I managed to stay in the game for a good portion of the day, but I've had to bail to make dinner. It had gotten super laggy in the last half hour anyway so I wasn't really feeling up to doing much in-game.

My hardcore Barb found its end due to a nice little ~3000 ms lag spike.

I was sceptical about playing a hardcore character in an online-only Diablo game and I guess I was right. Lesson learned: Hardcore is nothing but a waste of time, if deaths aren't even your fault anymore.

Back in D2 era I had a Necro on hardcore on closed realm battle net. This was sometime in the mid 2000s. He was level 81. I was on Harrogate, in town. Some sorc joined my game, hacked, and tppk'd me.

You could argue it's my fault for doing online HC, but I had friends I'd usually play with and liked meeting new people online.

Still sucked and felt bad to die where I felt safe due to some asshole cheater.

They’re going for a new realism-focused edge to the game aesthetic: there’s a lot of deaths playing IRL that aren’t the player’s fault.
