have your permission to play Classic? I also play other easy games like OSRS, is that also fine? I also like chess, or is that still too easy cause you don't have to time dodge mechanics?

Point to where Classic touched you inappropriately, jesus damn

Blizz if you are reading this, please stop reading WoWHead comments. Jeez

Comment by bannyvader

Are these addons commissions? I can not imagine taking free time out of my day to develop this

Comment by Swordose

Hardcore is being so stupid.
Next time play without Addons, fps view, no nameplate, no minimap, no stuff, no professions, no consum, no buff, no spells.

At the end peoples don't play lol.

Anything to keep the classic gamers from falling asleep at their desk. It's so weird to promote this streamer content when 9/10 people dont even care for this stuff.

True.

Comment by Bullma1977

If that's the case try it on a warrior?
Obv your so pro that you get to make these posts.

Comment by Bullma1977

Wow your only reply and Instinct is to insult ppl who still play older versions of the game?

I Play both versions of wow and can tell you retail isnt that hard that's why blizz are stripping addons away from you so you actually die in combat.

Its a fact that 99% of the game you play stems from classic without as you sated classic andys still loving the core of wow as it was you'd be missing things like sod and mists classic.

And ofc the upcoming legion remix.

Perhaps next time you think to call folks on what they like you step back... and then see what's been given as a result.

If not feel free not to insult ppl by not posting garbage.

Have a good day....

By what standards is saying alt z true.
That hides literally everything so you cannot even see your bars, it's for photo modes not playing.
