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.

i hope they also fix the laggy servers for some EU players. Kinda weird to see a thread with some people rubberbanding like hell. Fells like server in germany are bugged as hell.

Yeh, who's to know the truth? But then again, surely someone in Blizzard would "leak" the info if it was all some big conspiracy cover-up of a bungled patch.

Still having connection issues. Bummer. Kid's taking a nap so I was looking forward to putting some demons to sleep.

Last when I tried you could try joining again, but there's a 20 minute queue unfortunately.
