I managed to stay in the game for a good portion of the day, but I’ve had to bail to make dinner. It had gotten super laggy in the last half hour anyway so I wasn’t really feeling up to doing much in-game.

    My hardcore Barb found its end due to a nice little ~3000 ms lag spike.

    I was sceptical about playing a hardcore character in an online-only Diablo game and I guess I was right. Lesson learned: Hardcore is nothing but a waste of time, if deaths aren’t even your fault anymore.

      They’re going for a new realism-focused edge to the game aesthetic: there’s a lot of deaths playing IRL that aren’t the player’s fault.

        Are you just here to whine about how bad Blizzard and Diablo are in 2023?

        Jeez, this place turns more and more into good old Reddit. Almost feels homey!

          You’re the ones begging to play an offline game on a /Saturday/Sunday but can’t.
