Hardcore needs a timer to log out

I like the idea of instant-portals back to town/hideout. Sounds reasonable and requires less 3rd-party-stuff in a game that already relies on 3rd-party-stuff a lot.

D3 has a log out timer.

One time i managed to forget my weapon in my stash so i entered boss portal where i could not leave and i could not kill the boss.

so i lost my character after trying to find a 10s window to open a portal.
BS death if you ask me.

Also, if the logout would have a timer, then you would have to put a timer on the portal scroll as well, because there is still available macro for instant TP.

I used to think like the OP but then through my experienced I realized that every time the game challenges me to act and react quick;y it's a good thing for competition.

Without the ability to logout quickly the difficulty won't change, only the builds and playstyle will. When they'll scale the mob HP and further adjust the damage then there will be far more RIPs than what we've seen over the year.

Look at logging out as having to use another flask quickly to survive. It's that simple.

So you are saying that instantly closing the game should be part of it's gameplay/mechanics?

Sounds ridiculous to me, sorry..

The more ridiculous it sounds if you keep in mind that if you are disconnected your character counts in game for several seconds and often is dead when you reconnect.

Top tier bullshit: if you want to escape death in HC (you're a pussy basically)- welcome, just log out, but if your internet says you to fuck off (not your fault) - you will die, buddy, gg.

as long as this auto-log off to prevent death penality exists you can also remove the death penality and the degrade by death in HC.

Like man, do you have ANY idea how much a HC player is tormented by this game just from a technical perspective like game crashes, the game engine messing up lots of nvidia/amd video card drivers SO BADLY that it causes black screens that need a hard computer restart. Then also add bad servers + a lot players living on the countryside also having a bad internet connection themselves? Spikes, rubberbands, freezes, desync, lag.

Try it out :)

But I would gladly have a 3 sec logout timer if the disconnect/servers are fucked timer would also be 3 sec instead of 6.

Also playing HC is not necessarily equal to having or using a logout macro. I dont use it, I log out the classic krip way and like 90% of times I log out its because the application is frozen or the internet is bad and the other 10% is delve darkness and flares.

then play normal mode or just suffer the consequences..

no thanks, I don't play hardcore because poe servers are trash. And I value my time alot more than just keep bashing my head against a wall everytime I die for whatever reason.

Don't you hardcore players know this anyway? "play smart, adapt quick?"

but the bullshit "lag, desync" is just an excuse to cheat the mode with a logout macro.. be glad town portals are "okay", tho for me it's a grey area.

Check the OP's profile ....
Never reached level 60 in HC.


Yeah, of course, only people who don't play HC would require that kind of thing for HC leagues because they have no clue what they're talking about I guess huh.

So ... because he is playing the game the way it's supposed to be played in a challenging mode, and your ego/pride [insert whatever BS excuse] gets hurt by it, he should stop ?


Pretty toxic heh

+1 to this, instant logout is simply lame, whichever game mode you play.

I guess I'm "toxic" according to another stranger on the internet.

Glad some people here don't buy the bullshit that anyone can type.

Keep those excuses far away in that case, if you defend this cheat macro.

Less we don't want to see more of those excuses but disguised with alot of more nice words to get a free pass.

However on a second thought I don't think tencentggg will change this but no hardcore player should feel any sort of accomplishment so long they use the cheat macro.
