Logout-macros, Logging out needs to go

The problem is GGG being afraid to piss off their casual playerbase. There are people like Alkaizer with multiple high 90s/100s in hardcore who dont use a logout macro showing that the game doesnt require it at all but the casual side of the playerbase arnt willing to learn to play without one even if it ends in a better game.

Making instant logouts illegal also introduces the issue where you will definitely die to disconnects in any dangerous situation.

Diablo 3 (at least back when I played) had a logout / portal timer, and it really sucked to die to disconnects. No matter how good the servers are, this happens, sometimes your own ISP will drop connection too, and nothing feels worse than losing a character to no mistake of your own. If the game drops you out of the instance the moment it detects a disconnect, then you might as well have a logout escape too because you could just hard crash the game instance when you're in danger just as easily.

Im more ok with alt f4 than log out macros personally

believe it or not hitting 2 buttons when you are about to die is twice as hard as one!

Why do softcore players even care so much? And dont give me that "i'd play hardcore if it was more hardcore" crap. Completely illogical.

I wont go over the arguments of why logout macros are here to stay nor the benefit of it, because it has been said ad nauseum. I just cant wrap my head around why the avid "get rid of logout macros!" people are exclusive softcore players. Its not like it affects you in any way.

Anyone who believes that GGG actually designs content around logout macros should buy this bridge I have to sell...

Its like the ultimate lie to tell yourself to make you feel like your not exploiting the game.

Chris Wilson lied for your logout sins... so don't worry, macro away!
Chris says "Your still HARDCORE dude!"

Chris's excuse is just a bullshit pandering to the masses at the time.

GGG just don't care enough to spend the money to develop a way to prevent it.

It's just incredibly silly that it works, to simply instantly log out whenever it gets dangerous.

Hardcore in this game is a fakking joke.

Implement a 10 second delay, for your character to vanish when logging out, outside of towns/hideout.

hardcore has always been a joke, its not harcore if you log out evey 10 minutes to danger. I agree with you its so dumb

Do you really care how other people play the game? If you hate logout macro in HC then don't use it. Also, from the look of all your characters, you don't even play HC so I don't understand why you're posting this.

just cause you dont play hardcore dont mean you cant comment on the soft state of it, some people watch streams for that death its like being at the race track waiting for that wreck. But you already knew this and are most likely logging out now 🤣

Thankfully, we have people like you, ethical hardcore players that dont use logout macros... by not playing hardcore.

Thumbs up.

It is a bit like dark souls in which you are expected to die but the difference is that enough skill and preparation will trump any encounter in dark souls where as any random mob on a hard map can one shot you in poe.[/quote]lol i agree ive beat DS so many times from demon to DS3 but no matter how good you are you could still get nuked down Slave Knight Geal and that stupid hidden dragon are my nemesis hardest bosses of the dam series they really ended it with a boom
