    Default Hardcore safety button

    Heya,

    Is it possible to make a safety button for HC when experience lag, or when a sudden update appears? Me and other hardcore players have had this problem with death as result. My idea was to add a safety button wich you can press when lagg or sudden update appears. In this way we can leave map instantly so we dont die. Sorry for my bad English but i hope you get what i mean.

    Frankly, if you're lagging, the button wouldn't work anyway. I'd be more inclined to make it so you can't leave the map while in combat at all.

    Yes, if an individual is lagging he/she can not leave a map while lagging because you would have to press a button in which sends a command to the server that makes you teleport out of the map.
    In a better way to explain this is like you trying to send a text message to someone while you are with no service internet or any other connections, it won't work.
    + People would use that button to teleport out before they die.

    It would have to work retroactively

    Maybe a lower timeout? Such as 10k ping leads to leave the map automatically for savety.

    I suggest that if you’re on your hardcore toon and your ping spikes to 1k+ it should automatically disconnect you from the game just like when you reach max ping.
    If it is possible to do I think this would be helpful

    I understand your concerns. A lot of people face this problem since not everyone has awesome green ping. I face ping spikes a lot so I display my ping on HUD and whenever it shows reconnecting or spikes I close the app immediately so that my HC character does not die. Remapping will kill you, so you can try this out I guess.
