GGG does not listen to 'what they need to' or several issues such as desynch would be corrected


Really? I do believe GGG and it's supporters have said multiple times in multiple threads that they have commented on this?

Desync is a problem because GGG wants everything server side in an attempt to prevent hackers and modifications to their game.

I'm not sure how effective it is or if it will prevent it at all, but I respect their decision. You should too.

As I mentioned, Lightning Thorns is fine. I am 'dealing with it'. Do not attack me for being aware.


You should read my post again. It was mostly oriented towards Centauri, especially when I said "To add,".

I apologize if it came out as an attack towards you as it was neither an attack nor meant directly to you.
Fair enough.
Several people have given suggestions on ways to aid with Desynch without having to give over an additional data to us, and keep everything server-side. But not a single one of them has been done. I find it curious, and I've talked about that in other threads plenty enough. I bear no hostility to it. I'm sympathetic to GGG because the issue is one that would be very difficult to resolve at this point in time. It was something best handled in the games infancy. <3

I apologize for construing what you said as an attack. I should not assume hostilities unless I am positive they are meant as such. I hope we continue to get along past now <3

It's better for you to claim it to be something and me clarify that I didn't mean it in such a way than to leave is shadowed. No worries.

The only real work-around to desync, at least as far as I know, is using any hotkey program and having it do /oos with every keystroke and mouse click. I used it for a bit and it worked. Changing my keyboard settings so now it's unusable.

It's not been done because every reasonably good, well though out "fix" has been read and commented on by the lead programers as to why it wouldn't work or make a difference.

It absolutely has. ScotiemcB suggested dual protocols, I've made several suggestions of changes that could be made to reduce it's effects (such as larger doorframes, and not putting insanely fast mobs inside small places with lots of small passageways (looking at you Vaal Ruins)). None of which has been either addressed or implemented. We've discussed in detail in other threads how stuns (and as such stun immunity) effect or reduce desynch, and we've also discussed ways to avoid becoming desynched to help avoid the problem until it is hopefully fixed by the devs one day.

A lot of conversation has happened on it: and in the end fixing the netcode to work properly at this point would be a nightmare, and it will be a long time before they can correct it: even if they dedicated all their time and manpower to it right now.

Awareness and reacting to this defect is part of the game right now, after all <3
