Sadly Blizzard completely ruined Hardcore play with their requirement to remain connected. If you play an online game for any significant length of time, you will probably experience a lag-spike at some point. Considering how fast one can die in the harder difficulty modes, I don't think I'm going to invest too much time into a hardcore character. I've already died several times due to latency issues on my normal characters. Imagine how frustrating it would be to put over a hundred hours into a character, only to die for reasons that are beyond your control.
