what about an "Ethereal Flask", You become ethereal for like 5 or 10 minutes, or with some penalty after, can't do anything or gain exp during effect, just move or teleport in the village.

A sort of Legit ALT+f4! but RPG!

i would make a skill gem ... and it would just drop a god-ray (beam of light) towards the player and teleport him in an empty (safe) room... give him grace period from the start of the skill use. and put the skill on a very long timer. alot more fun then alt f4

Make it (flask) drop only in HC and not ultra-rare, will not transfer to SC league. With an XP penalty based on difficulty as per SC for a drawback. High level toons will have to budget its use, 1/10 a level xp is a ton.

Say etheral for 30 seconds, don't interact with surroundings at all. Alternately, instant teleport to town (with/without an open portal?)

I don't know if Alt + F4 is cheating, but its unclean/lame.

when you stuck in place, without make actions (cause of lag or disc), your regeneration or defences increase a bit. I seen it in other games, that could to save you from death in some cases.

GGG even said they where tailoring the difficulty of the game around the fact that you can alt+f4 to quit the game.

Maybe my explanation in the Raptr Q&A isn't optimal (I answered over 100 questions rapidly), but I stand by our reasoning that causes us to allow people to drop instantly.

We want our fights to have large swings of damage and to cause a rush of adrenaline in the player. If the game didn't allow you to drop instantly then we'd have to dumb down the fights so much. We've tried it.

In addition, it means that we're able to make hard boss fights that players can attrition if they choose to. If we had to design the act bosses so that players needed to kill them in one go without dying then they would be pushovers.

We have said this multiple times on the forum and in interviews before (as well as implementing the game to be that way) - our stance shouldn't be a surprise!
