It was a classic disconnect to a f4ck1ng RIP. I had a day off, I was running a series of cow runs, I cleared the entire farm and left 1 unique cow that had light immune + physical immunity, was going to basically save and exit and start another run, just before noon Hurricane was going around town and we had a power outage, my PC shut down before I went back to the encampment to stash the loot, was not close to that cow, probably my merc "Alzheimer" as I liked to call him was walking around and baited that devilish bovine in, what a good day to die (). Sadly even more horrible accident happened in my city at the same time, a 70 yr old man driving a car was hit by a falling tree Reast In Peace.
I'm curious about other players experience with hardcore characters. So far I made 4 Sorceresess. First one got killed by normal diablo, the good ol' Lightning Strike smashed my sorc in less than 1 second. Another character got to lvl 80+ I had Tal Rasha set on, wanted to finish book quest in act 3. Upon entering I walked to the main hall where always an uber super fast pack of Corrupt Rogue 's run upon adventurers, I noticed that they are not running towards me, then I realized that the laag is in effect so obviously Save and quit, got into the menu, moved my mouse cursor to hit the play button, 40 seconds timer, oh noooo! This is bad, finally I click play button and RIP massage pops out. The third time I wanted to go fast so my character got ripped by Blood Raven It was actually funny that I got my char killed off so fast. I started playing HC because softcore got boring, needed that risk factor. I think the hardcore play is always more interesting because of that risk matter. I never got killed by PK'ers but was targeted on numerous occasions. So far I realized that you come to a level where the game has no clue how to kill you, but forces of nature can finish you off anyway.
I'm probably not going to start over fast though, the better the character I create the more it takes for me to get back to playing Diablo 2, I think it's positive to toss the gaming addiction to the side for a longer while and focus on much more important matters that I neglected lately. Diablo 2 is a huge time sink and dying in hardcore makes me leave the game burned out and kinda controlling this addiction. Obviously, there is no Death shot because it was a lights-out situation. But I have a bunch of item drops recorded so I think I'm gonna make a loot recap video soon.
