DIED BY DESYNC AGAIN

well, shit happens from time to time, but if die to it regularly then you either have crappy system/connection/ISP, or doing something wrong

People often blame desync or game mechanics for their own incompetence

i totally agree, i also barely desync and i say that as a cyclone/flicker strike player ;)

I can definitely understand the OP frustration. I've played this since the beta and this annoying as hell problem was there and even today keeps happening. It's never improved. I've tried lowering my gfx settings etc even though I shouldn't have too. I have SSD drives. It doesn't matter. It always seems to happen at a convenient time in the game. End match with the boss, when chests open you get surrounded and you can't do jack or you run away and then 3-4 seconds it warps you back into the big group of enemy and before you can do anything you're dead. It happens frequently. I have 5MB/s down, and nearly 2MB/s up it's not my connection. i7 processor, 16GB ram, GTX660, Win7. I can play games like Oblivion, Diablo 3, Starcraft, Farcry 3, BF4, COD to mention a few without issue yet I play this game and almost too often it's this warping crap and it always comes at the most F'ing inconvenient time. I don't play hardcore because with this problem it sucks. I'm not wasting my time with that crap. Hard to complain though and I've refrained from such because it's for the most part a free game. Nothing you can do because obviously these dev's have no clue how to fix the issue or their servers suck ass. Just have to suck it up and swear at your screen when it happens. I'm good at that. LOL!

ONE THING! These devs should be able to at least detect these occurrences somehow and be less aggressive on the experience penalty. You wipe away someone's hour of playing, I don't know how you expect that person to be happy. This happened to me last night (but not overly often). 3 freaking times I got desync issue with Gravicious. He was literally dead, like maybe 10 health points but it was warp city. I lost probably 35-40 minutes of playing. That's just stupid. Don't even try telling me you have no way to detect these desync problems. If you diagnostic (F1) shows it happen you can adjust for it.

Desync sucks but being that I've been around since the start and seen nothing to fix it, I'm not holding my breath that a thread like this will influence any real effort to fix it.

@Ludvator, and some people just talk $hit.

@Therealshotzz Not like your statement can be proven. Fanboys are everywhere.

Hey guys ! Just passed by to announce yet another death by desync. Was getting outside the Shipyard boss to finish off map and suddenly encountered a pack of humanoids. Faced them on melee range. Desynced. Watched how my life was going down and I wasn´t firing. I couldn´t fire anyway even trying hard. My ES wen down two or three times again. Tried to scape but was too late.

DIED.

No Leap Slam, just walking. LOL at someone playing hardcore when you can die like this for free.

Some people just won't ever learn, rather refuse to take a lesson out of it. Have fun dying.

And yet, a lot of people are doing just fine on hardcore (even as melee). What are they doing that you aren't? :)

Can you please explain what is that I don´t know ? Can you explain how do you avoid such situation please ? Enlighten me.

Stop blaming desync and take a look at what you did. Simple as that. What's the point of constantly complaining about it? Will sync improve? Will you die less of it? No.

Also people, who understand desync and how it's working, are doing pretty fine in HC leagues. I myself am playing just HC leagues, and I've lost some characters to desync, but I took a lesson out of it and such situations are never happening now.

Plus I'm participating 40min DC and 1hour Descent. They can be desync fest, especially 40min with two swords + 20% MS boots and constants QS up; it's filled with narrow passages. I've died to desync several times, I acknowledged that, but nothing more - no blame put on desync. Understanding my poor decisions is what made me a better racer and player in general:

Please, let me LOL at your bragging. I don´t care about your silly arguments about how did you "rectified your poor decissions".

How do you avoid desync just facing a pack of humanoids on an open space ? I was at shipyard, regular instance, no narrow passages.

Please explain how to "rectify my poor decission" and stop bragging about your gear. Do you have a solid answer ? Or should I understand it better as " I am just a masochist. I ripped many hardcore characters for free, but I don´t care, I like getting my ass stuffed with metal bars often"

It´s amazing how there is people that already accepted this as if it was their fault and if desync was a feature of the game. I mean, if you really like the game you will keep on playing it, yeah.

But the dimensions of the blatantly absurd excuses you throw it's beyond my understanding.

I'm not bragging, just providing proof to what I was saying about races. Also there's nothing that I can add to my previous post.

Adapt, learn and get better.

Also, please, don't post in so defensive manner.

"

There's a little masochist in every HC player, I believe. It' just much different experience in playing such leagues - you actually feel loss when your character dies, unlike playing Softcore "Hardcore". You know, the adrenaline rush, shaking hands, it's pretty awesome feeling.

I would hope that all HC players understand that there could be deaths by external factors as desync, server-crash, your ISP, electricity outage, various PC problems, etc.. shit happens. But when it comes to desync, there were actions made by you that could have not or made in a safer manner to avoid desync. I can't affect server sync, but I for sure can take better actions that would not lead me into desyncing so much or at all, it sucks, but it's something we have to live with.

Give me solid answers to what I am asking and if you don´t have any, just don´t answer instead of bragging off your gear cause I am not interested on it.

What goes for this specific incident - I can't, because I don't know what actually happened there.
That's why I'm telling - rewind and think for a second about what you did and what could be done to avoid it. That is all.

And I'm out. Have fun dying, once again.
