All this chat about the chat UI... I personally don't feel like using the chat function in pretty much any game, and I don't think it's because of the way the UI is. I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that there are so many ways to communicate today, with all the Skype, Discord, Teamspeak, etc. When I play games, I use these tools to communicate and I think it's the main reason why we don't see much people using the chat functions in games anymore. Before, if you wanted to play you logged in the game and saw who was available, now everyone is online all the time on different platforms and it's easier to talk to my friends on let's say Discord than BNet, even if it's the old BNet.

idk personally i dont use microphone to play and actually prefer not hearing voices most of the time so obviously you need the text then and why would it be on a exterior interface lol
for me the quality of the chat on bnet is very important appreciate things such as enter/leave notification as option etc
and i think stuff like icons for the chat is a nice bonus its fun, i saw a pic recently that showed if you want to unlock a scv portrait, it takes 700 T wins????^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
how about 50 for a worker and then... different numbers for each race??^^ what for random????
50 Z : gling or drone
100 P : zealot
50 T : scv or marine
50 R : ??? heroes?

lol curious what its gonna be

FWIW it's not on GMarket which does international shipping (yet) so I'm guessing its only exclusive to 11번 right now.

Who on earth would complain about 15$ for a game you already love getting a facelift, new ladder (remember the old one? lol), new this, new that. Wait until it's out, watch streams for a few days, let the first few hotfixes/patches pass and then decide if that absurd amount of money is worth it to you, maybe?
€: And yes Blizzard, leave the old chat alone, rerender it, tweak functionality and that's it. Nobody needs the absolute horseshit that was implemented in SC2.

The sluggish and clunky UI is still bothering me. Seems to be some sort of webpage. I haven't had it crash yet like this. Maybe someone here can tell us a bit more about this? Can something be done on the user's end to make it more smooth?

1. Slow loading time
2. Slow menu transitions (jerky, laggy)
3. UI freeze upon opening game list first time.
4. We need more keyboard shortcuts for navigation.

Korea PC Bang Association criticize Blizzard now.

This is their declaration.

In korea, we usually paid 1 USD per hour.

Until now, Every PC Bang have to buy Blizzard package, but they didnt pay another charge.

But after Remaster, every PC Bang will have to pay 0.22 USD per hour to Blizzard.

So this conflict is big issue in this country.

PC Bang is very important for SCR's Success.

Im so worried...

Just to be clear, before you basically had to buy a "blizzard flatrate" as a pc bang owner to use their games, but for remastered they want 22 cents for each dollar?

PC Bang Association ciriticze 'Double Charge'

For example, if i have a SCR and play it in PC Bang about 1hour

Blizzard get income 2 ways.

1. My package charge
2. 0.22$

They call it double charge.

Since Blizzard is a commercial company I can't say I'm too surprised. lol
Every day Blizzard's greed becomes a bit more like Scrooge McDuck.

I can't wait to see the lapdogs trip over their own feet as they struggle to come up with a pathetic justification of how this is okay or going to help BW lmao.

What a sad, sad state of affairs...
