The server issues have been fewer and fewer over the years so no, lag is not likely to be on their end. You might not believe it because you don't want it to be true but it's a documented fact. If your server does have issues though, there are plenty of other servers so it's still in your hands.

As for 'unplayable content', I'm not talking about the league mechanic itself. I'm talking about game issues that cause errors, crashes and stutter. All of these can usually be avoided at league start by updating drivers and reading up on known issues such as software conflicts.

But if we're going to talk about synthesis, let's do it. I remember quite clearly that synthesis had 2 major issues on release. The first was a common crash while running any synthesis instance, which was fixed pretty quickly. The second was the 'islands' spawning in locations that prevented you from accessing them or other islands nearby. This was also fixed but it took quite a while.
On top of this, the whole crafting idea was extremely difficult to work with and the spreadsheet required to understand your potential outcomes made this unusable junk to most players.
After fixing most issues, Chris and the team posted an apology and has always spoken of how this was an example of how they needed to be better at managing their time when it came to ambitious league content.
They learnt a lot from this and other leagues with early issues and I really don't think you appreciate how far the game has come since synthesis.

How about some support for the good content that they've been adding that has had NO issues on release such as Maven? It has good QoL, no crashing, well made boss fight. It's easy to forget the good when you're focusing on the bad.

Sorry but no, this is totally wrong. All my drivers are up to date and the game has horrendous performance since 3.13


How can I focus on Maven when the game is so laggy/unplayable by act 6 that I can’t even play through that to reach the Maven? Sorry but you’re defending the worst ever designed ARPG as far as performance goes. Look, I run the game at 800x600 resolution with every setting as low as possible and it still drops to 5FPS. It doesn’t even matter what PC you use, some people have the same set ups as others and have terrible performance while the other person has great performance. The game is a mess. Stop defending “good content” like the Maven. No one cares about new content if you can’t even enjoy the regular content.

So are you going to fix any of the horrendous performance issues that have been around since 3.13


The game is unplayable.

Also, are you going to ever release the finished client for macOS or is it going to stay in beta forever? You basically bait and switched all macOS users.. I bought some stash space and paid around $40 worth in your store all to find out that the game is unplayable past act 5 because of the bad performance.

Patch 3.14 should not add any content until the performance is fixed. You’ve lost a lot of players with 3.13 and you’re not going to regain any for long if you don’t fix this broken game.
