Is Desync going to be the game killer?

After you learn what causes the desync u barely get any. What concerns me is the new players with less patience leaving a great game because of it.

this unfortunately is not true

or.. actually it is. but meaning of that is sad.

what desync removes (more or less) from the game:

- tactical/positional gameplay. the very thing ggg wanted to introduce designing current netcode
- TRUST between player and game. the 'im in control of my character' feeling is gone. game lied to me and i died
- skill factor (but introduces Desync Awareness Specialist, 1st class so player still matters)
- several mobility skills (whirling blades, shield charge, leap slam, cyclone, huge movement speed in general) coupled with narrow corridors/dors == serious desync
- parity: melee/ranged. desync HEAVILY favors ranged classes. to the point several of this type of players claim loudly that desync is fallacy and 'learn to play noob and get better computer/internet'


such issue can kill any game. currently it is 'beta' so people were forgiving it a lot (and d3 didnt deliver) but in 4 days beta is over and D3ex looks to greatly improve on D3 shortcoming. and sadly i think ggg gave up on this. ofc they tell us 'we are working on that' but thats only talking


btw game cant be 'great' with desync of such magnitude. it has great potential. but from this to being truly great there are some steps to be made.

no both,

it "killed" one of my characters

the build is a cyclone with multistrike and faster attacks also

I can defeat any enemy I encounter but as soon as I desync, I'm pretty much dead, needless to say, you people already know this kind of build causes desyncs perpetually

I literally cannot progress anymore because of it...

trying other builds but...this is unacceptable

it is this games achilles heel, for sure.

the first few times these new guys die and see there player teleport half way across the map will be it for them

all games got kind of lag problem, desync problem but somehow in this game you take it more serious.

I never have desync problem, might be because im not playing 24/7 but around 2-3 hours a day.

try that instead

Lag and desync are not the same thing. I would post the manifesto by Chris but I'm too lazy to find the link right now. GGG knows about desync but currently doesn't want to fix it.

Don't tell people it doesn't exist or isn't a problem when GGG admits it's there and they are working on it. (too slowly in my opinion)

since when did i say it doesnt exist?, i just give a suggestion to not play 24/7 a game, but try to lowering the time, to let the game rest to "re sync"

you have to read my post again, please.

Either you don't know what desync is or you don't play much at all. GGG admits it there, so how can you not have something that exists?
