    Is it possible to ask for a rollback for one account? Lost my HC Character but I do not know she died as I had a lag spike at the moment and there was no enemy on screen. Thus, on ladder, it counts as if I am alive when I am dead. Really weird.

    Well, dying and losing character is part of HC, thats what makes it interesting... Just create a new char and go for it again :)

    I can only agree with you Quinn, but when you die because of a technical problem, and not a misplay, I do not considerate it to be part the game. I bet the instant alt F4 would have saved me. My mistake.

    Thanks Cold. I am starting a game again with an assassin. If you have some stuff for me, I will be grateful.

    Lags and bugs are part of the game as well. It is unfortunate, when it happens, but it is something to be count with. If i see you online, ill be happy to help you with starting eq, rush, etc.

    As @Quinneczech said, lags and bugs are part of the game, it is, still, an old game, you have to take this into consideration and measure the risk when you start playing on hardcore. You appear alive on ladder because it takes a while to update.

    @Mugu, we can't know if people are saying the truth (most of times they don't) but HC has always had it's own risks. This is not a technical problem, the ladder doesn't update live but every couple hours which is why you still see your character alive so this is intended and normal. Also, dying and getting a transparent hero and not a ghost as you would normally do it's called a chicken death and it's due to maphack ; you're still dead, it's just a visual thing. Anyhow, we don't do individual rollbacks otherwise it would break the purpose of the HC difficulty. As everyone knows HC has always been very exclusive and there are plenty of risks, even if your connection is lagging, you get some random lag spike out of nowhere regardless if it's because of your provider or our hosting and other reasons that's still a risk you acknowledge upon starting a HC character. Also keep in mind that using maphack chicken won't guarantee you will be kept alive if something goes wrong and I'd also suggest you that whenever you feel something ain't right just save and exit that game and wait a couple minutes.

    Starting over is the right approach and that's what defines a HC player, it's all about having fun rather than rage quitting, besides we have plenty of friendly people in here as you can see for yourself so I'm sure you'll get back on track in no time with the new character. Good luck!

    Hello, everything is alright, I got another char back up right now, I was just kinda depressed that it happened to me a second time (the lag), that's why I asked but I doubted the answer would be no, but as there were no existing topic, I had to check what is the standard there.

    I understand what you mean Gix and I agree that it would destroy the purpose of HC. I guess I will have to be more prudent when I will see my network to be flanky. And by the way, I use no hack, and no map hack chicken. I save exit the moment I saw 5 second after I saw the lagspike as I entered a black area and I said to myself holyfuck but it was already too late to drop. I tried to install map hack but did not work so I play completly vanilla (exerpt for the servers tweakings). And it is the Fourth time I start over ^^.

    @colder thank you for everything.


    Cool, check your inbox regarding maphack and I'll help you make it work.
