WTF!!! I JUST DIED IN TOWN (Invasion League)

The fact that Alt-F4ing is considered a legitimate gameplay mechanism says something disheartening about the game.

So a guy plays 100% legit without using alt+f4 or a logout macro and people are saying it's his own fault for not using a logout macro or alt+f4. But if someone uses a logout macro the community flames them for "abusing insta-logout and not playing real hardcore".


People who flame are in the wrong. Alt f4ing is completely legit play. I also use portals but I do that since I dislike exiting the game.

Alt F4 is only made legit because the GGG team know that the game is insanely screwed in hardcore. The league would be empty if they didn't allow this cheating.

No it says something about the players of the game.

Well, Chris has stated previously that it's a legit tactic in his view. So it's not just the players. But, yes, it says something about the players, as well.

GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

It is cheating, Alt F4 just closes your client and is not a feature of PoE. They allow it so this kind of stuff doesn't happen.

Both of you are right.

Instant logout is a feature of PoE. GGG could prevent instant logouts like they do in cutthroat races, but they chose not to.

Alt f4 working is very necessary for an online game. Any server issue or disconnection should not be punished with a guaranteed death. A resetting modem should not negate your 100s of hours.

It's pretty pointless to flame people who use it. It's a necessary feature.
game is designed with portals and logout in mind.

clicking a portal, or trying to logout is not instantaneous.

do it as a last resort.
I need more purple titles
