BS death to boat explosion. No animation HCSSF

Isn't Situational Awareness supposed to be a core tenent of HC?

So I managed to recreate the glitch. It happens if you trigger the fuses & teleport to town during the count down. When you come back the timer is no longer visible & the explosion triggers the second you re-enter the ship. Don't know if you have to be outside the ships immediate area while teleportimg tho.

Anyway hope this helps & nothing but utmost gratitude to OP for sharing. This could have ended my HC run for real.

You're not alone.

Got me too, timer hit 0, waited, stepped forward, ow.

Absurdly bad game design on the part of GGG to include an instant death stage hazard as part of the story.

Same happened to me last league. After that I stopped stepping on it at all when ever I saw it.

The positive thing about it is that it's set up as pretty obvious trap. There are explosive barrels and a pile of loot. You can expect something is up. And the timer it then triggers is easily enough to run out.

However I indeed ran off the boat. To be on the safe side, I ran a full screen away. Then I waited the timer out. And I waited a couple of seconds more just to be sure. Then I approached the boat again and once I was right next to it, it blew up and I died.

On HC, naturally.

I made a topic about it back then but apparently didn't catch anyone's attention.

Those are totally fine IMO. The visual indicators that something is up are clear and the timer is plentiful.

But it absolutely should not explode once the timer is out and you approach it.

exact same BS happened to me on my lvl 52 druid, I was just playing and chilling, trying to remove something from my inventory, wasnt even looking at the actual screen, then heard an explosion and death screen. Why? I was having so much fun playing hardcore, I can't play softcore since diablo2 because the thrill is all the fun, I go to sleep if I play softcore. Now I have to stop playing the season alltogether because I do not want to play all act4's all over again and I can't play softcore. [Removed by Support]

please remove this content and let us know that will never happen again so I can play this beautiful game again

I can't believe i also lost my char here. I don't see the point of those one try death mechanics in an ARPG with a big hardcore community.

No animation, just got a sound warning and the character talking so i get out asap. I waited 10s and then when i came back the thing insta explode on me.

Nice. End of season for me

Exactly my thoughts, I was enjoying the so hard and I was thinking to myself this is and will be the greatest game of all time. I felt like the game is very balanced and enjoyable. Whoever thought this mechanic would be cool should be ashamed
