I'm glad other people are pointing out how overused "desync" is as an excuse for a HC death. It's so lame and disingenuous. Wish some people (without naming names) would just accept they made a daft mistake.

Especially in this case when Kerkrom was clearly in melee range which makes no sense for his build. When you have been alive so long you get complacent and think you are invincible. That's what happened here desync had nothing to do with it.

^this, i dont get it why to go melee range with EK? Own fault imho.

the lesson here is: Shit happens.

RIP Kerkrom. Gratz for making it to 94, I'll send you another PM when you hit 95 on your new HC toon.

All the best :),

And yet its what kills a lot of people and if you create a game around races its just pretty damn dumb to not get rid of problems like desyncing as fast as possible.

Its something that shouldnt be part of the game, GGG even admits that its a big problem, so yes you can blame your deaths on it, especially since there seem to be people who constantly have problems while there are some who never do. Now imagine youre one of the people who never desynced and suddenly, in an endgame map, you characters teleports like crazy for the first time.

Are you saying the person should have predicted it too happen?

His death was dumb, I give you that, but there are a lot of people dying simply because they cant do jack shit about whats happening on the screen and have to play with macros that spam /oos which is pretty much what I am doing right now after losing a handful of 75+ character to getting fucked by the games netcode.

To all of you telling eachother how bad they are. Go look at both the default and HC ladders. Are you in the top 20? No? Then shut the fuck up. You arent a god at the game either.

Edit: Your probably higher on the ladder than me. But I dont claim to be a better player than anyone. Infact I claim everyone is better than me. Point still stand that armchair pro's are retards.

Being in the top 20 of the ladder has very little to do with skill and knowledge and much, much more with how much time you are prepared to spend on the game.

How high are you on the ladder? I really don't agree, I think POE actually does require skill.

All it requires is a constant group of no lifers. Doesnt mean you need to be good, consistency > everything else.

The best player in the world wont be at the top of the ladder with a group to roll with. Simple as that.
