Your servers are shit.

Just right now 2 streamers who rip'ed to crash and server kicks on Reddit, to illustrate.

Also, when everything else works flawlessly on your 120 mb internet broadband except that one game, you do know it's the game servers fault.

I play SC cause this. I mean like 99% of deaths are lag and ppls think they elite due to geography. It's like being born in USA as opposed to Congo.

Naw mate you got accident of geography.

Reddit's reaction:

When someone dies to this kind of freezelagg:

"Buy a new computer you peasant"

When a whatever streamer dies to the same lagg:

"Yor servures are shett"

LOL! that is so true.

Seen Alk's death? That was bullshit lol

funny dude.

I would say GGG servers are pretty rockn. Only now has it started lagging and disconnecting. Otherwise, 99% of the time is SOLD GOLD.

Complainers must have AD......

I got Desync earlier but not playing on Desync

I totally agree with the OP that with the great job GGG did coding PoE so that all the crucial calculations are on the server simulation and not the client to eliminate 99% of client hacks and cheats (can't hack the client if it's not there to begin with) that the server simulation is required to do a ton more calculations per frame than other games that run butter smooth with our current game rig and Internet speed. I recently documented one such server side overload that killed my fps. My feedback post: Breaches are killing the frame rate conclusively shows how having a Breach in a map requires so much more server simulation code to be executed that it killed my fps and made it impossible to activate the breach for fear of lag death.

GGG would be well served to make a post trying to explain to people how they have this game set up so that people would stop making claims like "your servers are shit".

It's complicated. Your items/characters are stored in one location. The instance you create is run somewhere else. There's a gateway that gets you connected to those.

In short... it's a lot more complex that you think it is.

AND its not even on machines owned or operated by GGG. They're owned and run by a company called SoftLayer.

So... until you understand a bit more about what's going on.... quit it with the "your servers are shit" nonsense.

GGG servers are great.
