Will GGG reply? Serious issues going on.

Man I'll tell ya, I had a hell of a time trying to play with a friend last night (sunday). Constantly being removed from the party... Blue screen errors (seemingly random)... Fps loss on a scale that directly effects game play mechanics.

Both of us were experiencing these things even though we are using ps4pro consoles and high end wired internet connections with Cat7 cables.

I've read about disabling HDCP in the ps4 settings. It honestly has made no difference. I've also read about turning off the sound effects, ambient sounds, music and dialogue. That did seem to help a TINY bit with the fps loss while mapping. But dude, I like hearing the cyclone critical strikes and monster deaths.

Can we get some sort of official response? We all love this game and want to help make it even better.

E/

Will we need to wait for the next gen console to get the expected performance?

Will we get graphics settings in the mean time?

Will reinstalling the game actually help anything?

Is playstation network the prime culprit for alot of our issues?

Isn't it true that all of the cosmetics actually make the performance worse?

Have you tried sitting your PS4 vertically? I also found connecting the controller via the USB cable and wrapping it up with insulation tape made a big difference.
And one last tip is to close your eyes and hold your breath while the map is in the load screen, seems to net you an extra 4-5 fps. And seriously, if you are not doing these things, you have no one else to blame but yourself, perhaps it's time you did some research before complaining?!?

Seriously though, I feel your pain. I only play standard now as a filthy casual, and will continue to do so until there is a significant improvement in performance and stability. Sadly, that may mean waiting until Diablo 4 drops.

Diablo 4 I expect will be a dumbed down version of diablo 2. Diablo 3 was kind of a joke to most of us. I bought diablo 3 and played it for a week straight until I was given hacked items. When I realized just how prevolent the cheating was I completely lost interest.

I have never seen nor heard of any kind of modded items in poe. Durring synthesis I saw pay sites advertising currency through the trade center. They'd put a very low price tag on a generally desirable item or stack of currency. Then, with the rejection message they'll give you the address and current dollar price for exalts.

That really rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, I grinded it out with my witch (being brand new to the game) and ended up with 50 exalts and high end es gear. Bought every stash tab available at the time. Playing poe on ps4 feels so much more legit bro!

Anyway... Path of exile feels arcane, dark, challenging and best of all ... Alot like diablo 2. The massive skill tree, huge array of skill gems, item aquisition, and the all out feeling of "holy shit I found something good" make it my favorite game ever.

I cant say much about cheating and modded items because i didnt care about those things while i was playing D3. We will have to see about that.

Anyway Diablo 4 will be, even if it is a dumbed down version of D2, way more smooth on console than PoE. Combat will feel a lot more satisfying. It will feel like a game that is perfectly fit for console. (unlike PoE, at least in its current state)

A lot of people would also like to play a more accesible hack&slay game than PoE. Not everyone enjoys the (sometimes overcomplicated) complexity of it and is willing to read hundreds of wiki/reddit pages to understand certain game mechanics.

Balancing D4, making it more complex than D3 but less than PoE wont be easy though.

Aesthetic wise Diablo 4 looks great to me.
It looks darker and more "goreish" than PoE, which with its heralds, colorful mtx etc... sometimes even looks like D3. I also prefer the Diablo lore.

I think diablo 3 was really bad. Even though I only played it 2 weeks tops, from what I've read about there being an auction house where you can just straight up buy the best items... It's Ridiculous. The legendary drop rate was super high, the crafting system felt very weak and the radial UI drove me nuts.

The items in d3 had huge numbers idicative of the lack of complex. Strength, dexterity and intelligence had no surmountable use for your character. I mean, I bet I can find a free mobile game with more complicated character sheets.

Path of exile's constant flow of new content (for free) is their most valuable attribute. And as a result of that, the sometimes overwhelming depth of the game as a whole. Blizzard will never ever do that.

Ok so id like go into something else here. First I think the is a relavant comparison: diablo 3 is to path of exile as call of duty is to the battlefield franchise. Let me explain, booger faced kids saying racist stupid shit into the Mic or... A mature audience with competetive mind sets and a sense of community. You choose.

Diablo 4 looks pretty cool and diablo 2 was the best but it is an old game bro. Just remaster it and then make a new game. Instead they're gonna murder it with bland items attack/defense.

GGG! We need the desync and fps loss on console to go away or you'll see the entire fan base on ps4 giving up on it.

I also like the fact that any sort of sale of the items in path of exile outside of the game currency is not allowed. Sorry for the double post O.O

You have your brain damaged if you compare offline game(diablo 3 ps4) to multiplayer poe where save is on server.

I take it you aren't much of a shooter player. If anything you'll find way more obnoxious kids on Battlefield because they think of it as a more mature game. I actually had to do mute all in that game after years of listening to children scream every time someone killed them.

In CoD you'll just occasionally get some douchebag blaming everything on the team, or some guy just trolling and bashing on everyone for the fuck of it.

I don't know about Infinity Ward CoDs though, I haven't really played them since MW3. On the Treyarch ones though that's definitely not the case.

I've been with the battlefield franchise since bf4 on ps3. If anyone reading this wants to squad up on bfv just hit me up psn: DjOrchard

Since bfv launch I've only encountered one person under the age of 18. Cod is full of little kids. There's really no debate here.

You also like that any sort of sale of PoE items outside of the items in path of exile outside of the game currency is not allowed.

You saw pay sites advertising Currency?

Anyway. You want Items and Currency delivered to you in-game paid from outside Path of Exile? Take a look at Ebay. Page upon page upon page upon...

My guess this isn´t allowed, but what can one do??
