I agree with that... Is there any message from GGG about desyncs ? It is such a major issue, I just can't understand why it is not #1 on the to-do list... It is really a major bug that seems just... overlooked.

I'm not sure if it's related, but I'm really bored with the "hitbox". Very often, I evade an attack and I lose life anyway ("argh that arrow hit the wall, I'm dead"). It is very obvious with the rock elementals that "roll over enemies". Obviously, this attack is made to be avoided by the player and nevertheless it hits me...

If you use the search bar, you can find numerous threads where GGG addresses the issue. They have been more concerned about server stability going into the Open Beta, but are planning optimizations to mitigate desync issues. It is, however, and inherent issue in this type of game.

Yeah, they're aware of it and it'll be fixed "soon". At least this is what they said 2 years ago. So, uh, yeah. Don't expect it to ever be fixed at this point.

GGG never said "soon" they aren't that naïve. Desync is a work in progress, it has come very far in the past 2 years plus, and I see no reason to believe otherwise. if the desync issue is causing you that many issues that the game is unplayable - don't play it. come back later. game is free.

me? I have 0 issues pretty much.. an occasional DC.

If by "very far", you mean "has gotten significantly worse since open beta started".

Ignorant post. Sorry, but "it's free to play, go away if you have an issue" is complete bullshit. We are supposed to comment on the playability of the game and change it for the better, aren't we? BTW, i paid more than i usually could afford for a pc game because i believe in the potential of PoE. So i feel free to comment even more.
And "it has come very far in the past 2 years" is nonsense too. I remember desync being a little worse like it is today, but just a little. It has NOT come very far.
And you said you have zero issues. That's nice for you but not very common. I got about 10 good friends who play PoE and they ALL have major issues. So it's a common problem GGG should adress very soon.

Edit: I just read it in the news. Hooray! An update to this issue. They got a team working on it. Sound very promising. GGG never disappoints :)

I can't play a melee without using /oos every 5 seconds (which I have script to do for me).

/oos has a cool down of like 10 or something seconds, you *can't* use it every 5 seconds.

yawn

Where is the update ? I can't find it :/

You notice the last few patches are just micro transactions.. reason desync is not fixed.. they are trying to make money on a free game.. so their #1 priority is making that cash then they will fix stuff..

Proof? You got a livestream to GGG studio i dont know about?
You should know that those microtransactions require a different team to develop than the one which is fixing bugs.

So please stop throwing around crap.

oh well then.. if it is another team then it SHOULD be fixed already then.. but no.. it isnt.. lol so yeah they are worrying about money first...
