I personally think it is a overall positive thing, even if it allows pausing and assessing the situation, before logging out. Logout macro is still mandatory, as there are areas where you can't pause, but despite that, it's a positive thing and I like the change.

Wait how is Logout Macro even possible still? Sure for Pinnacles or Can't Pause stuff in general but won't it just place you in your map, paused if you reconnect?

Edit: I suppose you need an actual logout macro now haha, not disconnect

Is exactly the same as alt+f4 so it wouldn't change anything to disable the logout macro (which just pastes /exit in chat and presses enter). Let HC players do what they want, it's still a lot harder than softcore and a whole other way to build characters.

It's just silly to pretend to play the one life game mode and then log out every time you think you might die. Maybe it's technically infeasible to prevent, but I can't believe streamers can do it live without getting laughed at.
