Can we please get a perma-death server?

[GilbertLapine]

Thanks!

If they fix the internal server lag issues this might be feasible, otherwise whats the point? No one would even make it to end game. Besides, they'd have to redesign all of the content thats intended to kill you the first few runs until you memorize it, not to mention that the mortality rate would be insanely high given the team-reliant nature of the game.

Thanks!

No. If you want permadeath, than just delete your character when you die. a special server for this would be just stupid.

Oh how wrong you are.

People can threaten to sue, or even attempt to do so, but it would never go through for something like this. No physical injuries done AND it's a video game. An attorney would have to be equally stupid to think it would work. No one successfully sues a video game company for something like lag, and it's a safe bet that such attempts are mocked more than taken seriously.

I played HC on Diablo 2 LoD and I say, NEVER AGAIN. Every damage is a heart attack and smashing potion button.

I hope they never do this. Wasting development time and hardware on such a garbage feature is not a good idea. The wasted hardware alone would be ridiculous...

[BotenAnna]

As someone who can only play Diablo on hardcore mode otherwise it's just not fun, and loves permadeath games in general because they're way more exciting, how would this even be fun?

This would be a great idea if people accepted their death and didn't cry about it.

"wtf, server lag!! restore my character, that death was not my fault"
"SOME GUY KILLED ME!! HE TRAINED MOBS AND I DIED. THIS IS NOT FAIR, RESTORE MY CHARACTER"

I'd like the option of a perma death server. I would keep my main progression character on a non perma death server.
Playing a game thru hardcore perma death mode creates an entirely new experience for the game even if you already know all said content by heart beforehand.
And to add to the scenario, how bout when you die, instead of completely losing your character you are given the option to server transfer.
Server transfer is optional and maybe even have to pay the fee to use it to cover the additional costs of running a specialty server.
Just a thought.

I wish people people weren't such casuals in this game.. OP's idea is great.

Too bad SE only cares about making the casuals happy.

there are other issues which go hand in hand with hardcore servers one is the players will expect hardcore events and ladder races ....etc...

its not a bad idea but its not a great idea either. the amount of resources it needs is the deciding factor if the server gets no more time and effort than any other server its a good idea but the moment the hardcore server gets any special treatment the idea becomes a bad one because then it detracts from the main game and that puts the majority out to cater to the minority.
