FUCKING PEOPLE PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CANT FUCKING PLAY WITH EVERYONE IN THE FUCKING WORLD WITH FUCKING LAN LATENCY

IF I DISABLED LAN LATENCY ITS BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY LIVE 10000000000 KMS FROM MY PLACE AND NO AMMOUNT OF BANDWITH WILL STOP THE LAG.

Also, if the game says D+/C- me Z you terran I DONT WANT A D- PROTOSS or a C ZERG.

Fucking People

Yeah people that refuse to play a single game without LAN latency are kind of dicks, it's like going along the street with a guy with no legs in a wheelchair then complaining, when you arrive at some stairs, that you have to carry him.

And also I dunno what the deal is with people joining your game when they're a completely different rank from the one in the game name, it pisses me off.

I feel so dirty posting in caps. I'd edit, but that'd ruin the hilarity of my post (at least I think it's funny.)

EDIT: I'll contribute to the thread, I guess...

Anyway, I find it very frustrating that ICCup can't tell you whether or not LL is enabled until you're in game. I, for one, would prefer lan latency and changing the settings to High or Extra high (can barely notice the difference, only with mutas and reavers have I felt it) than to have no LL at all.

The only time I want lat is if it'll make nony vs f91 happen, or when I'm bounding =)

Well why play someone who doesn't have lan latency when you can just wait another 10 seconds and find someone who does? At least in the D/C ranks it's really easy to find games.
No I'm never serious.

I don't get this analogy at all. How does laddering on iccup compare to walking with a dude in a wheelchair..

uh no, not at all. i can choose who i want to play on iccup ladder. if i don't want to play someone who doesn't have lan latency, then why the hell does it matter? nothing even close to your analogy.

One of the main reasons why iccup is so great is cause of lan lat. Playing without just feels terrible and is really annoying for me. I understand though about how annoying it is when people join the game despite not being the rank you asked for

Caps lock is cruise control for cool.
Unfortunately you still need to steer with cruise control.

Also, I only play LL on iccup, why would I bother playing somebody without it (when i'm not used to it) when I could just remake and get a new player in 5 seconds. I find there is a noticable difference especially with M&M micro.

However I've been lagging on Iccup for most of last season + this season, so I just play poker now.

JUST MAKE A NO-LAN CLAN AND ALL YOU NO-LANNERS CAN PLAY TOGETHER.

THIS WAY WE LANNERS DON'T HAVE TO BE INCONVENIENCED BY YOU.

SO ANNOYING...
WE GOTTA LEAVE THE GAME, FIND A NEW ONE AND HOPE TO GOD IT'S NOT ANOTHER DOUCHE WHO DOESN'T HAVE LAN LATENCY.


EDIT:Fucking No Lan Douches

i agree with most of the people in this thread. lan latency in the competitive scene is standard now, and if you can't support it you just can't expect everyone to accommodate your lag. i simply refuse to play non-lan latency games because 1. it's unrealistic and bad practice 2. extremely frustrating and 3. it's so easy to leave and find a lan latency game in seconds.

at the very least keep lan latency on and set to extra high

How about putting no LAN latency in your game name or when you advertise for the game, that way I and everyone else won't have to waste our time joining/finding another game.

amazing rant , top notch. you should think about putting that into audio.

P.S. if you're wireless, try to go wired. that solved my Lan latency lags (even my non-lan latency lags)

i went wired and went from lagging at normal latency to being able to play every game lag free at LAN latency.

i got cables running in my house right accross the hall because i dont have a phone plug in my PC's room so i have to use long ass extensions. you gotta make sure you dont trip on those.

And i have to constantly plug and unplug my modem and all my setup shit because my dad wants to keep his modem in his room. so i can only go wired when he's away.

basically i go like this; dad leaves, i unplug everything upstairs in my dad's room, bring my stuff downstairs, where i live, and reinstall everything. when dad about to come back, me unplugging everything, and reinstalling everything upstairs.

its annoying but its worth it.

Bash.org quote poser. Teeheehee.

Anyways: To the OP
Okay, I agree that LAN latency may not do anything with certain connections, but why don't you use it with anyone that you CAN play LAN with? It makes the game so much smoother, more balanced, and it provides better game play.

Why do people no realize how much better LAN is compared to b.net? And if they do, then why don't they do a simple thing like downloading a program that takes 15 seconds to set up, and adding #LL to the end of their game name to accomplish it?
