I dont know why any one would play hard core, it is just soft core with a extra step. You cant die in hard core, you hit alt f4 and you are saved. So that means even if you suck and have the reaction time of a drunk you can easily make a macro too save your self.
I was hoping that I could get away from the cheaters/bots/ and scum with hard core, but that just ruins it. God would it of been so hard to make it so your character stays logged in for 30 seconds when you disconnect, quit, crash, or alt f4, guess so for these people.
You all talk bad about d3, but right now d3 hard core characters are more hard core than d2, if you alt f4 in d3 your dead. Pretty funny that, considering d2 players like to pretend how hard core they are haha.

Because im sick of garbage games, with cheaters/rmt/ and bots, with developers catering to the bottom of the barrel players, that couldn’t play a video game well if their life depended on it. So yeah i was looking forward to a challenging hard core d2 to by pass all that. It pisses me off, that hard core is a joke, and meaningless. I already told you why. Just because you have the reaction time of a drunk, doesnt mean i do.
So i am like this because between the handicapped/drunks/drug addicts/ stupid people, games all cater to them, leaving me like 3 MP games that are hard.
I get diablo 3, Starbound, nope 2 games. Which im sure if i looked there is prolly a way around diablo 3 hard core mode.

Man yes i do i just did it, i went to the middle of the first act let them get me down to 20% life, hit alt f4, and i logged back in. I was in town fine, so just stop that nonsense lies.
Why do you ALT-f4 on your HC characters?

If your going to do this why even bother playing hardcore?

I wanted to see if it would work, since it does that means there is no way to know if some one cheated death or not, making the entire hard core thing about as meaningless as ladder with no better loot.
you clearly never played HardCore

I am not gonna play it, its stupid. The point is to challenge your self with other people to see who can get the highest level. There is no stopping the cheaters from hitting alt f4, so there is no point in playing MP hard core. It would just be something for my self, which i would just play single player.

I just did, and you clearly are the drunk i was talking about that macros alt f4. You are the one that clearly didnt play it, or where too stupid to figure out you can hit alt f4 and save your self. Therefore meaning you are just gonna be ignorant of reality and just pretend no ones cheating, or you are playing single player and challenging your self. Which goes back to what i said there is no point in MP HC diablo 2. Its so easy to cheat the system you dont even need to know how to rewrite code, bypass anything, you simply hit alt f4.
Is this offline and online?
…
Aaaaand since ALT-F4 is a universal operating system command for Windows being able to close a program, what exactly are you expecting Blizzard to do about it? Prevent the program from being able to close at all? This was all true in D2 OG as well.
Why does this thread even exist?

no one is forcing you. Hardcore is not for everyone, you need to be a skilled player to play on Hardcore. your lack of skill doesnt make it a bad thing… you are bad

Soon, you will die before you have a chance to exit out, don’t worry! You should approach hardcore completely differently because it requires far more attention and survivability. You will insta-rip to gloams, dolls, snakes and more if you don’t know how to navigate this mode.
It’s not for everyone but it can be very satisfying getting 80+, knowing you COULD have lost the game. In HC the hells can actually WIN. In softcore, it’s impossible to lose. Even with a low character and terrible gear/skills, you will win - it’s ensured. Just keep going to grab your body, do a tiny bit of damage and repeat. Softcore, is just infinite lives while the monsters get one. Where’s the challenge or satisfaction in knowing you’ve won the moment you create the character?

Have you played like no games but diablo 2? Almost every mmo, or online game has a delayed log out timer. Eve online for example you could alt f4 if you wanted but your ships still gonna get blown up. Ryzom, EverQuest, ulitma online, even diablo 3 lol. It isn’t something new, it’s basic online game play from 1999.
As for the guy above this that can’t read, it is not satfying knowing you made 80 because a bot could do it, so congratulations you managed to do what a bot can do. There is literally nothing challenging about diablo 2 hard core mode other than in your mind, too your self and in single player.
Here I’ll give you another example of why your achievement is absolutely meaningless, because a bot can do it. I. Heroes of the Strom, I beat cheaters, bots, and people who use auto aim because they are all garbage. The bots for diablo 2 are less challenging than bots for heroes of the Strom, and the bots there are worthless though they are better than alot of players.
Just because you have the reaction time of a drunk person doesn’t mean other people do. You probably can’t tell the difference between 30 fps or 165 either.
As far as I know, “closing software” is not a cheat. Nobody’s stopping you from playing the way you want, but people “leaving” the game is not a cheat, whatever weird self-inflicted moral “high ground” you’ve set for yourself does not apply to everybody.
FYI: Bots aren’t here to cheat their way to the ladder rankings. They’re here to sell and farm items.

Diablo 3 has cheat death options.
Accidentally teleporting into an extra fast fanaticized Moon Lord pack while you’re cursed… Instant death. Alt+F4 isn’t going to do squat.
