400H+ Diablo 4 is a 2/10 for Hardcore players, review of the current state

diablo 4 for hardcore players is a 2/10 it’s time to find another game?
Before I start saying say that in 4 years playing d2r I only played hardcore, my number of deaths by disconnection is 0.
In 10 years playing d3 I will have died from disconnection at some time (especially at the beginning with the problems that occurred, but I decided to play normal and start hc months later) but having some death from dc during 10 years is normal.

Now we go with diablo 4, where I have played only hardcore since the alpha/betas and release more than 400 hours. I have ONLY died from disconnections, have lost characters 83/55/53/86/62 I lost my first character at 83 ssf on June 5 during the race due to a 10 second disconnection. I had to move days later to another family house to go up to level 100, finishing up on June 13 and entering the top for the statue (I could have finished 1 week before).
NOW I don’t understand why in the beta the issue of disconnections worked instead in the release if you leave the game in a normal way your character stays 10 seconds in the game (just like it happened in diablo 3) BUT if you crash disconnect the network or server. THE CHARACTER STAYS LOGGED into the game for 1-3 MINUTES.
And the only solution that blizzard gives is that we wait 5-6 months to fix something that should be a priority like adding the escape scroll in disconnections.
Shit in the hardcore community, there was movement during the world race (where it has been disappointing to see how half of them have risen with boosts without ever having played hardcore) but once it’s over there are no people in hardcore AND IT’S NORMAL.
Overall the option that blizzard gives is that the players who have played hardcore all our lives, and we like the challenge and the pressure is to PLAY SOFTCORE, normal mode where in 6 days I have gone up from 1-100 ssf I have cleaned lilith and the NM 100, the truth is that it is quite a challenge KEKW
I am outraged and powerless, the only thing I asked for was a solution to enjoy the game (I am not asking for content, or balancing, etc. that will come with time) but spending 100 euros on the game 120 in the collector’s edition, and not being able to play the game because they don’t feel like fixing hardcore mode is unfortunate.
Selling the game to you as a “social experience” when we don’t even have a global chat to trade or talk, we can’t look at other players’ full profiles/time played/heroes death etc. Having to enter discord to really trade an experience from 20 years ago but with the disadvantage that we cannot play offline
Anyway enjoy the game and congratulations to all casual players

since I doubt very much that a hardcore player is happy with the current state of the game and the solutions that blizzard gives

sorry to hear but seems like you love the game just not the connection issues that amount of time into a 2/10 doesn’t make sense

the normal game note for me would be a 7, but if I am a hardcore player and the game is “unplayable” due to a simple fix that would make your character log out after 10 seconds or put it like in the beta, and in a future add the scrool. But if the solution they give is to wait 5-6 months, it is unfortunate and a bad experience for hardcore. I have tried everything, connecting two networks so that the other one can connect in case it disconnects, but the blizzard server itself prevents all this type of technique and automatically disconnects you from the game after losing the connection for 1 second, and the worst thing is not That, even if the connection returns to the second, the server “cap you” and you cannot re-enter until a few minutes have passed, with the message “your account is blocked / the server cannot be accessed at this time”
which results in your character staying logged in for 3 minutes and death is inevitable
