Hall of Grandmasters Is Practically Unplayable

The entire map is riddled with extreme lag that makes it almost impossible to complete due to periods of 1-3 seconds where the screen is frozen - and you die consequently. It happens on every realm I've been into(Washington D.C, Texas, etc) and it also affects all of my friends that I play with. Just going to save the map for when it's looked into so I don't have to keep wasting these maps and losing all of my experience.

Just got the map, should I run it ?

I don't know if the issues have been fixed, but whenever I attempted to run the map there would be extreme lag that froze the screen for 1-3 seconds and it stuttered a bunch.

I noticed the same when I played it. I thought maybe it was just me. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

P.S. got 1 shot by an archer before I even seen the f***er... Lame

That's unfortunate it isn't fixed. I'm very curious as to how .01% of the population of PoE beat it. For melee characters it's gg lol.

Just tried to run it today, still a laggy nightmare. Waiting for everything to load doesn't make a difference once you run into anything.

Wouldn't waste the map as of yet.

Yes i tried this, once u get past the first 5 waves the lag is unplayable....

same for me , i try so many time this map , i think i have the level and the dps to do it but the lags is too much

Extremely hard to beat but to beat it you need long range build with nice burst damage.

2 man it with me as a Hierophant magma orb staying back and spraying fire and my partner would throw lightning trap at the wall than trigger it dash back behind me and put trap on me to protect me from rusher.

Enemy that cause problem are the 2 full block aegis character with cwdt setup and the lv 100 lightning arrow archer with mirror gear.

There is also a leap character with insane attack speed and leech that can cause problem but can still be dealt with if careful.

Another good build is Explosive arrow archer, just stick lots of arrow in the wall activate it and the arrow explode and kill everything, the explosion are considered secondary damage thus cannot be blocked dodged or evaded.

Thing no to bring : meele single target like molten strike, any form of chaos damage build (CI will screw you and make this nearly impossible) , stun build (plenty are stun immune) and possibly summoner build (lots of aoe and lots of chain make this quite deadly.)

it's a stupid map because the modifier is PVP Scaling, yet we have no PVP and to my knowledge there is no qualitative explanation as to what PVP scaling means. So go ahead and play it, and you will DIE haha good luck
