The problem with all the problems is that threads where they are highlighted tend to go noticed for a few days or weeks then are completely forgotten about simply because they aren't sticked/updated and so certain things like the problems with WC3 which remained since its beta stayed as Blizzard didn't see enough repeat topics on the subject so didn't use any time to correct/fix said problem and we had to live with some of the said terrible omissions for years. As much as I enjoy blizzard games look how terrible they get things sometimes and leave them like that for years(I quit WoW cos of the constant grinding boredom and lack dual PvE & PvP ease and only now are they properly working to correct that after so so many YEARS) I don't want SC2 to suffer the same fate with a lack of polish. | ||

I agree there should be chat channels, etc, as long as they are not as "in your face" as they were in the original Battle.net. There's nothing like entering the game and immediately being bombarded by hundreds of people posting, cursing, and acting like internet trolls to turn a new player off of the experience. The more "single-player" esque Battle.net start screen is probably intentional, for this reason. Also, I actually really like the custom game support. It's much, much, much better to have custom games organized under one heading than it is to have a million "DOTA ALLSTARS NO NOOBS!!!" panes clogging up the game list; perhaps some other relevent game-type information (like speed, difficulty, or whatever) might be in order, and more ways to categorize things under different headings...but I like the basic system a lot. The issues you seem to have could (and will be) all be easily resolved with the addition of chat channels, more people to invite, and a whisper system, etc. | ||

Man I pray that blizzard reads this (and I don't pray) Always connected my ass. Connected to the server maybe, but what about the actual community? (The real reason to connect to the server) | ||

You are not supposed to make friends in chat but to test the game. I am sure that the bnet on the final game will be slighty different. | ||

EDIT: What crate said, at the same time as me  I'm glad someone noticed  While this is "a solution", it's not great. You end up with ZvP -- a matchup the first person likes, but the second does not. --oberon | ||

I could have sworn that I heard from the SC2 development team, that there is going to be channels or if you'd like to call them chat lobbies. I would be really surprised and angry if there was no channels, but again I'd like someone to confirm 100% that there are not going to be channels. Until than I take this post as a rumor. | ||

The inability to view the ladders of anybody but yourself and your friends is a pain though. | ||

As for the matchmaking, it seems to do its job. I am disappointed that they didn't allow for the option to pick matchups (NOTE: I do not mean to pick your opponents race, I mean to pick YOUR race for each specific matchup - instead of picking T I could pick TvP, TvZ, PvT, TvR) but I wasn't expecting this to be available. This is one of the things I really wanted to see, it wouldn't have to be exactly like that but at least set a "Matchup preference" like you can do now with "Map preference" or some more detailed matchup preferences, I'd do anything to play less ZvZ's. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what to think of the matchmaking system yet, people in Platinum sometimes gets in Bronze games and stuff. 1. The plat guy doesn't want that at all. 2. The Bronze guy most likely doesn't want that. Of course, this is probably just due to the current population in beta, there aren't that many games so the matchmaking service has to expand the search really far, so it's hard to judge that yet. | ||

Hopefully that little greyed-out 'social' tab will contain the answer. | ||
