[Megathread] Path of Exile

[Newbryn]

I'm in thought I wasn't gonna get on for a while was 1098 in que

[Azuri]

Game on, I'm in and no error 37!

nice one!! I'm logging just now.

[Fencers]

Also I think my new build is gonna be insane late game.


Dual totem, remote mine Shadow with heavy life and armor and insane mana pool/regenation. All the passives I need to make it work are along other nodes I use naturally anyway.

Basically, it's an Engineer from Guild Wars 2 or something like a turret Demon Hunter in D3; turrets, flamethower and grenades everywhere~!

20%, 13-150 kb/s ... and i forgot to feed the kiwi ;/

by the way ... are the helmet/weapon effects from the store single-use or can i paste them on every new helmet/weapon i find ?

[Orange Joe]

I guess I got lucky a few ppl i've talked to in skype are saying that their download speed us up and down.


sux to be you!


People say internet is crap in Canada, I guess if you live in a igloo in some remote location I can understand that.

I've been jumping form 30kbs to 200kbs

[Lagwin]

I thought for a minute their web site was down....just took over a min to connect to the site, they are trying to add more capacity apparently

Right now I would rather have error 37 than these download speeds.

Right now I would rather have error 37 than these download speeds.

So you'd rather not be able to play (in this case, download), than be able to download it, albeit very slowly?

[Razael]

I'm still downloading. Yep.. 93% right now. Bah.

[Redblade]

Finished my DL and logged in straight away without any problems, so it might be slow but seems to be fine once you get it done.

I can't play right now. With error 37 it only affected a few. These download speeds seem to be affecting the majority.



I want to clear up i'm not trying to complain about these speeds. I'm not surprised it is happening.

[Razael]

Hmm now it seems stuck on "Checking Resources"

Edit: I'mmm in! So hyped! Here we go.

[Redblade]

That's a gross understatement.

[Orange Joe]

That's a gross understatement.

Maybe in terms of actual numbers, but when we get into %'s no it isn't.

[Edge-]

That's a gross understatement.

Also, you have to look at the difference in size between the companies. Blizzard has far more assets at its fingertips to allow them to have hardware, and backend systems in place to be able to handle those kinds of loads.

I don't know how playable it is once you do get in, but I know PoE has the queue going. I can only assume it's helping keep the actual game stable.

There's reasons that the Korean FTC required Blizzard to take returns from people, and this was one of them. It was actually a pretty major problem worldwide, hence why it was covered to death in the news.

[Creatinebrah]

I wonder why they don't put the patch on a torrent or have it on dropbox...

Can you show me they were forced? Last I checked on that story they told blizzard fix the issue or do refunds. I never seen they were forced to do them.


Btw that report only stated numbers in the HUNDREDS. That was a game that sold millions.


And we should probably stop going OT.

[Azuri]

The devs are tossing out some bandwidth that is going on right now. Instances servers are uploading 700mb a second (that's the back up since people are still patching) and 50TB per hour of traffic atm. The game is running smooth as crap and people are coming in droves.

[Razael]

Could do with a Ranged Shadow build if any1 knows one
