I tried. Got a level 35 duelist in SSFHC Abyss and booom, got a DC nearby a pack of mobs. Here, were i live i cant play on HC. :(
No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!
Looks like #1 Flashback SSF HC died this way just before making lvl 100:

There is also some discussion about this (disconnect timer etc) in the thread.

if there is no answer to that you just open a new round of "blame the servers" and introduced one more trap for those normal players to jump in


Make a default option what it is now and provide a menu in which you can customize it, while giving giant red warnings about what it does exactly?

One cannot make this argument while we have custom item filters that can filters out ever single item from being seen. Need I mention Perandus coin trading debacle?
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.

good point with that item filter. seen reddit posts of users noticing now that their mirror notification was not working in their custom filter. lol

widely distributed filters of a single person are even worse cause it means distributed failures...
age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
Just RIPed to dumb(*) client crash mechanics in a T4 map at lvl 88. Wasnt even anything threatening around. Didnt expect to die to "nothing"...

Dunno if I will continue to play PoE. This kinda thing is the worst aspect of PoE.

(*) Presumably leaving me in game until client is closed manually instead of disconnecting the player when the crash happens.

Just realized I replied to this thread already, to the very same post, lol.

Still not getting it, for some reason.
