I find it way funnier when SC players feel the need to bash HC players for using said macro's while a vast amount of SC players do the exact same thing in highers levels. Gotta avoid that exp penalty, right?

This.

And I'm a SC player.

Ok.

Your profile is set to private, but from your post I can only guess you are an SC player.

Most HC players would know the feeling of having their highest level HC character be some old low-level perma-HC toon very well.

Logout macros are just as commonly used in SC as they are in HC. I am glad you felt the need to make a thread about it though, been a while since hardcore players were reminded how toxic and elitist they are.

It is so funny when HC players use his pro log-out macro 1 second after deaths screen, great reflex.

It is so funny when someone play game with script that allow him to disappear on sight of something dangerous because his cookicutter build fail while pretending to play harder version of game.

disclaimer: this thread is about general situations not about certain player or players.

Go back to D3 .

I'll eat my hat if this is anywhere close to being true.

Depends on the definition of "more commonly used". Considering the large disparity between the SC and HC population, it might turn out the actual number of players using logout in SC is larger - or at least similar - to the HC players. Especially when you take into consideration that not every HC player uses logout macros.

Personally, I don't. I might use alt+f4 every once in a while if I get lag or stutters but that's pretty much it. The vast majority of HC deaths are oneshots or near oneshots anyway, I don't think a logout macro is that helpful. It also creates the wrong reflexes: if you have the reaction time to hit a macro button, you have the time to hit the piano (1-2-3-4-5 with at least 2 instant flasks) which will give you much better chances of survival. I might agree a logout macro could be situationally useful for an ES-based build.

The other scenario in which I can see a logout macro as helpful is for HC races. It does allow the racers to play on the edge and take calculated risks. In this scenario, IMO logout is a good thing. It makes races more interesting and allows racers to really push it. However, the number of regular HC racers is extremely small.

To cut the long story short, are you sure you don't want some mustard for that hat?

He said 'most commonly', in my village that implies a percentage (but we also eat people so it might not be a global thing). I'm not really disputing the convenience or saying it's immoral to use it somehow, just that I never saw anyone use it in SC, which admittedly might just mean I don't get around much.

Well, you know what they say - the devil's in the details. Also, it's fun to see you squirm a little :P

About the moral or immoral thing, I'm not trying to discuss it either, I was just saying it's not the panacea some (probably SC-mostly) players seem to think it is. GGG has always had a clear stance that logout is an intended part of the game, so I don't really think there's much ground for discussion in this direction.

True enough, from a legality standpoint there isn't.

Which isn't saying I wouldn't like to try PoE that has slower pace, limited life restore methods, warp out by channeling a skill for 5s instead of portals and life reset on going back in.
