Lag should NOT be an aspect of a game's difficulty. First let me say:
I CHOSE to play hardcore.
I did NOT choose to play on the internet. I wanted to play hardcore offline like I've ALWAYS done.
My last HC D2 character died at level 89. I was not upset in the slightest. I said GG to D2. It was a fair death.
However, the death of my lvl 24 HC Barb in D3 is completely inexcusable as it had nothing to do with my performance. It was about lag.
I should be able to play without that risk. And if I can't I should be able to have my character restored. Which we all know will never happen.

They cannot allow offline play for obvious reasons. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Games usually lag when you or other players join. My friend plays HC and he goes afk for a few minutes everytime he joins or creates a new game just to get rid of the lag spikes. He says it helps but i dont know really... You know that there is lag yet you still play hardcore so you kinda have to take that into consideration i'm afraid.
