Go Go Epic FAIL
Level 27 just died in Hardcore because servers lagged out completely... I'm playing by myself... with myself.. only myself... And I die from LAG...
Took almost a full minute for me to actually fall over dead while nothing was around my character on my screen.
Spells stopped casting.. spammed healing potions.. even attempted to exit the game quickly... no luck.
THank you blizzard for wasting half my day with your epic failure of a launch....
Comments
don't you have to beat the game once before hardcore is enabled?
Im not playing it, but the game just launched and already calling it an epic fail... common..

DIABLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Honestly , causing a single player experience to constantly depend on their servers is rather irritating , an initial key check fine whatever , but to continue to depend on their connection after launching when you simply want to play pure single player really is overboard ,
Stupid actually.
lol playing single player game online
when it does that it should be accompanied by the sound a fax machine makes for extra lulz
(and then a paper shredder after it shows the result)
No, level 10 is only req to begin making HC characters.
Lag is part of the stakes for hardcore. Don't like it don't play hardcore. Might be safer to wait a bit, until the zerg is over.
One benefit it could have of being online, are the characters saved server side? Meaning, am I able to play on my desktop at home and then use the same character on a laptop at my friend's house?
I'm playing by myself as well and have had quite a few times that i lagged and my character seemed as if he was teleporting around the place.
I think blizzard kinda dropped the ball when they decided to require internet for solo play. It's all fine and dandy that because of this you can track achievements, talk with friends etc etc but it's not fine if just because everything goes through the net that it affects game performance.
I hope they patch it out or solve it at least as it's pretty annoying to die just because their servers are too populated.
It's a client/server game, the server runs the show not the client a simple keep alive check every few seconds is not an option as D3 is not designed that way.
Sux the OP lost his toon, though running a HC toon already? If it helps you could have lost it cus of local issues, PC crash, game minimises cus of some 3rd party s/w in the background, electricity cut outs, Cat jumps on the keyboard... I have played for just under 11 hours (near the end of Act 2 now) and appart from 1 or 2 rubber banding issue and I mean 1 or 2 I have not lagged out once... but thats just me.
No offence but that's just plain stupid. Hardcore does not mean you have to accept lag that shouldn't be there in the first place.
Hardcore means you accept that if you die, it's permanent and nothing else.
I have to agree wtf does hardcore have to do with lag. Hardcore means you permant die or a hardcore gamer is simply some one how plays lot of game. Nothing to do with lag at all.
thats actually really awesome, i mean it sucks for you man, but thats just a whole new level of danger for people who role HC and its sweet
But who lagged was it Blizzard or the User? who is to blame? how would we know?
So now lag is a whole new level of danger wow thats new.
I would think it would have to be online because of the real money cash auction house. Otherwise, if it was all client side people could cheat and give themselves gear and then sell it. Or am I wrong? For this reason alone I believe it would make something like online play mandatory.
Personally I don't like the idea of online solo play. As someone said, I have no problem if they want to do a check at start up, but having your gameplay be contingent upon their servers is not good.
Someone here apparently didn't know about the AltF4 trick in D2 hardcore
Lol, you have to be very narrow minded to think that it's impossible to die due to lag in an online game. Lag happens in online games, deal with it.
I still don't see how they couldn't have separated the two. Store all you characters and info online and make it client server for AH and multiplayer , but still offering a pure offline solo version if you didnt care about those characters ever playing multiplayer nor the online AH.
I would much prefer to have that option and still have different characters for the online portion.
hardcore is kind of a dumb idea for this game if you ask me. it just doesn't work with the lag. it happened sometimes in d2 if you played hardcore online.
but you knew the possibility when you started an HC char, that lag would kill you.
WTF! Seriously? LAG ON A SINGLE PLAYER GAME? This is friggin' annoying.
The narrow mindedness was making single players, play uncessarily online.
Playing HC on launch day is asking for it. If you can't stand the though of loosing a char then do not under any circumstances play HC.
