You Hardcore guys are crazy!

I really can't imagine soloing with a caster character in hc at this point. The long leave game timer means any lag spike will kill you. And the servers are pretty awful right now. It's not just my ISP-- my friends are from across the country and we all experienced it all at once, and many people lose their toons due to an infamous lag spike lately.

I just disconnected in front of some enemies and my heart sank. Fortunately my templar probably did his job with stun/intervene and saved my wizard from biting the dust. That was just nightmare in front of a white pack-- if it was later vs an elite, I'd die even if I was overgeared.

I've started to play HC just because I found SC increasingly boring and there's nowhere to go. This will be a nice distraction, and actually I played hc in D2 mostly. I just don't trust the servers and game itself at this point enough to play it 100% though. I have to admit-- I've been really lucky. Can't really escape this all the time-- it's a matter of when, not if. I've never lost a hardcore character in either Diablo 2 or 3, so it'll probably be saddening when it happens.
