Logout and Hardcore

Can we please revert the logout change?
It is stupid to have to wait 15 minutes before being able to play again for no reason whatsoever. Or at least add a "Respawn at Checkpoint" option in endgame, if you want to keep the option of staying in the map after a disconnect.
(which btw isnt working anyway since instances keep crashing after the recent disconnects anyway, so i have no idea why it was changed to begin with if not for that?)

Please, its just a redundant annoyance that does not benefit anyone.

Why? If you play hc dont logout. Thats what hc was meant to be?! Ah i see, you want to play hc sc. Well im sorry.

Want to pile in here and argue for a step further: Please add a logout timer in hardcore.

Removing logout macro was one of the very early conversations on PoE 2, and it feels like this change completely fell through the cracks. Allowing someone to close the game or logout to avoid death is unacceptable. Continuing to allow it and requiring folks to wait for a 15 minute instance reset period is truly the worst of both worlds.

PoE 2 so far has marginally better balance than PoE 1, so it doesn't feel like logging out is a requisite of playing hardcore. Let's keep it that way, and remove the ability to log out in combat entirely.

Consider it your punishment for playing that cheesy style.

HC-SSF here, never use it, never will. Such cheese. Man up.

Imagine playing hardcore, and bragging about it, cause lets face it, thats the only reason any of play any of this shit, modes, etc... Then complaining about the cheater aspects of the mode griefing you...

Shit, should be glad its possible at all i suppose. I kinda wish they'd nuke that shit completely, if at all possible.

Each to their own.

They should unpause the game before an instance drops for 5-10 seconds.
So if you are trying to exploit you are getting punished for it - if you have a dissconnect you can just relog and continue before the dissconnect happend.

loool hardcore softcore

They should make the logout timer 1 hour. It'd be funny.

You play just one character, op? 😬

If you're not willing to accept the consequences of playing hardcore then play softcore.

This is not a "qol" feature that's missing - it's a 15 min timer for you to reflect on your poor choices lol.
