I'll throw 10 hours away, not 30+

Well the past couple nights I've been trying Division 2's new Hardcore permadeath mode beta.

It's been very exciting, knowing that any mistake could be costly. So far, I've made it to Level 14 in 11 hours, as I chase commendations for making it to Level 30, World Tier 5, and Gear Score 500.

Then reddit started pointing out that the Delta-03 error (server disconnects) count as a death, regardless of the situation.

So I'll be returning to my Normal character for now. Potentially losing more than 12 hours of work to something entirely out of my control is not a rage I'm willing to deal with. I'll wait until they can make the game tell the difference between a disconnect and a legit player death.

Crap like this is why I'm way behind on being up-to-date on games and hardware.

We are the audience that keeps the gaming industry afloat and justifies their pitiful, meaningless existence. We are not their guinea pigs.
