What is Desync? (A thorough explanation)
|
Brilliant latency system cause me to die to brutus through a solid wall during a turbo race.
I accept death, however. But man oh man is it craptastic to have that be an element of gameplay |

Thumbs up for the OP and GGG.
I'm really having fun since OB. I died many times in HC from desync as melee and now trying caster. I noticed that I marely met hard desync than while I was playing melee. I suppose that because of auto-following(pathfinding) function. Hard desync comes often when I lock the target and use a melee skill to a target behind ingame obstacles without holding shift key. I understand this auto-following function (hovering mouse cursor on a target and holding on it) makes the control much easier but also think it doesn't necessarily have to be implemented as it is like now. If this function is completely removed, a character always attenmpts to attack at current location just like when holding shift. If a character only moves to the designated location and try to hit whether a selected target is in the skill range or not, server receives the right location where the player intended to move. Either case, still desync can happen but at least inconsistency between server and on players screen can be minimum. Anyways, I hope GGG won't be listening my random fancies and instead, keep throwing me into rough challenges :P Stop Bombing

" He's lvl 85 now actually, god only knows how. Probably something to do with the 34 days /played on him and pure luck mitigating the ~50 desync deaths between 84 and 85. He's hung up now, though, I actually love slow progress (more than you could imagine) but there comes a point where tedium and annoyance overtakes fun. " I have, he's 81 and will probably hit the same wall but I expect it to be a little higher for this build. But, I do NOT agree that desync is supposed to stop you from leveling, that there is possibly the most absurd thing I have ever read. Casually casual.

" I don't know why this point has been made and repeated ITT. D3 mobs do indeed have collision with each other. Hell, it was the way to progress back in original inferno as a melee for act 3. The... leap in-IP-leap-charge out was replaced by funneling as soon as you hit act 3. Casually casual.

" I wanted to said the same. D3 has everything that PoE has, but the worst thing you can experience in D3 is teleporting back, when in PoE : - you can desync and teleport forwand behind wall to room full of enemies, - enemies can teleport randomly (Brutus is best example) - and you can do swings and cast spells that don't hit you enemies in front of you. Teleporting forward never should happend. It's like PoE servers are trying too hard to predict your movement and when fail to do this they are telling his client that they had right. Collision checking should be done on client and server should agree with client when collision happens, that would solve lot of problems. " You need millions of dollars if you want cinematics like Blizzard. If you want good code you need good design decision and one person who write the code. BTW no one is talking about different situation: netcode is good but servers can handle heavy load and GGG don't want put queues here. |

"slow paced games (like strategy games) do not suffer as much as games where many things go on at the same time"
Tell this to avid Starcraft players. They will laugh hard. There are more actions per minute in SC than in PoE per hour (little exaggeration). So this argument is not valid. And SC is also not very challenging. So it has not to deal with that much of desync...Yeah sure. DMT: Load universe into a gun. Aim at brain. Fire.

This is a perfect example why forum needs voting.
I really don't have the time to read all 15 pages to search for a TL:DR summary what desync is about. I'm sure it could be explained in less than 10 sentences like "bad code/ servers are crap" whatever. Would have been great to have a highlighted TL:DR voted up to the top. Oh well, back to page 1 then and let's eat this wall of text with a flu and mother of all headaches... "Players can now smack around players who are having trouble very early on."

My 3rd (hc) marauder died. 20 monkeys and the game went crazy. I think I will play the game again, if I can read a patch notice, which says "desync problem fixed, finally".
