Yes, it does need the assistance of the actual Diablo III development team to implement it. But I think this whole notion of, "looking to add something in the future" is getting a bit old. We were told about channels and chat before Sc2 release. How long did it take for even that to be implemented? Now, I thought that since it was in Sc2, we would have at least gotten to that point and progressed a little bit. It just does not seem like that is the case anymore. | ||

Basically, the biggest demographic of multiplayer videogames, 14-25 year old males, is a complete turn off to every other demographic. It's a negative experience for everyone else. Almost every other year, I read a major study showing how the biggest stumbling block to the expansion of hardcore multiplayer games is its current player base. WoW's player base is generally older than most games in the market nowadays, especially FPS and action games. And I still have most general chat channels turned off on most of my characters. SC2's community is even worse, just judging from in game chat. I can definitely see more negatives than positives in allowing public chat channels. It's pretty odd that they don't have guild support, though, as many of my current and former WoW guildmates are likely to pick up this game. If they don´t want the 14-25 year old males to turn away other demographics, they should consider thatin any event those 14-25 year old males will alwys be 60%-80% of the people who buy and play this game for months. If you remove that pesky and annoying demographic, then there is next to nothing left. I see no way that people older than 35 and women of all ages will ever stay long enough on a game like this. If they want to target another demographic, maybe they should make other games. | ||

they think no communication is best? and fuckin b.net 2, look how convoluted its UI is.. 80% of the stuff you never touch. there's some improvements, like matchmaking and auction house I guess.. with millions of people you cant just have a big list of public games like d2 had, u'd have to sort them. Auction house would've been perfect with just gold, but with real money its a big nuisance (everytime you find something good, you think "should I keep it or make money?"). | ||

Auction house would've been perfect with just gold, but with real money its a big nuisance (everytime you find something good, you think "should I keep it or make money?"). B.net 1.0 was quite outdated though. I do find it quite humerous that one of the rationalities for B.net 2.0 was to allow for more of a broader, social interaction theme to be added. But due to the rather deplorable and very delay progression to B.net, it is actually hindered any Social interaction beyond that of actually being in the game. I am having slight difficulties remembering but, can anyone remind me how many changes have actually been done to B.net 2.0? I know it was released, and I remember channels being introduced. But I can't recall anything else or anything significant beyond that. | ||

They've dared me to not buy HOTS or Legacy of the void either, and I'm not buying Diablo 3 either. I stopped playing SC2 actually precisely because whenever I had it open I couldn't chat with anyone and I just got bored of only playing the game with no interaction. They're going to need to make a really nice game to get any of my money again, at least I'll be saving like 100 euros | ||

And I don't agree that it introduces more negatives, the only real negative was the spambots, but they won't exist due to the RMAH. So I'm a little confused as to why they want to do this. Oh and this "release a game, patch in the rest of the contents later." that Blizzard is doing now is pretty annoying. To be honest, I think that Blizzard is just content with making everything harder to get so they make more money. They should stop being greedy and put out a damn competent game and then with the patches / expansions MAKE IT EVEN BETTER. It's really frustrating when they continue to make the same mistakes and you read all the feedback comments ARE UNANIMOUS so do they not even read them? What the hell is going on @ Blizz HQ seriously... | ||
