WHY THE FUCK DO THEY NEED HOST BOTS THEY DONT EVEN GIVE THEM ITEMS LIKE IN D2 SRSLY WTF?! i wish all those ppl with host bots their comp break.

Why not? wtf.

Hostbots are for people which cant host. so its usefull.
+ u can Kick/ban people while ingame.
and many other things.

l2 forward ports mate, hostbots blot out the regular hosts making it more harmful then beneficial

So explain me how a person witout a router/adsl can host.

okay go look at these guide videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ex14n0qj58 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRbz6qJDYVs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usSpl0yJFnY
these are the videos i looked at when i was trying to figure out how to forward ports what you do is you go to your CMD go try to find it on the search in the start menu its a thing where you type in text and do programming commands then you type ipconfig in the thing then you see what your IP is just look at the videos and try to find the right number these guide vids are very helpful

its the autohosting that's fucked up, when you host private games with bot then who cares. i.e. the reason our group use bots is because we can have bot more or less in the middle of Europe so that everyone has pretty much the same latency plus the datacenters usually have direct connections to backbones which helps you reduce the delay. everything for the sake of lower delay. the second reason is that in some maps there's elimination system. if you play 10 person map where players are eliminated 1 by 1 and the last survivor is the winner, then if you're the host and you get eliminated early, you have to wait until everyone else finish (or you can leave and terminate their game which is gay)

xd whoaaaa blizz with all their money from wow couldnt just add a dedi server huh
