Playing hardcore you need to set other goals than get this first character to 100. For me, more than anything, its about learning your limits at every stage of the game. Actually learning, getting better. Losing one character doesn’t end that. And. Nothing beats the blood pumping because you are in a sticky situation knowing there are consequences. It’s a thrill.
That said, I play both SC and HC. Mostly SC because I play late when I’m tired. So my HC progression is slow. Very slow. But I enjoy it a lot next to my SC main. No need to go all in. Think Ive died four times in hc before season 1. My biggest achievement so far is lvl 30 which is only a few hours of progression without death :)
