:) I agree completely that moaning on the forums won't change anything and I will be the last to put up a B%$#@/whine post. Last night I just had this funny image in my head of a random personals listing and I ran with it.

Another polarizing moment of humor. @TheMystic - I was going for the similar feel of a Craigslist posting. I think I nailed it. @Aviyur - I have not ever played, nor even seen, dota. I apologize if my post offends in any way. It is merely a humorous outlet to a frustrating situation. While I can see where it looks like bragging the truth is that people sometimes quit when their own actions don't end up as planned. Our game was close AND fun until

I thought we were getting along so well... you would bring your Oak in for a surprise flag party.. I would port in and beat you down... I thought we had something going... Then suddenly you left the game.. 2 or 3 seconds after getting killed... was it me? Was I just making up all that chemistry...? I'll be here when you are ready...

[quote]NO NEW HEROS! not until they balance the current heroes and fix online play. This game is a fucking joke! it takes close to 25min to find a game for the pantheon. they need to stop this person to person connection shit and actually host real servers. Warcraft 3, Starcraft 1,2 Diablo 1,2 and countless other games have been made with NO PROBLEM to the internet play, but yet this POS game cant get it right. Not only that but there heroes are so fucking unbalanced its not even f

[quote]Phazure: That's really weird. I think we'd need to know a lot more about your connection. I mean, how or why would MSN or Xfire disconnect because of loading upa game?

Why are you looking for support to return the game or not? If you don't like playing in its present form or are unable to play due to connectivity issues, either return the game or sit on it while things are worked out. If you still need some type of consensus or support from someone else before you make a decision with what to do with your own money, I would put more stock in one of your buddies thoughts than random community members.

I have been thinking about upgrading my router for awhile and my recent ups and downs with DG have spurred the process on a bit. The upgrade I have ben looking at is the Linksys WRT54GL - very positive reviews, especially paired with third party Firmware like DD-WRT or Tomato. Currently I have a Netgear MR315 v3 (I believe - I'm not at home right now and am going from memory). I am wondering how many DG players use or have used the Linksys router (with or without 3rd p

Are you able to play any matches at all or does it happen every time? The internet dropping is an issue that has affected a group of people since the patch on 5/14. (another issue from that patch is large lag spikes for some which may or may not be related to the first issue). Are you able to move your computer temporarily to test it directly plugged into your router? My guess is that the issue is unrelated to wireless - something about that recent patch is causing

/renew doesn't work for this.. at least for me. Tried it a few times last night and the ip never resolves. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem though (and for me it is all network connections - I can't do anything online until I reboot). I first started doing modem/router reboots but found that a windows restart is all that is needed. Still - it didn't start happening until the 2nd most recent update. There are a few posts going on this

Very nice post Dead Ghost! This is an issue that is incredibly annoying and seems to be affecting more and more people. I did not have this happen until the last patch (the one before the 18th). I can currently play 3v3, 4v4.. not sure on 5v5.. but you never know when it is going to strike. Internet goes down! I tried to just ipconfig /release and then /renew.. ni dice. I tried to Repair my conenction. Nope. Rebooting my

You are not alone Murazor. I first noticed this the other night as well. I played a couple games and during an attempt to join a game my game froze. I had to force DG closed and my internet was shot. Hard reset my router and modem to get them wworking again. Happened again last night while i had NetMeter running and it seems that I am getting a massive spike in UL and DL data which apparently my computer/network cannot handle.

I have a question for those affected by this: Are you running and VOIP software as well? I was just looking a little further into Skype and I need to do a little testing with NetMeter it appears. I would like to have some data as well from before this latest patch but once I get home and get some numbers together I'll put them up.

It sounds to me likethe actual requirements once in-game could not have changed as Frogboy's latest post states that SD deals with all of the connections up until the game launches and then passes off to DG (GPG). However (and I am just speculating - this is not my field) could thhere be some residual activity happening with the original connections? It just looked to me like my connection was throttling. I would see all 7 other players with great 80-100 pings and then all

Interesting. That happened to me as well daKillJoy... After my failed 4v4 I joined another 4v4 to see.. same result. Next I joined a 3v3 which played well. Not the smoothest game i have played but decent. After that match I tried to join another 3v3 and my game froze once I clicked the Join Game button. I ended up CTRL-ALT-DEL and forcing DG closed.. after that my internet connection was down. Actually, the connection went down with the

I started having this same problem last night! I hosted a 4v4/5v5 room and ended up going 4v4. When the game launched I checked connectivity and made a comment that it would be a good game as pings looked good and simspeed was all 9-10's. Then the whole game started lagging to the point of futility. When I looked at pings it looked like everyone was jumping from 80-100 up to 300-400. My friend was on Skype and told me that I was the only one looking high

I would like to get some user reports on their upload/download speeds for 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5 games. I have been able to play 4v4's (and one mythical 5v5) in the past but last night in a 4v4 we were lagging out in game badly. Through discussion it looked like I was the main cause of lag spiking so I dropped out. A friend was on Skype with me still in the game and said things evened out when I left. I'd like to have a better idea why (as I have played 4's and 5's bef

I played a match as minion oak the other night and just as I though TB was going down.. he flash-froze my entire group, creeps and all, and walked out. Would have been useful there...but I didn't have one on me.
