We’re already working on concepts like “bonus XP for your first win of the day” and “extra XP when you play in a party with a Battletag or Real-ID friend”. We’re considering “bonus XP weekends” and other sorts of activities, which will be tested in the beta.

I think this is a very good thing, especially for casuals, but I even catch myself hunting for bonus xp and such in other games, even though I don't really see myself as a casual.

What do you mean by one ladder? You want to merge KR/TW/Americas/EU/SEA/China and what not into one? And then play with a few seconds of delay...?

I think it's really good idea, the kind of changes SC 2 needs in order to attract and keep casual players.

At least it is SOME reason to play the ladder, and I guess better than nothing, and as long as it is not connected to the actual ranking, I really don't mind it. I think it actually can be somewhat of a good feeling factor to be a 'high level' player.

This is very good indeed. Totally step in the right direction!

imo it's kind of the same as the system now, except more refined and linear. at least now you don't have to do random things (or ladder like crazy) just to get portraits and deacals for your race. :p

I can't really complain about a good thing that doesn't hurt anything.

They copied this from WC3, didn't they? l

EDIT: I actually like this alot since it gives massive incentive for people to play.

I am a sucker for level system, I will play more just to be at higher level.

but i wish they would have separate ladder for each race.

there will be a level 20 cap...hope it takes long to reach it

Great news to bring some casual players into the game !
Even I as master player I'm pumped about some grind (I play some MMOs from time to time) .

Doesn't matter to anyone in TL, but very positive for the game nonetheless.

The reddit thread is filled with Blizzard bitches who just immediately downvote anyone who doesn't think it's a good idea. What a retarded community.

So is this some kind of backdoor method to reduce cheese? Anytime you introduce something like this players try to play as long as possible to get the most XP

It's a nice idea, I admit I do play games more when I filling a random box for little to not benefit I can see casuals coming into hots getting into a system like this.

I don't get people saying RABBLE RABBLE CALL OF DUTY, lol. Warcraft 3 did basically the same thing. Dota2 does something similar as well. Lots of online games use some sort of leveling/progression system, not just Call of Duty, lol.

As for me, seems okay, something else to look at and keep people interested.
