Is wc3 really this unresponsive? (10574 reads, 13 replies, 6 months ago)
All my youth was basically spent playing wc3 and tft on a semi high level 1v1. For the last few years i have not played any wc3 but newer games such as HoN etc. Yesterday i tried a few wc3 games again on battlenet but found the input delay almost impossible to bare coming from HoN. Is the delay really this bad? Why is there sucha ahuge amount of ping built into battle net? Maybe before hwen people had shit internet but they really ought to patch this now, its pretty ridiculous.

Ladder play has HUGE delay. It wasnt allways like that... But when i play at Inferno Online in Stockholm with their 1000/1000 mbit, i get to have LAN-ping.

I think that the Telia servers hosting the European BNet have some kind of bottleneck somewhere for sure.
EU BNet is almost unplayable. Try to use GGC

Issues like these just show you how Blizzard abandons their fans of older games to sell more copies of SC2. Why do they not make new maps, patches fix the lag problem? Just to make players quit playing and moving over to SC2.

It has always been a 0.5 sec delay on battle net and custom games. Because blizzard felt that nobody should have a advantage over some other because of their latency.

for example russians always had huge lag on bnet, so blizzards way to deal with that was to put 0.5 sec delay for everyone.

but when u played like often you got used to the delay and couldnt even notice it was there. Until you started playing games like sc2 hon lol and newer rts.

Thats why people starting using all kind of programs when playing dota like listchecker, garena and such. Garena was probably more for the cheap ones who didnt want to buy wc3 tho.

This is what i have heard atleast

#2 Bullshit, because Custom Games don have this lag that #0 is talking about. Just ladder. And its not some added delay, its LAG due to some bottleneck.
Obviusly.

blizzard has a standard delay of 150 ping for bnet play to make it even. the reason why custom games usualy dont have the delay is cos they are mostly hosted using hostbots/delay reducers (third party programs)

Wc3 battlenet has 150-250ms built in delay for EVERYONE (dont remember the exact ms count). Doesnt matter if you have 100mb or 1mb inet. There is the minimum delay, if your internet/location is good enough, you can get to play with the minimum delay.

I have 0/15/16ms on bnet, yet I have the delay.

Hostbots/VCK/delay reducers/GGC let you play without the delay.

That is just horrible. Blizzard ruin their old games to sell the new ones.

Only fair. Imagine losing to someone you would trash in a Bo3 series - because you had 300 ms and him 15 ms.

Now if you have 300 ms and he has 150 ; it's already a fairer matchup and you stand your chance. Some people don't have the chance to be born or to live in a country where high speed internet is easily accessible and/or cheap.

Blizzard was entirely right to make this move back then. For people hating on it now... I just suggest you move on.
