Will the desync ever be fixed?

Sometimes I wonder if folks are playing a different game than me.

I am really no where near a server so I cannot claim the uberest connectivity. So....that's not it.

Maybe my play style just does not enhance this problem to the point where vitriol is the only thing coming out of my mouth in regards to this game. That could be what's happening I do not know.

What I do know is this game is really fun and the developers continue to improve desync and claim it as a top issue. If you read the manifesto you will understand why things are set up the way they are. Honestly, (FOR ME), the desync is not as bad as the alternative....duped items/bugged items, all sorts of shenanigans.

PoE won't die, but it has loads of potential unused as well. Even with it unused still an insanely good game.

Wow, never thought it'd go this far. Good to see people caring (whether in favor or against). I don't see why not focus on future servers. Like one in South America, maybe put back online the one in Singapore, and so on. Watch all the other mmo that did this, and how its community grew because of it.

Yeah its a great game, I have some matters of personal taste grievances that I wont hold against the game...

However. Desync is maddening and ever present.

I can honestly say that in my many...many years of gaming that ive never seen it as bad as in this game (perhaps Dawntide and Earthrise had it worse, but those games died)

Its the only thing that's keeping this game down, and in a massive way.

There is no pay barrier to enter the game. The cash shop is fair and not even in the slightest way pay to win or a total rip off. The game is deep in customization and offers the look many were missing from that other game. It hands down has the best business model. Its a theorycrafter and build junkies wet dream.


But all of that doesn't mean much when that mob im attacking in front of me isn't taking damage and then the game resyncs me into a room full of mobs I was no where near and cant even figure out what caused me to theoretically move there and im dead.

Doesn't matter when the core gameplay around my favorite class types is kiting...and I have to ignore where I am and the enemy are on my screen and guess when I have enough room to stop turn and shoot.

Doesn't matter when I have to ignore HC mode and leagues because of the issue.

It makes combat cumbersome and slow because I cant get into situations where a bad sync will wipe me, happens far too much playing it safe.

Oh I have an overkill gaming rig, fast internet, and good ping. The...ehm...other game...runs like a dream and ive never experienced once the issue I have in this game every few minuets.


It needs to be addressed and fixed. Its a priority if this game ever wants to compete. POE had a unique spot where everyone hated the other game and there was nothing else. That changes soon, even if you figure most wont toucn the new expansion..other games are coming.

Answer to OP!

NO!

GGG don't have time to fix real problems! They must do events and advertising!

I cannot disagree. :)

I have never in my life seen it this bad anywhere in any proper game. Not even close. I don't intend to excuse it either like so many people seem to be doing. It will be like the last specimen of a dying breed of flowers that is robbed of the majority of it's daylight that it needs to grow - It will never reach it's full potential.

Dat desync...

They can make unlimited auto/oos , but for this they need much more servers powa and they dont want spend money for our cryings) so,No,desync will be forever

I agree,

In fact its just as maddening to hear the community excuses for the desync issue. Its like they want it to exist and like it for whatever reason.

Its absolutely insane the excuses I hear from the community about the issue. Yeah maybe all games have it...but not like POE...not even close...and ive played ALL ARPG games (not that many out there).


So perhaps GGG should have a fundraiser cash shop sale, special item pack or something...use the proceeds to buy either someone who knows what they are doing with netcode or just purchase whole sale some working code. Cant be hard acquire since every other game has figured it out.

If this is all some elaborate anticheat prank...thanks for punishing all the legit players to stop a few bad apples...always the worst option imo.


Oh and I understand it may be a monumental task to fix. This is apparently a successful game so theoretically they should have funds...and the quicker they start the monumental recoding the faster the game will get fixed.
