please GGG, for the love of god, fix Strongboxes

ATM you can run all you want from the box - after 1 sec I am warped back right in the middle of the mop because of the lag even I was long gone before...

Just sucks and COMPLETETLY takes the fun out of it.
Rather cancel those effing boxes all together.

I reaaaaally hope they've fixed it with the upcoming patch.
One way or the other.

+1, strongboxes are a source of occasional death to my char, even with smoke mine. Them things is buggy as heck.

And don't reply "they're optional". Would a russian roulette NPC be a sensible option? No? Then why is this OK on boxes?

Walking out of the middle of a freshly spawned strongbox pack won't work half the time because mobs are going to block your way. That has nothing to do with lag, nor is it in itself an issue.

The issue you've experienced is that your game client simply told you nonsense when letting you past the enemies in the first place. What happened was not you being "warped" but rather the client correcting itself once the server (which knew you were surrounded and locked in place and always has the last word) detected the discrepancy.

This so called "desync", while very annoying in its own right, is a different subject altogether and beyond the scope of this thread.

I'd like to clear up some things.

How lockbox's desync is different. I've actually had a really good run of them last 3 days!
It's down to the point, if it's not one I care about, I'll just click it un'ID'ed!!!


Ok sure, there's some 'better gamer' things to do, like Lighting Warp is a good plan as it's delayed.


BUT, there's times when it or anything else won't/don't matter. Game stops, 5-7sec later, you just 'appear' under the locbox dead.

Same as the frustrating thing where you desync 'bad' and you teleport 'rooms' with doors you haven't opened and distances your movement speed wouldn't allow. (No path or way a player could do that in that time)



Anyway, don't bag out on other players saying learn to play, or get a real computer. Because, if lockbox's are working good for you, your lucky! The player may not have a 'play better' choice and dev's need to know to fix the game and make it better. There's no conspiracy where some players have decided to be c runts to the dev's over lockbox's...
