FIX THE SERVERS

You should be embarrassed. In the ~20 years I've been gaming (on & off), I've never experienced consistent lag issues like this. Not even close.

Seems like you've never played Diablo 3 then. Same sht was happening there all the time when servers were overcrowded. And why? Because too many people kill too many mobs at once with too many skills/buffs/prebuffs/procs/lasting effects etc. And now we have POE1 league start. With 150 k zoomers. On same servers.

No, I didn't, but that's irrelevant.

The issues began before 0.2.1 was released. It has worsened progressively with each day, even though surely some people have gotten so frustrated with it that they've pulled the plug for now. So the new league has started for POE1 (again, well after the issues happened), so what?

This wasn't happening when POE2 launched (at least anywhere near this extent), nor for the drop of Dawn of the Hunt, when the player count was massively higher (particularly for the former, obviously). Were people not wrecking mobs with all the skills etc. back then? If there were, for example, 10x the number of players at launch, using/slaying only 10% of the skills etc./mobs back then, surely the effects would have been at least as bad as are being experienced now, per your logic?

That doesn't make sense. As for the servers being the same for 2 different games, well that doesn't seem very smart, although I'll concede there may be reasons for this given the current or intended interoperability? Regardless, if server load is an issue.... you get more servers/capacity. It's not rocket science. And it's not like they don't have the money....

Something happened around 3-4 weeks ago which really fucked shit up. But apparently it's just "DDOS", despite Jonathan saying that wasn't really an issue anymore in his recent interview with Tri - before he quickly changed the subject (from lag etc.), which Tri (simp) let slide. I still think they changed their server hosting and/or dialled down their capacity, given their massively declining user base, and fucked up the math and estimates for the near future. It wouldn't be the first time they underestimated something they really shouldn't have in the 7 months I've been playing. But it might be something else. I'd bet my computer it ain't "DDOS".

Hopefully now that they've finally (briefly) addressed the "elephant in the room", they'll fix whatever the issue(s) actually is/are without further undue delay.

+1!!!! pls!!!

If it is DDOS they have viable proof and reports to show for it. I don't think I or many people are that silly to think a DDOS went on for an entire month+ and slowly got WORSE every day. Not how that works at all.

Sorry but this ridiculous now, I am running out of T15 maps due to losing all due to constant random disconnect. Game is unplayable. Do you plan to fix it? Compensate players for lost time, loot, maps... ??? Hello ???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aaand another 3 divinies down the drain because of DC. i dont know but i am stubborn, but i am surley running out of currency. lost tens of divines due to DC. but looks like im just too stupid and keep playing

Servers are being weird today. Lost a few maps, few logbooks and what not... ROFL

That's literally how DDOSing works if you configure it that way.

Well ... It's official :S
Sadly, the game is now literally unplayable.
Tried several EU servers. Latency constantly going anywhere between 200+ to 3000+. Had to log off.
Just impossible to do anything now.
Can we PLEASE get some sort of update on what's going on lately ?

GGG pretends nothing is happening, so no

It was. You just forgot.
Servers can't do that much calculations at once. Game mechanics is to blame. Exactly as in D3 case (though there it was also worsened by huge damage/hp numbers - billions upon billions - thx to stupid blizz devs who said "players like big numbers"). Ofc game will run smoothly if they had like 1 server for 1 player but obviously they won't rent that many servers.

Solution for POE2: get rid of 1000 mobs on the screen, make game more tactical, and run the game on separate, new servers.

No ofc. DDos is insanely expensive to ruin servers that are supposed to host hundreds of thousands of active users. No competing company will ever do that, let alone some revengeful players. But wait a second... what if Elon Musk... no, no no, that can't be it ))
