EPTNobody has got the right to hack sc2 and add a lan modus. Blizzard made it very clear that they didnt want to add this into the game so people should just deal with it.

It's the height of arrogance to think that someone disagreeing with you amounts to them being badly mannered. I guess that's just a language quirk of the starcraft community. | ||

We only want the most basic form of multiplayer functionality, but hey, I guess we are bad mannered for wanting that. | ||

As for the actual hack itself, Blizzard decided on not going for LAN, so that's it. Everyone now plays under the same conditions. If you are at a major event, you will have the same amount of lag as your opponent, so there is no bias to a certain player. And it prevents players from installing maphacks and whatnot on their own PC without getting caught by bnet eventually. Any previous game by Blizzard in the bnet 1.0 / LAN era was hacked to pieces. With all games being hosted on Bnet, they have been able to keep stuff amazingly clean. So I don't think piracy is the only reason it is Bnet only. | ||

It's the height of arrogance to think that someone disagreeing with you amounts to them being badly mannered. Oh, it has nothing to do with disagreeing with me. I would enjoy a lan mode as well, but still i dont think its right to force it by hacking the game. Haha, yes very, ''bm''. We only want the most basic form of multiplayer functionality, but hey, I guess we are bad mannered for wanting that. Well, you shouldnt get it unless blizzard adds it to the game. I want many things, like a new phone f.e. but I dont go out and rob a market to get it... | ||

Also this doesn't seem viable for tournament play because it's illegal and is a huge hassle to deal with. | ||

On a more serious note, it's only a question of time before someone releases a stable LAN hack for SC2. why? because it's retarded from a consumer point of view not to HAVE ONE! | ||

Bad comparison, because you already paid for the phone. A better comparison would be if your phone lack basic functionality like Root access. So you hack it to add the root access and allow more options. Not that has ever happened, oh wait... | ||

Because installing the hack doesn't allow you to play your legal copy online. Thanks but no thanks, there is NO reason why we should start using LAN if we can't even use our legal copies to play online. Your full copy of the game exists but you have to back up all your b.net settings in your documents and you can't play both games. Also this doesn't seem viable for tournament play because it's illegal and is a huge hassle to deal with. you can easily have 2 copies of sc2 installed. one for lan and one for online play. and yea. it's not suitable for tournament play because blizzard will sue any tournament that uses it. which will be depressing. because it means we will never see the highest level of play starcraft 2 has to offer for aslong as we are restricted to playing online. (and my SC2BW mod will be forever crippled by the latency) | ||

May I ask what I'm stealing for LAN functionality? What you just told me is a ridiculous comparison. | ||

(and my SC2BW mod will be forever crippled by the latency) From what I read, and I was reading a lot into the LAN hack, you can't play both games at the same time unless you actively backup your legal files in the documents area and replace the legal files with the hacked files every time you wish to play on lan. I downloaded all of the files and copied the instructions to a txt document so if I ever lose internet then I can play LAN but, is it really worth it? Perhaps for people who live in a team house and can practice with each other but it's not worth it for people like me who can only play SC2 online. When I build a 2nd backup computer then I will probably install the LAN hack but for now, doesn't seem worth it. | ||

We can hope right? But they're already under pressure whenever we see lag during MLG and even GSL. This has been an ongoing complaint from practically %100 of the community since day 1 but blizzard still hasn't added LAN. What makes you think MLG will start using LAN? What makes you think MLG will want to risk losing their blizzard license? SC2 is too much of a gold mine to simply let it go because they wanted a bit more reliability with their main game. Frankly? I never see this hack going anywhere because it can never be legal and it won't ever be backed by big LAN events. The only way LAN will be possible at major LANs is if blizzard does it or releases a special LAN mode for tournaments only. | ||
