Well if inferno is truely alot harder then hell, and with the slogan of the game "you will die" hardcore people wont really have a fair chance in beating this part of the game, or atleast going to end up dead and mad. (Specially with boss instant kills)



Maybe this is a insentive to play softcore?

We don't have any plans to restrict or change the game difficulty for Hardcore characters.

Surviving the challenges thrown at you by outplaying them is the entire point. Hardcore characters that take on Inferno and survive will be granted cosmetic rewards for their efforts.
