Casual vs Hardcore is more about your attitude towards the game. The labels are really bad and probably should be scrapped. Personally, I consider myself casually hardcore. I'm hardcore in the min/max area. However, I don't have the play time for Ops anymore, so I'm more casual about my in game activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 To me, being a casual player is a mentality. You can play 120 hours a week and still be casual or you can play 4 minutes a day. It's not about how much you play, but how you play during that timeframe. I play a lot. I'd guess that it's somewhere around twenty five hours a week or almost four hours a day. The reason I consider myself casual is because I'm so lackadaisical about everything. Just last night I did Hammer Station three times at level 33 because someone asked me to. It wasn't for gear or any other reason than just to have fun and to even help someone else out. I also am very picky about what types of things my character wears and uses. I would be willing to take a stat loss on a piece of gear because I don't like it. I consider that to be a casual mentality because a hardcore player wouldn't do something like that. To me, a hardcore player is the kind that chases gear, cares about what specialisation people choose, and other similar things that I consider to be ridiculous. I don't find that fun at all. I'd rather take things as they come. I don't really care if there are people that do that, but I just know that I don't want to play with them. I hope they have fun, but that they just have fun other there while I do my thing over here. ^This^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeda Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) IF you have a constant time you play you are not casual. If you play from 1-2AM on sat and no other rime during the week but that time every week you are not a casual. You just dont play much. A casual player in the time sense is that you never know when you play. YOu can play 16 hours one day and then 2 hours the next and then skip 2 weeks and play 4 hours. Casual is you play sometimes when you can and dont play sometimes even though you can. There is a time casual and a playstyle casual. There are also the fake casuals but you dont want to be one of those IMO. Edited February 18, 2012 by Emeda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
