After the new patch came out i had to reinstall my WC3. The reason for this is when i switched computers i couldn't find my old WC3 CD.. i only had my Frozen Throne CD. So all i did was take the Warcraft 3 Folder in program files and drag it to the new computers hardrive. For some reason i was able to play like that pretty much with out installing the game. That is until the new patch. I DLed the new patch and tried to install it but kept gettin some kinda of error... So i decided to go buy WC3 :( ... After i installed it i tried to log onto US west which is the server i always play on.. and got this "Unable to connect to battle.net. you may be trying to connect to an invalid server. if you are using a modem you may need to manually connect to the internet before connecting to battle.net"

So i tried to connect to US East to see if i had the same problem... worked perfectly. Tried to get back on west and it still wont work... WTF is going on? Why cant i connect to West but i can connect to East? I have been reading many different forums similar to this subject but didn't get any good answers. Some people said to change ur IP address and that didn't work.

Please, someone who has had the same problem or knows about this problem HELP!

You got banned. Normally these bans last up to 2 months depending on why you got it.

If you want to play one East again you have to change all those 3 things AT THE SAME TIME:
CD-keys (both)
BN Account name
IP Adress

If ANY of these 3 is banned you automatically get rebanned. Means if your IP is banned and you try to connect your CD keys gets banned again (if you bought a new one).

Maybe you tried to connect to the server too often? (connection flooding)

no i dont believe its a ban, mainly because it only happened when the new patch came out. I also dont do anything illegal on bnet... all i do is Dota.

Just wait it out. If after 2-3 months it's not over, then contact Blizzard or buy a new cd.

Rather than buying multiple copies try to first contact blizzard, explain clearly and in detail:

What problems you are experiencing
Why you think you are experiencing them
What you have tried to do to resolve the issue

Contacting support will usually wield in an unhelpful answer or link to another page in their FAQ's but they should understand if you've bought multiple copies of the game. Of course, they may ask you to prove you purchased the game by asking for a proof of purchase on the box/receipt or other means... I don't know their policy.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
