I think the people dying on blizzards end is what the main topic should be. I understand deaths from peoples net/comp is on them and there’s tips to help prevent their death including lowering settings.
I have a level 100 rogue after losing a 70 and an 83 due to blizzards end. I have a high end computer with 2G connection which both were stable during those random disconnects. These deaths are the biggest issue when playing HC, Ignore the people complaining due to their own lag/internet connection, they shouldn’t play HC if they can’t keep the game stable.
But I don’t want to see anyone tell people that this is even remotely close to being “part of HC” when no game should have this issue as part of their game design. It’s not. It’s a bug/glitch/error w/e you want to call it and it happens in normal mode and it’s not part of their design.
A lot of original players missed out on the top 1000 due to this and maybe half were their own rigs/net but a lot of us lost high level chars due to blizzards end. It sucks, but personally I don’t see any excitement in playing normal. Others should get a chance to try out HC without having to randomly DC at 80+. It’s one of the worst feelings.
