Is it possible to prevent this? I remember having desync problems before the lockstep, but I could always log out no matter what, but in this case the screen was just frozen and I could not do anything. I have seen a couple of streamers also dying to this bullshit. screenfreeze is the old desync... Alt+F4 or some killmakro if you freeze too long, issue solved. There is no difference between freezing for 10 seconds (new) or your client telling your some bullshit stories, while you are still stuck between all monster in reality for those 10 seconds (old system). but in general I feel like the game runs much better during soloplay now, compared to prepatch, while in parties things got worse | ||

However the problem is that I could not log out of the game during the lag. It is true that i did not try ALT+F4, but would that really help? I mean if you lose internet connection and your character is stucked on the server, how fast can the server realize that you disconnected if you use ALT + F4? I really want to play Tempest league, but this worries me as there seems to be nothing I could do to prevent the death. I remember with the old system (Desync prone) I could log out even when desynced - but the dirrence was my internet connection was online so I could send info to server immediately that i logged out. What happens when you lose connection (on your side) and you ALT + F4? | ||

What happens when you lose connection (on your side) and you ALT + F4? What you described was most likely complete package lost, so log-out wouldn't help much even you were able to do so. Nowadays the game keep you in the game for quite long if there is a flat line in latency ( reason given was for a better playing experience i.e not getting dc out of the game every few mins or so for some people). In order to log-out you need to give a command to the server tp process, but since nothing goes through lockstep mode doesn't let/unrealistically show you the log out optios. The game literally can't log you out, and since lockstep = realistic 1:1 display of what's happening with no bs, it lead to what you experienced. | ||

I guess only make sure that my connection is as stable as possible... By the way could someone invite me back to the TL guild please? I was a member for some time during beyond league, but then i took a break from POE. Now I am playing almost every day in Tempest League. Account name: Ricjames / Character name: ChewGumCrack | ||

Now I need some new build inspiration... Ice Crash was tons of fun, would like to go melee again but not cyclone (too boring for me). How does sweep really compare to Ice Crash? I get the impression it's strictly worse in terms of damage but has the bonus of knockback, any thoughts? (Or I just jump on the bandwagon and go dual flame totem). Crit Reave also looks tempting but I don't know about Evasion builds in this meta... | ||

Crit Reave also looks tempting but I don't know about Evasion builds in this meta... Ice crash, static strike ans sweep all build very similarly. One of my Warbands chars is crit sweep which felt super safe and cleared pretty well, but gave up after lvl 78 because Hegemony's is probably BiS for it but costs way too much. Crit ice crash -> phys lightning -> HoI + HoT -CoH-Ass Mark is pretty good too. Eva feels really weak. Armor much better. Melee does too much damage so it doesn't matter if you avoid a lot, because the one hit that gets through is gonna be a one shot. Plus, accurate/precise mobs. | ||

Crit Reave also looks tempting but I don't know about Evasion builds in this meta... I'm playing a reave character, with heavy investment in swords, little in crit, and hybrid armor/eva/block for defence. Works reeaaaally well, fast gameplay, don't even read map mods anymore (phys reflect actually increases my dps because of tempest shield proccing all the time, plus it's hilarious to watch). With less damage and a bit more life it's totally hardcore viable. Here's my tree + gear. | ||

Aside from that, it helps in a lot of shitty map mods and you don't need to activate auras anymore (minor issue lol). | ||

edit1: But to be honest, after a couple of hours, this game is great! Graphics to die for, so many areas and quests and monsters to kill. No money is cute, but for the life of me I what am I going to do with 20 kinds of orbs? Also that skill tree... clutch my heart and scream OH MY GOD what do I DO? As for my character, I made a fire witch, with a couple of zombies to tank. She'll probably get nerfed no end in later difficulties, but what the hey, I'm happy! edit2: This game is too big. The levels are recursive, so are the enemies, and the orbs, and all the gear. I wouldn't wonder if the skill tree loops in later difficulties either. And the graphics... Ok as a fire mage I am contributing my fair share to the visual chaos, but in the battle with the 3rd area boss, on the roof top (climb 10 stairs), I couldn't figure out who was doing what to whom, and died a couple of times in the process. Everything was cursed, shooting, conjuring, there were so many curses around that all I could do to keep from dying was hitting potions :p Lets see how the later levels go. As to the orbs, I've got a couple of alchemist's orbs, 1 blessed orb, those seem to be the rarest. Keeping them until I can't keep going and I need better items, hopefully by that time I'll have found better units to orb. | ||

My tooltip DPS is higher when I equip two swords, even after the 30% added chaos from Unholy Might and 4 power charges, which I don't have when I use both swords. Am I right in thinking this screen DPS is wrong? I have to about equally strong swords (one 230 pds, 8.1 crit and 1.3 aps and one 250 pds, 7.5 crit and 1.8 aps, both with ~20-30% crit multi), so I wonder.

It's one of the most similar games to Diablo 2. Yeah, you will have a rough time with the first 2-3 chars. All the different orbs are the currency, you should keep them all in case you don't know the value. You could check the value fairly easily though or just ask someone. Be careful to not get trolled though. | ||

When you have a Death's Hand equipved, however, you'll only attack with the sword. Your actual dps would be closer to what you see when equiping both swords + the unholy might buff on top of it. Thank you! I suspected that. | ||
