Desync became so natural to PoE that I think it's a little sad it will be gone forever. ;(


Word you read my mind.
The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change.

Welcome to PoE.

Now we get to wait to see what the chronic negative nancies latch onto instead...


Omg, ping is too high, North America is in advantage vs Eastern Europe. Now we have to choose between two evils, unplayable ping and terrible desync. We need an offline mode, remember in D2...

Strawpoll: Offline mode?

-yes because of ping
-yes because of desync
-no
-yes and no

Can't wait to try it out, although I rarely notice desync.
I hope now I won't die due to being synced... :P

Great news, really.

The funny thing is, if you have high ping - you are still better off in this mode because, the level of desync that occurs when ping is high is nigh terrible.

So, I think most people will adopt this new lockstep mode regardless of low/high ping if it works like other MOBA's.

Well, let's wait and see how well the improvements go before making any judgments.

I believe this is the case. Even if you have a high ping you are still way safer in stopstep mode.

 Sounds fantastic and all but let's not start counting our Rhoa's before they hatch. I remember fishing sounded great too and then... nothing. I would have been happy with an old cane pole and line. The dam Rhoa's are the fowlest of fowl tasting bird. A relaxing fishing break would have been a nice diversion. Anyway, it all sounds too good to be true but if GGG can/has pulled it off then hooray, no more desync bitch posts. As my Scion would say "go to bed little nightmare" (actually desync is a big nightmare).

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

So, in other words no one wants to admit they were wrong about GGG not fixing desync? Make that apology thread they deserve already, im waiting. *tick tock*
