    Also you know the 11 years of d2 hardcore where it was exactly the same? With you know, worse connectivity?

    56k hardcore baby let's do this!!

    2000ms HC Duriel battles

    8 men enter, maybe one can leave game before dying

    I have lost characters to connection issues in D2, but thankfully all of the characters I invested the most time in died due to my own ineptitude.

    Still, I don't get too upset about it. Its just how the game is played.

    Have they mentioned anything about looting the equipment from bodies of dead players in hardcore?

    There are plenty of ways to mitigate lag and disconnects and the way d3 deals with lag isn't nearly as heart stopping as d2's mash health pots and hope.

    It's ok to be scared of hardcore you don't always have to project it onto scapegoats like lag and connectivity :bz

    You lose everything equipped and in your character inventory, since there is no looting. Your stash is safe of course.

    When you don't charge a monthly subscription and plaster giant warnings about losing your character everywhere, you get a lot of milage to not give a fuck about hardcore characters dying.

    It's interesting that I didn't like Assassin or Paladin in D2
    But I can't wait to get my hands on Monk in D3, which is supposed to be a mix of the two.

    Monk was just so much fun to play.
    Can not wait for this game.

    I preordered the CE of this months ago. Aside from it crediting four free months to my WoW account (which I don't even play these days), not sure why.

    the thing that killed hardcore for me is now you can no longer instantly save + exit

    if you kill the d3.exe your character stands there for 10 seconds before dropping unless you're in town

    so getting swarmed by super hard mobs will end you

    Alt + f4 kinda makes hardcore less hardcore especially when there were Addons that would automatically disconnect you.

    What wings? I bought the Ce for various reasons
    I bought the Ce of Starcraft for a lot more legit reasons than the Diablo one though

    The CE comes in a big box that can stack next to all the other Blizzard CE boxes, for one.

    The starcraft and diablo ones are not really a square comapred to the Warcraft ones

    I figure since SE++ is its own community it gets its own battletag list. The gnt google doc is linked in the battletags section of the OP so you can do that very thing if you want to. I can also make a google doc for SE++ if people would rather enter stuff in themselves, or I can write a screen scraping bot that downloads the gnt list and populates it to a text file which I then rehydrate into the OP with only the names of people who have visited the current SE++ Diablo thread and also does Pindle runs while I sleep.

    Well...people losing hours or even days of progress because of a connection hiccup? Blizz doesn't seem like the type to ignore that kind of thing.

    Blizzard will do their best to keep shit stable, but the entire point of hard core is being able to die forever for no reason, losing all the hours you put in

    Yea, I think it's fine for blizzard to put up a couple "yes I understand" windows and then just throw HC players to the dogs. Death = death. Period. That is what makes it dwarf fortress style "fun"!
    Ugh money, I am so spoiled by steam sales. But nothing from blizzard ever goes on sale ever ever ever.

    hard core isn't even available at the start in D2 right? don't you have to beat normal first or something

    maybe I'm just getting confused with the beta which required you to hit 10 with a normal character before HC would unlock

    except the fight where you have to stand in void zones, of course
