Yeah I feel that for movement skills.

This league has been particularly annoying when the servers have a wobble, leap slam is not my friend. Bounce bounce bounce, rewind selecta, death. Or getting stuck in actual scenery like corners, doorways (to the point where I have to leap slam out, moving yields no movement) and walls.

Was having fun on EQ but when nothing happens after hitting a flask, it's annoying to just die in that short timeframe.

The server list is all filled with triple digit ping and there is nothing to do but hope.

Glad to hear more ZA players struggling with movement skills. I am at a point where I do not use any movement skills. And choose builds around not needing them.

Don't be glad, it's awful haha. I still use flame dash, and blink arrow if I'm doing a bow build.

Dash, frost blink and whirling blades are basically unusable at 170ms on predictive imo. Don't really recall when last I used leap slam, but I bet it was bad.

Wish getting a gateway here got half the attention the cluster jewels got =/

I've been using Withering Step on left-click recently. It only works between packs as it falls off as soon as you use a skill. Still decent boost of about 50% movement speed when linked to enhance without the desync you get from other movement skills. Better than just using quicksilver flasks.

Now back to the front page with you

Glad to see this getting a bit of traction. Maybe one day when the feedback forums are read (lol), we may yet get an answer on this. One day is one day!

I'll give it a go, but I bet I'll desync rubber band and die from it same as all the others, eventually.

Just look at us, discussing the positives of one movement skill being slightly less awful than another because it might make us desync a little bit less, thanks GGG!

Gladly throw my voice in here as well.

Yes, we sit on the corner of a long ass continent, but South Africa has a rapidly growing gaming community, and a lot of people would play this if we got a server closer to us.

Yeah, 200ms latency is not THAT bad, it is playable..although barely. Still manage it with good timing, but if there is any other traffic on the network, or contention on the exchange, then you go in to a slow slideshow to your death, and often disconnects from server timeouts. It really really sucks.

...and it's not just us. The whole Southern Africa would also benefit from this. That's 5+ countries full of greatfull smiling PoE faces, from 1 gateway :puppyface:

Bamp in the hopes of management having a leisurely Sunday afternoon scroll through the feedback forums for lulz and seeing this :)

As a new work week starts in NZ, I so bump this thread.

Well, NZ Monday was bust. Maybe tomorrow... lmao

If you guys want to experience the worst desync ever, try out Dash with double dash distance enchant. I tried it out in the last league. You dash across the screen and get desynced back halfway every single time. There doesn't even have to be anything in the way. Just an open area and desync like you've never experienced.
