In that case you will still be able to get on Battle.net. Even if your speed is very poor, you will still be able to play will people on your network at very fast speeds. What happens when my internet is down? You will not be able to play multi player. What happens when we have lans that we cant get everyone onto an internet connection? Why can't you get them onto an internet connection? Because the internet is unreliable and every computer is different. If you have a LAN party of 15 people you honestly think they will all get connected without a hitch? Is Blizzard seriously this stupid? I'm baffled right now | ||

I sure hope they at least fix bnet 2.0 to allow more than one connection per IP onto the internet at once... if that isnt fixed then FML I've never had problems with multiple IPs connecting to Battle.net. | ||

In my last 3 places of residence I havent been able to connect to WC3 or sc with more than one computer per house. Its a pretty well documented problem, works for some people and doesnt work for a lot of others. | ||

Edit: To make it a longer post... What I mean is that gathering with friends is more fun than just staying in front of the screen and playing all day long like a game bot. Heroes 3 can be played on the internet but has always been more fun with hot seat. Same thing goes for starcraft lan parties. Its not the game that makes the fun, its friends. | ||

Also, being connected to the internet can cause problems of its own. One more thing to make your computer crash -_- | ||

And yes you do get 0 ping to each other if you do. | ||

Its frustrating. Getting a game going can take a very long time when on Lan it would be done in 10 seconds. On June 29 2009 19:54 SearingShadow wrote:What happens when my internet is down?

Why can't you get them onto an internet connection? How many lans have you been to? Its a problem we encounter EVERY time. Generally due to not having the appropriate hardware to get everyone on the net. The bottom line is that paying customers are going to be screwed over so blizzard can make it slightly harder for the non-paying customers. And everyone already knows that removing LAN is going to do fuck all to reduce pirating of this game. What if im on a plane with a buddy and we wanna play starcraft 2 on our laptops to kill the time? | ||

Even if the connection disconnects it will not affect the game. Pretty sure an internet connection can't crash a computer. | ||

I do something wrong by connecting 2 computers to the internet and then trying to connect to battle.net. There really isnt much that you can screw up. I know of more people who have problems with multiple accounts on one IP address than I know who have no problem. I am glad it works for you. If you have the magic answer onto how its my fault that it doesnt work then please, feel free to share it. Until then, Starcraft 2 not having LAN makes playing with friends a nightmare. I really dont see the point. | ||

Ive actually had the same problem, I think it ended up being something with the modem as it went away when we got a new one. Ive also had a problem where people cannot join my games on battlenet. Not a problem when your playing via LAN. | ||

Not a problem when your playing via LAN. Yeah, I've had 3 different modems, 2 different internet providers, and 3 different routers and have always had the same problem. Thankfully at my new place I can have people join my games (never could before) so thats a good change I suppose. I just dont see why they'd expect e-sports events to have all their computers connected to the internet. That just seems like it would cause a world of pain considering something as small as a mouse, keyboard, headphones, LAN, monitor etc etc etc can cause delays. | ||

And if your in a LAN cafe and you want to throw out an open invitation for anyone whos on the LAN with you to play a game of starcraft 2. How do you go about doing this using Bnet? With LAN its as simple as going to the lan lobby and making a game. | ||

Hopefully Blizzard adds the ability to filter games so that you can only see games hosted by people on your network. | ||
