Hardcore death by server lag makes replayability completely zero for me

Really enjoying the game blizzard, but was playing level 63 rogue, completed 80% of sidequests, completed main quest, and was walking on a narrow path, only 1 or two minions near me, easy to kill, then weirdly game went to loading screen when I pressed a skill… (just saw the diablo 4 door thing u see at loading), and then was disconnected. Reopened the game to find my character “has gone to the Hall of Fallen Heroes”… The worst is I have thing like the 5 second bubble shield and scroll of escape, but none of these helped apparently…

I’ve been enjoying the game quite a bit, I like the layout, but I only play hardcore…softcore isn’t desirable. But honestly who can recommit to playing hardcore if your servers get us killed so often like this. A character restore would be welcomed…but honestly now that I’ve seen countless streams of this happening to others (including the first to hit level 100 i saw…) who can put the time back in knowing this is more likely to happen again than not?

Just check this:

  • Further stability fixes

We’ve that mentioned on hotfixes 2-10, only the first hofixes didn’t have fixes for stability.

Besides that, the system doesn’t have something if you lose power / connection, so it’s a big gamble to reach 100.

Rough man, I just lost a 42 logging out. Got to character screen an instant later and gave me the fallen heroes prompt, then an error, and then the character was simply wiped from my acct. It’s not even in my fallen heroes so the whole thing is a bit odd.
