Is utilizing the default battle.net interface within the game something you can consider in the future post-release?
I'm just curious - why would this be necessary? I understand that you might be more familiar with that UI but I find the current UI to be smooth and pleasant.
It would be interesting if you could have "skins" for Shield Battery though - like how Reddit has a "night theme" on mobile or whatnot. That would be where you could implement the classic UI

1. So will be able to host without port forwarding? Are they even testing that? I mean they beta invited some safe people who probably have already port forwarded so are they really even testing it..
Being able to host/join games will the biggest thing for getting people to come play SC BW
2. I'm sort of the in the camp that I hope they eventually have the option to have the old US East/West/etc battle.net server interface art style with all those giant metallic buttons/sound effects when click buttons. I've attached to that aesthetic and art style. Shoot me

1. You can host/join with no port forwarding right now. I strongly doubt they just included "safe" people. I play in multiple locations based on my job/living situation and most of those places don't have port forwarding, especially not for the work laptop I've been using. They have all performed flawlessly, barring any personal lag issues.
2. As I said, I can understand that, but I don't think it should be a dev priority. If skins were to be implemented I do think that would be really cool though!

Oh you mean a stand-alone client? I heard someone mention that earlier in the thread...

Theoretically, the end result could be wrapped in electron (https://github.com/electron/electron) and still be a standalone player while retaining the build structure. Hell, Slack is built with it and it works great. Don't think it would be much of a stretch depending on how the communication between frontend and backend is handled atm.

...and casually eats a ridiculous 1.5 Gigabyte RAM. I wouldn't call that great...

Well for 1,
Some locations I can host / join game without portforwarding and some locations I have to not sure the reason.
Unrelated to the above, will there be custom game hosting bots support? There are plenty of people on US BW east who can't host

I assume you've reported that strange variance in detail?

I want the stand-alone client to be the default battle.net interface provided with the game

Looks like time for me to try out bw again
|
How is the project going?
|
It's going very well - the first wave of invites for expanded small-scale testing have gone out, and adjustments are being made to the client so that it works better. Presumably, once Tec and 2pac feel good about where it is for this group of people, they'll send out even more invites.
