I don't think I've heard of lionheart, and it's been ages since I've even seen a smoke. :tongue:

I haven't really had any particular issues with dropping/interruptions, but I did get a rollback today. I left the game while the ping and everything was still fine. I had no idea it would happen, but during the next game I joined a few hours later, I found out that I still had some items that I had sold in the previous game. I had gambled about a million, too, and the amulet I kept from that was no longer with me(+3 offensive, 10% fcr...is this a keeper even though it's not combat?).

ya, im pretty sure they did something with their servers. its the only way to fix it without us downloading a patch. im guessing they set it so that the server drops the game if there is any threat of it being desynched, or something of that manner. since its with their servers i dont think that it would only be on one realm. my friends have all been cheering my friends list up with the news about the dupe thingy being fixed(west) so im pretty sure its not just europe.
sorry if i just repeated any information, im just about to go to bed and im too lazy to read through the 7 pages..

 

[Merick1]

Wow, 7 pages? I'm just starting the second.
And also, regarding all this talk about ruststorm: AFAIK Blizz has never used the words "active ruststorm" or "passive ruststorm" themselves. Also AFAIK the only mass deletion of items came with 1.10.

 

[ashtonkutcher]

is there a high likelihood of a full ruststorm coming? if so i'd better start stocking up on legits :shocked:

 

[tehblanx]

i can confirm that soloing cows in 8player is almost impossible now. I get kicked from 95% of my games.

edit: this is on useast

Late last night was the first time I didn't get major lag when playing on Europe. It was close midnight on the east coast, so most of Europe was still asleep. Maybe not having so many people on that server helped the lag for me. :tongue:

 

[MuffinMan]

Interresting.. loosing connection on about 50% of every baalrun I do? Anyone else having problems? Also, Im packed with CTC items and strafing FAST, might this have something to do with it?

 

[Road Ratt]

I got ci'ed in 6 baal runs the first day then temp. banned, yesterday only 4 times with no ban, today not once so far. My ping has been awesome with very little lag at all, it's been months since I've seen such a good ping. rop:

 

[xNamastex]

It has been a real pleasure to play last 2 days. I can teleport properly, I dont lag die, I can run more than 1 boss/key holder per game and most importantly I can make games without FTJ and CI.

The only difference I've really noticed so far is I'm not getting tagged or failing to join anything. Uber leveling still works, I can spam spells all I want or lightning fury with tons of ctc things going off and the game doesn't drop. The only way the game has dropped is if I fill the screen with bone walls and cast poison nova.

 

[ModeratelyConfused]

It seems the 'fix' for a large group of people doing baal runs is ditching the torches into the stash.

 

[tehblanx]

i will have to try cowing without a torch.. shame though =/

Same with me. I have tried cowing, strafing, chaosing with multiple CTC and did not receive the C/I other folks have. Additionally, I baaled in public games and nothing happened. However, other folks have had the C/I misfortune.

Heh, maybe the pubs are right now - Meteor, Summons, etc DO lag

 

[RequiemDeath]

I tried my butt off to get a game to lag out and drop me... It didn't work... The game plodded along just fine... Spammed bone wall, bone prison, CE, meteor, life tap, frozen armor, tele, etc... The only time my ping got above 300 was just in normal play, and that may be from my wireless connection... By far the best DII experience in ages... I really hope they reset this ladder... This was playing alone BTW... I'll try a Baal run later or something...

Yeah, seems that way. I was lagging bad on Europe when friend was spamming tornadoes. As soon as he stopped, the lag went away...

 

[AnimeCraze]

Well, I just killed meph with a druid with feral rage, and I got CI by Meph's death animation. It could just be coincidence, but who knows?

 

[Lanceor]

Reporting from the Asia realms, I have not had a CI in the last 24 hours, whereas previously the patch had a hair trigger response.

Either they have fine tuned the patch to provide an optimal balance (hopefully), or have rolled back the patch (hopefully not).

 

[mephiztophelez]

my ping from rural Australia to USWest has always been in the 250-300 range as 'standard', with regular spikes from 1k-6k.

since the serverside update, ping has dropped to ~200'ish, BUT: my framerates and 'general cursor responsivness levels' have SKYROCKETED. the game is much easier to play & duel with, even with a 200 ping! ping still spikes occasionally, but nowhere near as bad or for as long as previously.
