It's pretty much the same as unlocking new portraits and decals with X amounts of wins.
It feels like they're getting desperate trying to add new features.


and how is that a bad thing?

Because it doesn't add anything new to the game. They could add different kinds of rewards for the XP system, not just recolored portraits.

Wtf? How the fuck is this like Call of Duty? There are no perks or game-altering mechanics gained when leveling. Decals and portraits don't affect your playing experience at all, in case you hadn't figured that out yet.

This is a step in the right direction for motivating more people to play and stick with it, especially people who don't particularly give much of a shit about ladder points.

awww yeah
This is a good thing for casual players, it gives decals, portraits etc... and it doesn't hurt balance and pro-level of the game. I just wonder there'll be three different ladder for each race ( Which we asked them for ) or not.

And i think people should stop complaining about LAN, chat channel, clan support etc... or said this is like LoL CoD system etc... just do some research or read it over before posting crap :S

I think its awesome, because you will most likely also get xp for losses, therefore your brain still flushes out some reward hormone/endorphine stuff. In my opinion this could have a bigger impact on motivation than many people think.

This definitely doesn't hurt anything, but how is this gets released before a clan system for example, before something that people actually asked for.

There's one thing we need to learn about this world.
If 1+2=3 is called good, then 2+1=3 is also marketable.

"You’ll earn XP for the race you’re playing with each unit you build or destroy. Experience is awarded at the end of the match, and accumulates as you level up from 1 to a maximum level of 20 for each race."

I really don't like that this will affect how some people choose to play the game. Containing a player on one base, taking the map, maxing, killing your army, and then remaxing just to get more exp seems horrible. I like the idea of leveling and unlocking stuff, but I really don't think anything you do in game should affect it. As much as I don't like cheese, people shouldn't be discouraged from cheesing by outside factors, or encouraged to macro for that matter.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

Pointless garbage.
Although the concept of XP is great, you are giving me something that I can get right now by playing x amount of games...
How is this different?

I wish blizzard would stop hiring morons and fix this game already

won't help the casual scene that much as there's no reward that would help you in game. These are just gonna be more portraits and decals and other stuff that will have no impact on the actual game itself. Might spark a little something for the casual players, but the game will still fade away for the casuals like WoL

Why are they wasting time with stuff like this when chat channels still suck and we still can't watch replays together?

Seems like Blizz does care
Should be good for the casuals.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Are you serious? :D Just "gg" and leave the game if you're on one base and suspect that your opponent has taken the whole map. Also, people who will adjust their playstyle to gain more XP or whatever will be doing what casual gamers do - having fun. If you have a problem with that, get into Master/GM.
