Default 56K users should have their own dam battle net.



Im sick and tired of people who cant afford a better computer and/or
connection lagging up my game. After a long day all u wanna do is
chill out and play a game of starcraft and not worry about shit for
the next fifteen minutes. Then you got some fucknut (that still shows
two bars of green) joining a game that will lag your game so bad that
it's not even worth playing.
Some people say it's my own computer and it's connection but no.
Computers with an AMD XP 2.3GHZ processor with 512 MB of ram and cable
connection that uploads @ 45kbps and downs @ 350kbps, can play
starcraft with no other net apps running.
I swear to god if had the power i would send my own soilders to
evey ones house with a 56k modem and burn their whole family.
These inferior pieces of crap from the orc underworld all need to
either get off their asses, give the welfare a break, and buy some
equipment. One day there will be a rule: Bad ping, no play. People
will have to download a 5 mb file under a certain time in order to
play with the real internet users. All the riff-raff users (56Gay
users) will have their own dam net where there's so much lag even the
chatting will be delayed.

56K is more than adequate for playing on battle.net. The real hassle
is the mad multitaskers who insist on downloading 20 gigs of pr0n and
defragmenting a hard drive while playing.

I used to play on Battlenet with 56K and it was fine, you only really
use 3-4KB/s up and down anyway, so bandwidth should not be a problem,
unless it's a *really* heavy game, but then you are going to have more
of a problem with lag than bandwidth. BTW, my computer is a K6-III 400
and it runs Starcraft perfectly. I have seen it run smoother on other
machines, but it is not absolutely necessary. I am not on welfare.

I often play 3v3 with a friend who has an 'average' rated ISP (i.e. BT
Internet (this is teh UK)) and he has a better connection that people
with usb dsl modems often. People using V.90 on decent equipment
(meaning equipment sufficient to support V.90) also get good pings,
sometimes down to about 150ms which is half decent. I always got
better than 180ms when I used dial up.

On the subject of 'having ones own damn battlenet' maybe you could
have supported the bnetd project when they were being destroyed by
Vivendi. Then you could have run your own, and invited whosoever you
pleased.

I've been on 56k since the first day StarCraft is released. Never lag, except
if there was an issue with ISP. If that happens, I would disconnect and go to
bed.

I knew that would happen. I meant to back up some of your points, I
think I forgot.

This has got to be one of the stupidest most arrogant things Ive ever read.
And the fact that it comes from a dork makes it laughable...
