I'm beginning to think Diablo 4's permadeath hardcore mode just isn't worth the heartache. A week ago, the world's first level 100 Diablo 4 hardcore character met an ignominious end at the hands of a random server disconnection, only a short time before the first character to solo their way to level 100 got stomped into the history books by the game's hardest boss. And now, popular streamer Quin69 has been unceremoniously wiped out nine levels from 100 by, uh, nothing. Just, like, nothing at all.
Spotted by GamesRadar, Quin69 was porting back to Kyovashad after tackling a nightmare dungeon with his level 91 druid when his game began to hang on a loading screen. Unfazed, he restarted, only to be greeted with a notice at Diablo 4's launch menu that his «fallen character has gone to the Hall of Fallen Heroes». In other words, it was gone for good, and there was no getting it back. This sent the poor fellow into quite the spiral, so he took out his rage on a mannequin he has in his home for some reason and also his microwave. I'm not sure either of them deserved it.
