Hi, due to the instability of blizzard servers, I lost connection to a diablo 2 game only to find out my character died. I wish blizzard could do something to help hard core players when characters are lost like this, as from my end there were no issues with my internet going down or with my computer, the fault was 100% blizzard and the instability of their servers. I’ve never had this issue with other ARPG’s in HC like POE or Grim dawn, so why can’t blizzard servers do the same?
There should be some type of disconnect protection or way to revive characters for the game in these instances when the fault lies with blizzard servers and not the player.

I just had the same problem, been playing hardcore since 1.08 was active and never had issues like this just lost my sorc to diablo rushing a friend due to game crash ( seems to be a major issue in chaos sanc) Im so irate im about to cancel my wow sub and even more annoyed i cant get in contact with anybody. In my opinion these characters should be restored as it had nothing to do with personal failure

Yea actually it happened to me in Chaos Sanctuary also, just doing my normal diablo run where I never even get close to death.

My lvl 71 died in nm act 3 doing a meph run due to disconnect - then just now my lvl 73 died in act 5 nm during the 3rd wave due to a disconnect. So dang frustrating

First time I played hardcore in resurrected and recently I had the same issue. I died at Tal Tasha’s tomb and the lag was pretty bad. Sometimes I get disconnected but awhile ago my character suddenly had a delay and doesnt respond to my clicks then poof watched my Assassin die.
This is actually really problematic since I know for a lot of players like myself HC is the only mode that matters for ARPGs. Other ARPGs on the market there are no problems, but with technical problems like this it makes Diablo 2 essentially unplayable for HC players – therefore this should be a serious concern for the diablo 2 technical and development teams assuming they wish to make the game playable for this demographic group.

Yes we all wish our chars are restored but it will never happen. I just lost lvl 90 paladin doing very easy trav runs , and after hudreds of runs blizz server dissconnected and surprise surprise no more lvl 90… how am i supposed to put the enigma on and go farm when i can die any second?Knowing every game can just disconnect and lose everything? Frustrating beyond believe…like COME ON…nobody gives a !@#$

I’m totally agree with you guys. This makes it completely pointless to play a online HC char. It’s absolutely devasting if you lose a high lvl char because of a lost connection.

Yes, since Thursday this week it has been bad for me. Lost 3 characters to disconnecting during fighting a pack of monsters… it really sucks

Multimillion dollar company.
cant run decent servers.
Poor form Blizzard.
I only play HC and loosing Chars to DC’s is BS. Cancelled wow subscription. cbf with this anymore. You just keep going down the rabbit hole of turding on your customers with poor performance.

Online Launches always have issues. I’m on Diablo 2 Resurrected and I have been dealing with disconnects almost every day. If you watch the news; the servers have been swamped; they weren’t prepared for the traffic. Blizzard is working on the issue; my advice…dont play hardcore online until they get it fixed.
You’re replying to a Sept.30 post with the last comment from 25days ago. You’re still having the same problems, I’d say that’s pretty poor reliability on Blizzard servers and any commitment to fix the issue, or any issue for that matter.
Edit: Just wanted to add that I don’t play HC in D2 or D2R, for good reason.

is is a major issue, and i would insure the fact id hold off and just take hc mode out of the game. why is it there in this state i have zero clue.
It occured to me while doing a Andy run in middle of fallen one pack in nightmare. My lev 52 paladin died to this disconnect server.
Really wish the hardcore player could recover their lost character from this death by disconnect.
It makes me sick to loose a character this way. I’m willing to play hardcore and die by my misjudgment of the battle situation… but not because of the server’s quality.
Mind that this happened with release 1.1.67166 and server’s quality should have been enhanced.
I’m playing on both PC and Switch version of the game. Problem occurred while playing on Switch.
It happened to me today. I got a connection lost and press Alt+F4 right away but my character still died as the Alt+F4 refused to close the game.

Same here. Chaos run with Hammerdin. Lost my Character to a yellow pack. Rip Enigma, CTA, Hoto …
The funny part is my paladin was really tanky: 3k hp block and res capped … Kinda sad to quit like that
you win some you lose some, have a good day, btw dont forget to purchase another game by actiblizzard
I have lost 3 90+ hardcore characters this way. This was the last straw. Too much time and effort invested to lose a character to ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Same thing just happened to my brother in the Chaos Sancturary in Hell, HC. Lvl 75 Pally. Walked into the first part of the sanc and there were no mobs around. Disconnect message came 5 seconds or so after the message saying he was slain. Week or so of playing and taking so much caution. Feels bad!
I have lost 4 toons in last 4 days… Same issue, disconnected, and found characters died.
