What's everyone's opinion on hardcore mode?

Whenever I get bored of the usual ark nonsense, I switch it up and challenge myself. See how well I can do solo.

Welp. My last hardcore game, I had a great base, great area, friendly alliances. I was lvl 83. BY MYSELF

Then the unthinkable happened.

I was crossing over the snow biome on the island on a pteranodon-- I had less than half HP, starving, and freezing. I could see my base from where i was.. Annnnnnnd my game crashed.

When i logged back on, i was still alive, buuuut i was slowly dying.. annnd stuck in a crevice... with my bird close enough to whistle at, but not far enough for it to actually fly towards me when out on follow.

I started playing hardcore on ragnarock cos it was the only one i could space in. Got really into it. Had to stay solo after getting double crossed 3 times and i've never got past level 25. Frustrating fun.

Thats the problem with hard core, blu screen lag etc ruins it

There was another instance when I first got into hardcore.

I was allied with someone close to me, and was on my way back to base.

I guess we had raiders around-- cause I passed someone on a raft and they had a cannon and a small shelter on it.

I stopped to question them 'cause they were awfully close to my buddies base.

They said they were just passing by, looking for a good area to build.

I figured okay, no worries, and I went on my way..

One guy was like "Hey man! Hold on a second!"

And when I stopped to type, he 1-shot me with a rifle.

Here's the kicker. They raided my base before going to his.

They stole and killed me with my own fucking rifle
