delay when i join games

Hi lately i have huge delays when joining/creating games. any ideas what i can do to fix this? i remember it was quicker when i last played 1 year ago (already having diablo 2 on my SD)

/e i noticed that the delays mostly appear when i join games. i can create games just fine most of the time

I am have the same problen with stings mh.

Creating game is fast. But when i am trying to join, it has seconds 20+ delay
sometimes joining game is very fast. But we don't need to use any MH or AutoTele xD

In your case the problem was different: It seems that the russian government banned multiple international IP addresses as per this wiki article and it appears one of our game servers is on the restriction list therefore when you are about to be assigned to that particular game server either by creating or by joining a game you will get timed out since your internet provider is blocking the connection.
A solution has been found for this already by removing that particular restricted game server and it's attached IP address from the list for all russian players so you should be good now.

 

Create 2 sorcs. My friend created a 10 of them to experiment (not kidding). All nova sorcs specifically for countess. Results haven't come in yet, tho.

He found he can do 2 Countess runs with 2 sorcs simultaneously about 2 minutes faster than with one. With 3 even more faster.

As you use autotele with one, make a new game with the second one. While the game creates, you'rewabout half way or more toward the Countess. Sometimes even there.

Being that getting items here is super easy, making two battle-able sorcs is super easy. And countess sorcs even easier.

Edit: P.S. Friend uses BH and I use Sting. We have same thing happening. Joining game takes even longer than creating one. As we use 8 player private games with mules, we tend to heavily strategize over the mic the actions we do. Like flying while last mules are joining and such.
