Quit game not in town = death

Hi,
I just lost my 20th ++++ level 85+++ character HC quitting game when everything ok ingame (full life, max res, little mobs around but no champion or crazy pack), but not in town.

99 % of the time, nothing bad happens, but 1 % of the time the character stay in the game till he die.

Does it happen to you ? In public games, i see ppl leaving game like that (i.e

Baal runs), but do they lose character like me ? It s pretty recurrent.

I've never once died to "leaving while safe".
Once you're out, you're out and you won't be killed.

There is however one distinct difference between offline and online play:

Offline, soon as you hit esc to open the menu to leave, your game pauses so you're completely safe.

Online, the game continues around you. Merely opening the menu hence doesn't protect you from anything and you will still be subject to attacks (and potential Death) until you successfully made it past save and exit. Plus possibly a slight delay based on ping/performance.

Odds are, those times you died, you weren't as safe as you may have thought and ended up getting killed while you were still on the menu, trying to select the exit option.

Not at all.

I was in Nilhattac area , and they where anly 3 normal Beast immune phys i couldn t finish.
So i escape quit normally, and my character full life

Stormshield stayed in the game till he die.

PS : i never play offline

Escape quit is like playing russian roulette

Not HC, but I died earlier today because of a connection error when I was half a screen away from a

Council Member.

At least on Switch, there is some delay before you exit as well as issue with syncing. I have a friend and we use gamechat on Switch and sometimes see very different things such as where corpses and enemies are.

So between the delay and desynch issues, I can imagine your frustration and I'm sorry.

Died similarly as that, but with even less mobs (just 3 around)




What i hate the most is the fact that it s russian roulette. 99 % of time it's good, and 1 % of time you'r fucked, nothing to do.

Blizzard should fix this

Woooooooow, ok. Good to know since i wanted to start my very first hc char in d2 this season.
There has to be a serious issuse then, your video proofed it.

Don't recall it ever happening... maybe 2 or 3 times, but im not as extreme about the game as some.

Kind of the reason I stopped online HC. When you die because you make a mistake, it's fine. But if you die because of a glitch or a disconnect, it's just a bad game experience.
