Chill (1:38 July 05 KST): Discussing the cracked Bnet2 is acceptable in this thread.
DO NOT post any links to websites explaining how to install / use the crack.
DO NOT explain in your post how to install / use the crack.
Thank you. |
MOD EDIT: Can't have links to this, sorry.
This is not "LAN mode". It is a crack that runs SC2 through a custom Bnet server which you can run on your local PC. This means instead of connecting and routing all game traffic through official Bnet servers, you connect to a local, custom server on your (or your opponent's) PC and route traffic through that.
It is more comparable to bnetd/Iccup than LAN.
Any links to the actual crack or other forms of advertising (guides how to install / run it etc) are not allowed on TL. Thanks.
seems to be a mod made by Chinese to support LAN for SC2.
Heard of yet? Opinons?
For me, a big Yay !

They're going to get sued and shut down.
There's no way this will be used in any sort of mainstream/productive manner, given how involved Blizzard is with all the major SC2 tournaments and lans.
The only way I can see LAN in SC2 is if Blizzard themselves implemented it.

Can anyone click the link, pls. I am scared :/
|
I really doubt this will go far as blizzard's sc2 sale will go down a lot if it does

As far as I know, TL policy is that we can't support this and will actively close / remove links. Another mod can feel free to correct me.

While this is a good thing for the community.. I dont think Blizzard will have any part of it
|
I wouldn't be surprised to see this crop up at sc2 events in the future but done on a huge hush hush basis.

Great, this means the scene will grow more in poorer countries! It's a shame it will probably not mean LAN at tournaments 
Maybe blizz will support this after both expansion are out...
|
What would change if there was indeed a working LAN hack? A bit more piracy perhaps. Tournaments can't use it anyway or they'd get their asses sued. LAN should have been in the game in the first place, but hacking it in doesn't help.

This will never be implemented in ANY even remotely big live tournament as long as its not Blizzard approveed .Blizzard would flip out guaranteed and no reputable tournament would risk it.
|
Blizzard Lan would only be implemented months after both expansions are out, and it might not even be public ie just for tournaments.

First reply hit the nail on the head. No major tournament would be able to use LAN and no minor tournaments will have the players together anyways. As long as Blizzard is remotely involved in the scene, they wont allow this to gain a foothold anywhere they can prevent it.

Hacking it in successfully might force blizzard to add lan, becuase I'm guessing if you know how to torrent you'll know how to make this work. I'm guessing Blizzards strategy will have been to either wait for something like this to become popular or wait until Legacy of the Void sales dwindle completely and then add lan to "help E-Sports". I remember hearing about cracked lan quite awhile ago although it might have not been very stable or just completely bollocks.
The optimist in me can hope only good can come from this. The pessimist in me thinks nothing will change.
