When forming a Group Ironman, similar restrictions are placed on you, but you can still interact with your fellow group members. You can help each other, trade with each other, party up with each other, and form a [[guild]] together, but''only'' each other. | |||
Your status as a Hardcore Ironman will also be displayed to everyone, shown by one of the following badges that will be displayed to the right of your name, either '''{{HC Ironman}}''' or '''{{HCG Ironman}}'''. | |||
If you die as a | If you die as a {{HC Ironman}}, or if you run out of "lives" as a {{HCG Ironman}}, you will still remain an {{Ironman}} with all of the restrictions, but you will lose your Hardcore status and your badge will be changed accordingly, either '''{{Ironman}}''' or '''{{G Ironman}}'''. | ||
These badges will also be displayed on your character select screen. | |||

{{quote|Playing as a Group Ironman (2 &en; 5 members) means you can only trade, party, and be in a guild with your group. You and your group must be fully self-sufficient.

A Hardcore Group Ironman must consist of anywhere between 2 to 5 members.

If you ''aren't'' the party leader, you need to stay on that first tutorial map with everyone else. This is because the final step of forming a Hardcore Group Ironman is having someone leave through the portal and enter that second tutorial map. Once that is done, your Hardcore Group Ironman is officially formed! | If you ''aren't'' the party leader, you need to stay on that first tutorial map with everyone else.

''There's also the side benefit of forming a Hardcore Group Ironman where you immediately form and enter a Guild together, without needing to pay the 1,000 Soul Crystal cost! Yay!'' | |||
Leaving the Guild will result in making you into a Solo. | |||
Speaking of Solo, the Hardcore status for groups is different than it is for solo. The entire group is given a pool of "lives", one for each person in the group. | |||
'''So if you form a Hardcore Ironman Group with 5 total members, that means you have 5 shared lives before you all lose your Hardcore status.''' | |||
And ''everyone'' uses up one life when they die. | |||
'' | So if one player in your group dies 6 times, you ''all'' lose the Hardcore status, and your badges all turn into the Group Ironman version. | ||
You can track the number of lives your group has left within the "Misc" tab of your Guild Window [N]. | |||
Use this information to keep you on edge~ | |||
==[[Guilds|Guild]] Benefits== | |||
Usually, in order to level a Guild, you need a certain number of current members in your Guild. | |||
''For both types of Ironman, the member requirement to level up your Guild is removed!'' | |||
So level up your Guild, and reap all the benefits of those wonderful Guild Perks! | So be sure to level up your Guild, and reap all the benefits of those wonderful Guild Perks! | ||
