Description:
Diablo 4s first level 100 Hardcore character has died, expiring not with a 
bang, but with a whimper.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

The first character to reach level 100 in Diablo 4 s aptly named Hardcore 
permadeath mode has perished, not two days after reaching the games highest 
level. 

Streamer Souab Hanaf, also known as cArn_, was the first person to reach 
level 100 in Diablo 4  s challenging Hardcore mode. However, the glory of 
this impressive achievement was short-lived as his character perished not in 
epic battle, but due to a server disconnection. 

All it took was a moment. When cArn_ logged back in, he found that his 
character had been killed, not by a fearsome demon or a loathsome 
abomination, but by a humble vampire bat. 

cArn_ himself was (quite understandably) rather alarmed by this turn of 
events . Im f*cking are you kidding me? he asked on stream to an audience of 
equally shocked viewers. 

Despite Diablo 4 having a smooth launch compared to Diablo 3 s infamous 
opening week back in 2012, the launch of such a rapidly selling online title 
is going to have teething problems no matter how well-prepared the servers 
might be. 

While a player on normal difficulty would simply be able to respawn, having 
to do little more than pay to repair their gear, the Hardcore Diablo 4 world 
is not nearly as merciful. While its sad to see the end of cArn_s avatar, the 
fact remains that the streamer set a world record  a feat that no bug or 
server glitch can take away from him. 

cArn_ has a long history of high-level play, having cut his teeth on 
professional Starcraft 2 and Dota back in the day. Its unlikely that a player 
of his experience would have been blind to the risks involved in Hardcore 
mode play during a launch period, however, these risks didnt stop him from 
claiming the crown. 

Despite the occasional bout of server instability, Diablo 4 has a lot to 
offer. One of the best RPGs of recent memory, Diablo 4 offers a distinctive 
gothic art style as well as meticulously crafted open-world encounters . 
Whether youre adventuring in multiplayer or going solo, the rewarding 
kill-loot-repeat cycle is a gift that keeps on giving.
