This is sad. Battle.net should be holy ground indeed. This was the first and ultimately best free service to play games online with.... It's too bad it has come to this...

well, you can still play Diablo these days, i tried sometime ago, my gosh there are still guys in Diablo! seeing the game itself is older then some highscholl kid you know, you made some good points, nevertheless when we look at it whole, i still have to say that blizzard is still at its prime, know why? i think its because they are themselves great strategists compared to their peers in the affair of game making, westwood could, but nah, EA might, but never...who else

i suspect that they are slowly shifting power/resource over (like you said WOW) new born childs and thus having to cut down on their old progenies, although as mentioned Diablo is still playable online! though i suppose you can only see "loyalists" in there.

so the party, the frenzy is over, when everyone has left, there remains the host and its loyalist freinds , that's the lifecycle with any games/entertainment mate, gotta have a sunset, hehe sigh
flawless, perfect strokes, incissor precision yet light as a butterfly. The serious mouse for the deranged star crafter, looking for one?i can help...

MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH on join game list. I join a game and than i get banned/leave/ or if creator leaves i enter join game. Cant see nothing but black than have to wait a few minutes and again the process repeats. How do we solve this annoying blackness.


Go back into your channel, wait 10 seconds, repeat.

Sometimes it solves it. But i had a blank list for minutes before. And when you want a game patience is really hard ^^

I came back to start playing starcraft again and find that I have no ladder to play. Competition is what the game is all about.
Now I'd say im pretty loyal to Blizz, playing since realease of sc on an off, buying at least 3 battlechests due to cd wearing down to nothing, and not to mention buying everyother damn game they have released.
Give me a bug free, hacker free environment blizzard! WoW 7 million subscribers per month times 15$ = ??? I'm sure theres plently of money in blizz to provide this for a game near a decade old.
Greed is a sin?

Like anybody else have said, if we had a ladder type like WC3 has, i believe much of us would be very very content, and the community would grow.


I think the community is dying mainly because there is no ladder to play. There are a lot of events, but they're really for entertainment and do not bring new users to play. People are getting frustrated of not finding games (like myself) constantly. Yes, i know, there are channels like clan x17, op tot), op tl-west blabla, yet if you want to go mass gaming, it is almost impossible, and more over, you are lucky if you find someone about your level.

Most people level are either very good players, or very newb


Yeah man, you are right. I can't host games so I tried to join pub games. And what do I find? Zero-Clutter-Fastest-Money-20-min-no-rush games. I also find games with weird characters in names (korean guys that are too good). I tried to join a clan so that I can play 4-5 games/ day. But the fact is, I play this game for fun, not competitively. And most of the clans require too much dedication. I only want to play someone of my level...

It's not about "learning how to host", but "having an internet provider with a low number of external ip's(usually just 1)"

WCGZone is awsome, but there are no players there, and that is what caused there demise. It was a great place to play once you get used to the setup. But many players did not give it a decent shot because it was a bit complicated to start it off.

Due to it's new anti hack launcher, gamon and the new WCG Icons. That IMP I thik is why it never rose above all.

So, let's summarize.
Flame Blizzard. Flame WGTour. Don't know how the situation looks like, but flame anyway because, well... simply because you have to throw shit at WGTour occasionally to remind everyone how much we suck.
Anything constructive? No. Still nothing new. The same, old Entropy.

Pat stopped caring already. Don't know about Ashur, but with articles like this you're actually bringing me closer to the same path. And when we all leave, you can write your articles all you wish - it won't change anything for the good. It never has, too.

Arguing about Entropy's words about WGTour is pointless, Entropy has a grudge against WGTour ever since he got kicked from WGT staff for doing nothing else than being on the admin list, but I guess that was unprofessional of us, too. As much as I respect him as a person, he's way to biased in certain matters and expresses his hatred towards us whenever he's able to. It was a good read, as it was well written, but it had no value at all, at least not to me. Interesting anyway~

And altough WGTour screwed up a lot ladder section-wise, I think we already made it clear that the start of season 14 is not really up to us anymore and it's like this since a few months. The only thing we can be blamed for is poor PR in the matter.


Can someone link me to this?

This is not a flame.

...but I think it would be a good idea if you kept us up to date on what is going on at least once a month or so. So we know at least some info on the current status of WGTour.

I don't know who works on SC at Blizzard, but I sure hope they never see this site.

Personally, I love Battle.net . But if you guys would like it improved, then a good first step would be learning how to ask.

I gladly would. The problem is, I don't really know how much I can disclose without breaking some legal agreements that would a) cause problems for Skav and the rest of the WGTour Association members b) break our agreement with Blizzard. This is what happens when you deal with a big company officially - you have to adhere to legal rules, not just "community standards".

What I can disclose, I think, is that we haven't stopped working on WGTour, we have to however update the legal agreements before we can move on in any way. We're finalizing that right now, so hopefully something will move in the following weeks, but since a couple of times before things looked like it too and we're where we are, I won't make any promises nor make any ETAs.

llintar,

I understand how when you dedicate yourself to a task and only a few appreciate your product as it is can be hard, but you need to understand how the community feels. I'm not saying it's right or wrong to complain or bring issues into the light of day, but it should be important to note why are these complaints here.

As for the battle.net complaints, when was the last time you tried to get a game to see an entire list from weeks prior to? What do gamers do when this happens? What do gamers do when there's no constructive ladder to compete on? Why are these complaints being listed in this thread?

There, I think, is only one important question in that list. And I think the answer is, everyone is afraid that a game that is, for the most part, teetering on the cliff of oblivion might just make it over the edge if these issues aren't resolved.

I guess I'm just hoping to express that while i'm sure every single poster on this site that loads scextension probably scratches their head about the new name, enjoys it's effects tremedously. Just the same as every other tool that's ever been released, but we're all scared, and information so few have is the only salve for our pain ^^

Sorry your stuck between a rock (Blizzard) and a hard place (TL.net's Forum), but I for one appreciate what you do.

I believe Ilintar put it clear.

No one will move and start-up WGT or even talk about anything let alone inform the community until all legal aspects have been disclosed.

If your dealing with Blizz, associates and investment partners, all legal matters simply have to be covered first. WGTour and Blizz is all about money and company interests now. The community will come in to all this and start playing a small roll again as soon as WGtour starts up again.

until then...... tough shit, start getting use to the fact that things have changed and the old WGtour Community will have to adopt to all the new circumstances!

My prediction is:
The new WGTour community that will formate, will not give a shit about the past and play the ladder!
And thats all thats important, a working and maintained Ladder!

EDIT:
I could also imagine that Blizz is taking its time, because there may be a major change to the old Battle.net to come, but the time is not yet right for it.

Like:
- only having 1 major Gateway/Server for SC/BW instead of 4 with 1 Ladder run by Wgtour.

It's only a speculation, but thinkable! who knows?
