General Discussion - Can't play HC with 250ms? - Forum

Died 3 times in Cruel around the same level due to connection constantly fluctuates. Last edited by Dakaa on Jan 7, 2013, 12:22:24 AM	Posted by Dakaa on Dec 28, 2012, 7:12:06 AM Quote this Post
Considering my ping is never below 200ms, I'm going to disagree with this. It's not ideal, it can be incredibly annoying and frustrating and it certainly affects how you play, but I've had a dozen or so end game melee characters in HC, including 1 week turbo HC.

Hi, I'm a 350 pinger and I do hardcore. I just have to spec into health, with the knowledge that i will lag spike and get hit. Smoother than Smooth.	Posted by Moist on Dec 28, 2012, 7:20:18 AM Quote this Post

Lowest I get is 250ms via USA, will try SG later. Last edited by Dakaa on Jan 7, 2013, 12:22:54 AM	Posted by Dakaa on Dec 28, 2012, 7:23:13 AM Quote this Post
Sometimes i get very weird latency issues - one map i get my usual 30ms and the right after i enter a new map im at 350ms-400ms. Happend a few days ago - but it wasnt too bad to play beause i played in a group of 3. I just played a lil bit more carefully and it worked pretty good. but lagging really hard sounds pretty bad to play with. Maybe you should take a look into the support forums - maybe some other guys had the same problem and found a solution. rip :s and keep playing HC - since HC PoE is best PoE! Dear Math, please grow up and solve your own problems, I'm tired of solving them for you.	Posted by Leivi on Dec 28, 2012, 7:23:18 AM Quote this Post

I suck at hardcore with a constant 50ms ping, I wouldn't dare play it with a 250ms one.	Posted by Elynole on Dec 28, 2012, 9:50:41 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

I think most hc players would agree the lagomancer is the no. 1 killer of characters. Short of supplying a single player mode, in my view even the best precautions can hiccup when least desired.	Posted by Baskerville on Dec 28, 2012, 1:52:49 PM Quote this Post
Latency is a pretty big killer I have to agree. Just pull yourself back up and get playing Hardcore again though, SC really feels like it defeats the object of the game a little bit for me. I'm sure it'll get better, and if not over time you'll learn to compensate for it.	Posted by Pegglea on Dec 28, 2012, 2:05:14 PM Quote this Post
