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.
