NO LAN - What about 3rd World Tournaments?

I live in México and i've won a couple WCG torunaments for WC3 here, there are ALLWAYS, hardwares and patching issues, and now we'll have to deal with the internet?

What about 3rd world countrys that may, or may not have internet access for the tournaments?, its easier for the people organizing WCG to just exclude SC2 from their game list, than to try to adrees and fix this issue, which is what they do most of the time...

Heck, we've even had to play Wc3 and SC tournaments in a frikking trailer FFS, how are they gonna put internet there other than satellital?

I Understand Blizzard want to fix piracy, but in the end the quality of Battle Net 2 will fix piracy, SC2 seems like will demand a good computer and having a good computer means you have 50 bucks to buy the game anyways.

GArena and Iccup were leagues made to adress lag issues, which are TERRIBLE on battle.net. If battle.net 2 is good then no one will be playing with other programs?, why waste your time when bnet2 is so awesome?

Blizzard is just excluding 3rd world country tournaments, yeah i know its sad but its the truth... This year's WCG Mexico (which i did not attend, but im going and will attend to sc2 tournaments) only had 2 computers for both SC and WC3 Tournaments, and this was in Mexico City, yeah we have the technology, but the people doing the tournaments dont care and in the end we're gonna be the ones that end up getting owned.

 

I could say a lot of things but Ill settle with this. You aren't Blizzards targeted group of customers. Tough luck.

I still have some faith that Blizzard will include a form of LAN via connection to Battle.net. You will still need internet connection of some sort, but it should not affect your in-game ping.

 

Threadcreator: I feel sorry for you and understand you very well.

HB: Tell me how they would make that? If you are logged into battle.net you are logged onto a server, which means that all info is sent from you -> server -> opponent. To play LAN you would have to bypass this server - log off battle.net.

 

We're not their targeted group of customers ?... are you kidding me man ?, we have the resourses, i bet i have a better computer and earn more money than you do... many people do too, mexico is a rich country, just an unfair one...

Latin-america is a huge place and even if mexico cant (and wont) rival USA in sales, im pretty sure latin-america sales will be just as good.

As it is unfair, people just do **** for the money, tournaments here arent well organized, shall i remember you were the last 3 WCG America were played ( México buddy, mexico... and i dont recall any internet access)

Its not my fault you're not interested in competition because you're just a noob... if you were, you would understand how i felt...

 

Of course he would, but his 25 posts before showed he isnt so:

You must just wait and see what happens. Lets w8 to kill Karune and Dustin before BETA.

 

TheOnslaught: Why do you start with ad homonimum attacks? I wasnt even disagreeing with you! But yes, its sort of like saying 'Why don't they make World of Warcraft in offline version since we have so many potential customers here which lack the proper internet connection.' As I said I hope there is some sort of (legal) form of LAN introduced for the sake of a lot of people, mostly people in your situation. Very mature sir.

furrer: Say you log in and then you get the option to play over LAN, once you begin a game you play solely over LAN and you can either lose internet connection completely for the period of the game or there can be some intervals at which battle.net checks the validity of your game. Poor explenation of my idea, yes, but there are plenty of people who are much better at this technical gritties and they can confirm that its entirely doable.

 

HB: who?

 

I have to say QQ, no jk but I know blizzard wont let us down, i'm 100% sure blizzard has something up there sleeve.

 

Yeah, but I still dont like this you know:

"No more Lan, but we got great features we dont want to talk about juhuu! "

 

Blizzard knows Latam is a huge potential market. The recently opened WoW servers in mexico.

My bet is that with Bnet 2.0 they will invest in servers both in mexico and brazil.

Till then you got the short end... or you move to europe like i did =)

Suerte hermanos!

 

Sorry im at the Defensive, but im just mad at blizzard, they're gonna screw us over and i really wanted to compete one last time...

There was allways this rivalry with WC3 and SC players, and i want to prove myself.

Im just saying, the game will probably need a good computer, if you have a good computer you have the money to buy the game...

If battle net2 is good, then no one will look for external applications to play (compete) lag free.

I want to clarify... i know SC2 will be a great game, im just saying they'll screw LAN Tournaments, as most times they dont have internet connection...

 

It is their intention to screw LAN tournaments.

This is Blizz, saying to the gaming world:
You'd better get a decent internet connection on your LAN party dawg!

Its not really that hard. Not if your passionate about it.

 

i hate to sound mean but that really sounds like a personal issue... im sure theres many places in mexico that server better tournaments then the ones in your area. and if not then well...

you cant complain about the 3rd world countries that have no internet and such to be blizzards problem... that is a country issue. those countries that are not able to afford internet like in america or even a TV is something concerning there economy. blizzard cant fix that and they are doing what is best for the majority of countries that DO have such things.

 

Lollolol, w3 ftw. So are you a w3 or a sc player onslaught.

 

I Used to be a war3 player Sniper, but obviusly i want to test myself in sc2 .

A regional issue? Ballistixz get off your coach, there is a world out there, Mexico City is the CAPITAL of México, did you even read? WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY, its just expensive and the org doing WCG will probably avoid spending that money rather than going trough all the trouble...

REGIONS WITHOUT INTERNET?

are you retarded? how do you think im talking to you?, latin america has internet, its just more expensive and troublesome for a tournament, which may be a reason for them to just drpo sc2 from WCG 2010.

 

Lol, thanks for the laugh ballista. Well, just how you interpreted it slaught...

 

i dont get it... it still sounds like a personal problem to me... if you have the technology like you say you do then whats the problem? to expensive? then sorry to say but thats just tough luck...

also i was repying to your original post that said, "What about 3rd world countrys that may, or may not have internet access for the tournaments?"

if your going to call someone "retarded" just for responding to your OWN words and what YOU YOURSELF said then i suggest you start learning how to word things better if you dont like what they say...

so pls re read your own post before you go blatantly go around flaming someone...

 

Firstly, that's completely uncalled for. Not only is it not by any means productive, but it's wrong. Blizzard is aiming for as many people as possible to play StarCraft2. If these people truly weren't part of Blizzard's target audience, then it wouldn't be sold there or translated into their languages, and if you think it's only translated into Spanish and whatnot for the Europeans in Spain, you're dead wrong.

Secondly, Blizzard is actively looking for new countries for esports to grow, especially seeing as, as they have said themselves, the US has shown so little enthusiasm. So, if anything, developing countries are one of the key places to look for what they're aiming for. Now obviously they may not always have the same level of available technology in regard to computers, internet connection, etc, but Blizzard has never aimed to only provide for people who do, which is why they have kept the specifications so low and tried to get as many people as possible interested in StarCraft2, not limiting their contact to familiar countries, translating Battle Reports into as many languages as possible, etc.

So, overall, not only are you wrong in saying that Mexico, of all places, isn't part of Blizzard's target, but just because you personally don't share this problem, it doesn't it isn't a problem.

@ Ballistixz. Preventing the ability for all third world countries to hold StarCraft2 tournaments is hardly Onslaught's personal problem.

 

seuco...they just opened the servers...what does that tell you about the fact WoW came out about 4 years ago?

 

oh wow, i really need to update myself...

no LAN?!

i mean WTF blizzard?!

so if we guys want to play a 4 vs 4 game, we cant? unless you we want a laggy over-the-net game...

i love you blizz :3
