Implement a feature to handle controller batteries dying while in the middle of battles/anything. Even in a massively distributed game you could make the character who just lost their controller connection immortal until the controller reconnects. You could place a timer on it so the immortality is only possible once every “slightly less than average controller battery life”. Or even once every 6 hours. Or 8. People would be able to abuse that loophole, sure, but for people who don’t want to lose HC characters just because the controller batteries died would be really appreciative.
Or…
You could pay attention to your battery power and charge or swap controllers when needed. It’s not the game’s fault you don’t pay attention to your hardware.

I agree completely. This particular instance the controller batteries gave a warning then died within the same battle. I was in a nightmare dungeon and elites kept showing up. Ultimately poor timing but it could be completely avoidable with a simple fix on the server side.
Could’ve been solved even easier had you used common sense and went back to town immediately.
Short of a boss fight nothing should be holding you up for 10 or 15 minutes.
