Diablo 3 Beta HIT LAG, it's TERRIBLE :(

The maximum hit range was lower in D2, but this issue was very much present. I think the range was somewhat larger than what the video shows, but the Sorc wasn't fast enough to show it.

That doesn't look like the same thing at all to me. The Sorc was totally in the range of the attack as she wasn't moving away from the monster, only to the side of it.

It doesn't matter in what direction you move in relation to the enemy. After the animation started the attack will land in a circle around the monster, just like in D3. I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't record a video of this in D2 for you, but you can try it yourself if you still have D2 installed. Over the years I died with many Barbs because of this, when I tried to run around the Doom Lords in Act 5 (the dual-wielding minotaurs with Frenzy).

I also recorded a another video of this when I was testing the range with Vault. You can find it here if you want to watch it: http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s...t=#post8267691

Whay would a Diablo game be without lag?

[HardRock]

Impossible, since D3 is online only.

However, this isn't lag. It's a fully intentional game mechanic.

(i'm not saying torchlight is better then diablo 3, i'm just pointing out how much i dislike hit lag in any game. it's possible that hit lag is a part of all games with multiplayer code, seeing as torchlight has ZERO HIT LAG and it has no multiplayer code)

I only know 1 game that has this problem when playing single player and it's called Sucked 2.... I mean Sacred 2.

Whenever I get hit by a long range melee attack it makes me feel like I'm lagging.

This video is terrible and biased. Why? Because instead of demonstrating this with a normal Diablo 3 beta monster, he chose the one with the slowest attack animation by far, and the monster who has a weird AI due to the "big-hit" it can do (which is avoidable).

Sorry but videos like this make me very angry, because they are nothing but smokescreens and very misleading.

[HardRock]

I agree. That's why I said that the Sorc wasn't fast enough to show off the the maximum hit range in D2 very well. The range is longer than what's visible in the video. I couldn't find a better example than this though.

Still, the important thing is that even that video establishes that this feature was present in D2 as well. I posted a video in the thread I linked to that I think demonstrates the hit range in D3 much better.

DUDEs, you expect us to read all that.

Even if it only happened with the grotesques (which it doesn't) it wouldn't be acceptable. You should get angry at the game, not the video.
