Hardcore cannot be trusted anymore

Due to Blizzards constant snags and Dc… hardcore cannot be trusted anymore. Anyone that plays hardcore on all Blizzard games is wasting their time 110%.
HARDCORE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM ALL PLATFORMS AS BLIZZARD SERVER CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH YOUR HARDCORE TOON!

Awesome useless post

go play hardcore that is more useless

Firstly, are you absolutely sure it’s Blizzard’s servers bugging out instead of one of the numerous points between your ISP and Blizzard’s servers? Which do you think is the more likely scenario since vast majority isn’t experiencing DCs?

Secondly, your post is not a bug report but rather pointless rant masquerading as feedback which has no place in the bug report section.

I have often thought people should play pseudo-hardcore.

I mean by this: Play softcore where if your death is your fault, then you delete that character and its gear. If your death is beyond your control (e.g. lag spike death or disconnect death) then one keeps playing that character.

I played HC all the way to GR150. I never once disconnected.

Like mentioned above, Bliz’s systems is just a tiny fraction of the pathway between a player and the servers. There’s a great many places besides Bliz where the connection can fail.

it is a bug and flaw the entire HARDCORE SHOULD BE REMOVED YESTERDAY!

Again, since this a suggestion (albeit completely in vain), it belongs in the General Discussion forum.

This is not a suggestion… if you look in the last month they been under attacks… it takes that one time to loose the toon… and that is enough… after 100x then what? Go look at youtube this been going on since launch… Hardcore must be deleted and removed. Its a complete waste of time.

Then why were you playing HC in the first place? If you can’t accept the possibility of losing a character for any reason (and by creating the HC character you always accept it), you shouldn’t be playing HC.

This whole thread is just pointless rant.

Time is Time, and the error is there. The Error is hardcore itself. In all platforms across all Blizzard games. It cannot be trusted, no matter what you have, or have done. It is a warning to all about Hardcore = ERROR AND WASTE OF TIME! You are welcome… Good luck! Stay off Hardcore less conquest. End of story.

No one is immune to DDOS attacks. It’s part of life on the internet. That’s a risk a video game player takes when they decide to play.

It’s certainly not cause to remove the HC modes of video games. Players can just not play HC if they don’t want to take the risk.

So Blizzard should get rid of hardcore mode just because you don’t like it? Really?

reminds me of those players that get on a pvp server on WoW then cry when they get camped

like a lot of people, we enjoy a bit pvp but only on OUR terms thus we avoid pvp realms

to paraphrase Terminator “Listen and understand. That pvp server is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.”

Well you are obviously not reading english. It has nothing to do with what I like or don’t like… The server they made is not reliable… give me back my cd and stop ripping people off. End of story your intelligence is lacking huge, massive! Learn how to read it again FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Even if, somehow, the server was 100% perfect you realise there are usually 25-30 network hops between your PC and their servers, any of which could have problems with dropping packets, misrouting packets, be faulty, and so on? You’re not on a CAT6 Ethernet cable plugged into the back of the server. When you agree to the warning on hardcore hero creation you’re implicitly accepting that if any part of the internet infrastructure between the back of your PC and Blizzard’s server has a couple of seconds blip, your hero will die. Blizzard’s only responsible for the hops inside their network edge, not everything leading up to it.

If the servers were as bas as the OP claims, wouldn’t the forums be inundated with complaints about the server stability, both SC and HC? Clearly they aren’t and so there are a lot of people playing HC without issues.

More than 99% of the connectivity issues people have lie somewhere between the client and the server, not at the server itself.

Again, I made it to GR150 on Hardcore without a single disconnect this season.

Like Meteorblade pointed out, there’s far more than your computer and Bliz’s servers. In fact, those two comprise less that 1% of the connection between Bliz and you.

And like Kirottu pointed out, if Bliz’s servers were as bad as you claim, both HC and SC would be having a deluge of issues.

I read English quite well, thank you. I quote you:
“HARDCORE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM ALL PLATFORMS.”
Plenty of other players play and enjoy hardcore mode and accept the risks involved. I’m not one of them as I too got tired of losing hardcore toons from DC deaths. However, I didn’t demand that hardcore mode be removed. I just stopped playing hardcore. And as others have attempted to point out, it’s far more likely that disconnects are not happening at the Blizzard servers but rather somewhere else along the line between your device and the server. Furthermore, you are the one resorting to insults, not me. So whose intelligence is lacking?
