lol
I did not knew about this elixir.
What’s the point of hardcore with an elixir like that.
Clearly the blizzard devs did not play Diablo games in the past.

Thank you for allowing me to use you as an example for the bulk of how people are reading this thread. I am very aware of how Diablo 3’s cheat death mechanic worked ( nice try with the I’m a better diablo gamer than you are bait, not taking it ); however, I think you are completely unaware as to how it was received by a majority of the hardcore community.
As I’ve stated in the OP - this is very lazy game design as it cuts corners for a more faceted game. This does not foster “unforgiving” content - but a repetitive cooldown you abuse to ensure you character’s life (extremely contrary to hardcore mentality).
This abuse will prove bothersome to how further mechanics in the game, boss fights, areas (whatever) will be experienced if this is the capstone of how a HARDCORE playstyle will be.
" Oh just throw a bunch one shot stuff in there to completely negate any kind of character power they think they are gaining for pinnacle content, and they can decide to greed or get out at any given point "
Edit: I said a majority of the hardcore community, but I base this off nothing but the players I have interacted with, so I just to clarify that part of what I responded with.
I don’t think that works here.
It may feel a bit immerse-breaking but it’s quite hard to craft… i.e. “Crushed beast bones” isn’t that common
The problem however MAYBE might be that crafting mats and plants can be shared across characters, so if a previous lvl60 had some “stock” of say 10 CBB, then a new char. can use “cheat death” right away
On the other hand must say this, devs should announce when they’re doing maintenance & stuff, not just in launcher but actually in game (warning, in 10 mins. maintenance starts, prepare to finish your fights, blah blah blah, & similar)
Elixir or no elixir, DC will kill your character

To who? POE has much harder and more competitive end-game content and has a thriving HC community.
The only thing not allowing auto-logout does is make players lose their characters to Comcast outages or Blizz servers taking a dump and not their gameplay so they quit the game.
The grind in this game is WAY to insane to consider dropping the saviours.
At least now they cost you something.
Not sure about D2, but D3 had a passive on every class that did the same thing, usually with some additional effect that made surviving the aftermath easier.
Myabe they should have two HC servers. Real HC and Soft HC.

Soft HC: For those who aren’t as hard as they once were.

The current version of pinnacle Lilith is literally impossible to 1 shot so unless you want hardcore players to just not do future endgame content then deal with it
You could just level to 100 worry free in the Fields of Hatred then… lol
And if there wasn’t an elixir, you would most likely just hit the escape and exit button. Dont lie, because I used to play “hardcore” when I actually had time to put hours in on diablo games.
There is no competitive Diablo. 
If your connection drops out, how does alt+f4 help that? By the time you notice it, it’s been disconnected for probably 2-3 seconds, that is assuming you are even monitoring it to begin with.
You simply can’t put in fail safe systems that will 100% protect the character for things outside your control, its part and parcel of HC.
Remove experience gain from the zone.
Agreed. The only reason I didn’t go for the HC race was because HC has essentially been removed. It’s arguably easier than softcore at this point with cheat death + scroll of escape, the only way someone with half a brain can die is due to a disconnect
Edit: And even that’ll be fixed when they re-add the scroll auto-use on disconnect 
easy going to get it…use the NM dungeon exploit to lock it and farm cellars…you getting tons of matz and scrolls too…gg
What did you thinking how ppls can do 1million of Lilith tries in HC?^^
So basically, it’s not Hardcore.
It will not preserve you from a server disconnect in a middle of a battle, so perma death, which is a much more important issue than a potion. Until they resolve this, I don’t play hardcore anymore.
If you run into an event that locks the door he disappears behind.
Like anyone getting the 25% exp bonus for running black burrows over and over in a party doing lane splitting making exp 10x faster than a solo player with no risk is drinking cheat death elixirs anyhow lol. But hey theres a 0.001% chance while in there mindless grinding group they get super jealous of someones pixels and buy some in game platinum to buy some MTX.
