Is DESYNC - really - that much of a problem? Really?

desync is a result of adopting and adapting predictive model as a way of mitigate server strain and ease communication payload

it is more or less SOUND idea. but this idea a) has to be properly implemented b) has drawbacks - desync and crap AI (AI cannot be really good/smart/dynamic because it then stops being predictive enough

it has NOTHING to do with dupes and cheating. this is short and cheap answer targeted at the gullible and not tech savvy enough

ggg tells us that current model allows accuracy/evasion system but any other system allows them too. there are massively popular and successful games with 30 players in session that use similar mechanics (world of tanks) - theyve adopted thin client architecture. ggg told us that it makes gamers feel 'not right' when they experience slight (<50ms) lag - and thats why theyve adopted lag-free (yeah..) desync-prone predictive model. fun fact: most professional FPS games are absolutely smooth and competitive at 150ms ping with pure/no-predict protocols. and these ARE damn faster than poe

but the truth is that playing world of tanks with full teams of around 30 people you feel NO LAG at all as long as your ping is less than 80-100ms. and before anyone tells 'but it is a slow game' - play one for one hour and get back to us and repeat it.

but what would happen with players with 200ms ping? they lag already AND desync..

it can be done. other games have done it. comparing it to d3 is cheap way out - theyve made technical decisions and implemented them. ggg made technical decision and left it half-baked. combat experience in d3 is unsurpassed. combat experience in poe is.. clunky and desync-prone

on topic - desync is a problem. it is something outside player control, something that will get you killed and something that if it kills you - feels really cheap. and for a game with such incredible potential - it is a very sad thing

sad because there were so many your sportsmen with 'incredible potential'. most of them never really managed to live up to them

I am actually quite happy that you can pretty effectively combat desync. But that is my personal opinion, i am not saying "YEAY love deynsc need some more". Just saying since it is in the game, it would be a tragedy if there was nothing you could do against it. Luckily there are some methods.

I have the same attitude towards it. Got myself a /oos script and never looked back. Once you learn the tells of when you are desynched and that in combination with the script its pretty much a non-issue. I've literally never died due to desynch. Never died to DC or game crashing either for that matter. There's really no reason to not be using /oos script nowadays. It sure as hell beats dying to desynch and then crying on forums imo.

If I would be a newbie that wants to asses the game and community and lurk on a forums by day or two I would get the impression that desync is really big, major problem that plagues this game,

I rarely get bothered or even killed by desync.

Sometimes even days pass without some major incident, whit just a hints of desync. Yes it can happen that it causes your death, rarely (but if you're lvl 99 HC guy that "rarely" can be too much)
