I'm sorry to say but your character is likely dead so don't be surprised if you come back to a fallen hero. Part of the challenge of playing HC is working around disconnect issues. Back in the day, during Diablo 2 the fact there was no 10 second timer meant leaving instantly (including DCs) many times saved you, this isn't the case anymore which is unfortunate.
Disconnects is disconnects. But I'd just have been a bit bummed if it turned out the way they did maintenance is disconnecting players but still letting the server run the game for long enough to kill them.
But luckily, that didn't happen on this occasion! Logged in and mah man is still there living!
So I still have the opportunity to make my first HC death be due to me own clumsiness, incompetence, or overconfidence - as it should be!
Glad to hear, Stormie. I do sincerely hope your first death will be a good one.
Welp, just had my first death. I'd gotten my Monk up to 70 and was playing my Wizard. Level 23, tried a Malthael bounty, probably not with a very suitable build for such a mobile fight. He was less than 5% health left when I screwed up with a mass of clouds, potion on cooldown, and got hit by his fire wing thing.
Does the server terminate the game (and hence the disconnect), does anyone know? Or am I likely to be dead when I log in tomorrow?
This was my first serious hardcore character .. luckily had just finished Act 5 and unlocked adventure mode, I was doing my second bounty.

Bloody Malthael.
