killed by lag

[MaryShaw]

I just had a similar experience, i suddenly found myself being chased by a boar and managed to go to running mode and was outpacing it, then suddenly my game freezes and i had to close the window. When i logged back in my character was gone. This game is still too glitchy to have permadeath yet. Honestly I can't see myself continuing to play this game unless I get my character back, not after suffering this injustice after investing so much time.

Stop whining.

Goodbye.

Lesson: don't play games that have real risk if you put that much emotional investment in it.

You've clearly misunderstood my complaint on every level.

No, I understand it completely. You think that because the game has bouts of instability (from either server lag or a bug in a client), there shouldn't be any permadeath. If you don't like the game as it exists, you're always welcome to quit playing and try again later. That goes to anyone that doesn't like it. Hell, I don't know how many times I've died because of lag playing Diablo 2, and all I play is hardcore.

If there is anything I don't understand, it's because you didn't state it, even in between the lines.

Personally, those that lost everything to the land nuke have more rights to get items reimbursed than those that die to lag. You can at least anticipate lag and do things that won't get you killed.

I got knocked out while raiding an ant hill. Embarassing...

But that was my internet provider's fault, not the server.

You've had ur account for 2 days. I know at least 1 person who has had his char since the start of the world and died to lag =s. Also, there will likely never be a case where jorb or loftar will res ur character just a fair warning.

I will show what char I lost to a client crash while swimming when the world ends. No newb will ever have the right to complain again. I dusted off and created a new character (while fantasizing about strangling Loftar).

Im still laughing about it.

does "show" mean something different in Germany?

[burgingham]

The stats and LP obviously. I don't want to show them to people right now, will do that only when a reset has been announced.
