I mean it's fucking 2.0! That means its updated and better right?
WRONG.
- No chat channels.
- Terrible, terrible interface, have to click 5000 things to do something simple. + Show Spoiler +
Like If I want to look through a match history, after each match, I have to re do every step. Same with viewing friends ladder divsions, etc. etc. And they are so confusing because there are like 4-5 sub menus and they aren't laid out plainly.
- No hotkeys at all for game lobbies, or battlenet.
- No realms.
- Laggy interface. That damn spinning circle blank screen is fun. + Show Spoiler +
remember when people were complaining about the slow interface and those damned chains in war 3? Well now we have the spinning circle, hooray!
- Can't host replays online. Can't even send replays to friends without 3rd party programs or websites.
- No team/Clan Support. War 3 had this, nice update to orginal bnet.
- Chat commands. Remember "/f m hi who wants to game?". Now all we have is worthless broadcast that doesn't hit friends in game and you can only see the last 10 or so out of your 50 friends, and /r which doesn't seem to work if you are chatting to a guy in a window then join a game.
- Offline friends listed by real name and not nickname.
- Map Publishing system is a huge failure.
- Need realID to be able to do the important shit on on bnet 2.0 but tbh I'd rather not give out my email everywhere and have people's real names etc. I HATE typing email addresses.
- Must type in email and password to join bnet. Can not save password.
- Ladder maps are positionally imbalanced. Not even going to get into racial imbalanced maps.
- Game F10 Menu is crappier. No "exit game button" to rage quit sc2, no "are you sure? confirmations"
- End game screen doesn't show some of the important standard basic shit it showed in BW
- etc...
Oh and every Tuesday morning we get this cool downtime for 5 hours.
I mean I know these threads have been made 100 times, but seriously Blizzard what the fuck? When beta was supposed to be come out last year, you said "nono we gotta make sure bnet 2.0 is all good to go first" and we waited several more months. Then beta went down for another month after phase 1 and still no fixes. Now the game is out and it's the same terrible system.
Lan has nothing to do with b.net so I wont mention that but it would be nice to have lan while bnet goes down every fucking week wouldn't it?
Why is it every time something new and improved comes out, no matter what it is. They always make it look all flashy and shit but totally forget the utilitarian side of it? A lot of the functions that you and everyone else who loves the program/cellphone/service/etc are totally left out of the new version which makes people disgruntled and go back to their old versions.

This is really thought provoking CM. Why has no one thought of these ideas before?
|
The thing that annoys me the most is how the match list is organized by map name and not opponents name. If i want to look back at a game I played against a certain opponent i have to randomly click through 100's of games until i find it 
|
I wish we could click on our profiles and actually see something useful as well instead of all these achievements and bullshit.
For example; Ladder Matchup win/loss & percentage
Custom game Matchup win/loss & percentage
Best win streak/ worst loss streak.
etc

Is there any automated way to save replays? Or do you have to manually save them after each game so they won't get dropped after ~10 more games?
|
is there ANY possibility to find out my win/loss ration in all matchups (like it was on ICCUP)?

The sarcasm is overwhelming.
I completely agree CM. Not being able to play Sc2 with your friends on different continents, great! Not being able to hangout in a channel full of friends or just good old casual gaming channels, great!
Ugh really...

I find myself not knowing how to find a clan without chat channels :S
I really just want to play some clan leagues and shit and in WC3 I used to hang out in the clan channels and then ask for a tryout game or something and we were good to go :S

Talk about retarded system they implemented to search for custom games. If you wanna play a map that is not in the first page, you will never be able to find a game.....
Who was the mentally incapacited Blizzard employee that came up with such an illogical system?
|
I'd like to add
I'm nowhere near good enough to take advantage of it, but still.
|
this thread proves that bullet points increase the profundity of a post by 100x
|
That's handy. Thanks for this.
Now I wish we could send replays to each other from within the game.

The one positive thing about bnet 2.0 is that it saved me $60.

I laughed so hard when TheMango was like "Yea it only autosaves your last 5 replays, but you can use Windows' scheduler and a vbs script to save them..."

LOL well played. Also, the replay folder doesn't keep track of the last folder accessed so I'd have to navigate back to the same folder every time I finished a replay.
