I died yesterday in HC Nightmare with my level 36 Wizard.
I know there's nothing I can do about it except starting over I guess, but the thing that really got to me is that I didn't even know I died until today.
Yup I died from a random disconnect when I wasn't even close to a single champion pack/boss fight.
I've been one of the people that have been supportive of the "new age" deal of always staying online, but I have to say this made everything about it feel so bad.
I wanted to have the real death experience that I could actually get angry at myself for playing stupidly or just break my keyboard etc, this took everything about that away,
I never got to experience my character die from my own stupid mistakes.
Yea that sucks, dying from disconnects is a bitch, but im not sure how blizz could protect us from this, if you didnt die when disconnect you could always just pull the plug when things go bad.
I guess your right, I never actually though of that. I guess alot of people would abuse it, especially when you can pause a single player game and then plug the cable :/
I still find it really annoying since I was having a blast gearing and knowing that every wrong move could be my demise, It just pains me that It wasn't my fault she died :/

Let em.
If people want to play softcore with a HC by their name it doesnt affect me. Playing hardcore is an option so if they want to cheat at solitaire dont ruin our game to try and stop it
Welcome to hardcore, you'll find it's not so bad. Anyone who has played hardcore for a long time(d2) has lost a character due to disconnect or power outage.
