Also, think about WoW at release. Then think about WoW right now. Blizzard will change the game to suit the players' needs. tl;dr If you like the game, buy it. B.net 2.0 will get changed. thing is, b.net 2.0 will NOT be changed. only thing that will change is theyll add small chat (which is worse than 1.0's). no cross server. no lan. no watch replay with friends. theyll charge money for premium maps and extra money for all these services, etc. | ||

If we think longterm, Blizzard will give the players what they need since it's in their interest that the game is a huge success and continues to be played for a long time. I have no doubt they will get it right eventually. | ||

I can't believe people want to go back to the shitty wc3 system where games appear randomly on your list and joining with friends is nearly impossible. They need to add LAN/non-bnet hosting and it will be awesome. I'm not really going to miss chat rooms. No cross realms really does suck too, hopefully they'll change that at some point. SC2 is still by far the best game released in several years, definitely going to buy it. Weirdest post I've ever seen. There was nothing wrong with the Wc3 Custom game system, its rather the SC2 system that's failing cuz you simply cant name your games and that way make people understand what mode/gametype ur choosing as Husky explained. And considering playing with your friends in the Wc3 custom games. Just add them to friend list and you will see the game they joined, then type in the same name into the bar and join the game? What is your problem seriously. On topic: I will wait with buying the game until they fix the Bnet. In the mean time ill just stick to Wc3  | ||

Then you factor in: - a really deep and potentially challenging single-player. - a really well developed match-making system - solid gameplay and commitment to work on balance Balance that against - no LAN - no cross-region - no public chat channels - no public replays And you still come out overwhelmingly ahead in terms of value gained for your money. Figure a movie costs what about 10 bucks for 2 hours. So we can roughly price enjoyment at $5/hr. Are you really saying that you cannot get 12 hours of enjoyment out of Wings of Liberty? Really? Let's times that by 5. You're paying $1/hr for fun, for 60 hours of fun. You still think you can't get 60 hours of fun out of Wings of Liberty?! Let's try $.25/hr. So 240 hours of fun out of Wings of Liberty. 10 days played worth of fun. You'll collect that in no more than a year, easily. You think you can't get that out of Wings of Libery?! You're lying to yourself if you say that. You can get that out of the UMS maps alone. Even with a shitty 1v1 system. Even if SC2 fails as an esport. You can get that much fun out of the game. And therefore only have to pay $.25/hr for your fun. It's awfully hard to find things to do with your time that are cheaper. | ||

But absolutely agree with the posters here -- Blizzard's off the auto-buy list.  | ||

So I'm not very affected by it, although the desolation and difficulty to make new friends is very infuriating. Even so, I still consider boycotting it while thinking about what complete douchebags blizzard is being. We'll see when push comes to shove, I won't pre-order it anyway. | ||

This game will have amazing longevity if for no other reason than because of the amazing depth of the UMS map editor. You will play entire games inside of SC2. Not DotA. It will make DotA look like some noobies first map in the WC3 editor. You'll play amazing games of amazing depth.

Doesn't mean that they will actually do it though. The bad press would make such an action have large consequences for Blizzard. Very few EULAs are used down to the letter. For the most part they are just legal safeguards. | ||
