Anyone who's played Halo 3 can tell you that replays are way more fun to watch together. Omg no, Xbox Live or Windows Live totally suck ass compared to bnet 1.0. Judging from your post content and postcount you must be a console gamer... Additionally, using halo 3 as an example why online replays are much more fun on the biggest SC1 fansite around doesnt seem like a clever way of arguing  | ||

I don't have a single friend right now on battle.net because the only way to get them is to either have someone in real life who is in the beta, or find one on a forum I happen to frequent. | ||

Overall rankings are also a big deal. Being ranked solely in tiny little groups really does nothing, as I cannot see that rating as having any real meaning. 100 people when b.net will have 50k+ players playing SC2 at the same time? Great I am ranked in a group of people most of who I have never played before (because what are the chances that of all the players on the ladder you will get to play one of the 100 in your specific division?). Yeah that's really great way to see how I am ranked. Makes no sense what so ever. No game names is also an inexplicable step backwards. Combined with no lobby chat it becomes far far worse. I hope Blizzard fixes these issue before release. As is, the new B.net sounds barely usable. | ||

please for the love of god Blizzard just implement the absolutely amazing features/platform that Heroes of Newerth uses! and also the ability to reconnect after crashing/disconnecting would be great (mostly useful for custom games, but on occasion if you can come back fast could be useful on ladder too) | ||

However, Blizzard has always done a great job of implementing features/fixes post-release. All of these features probably can and will be implemented with enough beta feedback. Keep in mind features are limited because this is, in fact, a testing phase. In SC, the replay feature was not released until 1.08 and other little enhancements were added in the original battle.net interface as things progressed. This is not an accurate representation of the finished battle.net 2.0, nor will it be when the product ships. | ||

I'm starting to lose faith in B.net 2.0 =( hope they'll do something about it. Is it official and permanent that chat channels will be out? Or can we at least hope for their implimentation? Same question for reps online? | ||

I even linked to a post about it. . You make it sound like you're the only one following the game. Your post links to information saying that the traditional chat channels won't be there, but: "Because we have something much bigger planned, chat channels are messy". It is common sense that there is going to a way to mass communicate with people. Maybe it won't be called a "channel", but it is ridiculous to think they won't allow players to communicate with ease. You are going off what Blizzard says as fact, right? "You realize, of course, that they said at Blizzcon that there would be no chat channels for the game at launch?" So, you managed to take half of what they said, and misconstrue it. You are part of the reason people are getting so much false information. If such an article, loaded with misinformation, is allowed to be posted on the front page of the premier foreign SC site, what does that say? Just stop, breathe, and think. Blizzard has already promised an alternative. It is confirmed in your own post. | ||
