My hardcore char just died. I grinded lvl 31 nightmares and found a Tempest Roar, put it in my stash and told myself to grind some renown for Paragon Points.
Smart me went to champions of demise, pulled many goats and casted a pulverize in NORMAL DUNGEON -> game crashed immediatly, couldn't even cast scroll of escape.
At that point I was smiling knowing what has happend.
Logged in, couldn't load any of my characters -> game crashed again.
Now my heart was racing hoping I can enter the game fast enough. Recieved message that my character died.

Well okay, just make a new Druid I saved my TR in my stash.

Made new Druid, hit "m".
-> Waypoints gone
-> Side Quests gone
-> Strongholds gone
-> Side Dungeons gone
EVEN THE LITTLE QUESTLINE FOR MALIGNANT ROCKS GONE

And my motivation is also gone.
Enjoying summer now, grinding to lvl 74 to wear my tempest roar seems fine to me. But doing that stuff again... it's not like in D2 just make a new char and play at lvl 80 and have fun.
Who thinks twinking is fun? In my case this aint twinking because well thats my only option but even in softcore I wouldnt make twinks lol.
I'd rather do 500 baal runs than another side quest

I never saw any other game crashing after release, it really surprised me that it even possible, especially for triple A title. And what is even surprising crashes are still in place now.

RIP brother that sounds frustrating as hell. It’s a beautiful summer

If you play hardcore, then you have to live and die by the sword. I have done it a few times in several games and it causes too much stress for me. If you cannot accept the fact that you may have to remake your hardcore char, then don't do it in the first place. It isn't good for mental health.
