well, don't some kiddies look like complete dickheads when they crash onto battle.net and try to trash a game using modified/hacked games - only to get completely mashed by the secondary hero of one of the four players.
myself, i'm not convinced that battle.net is a viable option for modem users - but them i'm not exactly the most competent of warcraft players either :)
and i think my ego probably handles defeat at the hands of my pc better than getting mashed by netlag and some random pseudonymous human being. i don't even know the name of the person who wiped me off battle.net in less than four minutes! i'd just got my second grunt made and he came over with a hero plus army of undead to wreak oblivion! damn. at least it was just a game :) might stick to playing at home ...

Mood::

quixotic

Music:: rammstein - du hast

Eh, I used to play Diablo on battle.net on a modem all the time; it was just fine. I did prefer playing straight tcp/ip games with trusted friends, though, instead -- I could use my single-player characters that I'd built-up, then.

It was fine? In which parallel universe were you residing when we used to try and play on battle.net? ;)

Once we were connected, there usually wasn't a problem. It's not like the game was laggy or that I had a significant advantage when I moved to DSL -- both ways worked fine... it was just the "getting connected" that was the problem, as far as I remember. :shrug:
