on the other hand i would accept a restoration to hc if the death was caused by a technical bug.


It was a technical bug...


a technical death would be "death while loading the instance" or "death while the game crashed". there were overpowered devourers(?) in maps which did huge damage and will probably be nerfed soon, is this a technical bug as well? at which damage value normal damage is switching to a technical problem?

we can endlessly argue about the definition of "technical" ... eventually it's software and everything is technical here.

they got killed by a monster with overpowered damage values. hc players constantly die to unexpected damage, they're used to it. they're proud of the fact that they can die in hardcore league.

err, correction: they used to be proud of it.





Chris said it was something highly debated amongst the team, they chose to do it, he isn't happy they had to do it - why are you making this such a huge deal? How long was the patch even live before the bug was found and corrected?

Yes, in HC play you can die to a lot of things consider 'technical issues', the difference is, for whatever reason, GGG decided *THIS* technical issue was out of whack and since they *value their players* they figured they would do something nice and restore those who fell victim to it. That's all that happened. It isn't the end of the world, the sky isn't falling.

Happy hunting/fishing
So much mad people, get over it you weaklings.

For all those complaining, you have to remember this isn't beta anymore. You can't just say "Thanks for finding it, but there will be bugs." anymore.

I imagine part of this is GGG trying to help HC a bit seeing as the majority of players are in SC.

OP devourers is not the same thing as an enemy going from 50 damage to 2500 damage. This has nothing to do with overturning, it's a technical bug that got fixed. It was a mistake inserted into the game due to a coding error, nothing else.

The only difference between instance crashes(from a bug) and carrion queens is that they can track the latter. Restoring characters is a rare occurrence precisely because it isn't usually feasible to do. In this case tracking down the deaths and restoring characters caused by this gamebreaking bug was doable.

I applaud GGG for this decision.

Not anti, much more worried with the predicament they backed themselves into with making such a decision, it's much more down the line where this is going to hurt later on, I know why they did it, it just doesn't feel right given what they stand on before regarding to these scenarios.

GGG has the right to do what they please with their decisions, but it shouldn't come as a surprise the reaction from a lot of the community when something like this gets reversed, it's not more the point that this happened, but it's much later on is why a lot of the panicking is flipping out on.

Just wanted to thank GGG for the character restoration. It was a major bummer to lose my Spectral Thrower and immediately see the message about carrion queens doing too much damage.

hmmm, no deal. i quite like the fact that hardcore players became "hardcore"-players as it effectively killes the elitist attitude of some of their members.

and, secondly: to be honest, i'm angry because i have the alpha status but neither access nor any info.

Holy cow you guys should take this thing less serious and stop playing annoying drama queens just for the sake of being annoying.

It's just disgusting to see how so many of you have that "hate-attitude" towards anything you could possibly hate.

If it was happening to you, you would all be grateful.

It's a friggin game, we play it for fun remember?
