I love this game. It is so good. However because i love this game so much i want it to be perfect. Here are my ten suggestions to make a Great game ... eh even greaterer 
Do note i will not handle balance topics. Since hardly anyone is qualified to make the suggestions and i trust blizzard in this matter.
So here goes. My top ten suggestion for SC2
Nr. 10. Lan support (It wouldn't hurt the customer experience just to put it in for the heck of it)
Nr. 9. Guilds (Just for laughs and the possibility to be ownage in yet another ladder)
Nr. 8. Chatrooms (To meet up with strangers, get annoyed by kiddes, get a practise partner)
Nr. 7. Cross realm play (I need to meet up with Fibarfy, Judgepower and others from old RTS's)
Nr. 6 Real ladders (People who feel pro while being gold, platinum, <650 points diamond, need to be put in their place and see their actual ranking)
Nr. 5 Different ladders per race (I am imprisoned playing my main race, Off racing does not work well with matchmaking and will result in unbalanced games)
Nr. 4 Fix the custom game system. Let us give titles to custom games (e.g. All Random, Pro)
Nr. 3 Fix the custom game system. Remove publishing limitations (No realm localization need, no size limit, downloadable from mod sites)
Nr. 2 Party replay watching (lets have casters be in sync again and lets have some popcorn and watch a replay with some friends)
And finally,
Nr. 1 Aestetic changes. Replace initial loading screen from Jim Raynor to Sarah Kerrigan - human form (I don't mind a husky man in my loading screen but i'd rather look at Sarah.
So any remarks, did i miss anything, is it like your own wishlist or totally different?

seems more about b.net 2 than sc2.
|
i wish i got a girlfriend playing sc2
|
I dunno about some of the others, but point #1 is clearly where it's at.
|
sounds like you want b.net 1.0

I think many people would list a t least 6-7 of these as top priority on their list. It really seems like there are more complaints about b.net 2.0 itself than there are about Terran OP. And thats a LOT of complaints :D
|
This would make the game a lot lot better, although point #1 is arguable.
|
I am positively surprised, because there are no balance suggestions. 
For me #5 would be probably the most important one... just yesterday I thought to myself... "ah well play a few games Z." which resulted in a demotivating 0-5.
(Not that I wasn't expecting something like that.)
#1 will imo be granted when Hots gets released.
But yeah all in all pretty good list.
|
Well said, everything there is very important, besides the loading screen..
The only thing I would add is more interesting/balanced melee, which is obviously pretty big but hopefully will be addressed in future patches and the next expansion.
|
Agreed on most points. I personally don't mind my off races being tied to the same ladder as my main, but definitely think this Diamond league thing is ridiculous.
And seriously? Startup screen, I feel this is why there are so many "Terran imba" threads... You start SC2 up and what do us non Terran players have? Raynor, staring into our souls, weakening our resolve. I think Blizzard should totally get on the startup screen issue and put up a picture of the TL horses already

Nice to see a fellow player sharing my pain. Do you also recognize that after that lose streak you'll start playing your main race and win way too easy again.
|
#2 is something that I really want too. You should be able to watch replay with ppl in a game. Just let the host have the control of the game speed (pause, rewind, etc.) but each player can select any camera (point of view) that he want. I don't think this would be to hard to implement...
|
the lack of group replay viewing is really ridiculous to me. It was a huge part of learning BW and just plain old enjoying a great game with some friends.
Does anyone know why blizzard took out group replay viewing?
edit: I've had several situations in the past few days when one of my friends is like, "let's watch this game" and then "oh wait.."

The thing I wan to know... which of these things has Blizzard said they are actually working on and planning to implement in the future?
|
The ability to restart single player games against the AI would be nice. Makes testing or learning new builds a royal pain in the arse when you have to quit and trawl through all the menu's just to start over. It was an option in Broodwar, don't see why it can't be here.

I don't think this is true. Some of them Blizzard hasn't gotten around to yet and others Blizzard is intentionally not including...

#1 is definitely the most important, but I do agree with all your points.
|
I will have to agree with all 10 of these wishes. Especially the replay and chat room ones. Clan friendly features would rock as well.

balance will always be a priority, but its near to impossible to achieve perfect balance in such a game, especially in these early stages.
His bnet features wishlist is purely technical and most of it would be easy to implement.
Also elaborate on "skill ceiling" bit, do you consider that you have already hit the ceiling? Then why i haven't seen you win any major tournaments?
Getting rid of activision is a bit too late as the game is already out, however i can see how this could potentially improve blizz's future products.
fix sounds? what?
I dont know whats broken in the campaign, i have finished it and havent noticed any issues in it apart from it having a boring characters and story (awesome missions though). OP's bnet improvements are way more important than fixing the campaign... whatever that is.

Blizzard has stated that they're working on chat channels, cross-regional play and clan support. They've also said that LAN will never be a part of the retail version of SC2.
