Desync in PoE vs other games

That is the issue. You basically did EXACTLY what I said, but at least in a nicer manner: you came to GGG's rescue to tell me to quit because I dont like desync or the reasons its there because I know better.

The people who actually cheat could care freakin less about desync; they are cheating and are cheating now because where there is a will, there is always a way, and people are cheating as we speak; the only people suffering are posters like me getting lag killed playing legit and not scroll-hacking/map-hacking/botting/multi-boxing/RMTing/whatever that is going on right now.

I can and will continue to post my displeasure with Desync like I always have because it should not be that bad, and the explanations for it make little sense, and are merely excuses anyways. Their set-up does not stop cheating. Period.

ofcourse it is only excuse that if there were no desync, there would be hackers.

Everything is possible, GGG has to have some vision. That is why i admire Steve Jobs. He invented the impossible. You can fight gravity, i don't have any clue about coding games or anything but if there was no fix for this desync, why bothering makin this game then? cause in short run, game will be awesome but in long run poepole will stop playing it if desync will not get fixed.

I am only angry with GGG because they did not confirm that they are working on this problem.

EDIT: yeah i invited 4 of my friends and they were amazed with game, and they quited after 2 weeks and now they don't even want to talk about it, 1 failed at vaal merciless and got killed, 3 of them died due to desync... once my friend told me, where do you see hardcore in this game? you get desynced hard as you advance to higher level (more mobs ---> more desync) now i will lay low until next year IF they will say something about the desync problem.

i hope they know that in long run this will gave this game bad reputation and ppl will eventualy stop playing it.

Give the server full control. I'll take 250ms of lag over this harebrained predictive nonsense any day. It's not like you have to be agile in this game.

I'd like to see how that'd pan out, just as an experiment. I DO play very agile characters though -- movement-speed based dagger shadows, evasion characters actively using whirling blades as a dodge mechanic, etc.

So if such a change were made, I feel I'd be the sort of player to notice it.

The set-up stops duping and I haven't seen something like the trade hack either. There is a lot of cheating that is stopped. Granted, not all cheating is stopped, but a lot is. So, their set-up are stopping cheating, just not all of it.

If PoE trusted the client more, there would be even more cheating than there already is. Just because there is a lot of cheating, it doesn't mean there isn't a lot of cheating being stopped.
