He feels like he should be able to buy the game at a fair price, select the region settings, and install it simply. That's a pretty reasonable expectation. The thing is that I really expected a smooth experience from Blizzard. There are many minor things, they stack, and the whole impression is rather negative. I would take that from someone like .dat (Disciples III anyone?) but taking that from Blizzard is psychologically hard. Please answer, does anybody else experience mem leaks in the game? I have to restart the client every now and then to smooth out my experience, otherwise it gets choppy. Btw, my computer is in the recommended specs zone, way above minimum specs. I can't see why complaining about performance in that case is not legitimate. Also, it seems that the leaks/performance issues only happen in prolonged sessions of single-player. Idk, but when you say that a game requires 1 gb of RAM as a minimum, there is no way it can take up 2,5 without bugs. | ||

Also Hynda, I think people would be a lot more inclined to listen to what you had to say if you would calm down and try to be civil. | ||

So most of the issues that you have are YOURS and I mean YOURS fault. 1. You can arrange your things that way you can be free at Thursday, the SC2 launch date had been announced like month ago... So "Fuck you, Mr. BluzMan". 2. No wonders that your computer is running slowly, when your HD is full, but it still amazes me that in 2010 the disk space is a problems with HDDs being as cheap as 30$. 3. On mid end PC not older then 2 years the game installs for around 10-15mins. Longer times means that your PC is not optimized or that it is too old. "Sorry, Mr. BluzMan, but you CAN'T play on the PC that you bought for Starcraft I" 4. Patching takes UNDER a minute. Unless ofc if you are using the good old 56k modem that you bought for Warcraft II Battle.net edition... 5. The problem with the slow refresh(which can be forced by simply changing your password) of some accounts and the thing that they don't allow localized version to use the English translation - I pin that to Blizzard. 6. However the money problems are COMPLETELY yours fault. I live in Bulgaria so don't come at me with the argument that the life standard here is higher than in Russian cause we are almost as poor as most of the Russians. Anyway if you have spent your childhood in studding instead in drinking vodka, you would have a nice job, which would afford you to buy a good gaming rig and a stable connection and the 90 euros(the price for the CE in Bulgaria) which I paid for the CE would seem like well spent money to support one of your favorite games. So again "Fuck you, Mr. BluzMan". I normally don't get mad at people easily, but I can't stand people, which love to blame the world for theirs failures. User was warned for this post | ||

1. His computer is apparently, not so great. His fault for running a game below specs and expecting it to run great? Technically yes. But, let us also consider Blizzards LONG standing history of making games that my graphing calculator could run if it put everything on low. Part of it may be that we have reached a tech mark where Blizz was forced to lean on the side of pretty and was unable to scale it down as far as they would like for other customers. But it was a valid point he brought up and something that Blizzard used to be known for in every game until SC2. 2. The Pricing scheme over there is 100% a rip off. I feel it is nothing short of the result of the Acivision merger coupled with the inflated profit expectations since WoW was released. If they truly were trying to make different price structures to accomodate certain regions they would not have the ultimate price tag 40-60%+ above US Retail. Its just greed and it was an extremely valid point. 3. Patching in all honesty didn't take long at all. I understand if in Russia you might not have access to high end broadband like in most of the US, but its not blizzards fault there. It just is what it is. On that note, I know your b.net account was a little frustrating too, but really they just launched b.net 2.0 and if all that happened was some people had to change their password then hell, that still pretty successful launch. 4. Game load times are annoyingly long. Not something I would rage the forums about and boycott the game. But coupled with other problems I can see how it gets frustrating. So I don't agree with the entire post. But it is deff not something to be flammed or otherwise devalued because it does have a lot of interesting and some extremely valid points on what Blizzard used to be, and where they seem to be going. I still love Blizzard, and they are FAR, FAR and away the best company out there. But even they seem to be falling prey, if nothing else a small part, to the greed and shortcomings that rampantly plague other companies. | ||

Wtf was that? you need to take a deep breath before posting, that was both stupid and offensive. And did you mean studying or studding? Sounds like his English is better than yours anyway. Maybe you should have studied more as a child (unless I'm unfamiliar with usage of studding..?) I'm sure you have a similar problem in your country. In Russia there are plenty of bright and educated people who simply do not have opportunities, due to workplace politics, to shine. Bashing the system is ok, bashing the people is messed up. This is in reference to your stop drinking and study to get a job comment. So "Fuck you Mr. 2 good 4 you". Besides, the guy said countless times his comp is above minimum requirements, in the recommended requirements zone. And I can also see how having these problems TOGETHER could be frustrating. Paying $80 for a game that costs 60 elsewhere is messed up, especially when it is done under a slogan of making it easier for Russians to buy the game, Having to pay ultimately 80 while your expectations of a smooth experience are ruined is even worse. I'd make a fucked up comment about Bulgarians but actually know a few cool ones, not like yourself, out of respect for them I'll shut up here. Advice for you - take a shot of vodka, you need to relax. And just so you know, there are tons of Russians who are smarter, more educated, richer (since you made a comment about that) and obviously more mannered than you are... make sure this truth sinks into your arrogant head. | ||

I spent a ton on my computer and it benchmarks in the top 0.1%, so I was pretty disappointed to see load screens taking forever and the game still chunking, particularly with TWO of the highest end graphics cards on crossfire. 90-120 second load screens was not part of what I expected at all. Otherwise, very happy with everything and I love the game. | ||

3. On mid end PC not older then 2 years the game installs for around 10-15mins. Longer times means that your PC is not optimized or that it is too old. Took an hour to install for me and my PC is pretty decent ;/ Most likely it's because my DVD player is pretty crappy tho D: | ||

For example : If you go to a movie theater and the parking lot is a little messy, is that a big deal? No. What about if there's a line at the Box Office, or you're given the wrong change at the concession stand, or you are directed to the wrong auditorium? I wouldn't say any of these things RUIN your whole experience, but if you put them all together, they result in a view of "Wow, this company is shit." Maybe some people didn't show up for work that day so there was a long line, or the person at the doorstand just had his pet put down and wasn't really paying attention. However, in the end, it doesn't matter what the circumstances are. Accomodations have to be made to improve the service. If the consumer is unhappy with a service, it is due at least in part to the company that provides it. | ||

Anyway I might be wrong with the times, but it didn't take more then 30 mins to install the game for sure(MPQ extraction is pretty fast). | ||
