Maybe the fact that it is stil in BETA

It's not. They can call it whatever they want, but it's not a beta when they start accepting money, period. This game officially released the moment they opened up the cash shop.

I am seeing the lag the OP is talking about. It wasn't that bad yesterday around this time, but this morning it's been pretty crazy.

u guys gotta be kidding me...the game is completely UNPLAYABLE,I have 1600 ping in town,and nearly the same wherever I go.FIX the goddamn game,im quiting for now.In every other game I get 60-100 ms

i have all time 100 ping and my fps is 100+ always fix your god damn internet :) and this is BETA what do you guys expect no bugs or laggs? geez

Strange. I haven't encountered much lag at all, if any.

It wouldn't surprise though me if some people are experiencing lag lately. These last couple of days have seen the highest number of online players ever. I'm sure it will get better in time with the number of online players being distributed more evenly and GGG ordering more server capacity in case the game gets even more popular.

I think he might be talking about rubber banding lag....
Where you activate a skill and nothing happens and then it does no damage, then it spikes damage...

I stopped playing because of it, it ruins the whole game. It's unplayable

Hi!
Iam 33 and i noticed that this game is so hard to play, because its ridiculously lagged and bugged. Many monsters die after some time and thats fine, its just lag, but hit detection, man- its just horrible. When i play Diablo or any other h's when i hit or cast spell and it hits target he takes dmg. At PoE many times i just spam my aoe frost blast and targets are hitted(visually), but after a while i notice they take no dmg and i hav reclick on some mob to actually do dmg. Its just stupid. Also i cant cast my blast at doors areas, because it thinks there is no any waypath. Hope it will be fixed, because now game is nearly bad to play with thoes issues.

Maybe you're playing through wrong gateway? Try choosing the correct one in the login screen. I am playing since OB day 1 and my latency never goes over 50 ms.
Also when you fail to inflict damage with skills/attacks thats not because of lag or bugs, its simply because you missed. Your character has a chance to hit determined by your stats, you can check it in your character panel. So your attacks and skills miss sometimes, thus inflicting no damage.

They were also accepting money in closed beta. Does that mean it wasn't really closed beta?
I agree though. Your logic is flawed, but open betas are more soft releases than tests. GGG even said so themselves.

Hi!
I am 32 and I noticed blahblah.
No lag, delay or whatever you want to call it on me.

Stop playing with crap connection, trust me, it helps a lot.

I notice when you solo kill or killing a mob by mob it's smooth no lag, and when you start AoE'ing high amount or just AoE'ing, I get rubber banding even with a stable 50 ms

Same lag issues here. I was posting about lags starting about half year ago. Devs just don't care. Money flow even with these lags, why waste efforts fixing bugs?

They were accepting prepurchases in CB, that's totally different. Open betas are usually not "soft releases." They are usually stress tests with wipes afterward. Some games do have long open beta periods without a wipe after, but they usually don't open the cash shop until after.

This is not a test, we are not testing. We are playing a game and spending real money on cash shop items, right now, we are consumers and we should expect an appropriate level of service. Unfortunately this is also 2013, and a piece of software, meaning even if they had officially released it there would still be lots of bugs and issues that we would be expected to deal with and report. Currently I haven't noticed any more issues/lag than I noticed playing Diablo 3 a couple weeks after it came out, so I'd say it's not that bad on that front (making the beta tag even more bizarre). There is some lag though, and it's almost definitely related to some servers just being over crowded on the weekend after release.

Try a different server.
