A high price, but you should pay it gladly

Can My character be restored I got drunk last night and didn't notice myself killing 2 lvl 67 corrupted flamebloods in the same attack volley with massive armor all res 75 except 6 fire res :) .

I deserved to RIP and so did they.

But seriously who cares about a few restored accounts its not like they are going to survive long anyway. In a month they will all be dead anyway.

It was an unfair bug and 700 is nothing to scoff at so let them have their fun till they RIP again.

we also have to keep in mind that the bug only existed for about 30 minutes - 1 hour before ggg took it down to fix it..

so its not like the bug was around for days and people purposely died from carrion queens just to abuse the character restoration provided by the bug that is dying nfrom the overpowered carrion queens.

700+ characters doesn't matter.

You will never clean yourselves from this shit, GGG.






Every statement made before from now on is a lie. Every single word worth nothing from now on.

You have abandoned a principle YOU claimed as indisputable. So many fanboys were defending your position, when people were upset with their character deaths. "Deal with it, pussies" they were saying, - "Its fucking HARD CORE" they were saying... "This will NEVER EVER be changed, because it's GGG - they are making game for themselves, not for cry babies"

I am SO dissapointed that i was right about you... About that you WILL compromise again.

And you will do it again. And again.

And this game will turn into faceless piece of shit. It already loosing its face piece by piece.

What can i say... Grats

It was their fault and they fixed it.You came up here to rant about what?If that bug happened to you would you accept it?They are in their descresion to do what they did,You on the other complain because....why?Also they didnt do it under the table and gone into forums to post directly why that happened.The one that is faceless is you here,like people come and go.

I have stream footage how desync and bugs kill me. Is their fault, IT WILL NEVER GET FIXED, and i wont get my character back. I dont care, but GGG just became ... dont want to say what

OP AND ANYONE IN SUPPORT OF OP ARE DBS

It has no effect on him, he just lost some opportunity to bask in others misery. And now he is sad.

I'd just like to say that I agree with the OP. This is a kind gesture from GGG that has its heart in the right place, but I feel that long-term Hardcore sustainability is being sold short for short-term positive PR.

Does it personally affect me? No. I just think it cheapens the idea of a permanent death league if the developers will revive people based on subjective criteria that can't be known ahead of time. What delineates this bug from desync? Is there a threshold of just how much unintended extra damage a monster has to be doing before it's in the "okay, we'll revive people today" zone?

The game will keep on going for many years and there will assuredly be more deaths due to unintended mechanics or code errors - who gets to decide who lives and dies? Does the amount of complaining about a bug on the forums dictate which deaths are entitled to resurrections? Parts of the fanbase will assuredly interpret it as such and attempt to be the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.

It was better, and simpler, when everyone who died in Hardcore was gone forever. Now that time is over with and we exist in a nebulous pseudo-Hardcore where death is only as permanent as the developers feel it should be on any given day due to any given mechanic, intended or otherwise.

I understand why people support the decision. Part of me would like to as well. However, I am an old school gamer, and I've seen a lot of games go down a lot of drains with nothing but the best of intentions. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, as the saying goes. I don't think this is instantly going to destroy PoE or anything, but it's definitely not a healthy thing for the long-term Hardcore game to let players know that maybe death might not be so permanent after all.

I know many people on this forum won't read my entire post, so in summary, I understand why GGG did what they did, and I can respect that decision, but I think from a long-term development and design standpoint, it was a poor choice whose ramifications on the Hardcore community will be felt in the months and years to come.

I have to agree as well. Sometimes the right choice is the ugly choice.
There will always be grey areas. For example, if GGG db got hacked and accounts were stole through no fault of the player- GGG would be required to restore accounts and gear following the precedence set by this event.

Id also like to add this might be partly due to the unwarranted backlash from nerfing CODT.

I have a deep admiration for GGG as a whole and while I do not always agree with their balance choices I have every faith in their ability to be fair and reasonable for matters like this.

lol

No one is going to even remember this two weeks from now.

this is why we should have stopped registrations to this game pre 2013. every f'''ing newcomer seems to QQ about every little thing.

wow so much win in this thread. I like how noone is on the side of the OP. Its not often that the forum is united.

Also there are a lot of hilarious replies.
Tanks for making my day (or night as it stands right now)

Y'all postin in a troll thread.
