Server-Lag -> Hardcore-Death

Hey.

Few Hours ago i died in hardcore mode on server lags.
it was around the time when the server went offline every few minutes.

so here i am, in softcorehell.



question 1:
is there a way to get this death forgiven because of the server issues?

question 2: i think ggg wont really care about my death...soooo... whats the fastest way to level up on hardcore again? is duo leveling faster? whats with the xp gain? any tips or experiences?

thnx

Hardcore deaths don't get reverted, it defeats the purpose. It's a slippery slope, where do you draw the line?

If the server is acting up, you are taking a risk if you continue playing. We each have a different level of risk we are willing to endure. The risk averse would stop playing under poor server conditions.

Fastest way to level. Well, after your first character, just knowing the game you'll notice how much faster you get back up and running. Don't pick up items, just kill stuff. You'll be levelled and strong again in no time. Not sure if duo is faster, someone else will have to fill in.

Hardcore is dominated by "safe" builds. Glass Cannons come and go, but Zookeepers and (endurance charge/life regen) Tanks last longest and end up topping the charts.

If your build can't survive for a 3s pause, then you should evaluate the build. Yes, I know a lag spike in the middle of two yellow packs with +spd/crit and ++damage is hard for anyone to survive, but that's an extreme edge case and most likely not how you died during a lagout.

My best advice is to fall in love with Temporal Chains, Zombies, and 1h+shields.

3 sec lag in chaos are very dangerous... especially for melees who most of the time and to some extent always rely on lifeleech.

Nothing can be/will be done for server issues, just like nothing can be/will be done for you losing power, or for spilling you're cranberry vodka all over the keyboard, or for your mom pulling out the internet cord... or.. yeah, anything else.

Understand, I acknowledge the frustration that these kinds of things can cause. I used to have a horrible connection when I played AO years back, and as a result I simply didn't participate in PvP until I was able to correct the issue.
