Regarding desync, Is it just me? Or does movement skills still cause desync?

It's just you. The same quantity of desync occurs movement skill or not, it's just more noticeable with movement skills.

its GGG, they never listen normal people, so no chance they would re-thing it.

If this were true, we'd still have the whole issue with desync. GGG do listen to us, it's just that their ability to communicate the fact that they have listened seems to be a bit sub-par, and that, perhaps due to their size, sometimes it takes them a long time to get around to sorting out the issues that have been raised.

But desync was global problem even to that small group, so your point wrong.

Oh, I see what you mean by 'normal'. I'd thought that by normal you just meant anyone who wasn't a GGG staff member. Still though, your point about desync being a global problem doesn't show that GGG weren't listening to people within the group you would call 'normal' people. The best you can do from that point is to say that it shows that it is possible that GGG weren't listening to the 'normal' people, while I can still say that whatever else it shows, it certainly does show that there are occasions on which GGG do listen, whoever it is that they listen to.

Dear Chris,

see all those angry comments on that patch? And i must admit i´ve been flaming here too!
And don´t get me wrong, I absolutely admire your work, so forgive me :)

We (at least I) am just not happy with this particular change - and it is one of the few patches where i really say it is over the top. But i thought about it during the last days...i had a hard time grinding on, and i´m still not very happy about it. But - again - hey it´s just the game ! And i am really missing some fun in this discussion. Who are we gamers, not to laugh about stuff like this?

So i decided to start up max & phootshop and respond in my own way with some 5-minute work. I guess you wouldn´t be a game dev if you had no sense for humor Mr.Wilson, right? :-)

Same feels got 99,999% of gamers, i mean all humans cant accept such a bad decision to nerf exp, when it was already ultra hard. Like GGG think it will help players play longer, not just leave game forever and forgot about it as bad dream.

But as i said GGG not use such a useless thing as logic.

This change makes me feel so sad. Up until the xp nerf I had my best items on my highest level character because it was worthwhile trying to progress that character. But since the xp nerf I've basically stopped playing that character. It's no longer worth my time trying to level him because the penalty is so harsh, to the point that I've taken the best items off him and put them on a different, lower level, character. The xp nerf has, essentially, totally stopped me from playing my highest level character. :(

We want to strike a good balance between rewarding progression and a race to 100 that isn't over in ten days each league.

Then you guys should implement Exp fatigue system. The faster the exp a player gain, the more exp penalty he will receive.(and you balance this system around the top players) They still can race within the fatigue system, exp bar still move just slower.

quite a number of MMO implement this trick to stop the no-lifer from leveling 1 character too quick & this system does not punish the more casual players who do not have 14-16hours a day to play the game but still wanted to go max level & have some progression.

this idea is even stupider than the new exp changes. i really hope nothing like this ever gets implemented, it would completely ruin the game. why should "casual" players care if they don't get as much out of the game as the "hardcore" players who have invested much more time and effort into playing the game? why do they deserve it? why punish the people who dedicate more time to playing the game? i can't understand this sense of entitlement at all. clueless whiners like you are the reason this thread exists in the first place. it causes me actual pain to see that there are people that agree with your post.

and of course, private profile and probably no character above level 90. no idea why people think they should have a say in balance decisions that do not affect them. thank God you didn't post this nonsense to reddit or it might have been added to the game by now.

All i can say is that before this it was still a pain in the butt to get to 100 regardless. Now, its even worse.

you guys should fix this in the future and maybe not cut it down so much.

Unfortunately this is the first time i have ever had to say thumbs down on something you guys have done with this game.

Thumbs Down.....

this may be a good or bad idea, why not un cap the level or have prestige levels they give no benefit other than your position on the ladder in challenge leagues, wouldn't just be a race to 100 then people would continue to push as long as they could to see whats possible in the league? personally I would just un cap. if someone manages to hit level 1000 in 3 months good on them, I think this would give incentive to a lot of people who hit 100 and leave for the last 2.5 months. then your xp penalties could be returned to normal so players like us who don't fuss about 100 can level along at our own place like we like to and not be punished by the 0.1%
