How are people playing PoE?

Whenever I try to do anything, I get disconnected within a few minutes, even on the "more stable" US servers.

What's the secret to a disconnect-free PoE experience? I finally think I can get to endgame now and all these disconnects ruin it.

I’m having the same exact issue which is odd because I’ve been playing this game for months since the beta launch and never had this issue before. I mean it would happen very rarely from time to time but I would be able to get right back in and then not have issues again and the game would remember where I was and all that.

I’m playing on hardcore this time and I’m at the final boss of Act 1 and it keeps happening to me. I’ve tried to get through the manor like 4 times now and I can’t make it to the boss before it happens and boots me out. What’s even worse is the game is not remembering where I was properly like it should be so it resets me at the very beginning of the manor each time instead of wherever I was with my portal. It’s so annoying. Only plus side is I’ve gotten like 2 plus levels then I normally would have by the time I get to this boss because I keep redoing the damn level lol. Usually your level 17 by the time you reach the final boss of act 1. I’m almost level 19 now. I

But I have no clue what’s going on. I don’t think it’s us. This game randomly keeps getting issues by the dozen. Every new patch they do introduces new problems. I’m sorta getting worried about the official game launch at this rate. I mean it’s been months and they haven’t even fixed simple shit like the frame rate issue which is still pretty bad in alot of areas dropping to almost 30fps in some areas especially when you reach endgame map content where there is like a million visuals happening . I have no clue how they plan to fix all that and let this game run smoothly. Because it’s gonna be a major problem for hardcore gamers if they constantly die from crud like this as they will die for good and have to totally restart each time.

There’s even other bugs that easily should have been fixed by now such as when you go to exhaust dialogue options from NPCs it does not fade out the different dialogue options when you’ve chosen them so you can’t see which ones you’ve done. This only happens with the console versions because I’ve seen it not happen for PC gamers. It’s totally stupid. But there’s a a lot of silly crap like this.
