Hmm guess I'll make a new char cause its a VIDEO GAME.... yup play for fun, who woulda thunk it. What happens if your playing and suddenly a tree takes out your power and you die, do you blame blizzard? God? Your misfortune? Shit happens deal move on, its just a game....
Well, one way Blizzard could address this is for the server to register some sort of error code when the game/your PC crashes unexpectedly. Lag spikes are not their fault (unless they are - server side issues, which again, they can monitor and have error codes generated).
It's simple, keep a list of HC players currently on the server, the moment the server crashes, that information will be on hand. When back online, tag all those chars with the error code, players can then send that off to blizzard, who can investigate, and res.
I agree with OP. Losing weeks worth of playtime to something that is not your fault sucks. I mean if the brakes on your new car suddenly fail, and you total it, you are not gonna say "meh, I took the risk of going fast, the manufacturers aren't to blame."
Again, this is not hardcore, and actually gives everyone playing HC an easy way out. Ever heard of a lag switch? All I'd have to do is flip that badboy on anytime I'm close to death. As far as an actual server crash, if it crashes then you aren't going to die, because there will be no monsters to kill you =P
it's motherfuckin hardcore. If you can't handle something like this happening, then you're not hardcore. Not trying to flame, but what you want sounds like softcore. the whole point of hardcore is the chance to lose your toon, in many different ways.
