| Hi Blizz, I usually do not create forums topics, but this is one of the times where I feel it is necessary. For the past few months, since the latest patch, to play the game as a WW barb is more pain than fun. At first there were massive problems with lagging (while no indication of a lag in the bar was visible, it is always green and like 60ms latency) and rubberbanding that left my SC barb dead on the ground. Afaik there were a few hotfixes/small patches after 1.0.8 that improved this problem. Lately, there is less rubbernading/lag, but it still happens. I charge into big packs of mobs and WW through them. I do not see dmg-numbers following my patch through the pack; Rubberbanding, Dead. But almost all of the time the gameplay feels slowed down. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but 80+% of the time it feels slower than I am used to the gamplay before 1.0.8. You can actually see the character move slower, the spinning around while doing the WW animation is slower and the dmg-numbers that appear over the mobs that are affected by WW or tornados are less frequent. There are areas, often at the border of maps, where the gameplay is as fast as it should be, but I never found a repeatable pattern of where it is OK and where not. Overall the playing experience just annoys me more than it enjoys me. I assume this slowing down is some kind of fix for the original lag/rubberbanding from 1.0.8 and that Blizzard is not really sure what happened in 1.0.8 that produced these problems. I am myself in the IT business and I am partly a developer, therefore I know that it can happen that sometimes you just have no idea why a bug happens and also not know how to fix it. But, it has been a very long time since these problems started and I hope that Blizzard can and will fix this problem. | ||
