Battle Net sucks, why won't blizzard improve it ?
BGHman
wait for 3 mins or 5 mins after you join a game that doesn't work. Anyone
agree ? The only way you could cancel the game you wanted to join was by
ctrl alt delete, or reset button on your computer.

I agree. I'm a Mac user, but this has still happened to me several times
and it is incredibly annoying. I have to force-quit, and that always
takes some time to do. Please Blizzard, do something!

I hear ya man. It's takes my computer (PII-400, 56k modem, 128mgs RAM) a
good 5 minutes to find the "Fastest Battle.net Server". Then an additional 2
minutes to log onto B.net. There's like an average of 32,000 people on
B.net! They could easily fix this by making more servers. They definitely
have the dough to do it.

Well, if you really don't like it stop paying for it. Oh yeah, its free.
Face it, B.net is coming out of their own pocket; they have no obligation to
make a perfect multiplayer network. Personally, I hope that their network
code is improved in the upcoming patches and sequels, but theirs no point in
complaining about something for nothing.

some sort of hatred toward the battle.net is a little cautioning for
blizzard? I mean I would be worried if I worked for blizzard. When I am in
Tech forum of blizzard web site, there are so many posts about how
battle.net really isn't up to the par. I mean if blizzard made a commitment
to having such a network, you would think they do something to keep it in
good shape. Or at least make some announcements about what the problems are
and what they are doing about it, that sorta thing. Also, there are many
people without any problems at all.. I don't know...

aren't going to get good results because they have to go all the way across
the Atlantic. A lot of people don't have a problem which suggests that the
problem is there's more than b.net's. If you play in a game where everybody
has good connections you can get a lag free game.

Except from 5 to 8 PM when my ISP is slow and overloaded with users, I
have no complaints at all about B.Net. If you're looking for an alternative,
try the FSGS... Not as many people but just as much BGH!

also server connections!!! I don't know how many frikkin' times I'd want to
play with my friends and we wouldn't be able to see or talk to each other
even though we're all on b.net. Even though blizzard decided to make a cheap
buck by selling server space to Mindspring or Exodus or Global somthing, its
worth $hit if they aren't connected together. Also, god knows how many times
I'd be kicking ass and I get the friggin "Your connection to battle.net has
been lost". Finally, b.net does need new servers, weekends are racking up
43000+ users and its not getting any faster

To all:
The green-yellow-red indicators that you see while in battle.net chat
channels are derived from ping times, which aren't affected by the speed of
your connection (well, not appreciably affected, anyway). The question that
you should be asking yourself is, 'Do I keep lagging out of the games?'
After all, do you care more about what color you've got, or how well the
game runs? I am currently connecting to the Internet via my own proxy
server over a 56K modem (50,600bps connection, every time) so that my whole
home network has access. Because of the proxy server, I am always 6r in
chat rooms, but when I get into the games I'm 1g at the worst (before it
starts) and never lag out of a game in progress.
Ping time is a measure of how long it takes a packet to travel from you to a
certain address (or vice-versa, or both ways, depending on implementation),
including all the stops, twists and turns it has to make in between. The
speed of your connection won't affect that, most of the delay is in passing
packets from one communications line to another (like inside a router, hub
or server or something). Most proxy servers usually don't pass pings around
very fast. Ping time is basically a measure of how far away you are. You
can use it to gauge network congestion only if you have enough data about
'normal' ping delays.
We all keep seeing people in here, and elsewhere, complain about the
performance of battle.net. I don't know how many users Blizzard designed
battle.net to be able to support simultaneously, but any network or network
based service is going to bog down if you start getting more users than you
can handle (duh, I know). I make my living as a computer/network/security
expert, and I know that even the fastest, best designed systems are going to
crawl if you don't have the resources to handle all the people trying to use
it. Not that I'm saying that Blizzard hasn't got sufficient capacity for
everyone. I simply don't know either way. I don't work for them.
I'd like to know what the hell you are talking about when you say you have a
30 something DSL connection. Also, there is no such thing as a 25MB
(megabyte) ADSL connection. With ADSL the max speed is either 1.544Mbps
(megabits, notice the small-b) upstream and downstream (also called
symmetrical) or 1Mbps upstream (from you to the world) and either 7- or
8Mbps downstream (from the world to you). I think what you meant was that
the ADSL connection is 256Kbps (256,000 bits per second, of course) both
ways, which is the most common minimum speed for an ADSL installation. If
you really have a 25MB DSL connection, then you are using something that
hasn't been invented yet. The fastest connection currently under
development is VHDSL at approx. 31Mbps, about 7 time slower than what you're
claiming. Just trying to clear up some of the confusion over DSL.
I've heard several people complain about the Mindspring b.net server, but I
don't know anything to argue either way. Sorry I can't help there.
I would like to see a cancel button when I'm between telling it to join a
game and I actually get in. I did have to use the 'ye-olde-reset-switch'
method once many months ago. Wasn't happy about that.
Anyone else see this: when I'm waiting for battle.net to connect, if I
click cancel I go back to the multi-player game type selection screen, but
if I press the ESC key, it closes SC/BW altogether.
Happy hunting!

Yes, this is correct. But even though my ping is usually red, I lag out
of games more often than I should be. What I assume, is that after you
start thegame you ARE STILL CONNECTED AND COOMMUNICATING WITH BATTLE.NET
THROUGHOUT the entire game. If I end up with a 6red and go and play
agaem and we all have 1green in the game, chances are, I'll be either be
disconnected from Battle.Net, or the game.

>a t3 line, and i still get 5 or 6 red
Lag is messurment of how long it takes for a signal to travell to
another computer and back, that has generally nothing to do with how
much bandwidth you have. Thus a 28.8 modem woud get more or less the
same ping time as whatever t3 line or whatever you happens to be
connected too.
A normal modem game is more than capable of sending and recieving all
needed data in SC. What can be true though, is that the ISP could have
heavier load on their server that handles modem connection than one
that has cable connection or if one sits directly on the net, that can
cause extra lag, but as always, the ISP and the net it self is the
main cause of lag.

TCP/IP version like they did for the Mac version of Warcraft. Then at
least when bnet was ****ed we could play on the internet without using
KALI.

forced to play on b.net. Blizzard wants you to think that their doing you a
big favor by providing you with a pour service but in fact their just
laughing their asses off at you. If blizzard had a tcp/ip version, it'll be
fine, but they don't.

Bnet is *FREE*
I connect daily, rarely have a single problem with it. Of course, I
have a kick ass $20.00/month ISP (you get what you pay for), a nice
PII machine, and a reliable phone line.
Try heat, or Gamezone if you're so CHEAP to not wanna pay 20 lousy
bucks for a LIFETIME of playing on Kali.
One benefit of Kali, the people you'll play there are generally more
mature, have much better attitudes, and are looking for no frills 1v1
games, no BGH channels, no 7v1 comp stomp crap, the competition is
generally better.

This so claimed cool file is what fucks up BATTLE.net.
I talked to BLIZZARD one on one and that's what the tech at bnet told me. He
also states that this program causes NETSPLITS similair to IRC's efnet
netsplits. Well hope you get it now.
