It also begs the question of how many other players’ runs were ended in such a manner. CArn put 82 hours into their character and wasn’t even defeated by anything the game’s content had to offer. However, it’s also a highly disappointing end to an incredible run. They have been recognized by Blizzard as the winner of the contest. Luckily, cArn was able to reach level 100 before the disconnect happened.

Fortunately, cArn was recognized by Blizzard for achieving level 100 on Hardcore in Diablo 4 before a server issue ended their run. So, when cArn was able to log in again, he found his character had been wiped. Blizzard’s built-in rules on Hardcore treat a disconnect as a death to prevent players from trying to cheese the system when low on health by logging out. Unfortunately, on his way there, technical issues struck, the enemies in the game suddenly locked up and started running in place and a few moments later, the game disconnected entirely. After achieving level 100 on Hardcore in Diablo 4 in the contest laid out by Blizzard, cArn went for the final boss of the game. This incident was shared by cArn themselves as they were streaming on Twitch at the time, as spotted by PCGamesN. However, as he continued onward from the achievement, cArn’s 82-hour strong Barbarian was eventually slain, not by the actual in-game content, but by a server disconnect. After Blizzard had announced a race to achieve level 100 in Hardcore Mode (where if your character dies, it’s permanent and you have to start a new character), Barbarian player cArn achieved the result. Diablo 4’s fastest and most stalwart champion met with a cruel fate in the game this week.
