RIP my lvl 51 necro. Cause of death: Lag

Is that hardcore? I don’t think so.

I sent Blizzard a message. Even after they directed me to there generic response of “we can’t restore your HC character no matter what”.

I figure, enough complaints and they might try to fix the issue.

Any other similar tragic stories out there?

    W/e the cause for your death. That indeed is hardcore. A bug crash? They can’t help. If you are fine with this, play hardcore. Otherwise don’t. It’s rough.

      It didn’t use to be hardcore. We went backwards. D2 had offline mode. I have 0 expectation of them restoring my character, but I find it very hard to believe it isn’t possible. I just want to pressure them to change the system. Offline mode being the seemingly obvious, best choice.

        I agree. Fully. Being an online live service game or won’t happen tho. Ever. We need to accept and move on sadly.

          If enough people expressed this, it is possible that some sort of compromise would be made. I never say never. Do you know why/how they became so averse to it?
