Playing SC doesn't really solve the problem anyway. Playing this game with the amount of lag it currently has is no fun at all, no matter the mode and no matter how tanky you are. It's like watching a dia show rather than playing a game. GGG needs to get their shit straight, game performance has dropped through the floor all the way to hell and beyond since they started their "performance improvements" at the end of crucible. It's an unplayable mess at this point.

One could say Lag Spikes is the authentic online gaming experience.
So is dying to lag.

Here, Here!

the 2k ping is part of the HC experience! It's built in as an additive level of difficulty.

If only you could display it in your profile...

Hi
Don't play HC if you are from EU, state of EU servers (from Affliction league ) is pathetic and still abandon.
And, pls, ( info for white-knights) don't tell me that EU servers are good, it's a general isssue.

Sounds like a big you problem since you play HC and also cause you try to rock around on HC with a terrible wifi connection.

Server are fine bro. I can play on any eu server all the way from the west coast with acceptable 200ms ping(to be expected with this distance).
What's not acceptable is the high quality routing (telia, twelve99 and more) within the EU.

The servers are fine. More often than not it boils down to your ISP and routing. I had the same issue here and in XIV. Not a big deal though - quick traceroute and the problem was found. Telia/Twelve99.net nodes suck major dick. However, my ISP is dogwater and couldn't help so I went and got myself a quality VPN. Been playing with a crisp 6ms ping to Frankfurt ever since, no more packet loss and a rock solid connection at all times.

Servers are fine for you playing in Europe. Despite what some Americans may think, Europe is not a singular country but a whole ass continent.

I live in Germany and perseonally had zero issues with servers this season. I had some issue in Affliction league which I could trace back to my ISP, but wonder oh wonder they only ever occured with PoE and no other online game I play.

A friend of mine who lives just 1 city away had massive connectivity issues ever since Affliction league and since quit the game for good and nothing we tried helped. He's playing other online games without any issues whatsoever. Same with a friend from Poland, and another guy from the UK (who's holding on for now but highly frustrated as well).

It would be good to remember that your personal experience may not be comparable to someone else's. This gaslighting about other people's experiences on the forums is getting out of hand.

Routing is still the keyword in this case and people still forget that and put the blame on the server.
You can look it up and you'll find the same issues across many popular games and and not just Poe.
I've played Poe and other games while living in a EU country before I moved to the west coast and the connection was often pretty bad to terrible past a certain time, and upon a quick check it was always a problem caused by the same trouble makers. Throw in a VPN and be surprised of how well things work without the bad routing options between bad, bad and somewhat decent.
If it was a server problem on GGG's side everyone would be affected with ping issues and not just a handful of players.

I never tried HC...

Well. Once. For very short time.

This game never gave required in my opinion stability. Theree always something that can and will go wrong. I accept this but it is the reason why playing HC in PoE is unacceptable.

But if someone has fun from it, play it but be aware how PoE works. Stop whining because that will change nothing. Just deal with the game as it is.

Didn't see HC mentioned, but if HC dies don't it go to Softcore Standard?

So you really didn't lose anything other than playing the League...and depending on where you live maybe HC just right for you.

I always thought that the people playing HC in this game are masochists in their personal life.

Yes, but for HC players, standard is the same thing as voided league.
