I'm playing hardcore for the first time, and sometimes when I log in to the game I log into the middle of a battle in a huge pack of monsters amid a bunch of lag.
I have nearly lost my character to this 3 times, now, as I have to potion immediately and spam defensive skills in order to narrowly avoid death while waiting for the game to catch up. After the initial load up I"m pretty lag free, but obviously this is eventually going to get me killed.
I always make sure to log off in the middle of town when I exit the game. but this doesn't seem to help as sometimes, seemingly at random, the game loads me into the middle of a zone full of monsters.
So what am I doing wrong? Do I have to completely finish a quest chain before logging out? Is this a bug?
It's not a bug: it's checkpoints, and the game placing you in the ideal spot for carrying on where you left off with your quest. You have two options:
1. Complete quests entirely before quitting out of the game (as in, the last thing you did was something in town. That should ensure you spawn in town when you log back in)
2. Change quest to a safer part of the quest, then log in. Don't just 'Resume Quest'.
But yeah, the game has no way of registering where you log out. It doesn't care at all. All it knows is where to put you dependent on what part of the quest you're on.

Thank you for your time.
