Does the game decide between Predictive & Lockstep based on Gateway ping before entering the game or does it switch in-game depending on ping / network response? Auto chooses between lockstep and predictive WHEN YOU LOG IN based on the number that your ping is. The game is incapable of changing sync modes without logging out then back in afaik. Thus, when you select auto and log in, in your options it will tell you what sync you are using. Note that any lag or spikes using Lockstep are STILL THERE in predictive, you just don't see them. Hence desync and deaths. Even on 300 ping i'd never use predictive in HC. That said, I have no idea what actually killed you (desync or stun). In other news I ran my first HC maps ever last night (scrubcore player here). Flame totem may be boring and obnoxious but never let anybody tell you that it isn't easy, cheap and strong too. I'm level 68, 4.6k hp 5.5k dps per totem (x2), blood magic with plenty of regen and cap resists, all with relatively shit gear. I'm considering grabbing some MF gear, not sure if it's worth it or not. How come aurseize are so wildly expensive did their droprate get nerfed? | ||

I will say that it kinda ruins my sc motivation, but nothing is as bad as levelling a char through the same content 3 times just to get to maps again after dying lol. I level a new char roughly once every 3-4 months (aka once per league) and thats already more than enough of the levelling. | ||

I used to get mega salty re-leveling in PoE around act 2 cruel and just wanted the torture to be over! I'm excited to level this league though since I didn't play the Awakening Beta so all of act 4 will be new for me and all of the QOL improvements should be cool. | ||

It helps that a4 merci is pretty damn optional (although there's a skill point quest I guess) because I don't wanna run that shit again XD. | ||

I'm playing solo and got up to some 76/77 maps and used Chisel, Alch/Chaos and Vaal Orbs on them to get the most out of them, but after running 4 of those, I'm down to only 74 maps again. Just bad luck or am I missing something? | ||

It's the same except for exp gain. If you run all the lower level maps while you're still lower level you end up losing less experience. Since most builds work well before the 80s or 90s how much merit this has depends a lot on what you want to accomplish in the game. | ||
