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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

A "set my character to hard mode" tick box might solve that.
But at the minute you could enter a team and be reset back to normal mode and yes you can just tick it back. But its doesnt alway register to do so.

There is nothing to fix... It works the way it's supposed to work. You have to click the HM helmet just as if you would need to click your 1st skill to activate it.

Smart ass. You're asking for something totally pointless, just because you keep forgetting to click the damn button. This is just stupid how you're going on about it, and it's even more stupid for me to keep reacting :l
And gg at making up that last reply, makes as much sense as it would to implement this HM thingy.

My main problem with HM is Guild Hall. It makes no sense that going there quick for storage or any other reason while in HM, and preparing a HM venture, kicks you out of HM. Its all too easy to not notice this and forget, despite I dont know how many times I have done it.
I personally think its a really easy fix to simply make GH not change your mode setting at all. Hard for anyone to complain about that and it makes perfect sense. A "keep me in HM whenever possible" check box in Options is going a bit further to solve basically the same thing, though upon leaving a NM party you would find yourself back in HM. Nice, but its the darn GH underhanded switch that annoys me and its done for no reason I can think of.

As for the actual suggestion, it's completely pointless. I mean...if people can't click a few buttons or actually look at their screen then no amount of updates will ever help.

So your not a lazey player! Do you walk everywhere ingame or do you teleport from outpost to outpost?
You cant take the "thats just lazey" stance, unless you have never once done anything ingame the easy way!

It's just a matter of keeping in mind to push the HM Button.
Selfish reason: of course, I would be the one happily wondering of into a mission or explorable area in HM while I wanted NM....

Useless suggestion. Even though I forget to enter HM sometimes before zoning, the process of noticing that I'm in NM, zoning back into the outpost, activating HM and zoning into the explorable again takes less than 30 seconds.

Cant be more than an hour of someone's time to simply stop GH from changing your mode to NM. No reason for it to do that and it doesnt interfere with anyone's work day at Anet one bit. I still support that little tweak.

Another in a long line of pointless ideas in this forum. You're about to enter a mission or step out into an instance, take that extra fraction of a second to glance at the indicator.
