Harcore Death - Lost all stash, recipes, NPC progress?

Hi,
I heard that in this league, if I died in Hardcore, I would be able to continue in the regular league. Unfortunately, that just happened — I died at level 64.

After I clicked the "Resurrect in Town" button, I teleported to the Act 8 town and started receiving all the "unlocks" I had already completed in the Hardcore league, and then the game crashed.

When I logged back in, I went to my hideout and noticed that I had lost everything — all my stash tabs, crafting recipes, items in vendor tabs, and even quest progress with NPCs like Einhar, for example.

Is this the intended behavior? It doesn’t make sense to be able to continue playing with my character but lose all the progression I had already completed, right?

(Outdated and incorrect, see comment below)

HC death gets sent to standard. Check the league your character is in now (should be standard). If you have no prior progress in standard, it may be completely new. You progress in HC will remain, but in that league. If you start a new HC character you should see all that progress available.

If you are wanting to continue in standard league, you might be able to do a migration. On the character selection window, there is a ">>" league migration button that will show if any league migration is available. Unsure exactly what transfers, not sure if the craft recipes and waypoints come across, items would though. Note that sometimes migration takes time or is unavailable and only works in one direction.

Other than this, if you are think you may still play some HC later and don't wish to migrate it would be possible to bring your items across manually by putting them in the inventory of another HC that dies and gets moved to standard.

If you are wanting to continue playing the league, you would need to stick with HC or start one of the other modes fresh with the league tag.

I don't think this relates to the crash you encountered. In my experience this is the way the parent league is set up for HC, unless there has been some changes.

Progress is tied to league, not character.

In this league, dying on HC Keepers transfers the character to SC Keepers, not Standard.
Migration from HC is impossible.
I see thanks. Probably a good update, so that players can continue in the league, I thought I should be like that when I started playing HC.

So they will need to mule items across from stash if they want them? I think they will be able to access the vendor tabs from HC hideout since it is unlocked, without needing to reach act 6 on a new character?

What progress are you missing exactly? I would think it would be pretty quick to catch up on a levelled character. The Keeper tree seemed to me like the upgrades were exponential, so shouldn't take long to get it back to where you were while completing the campaign naturally.

(I'm in trade, cant see if you are SSF, wouldn't be able to help in that case sorry.)
I'm in SC Keeper league currently with a levelled character, let me know if you need a hand with speeding through anything.
