calling alt-f4 an exploit....LOL!!!! seriously?

I've never Alt-F4ed before, but I certainly can imagine a situation when I might need it. I remember one time when I got surrounded, ran out, and still was taking damage. 5 seconds later - no enemies on the screen - still taking damage.

WTF. My life usually goes up even when I take damage, and now it's staying steady... and THERE'S NO FREAKING ENEMIES ON THE SCREEN. Panic mode on.

Popping potions like mad- 5 secs later, found myself back where I was 10 seconds ago. If I was thinking more clearly, I would have Alt-F4.

Bad game design puts you in a situation where there's nothing you can do but panic. Alt-F4 is good game design :)

If people can't play HC without Alt+F4 or disconnecting their internet, they shouldn't be playing HC.

Plain and simple, only people who suck use it, and it is the ONLY reason the top players on HC are the top players.

Belittling other people who perceive the situation differently than you isn't going to help your cause.

Aha

So kripp sucks too, right? He didn't alt+f4 but ESC/Exit Game which is the same, but slower.

This is at least the third topic about this over the last few days. :D

Personally, I think it's cheap to save your butt by Alt+F4-ing out of the game and anyone who uses it, especially in HC, is pretty much cheating. It's probably by design - because they do have to protect people from legit disconnections somehow - but I wouldn't mind it being changed.

Please fix the game so I don't desync horribly.

Then you can implement that.

hardcore players crying about a proposed nerf to alt f4, exit game, exit to login screen, unplug network cable, reset computer, power failures.
priceless.
you guys should take some dignity lessons from diablo 3 ones.

exactly, first solve the TRUE problems then nerf the alt-f4...after all alt-f4 closes programms since the begining of windows...maybe nerf pcs also!!

the OP and those that say alt-f4 is cheap are clueless (at least)

I dont like the ability to instantly leave the game either. I especially dont like that monsters and mechanics are apparently now being balanced around it. The delay on leaving the game was probably the only thing D3 got right- replacing "player skill required" with "instant bails countered by random 1-shots" is a poor design choice, simple as that.

Anyway, i expect the devs will have a change of heart when the first public chicken hack equivalents go live.

Heck yea!

Fornicate dat frontal lobe - we're hardcore!

Forcefully copulate uncertainty(principle) - we're hardcore!

Ficken arguments against materialism - we're hardcore!

Your deeds of valor will be remembered.

Naw: on second thought, fuck that too - cause we're hardcore ;)
