Add an auto-hardmode button at the character select screen!

Basically add a tick box at the character select screen, which relates to each character before you play them.

You tick a box to say "Play in hard mode" and it will automatically select hard mode on the party bar. You can obviously still choose normal mode using the same buttons, but this will mean you are automatically set to hard mode everytime you enter outposts or instances etc etc.

Its a bit annoying when you leave a mission or quest or dungeon or change districts and it re-sets you back to normal mode and you then start a new quest or dungeon in the wrong setting.

not sure about dungeon, but I just tested the HM thing, the hard mode stays where every you go, even cross continent/district, so I am not quite sure what you mean.

From my experience there are times when you might re-instance into an outpost or outside area or alike and it re-sets your hardmode button to normal mode.

A good example is if you enter a PUG wanting to do HM and they are set to NM. If you leave you are re-set to NM and might not realise.

If we have an auto-function to default to HM, similar to the option on MSN to always sign you in as "offline", then it would/might keep it reset to HM no matter what.

Cant say the reset has ever happen to me, I click HM and it stays HM untill I change it back.
And as for the HM at character screen How will this help you your still going to be lvl 1 when you make the character.

Visits to the guild hall always reset me back to normal, which is annoying. I regularly forget to put it back to HM after I leave the hall.

So yes, /signed.

At the end of the day its only one click to switch. Cant really see it being time well spent implementing this.

Yes because a tick box is exactly the same as asking for the character to play on its own isnt it!!! Just a bit over dramatic maybe?

It's just that everyone wants to do as least as possible and keeps making these kinda whiny threads about it. They just make me cry.
It's just, one button, what's the effort in pushing it?

people are just pulling stuff out of the air for suggestions now. This is a totally pointless idea.

Just have the button remember if it was in NM or HM, so even if you move around, it defaults to where it was last. No need for a whole new button.

I was searching for a party for hard mode for tahnaki temple but found out it was a normal mode party so I left and took henchies and heroes by the time I got up to the room with Vizu's construct I noticed I wasn't even in hard mode.

Ditto. This happens to me all the time. Sometimes its a mob or two in before I realize it too.

I'd prefer the HM button simply stays there if you put it there. Dont need a new button or anything. HM all the time.

Too annoying when I step into UW for some Smite Crawler farming and forgot to set NM. Build does not work and I lose 1k.
