By now, we have a single Battle.net account, with a very limited number of characters (and we haven't decided how many yet), per account.


Seems they are on the same page as us regarding this - good news
- FrozenArbiter

I thought this was interesting - your Battle.net account will be tied to your game license, so you'll be unable to just create a new account and run around and stomp low ranked players. (Unless you feel like shelling out $50 for a new SC2 license.)

What do you guys think of that?

Pathetic.

It's already been discussed to death. IDIOTIC decision. What if I want to learn a new race? What if my brother wants to play? What if I want to learn a new strategy? What if I simply want to mess around? FUCK THAT.

Why can't they f'ing make it like CNC3? One master-account and unlimited playing accounts. ;; Blizzard made the worst decision possible. T____T

As people predicted, bnet 2.0 is looking A LOT like steam.

The anti-smurfing is ok with me, but they better have some sort of anonymity feature option so well-known players can't be harassed.

Difference between this and steam is that you can still LAN on Steam games. :> Steam works because it's not intrinsically tied to a specific game like this seems to be, and that's gonna trip this up.

How is it idiotic? Great Decision by Blizzard. I remember when I used to be against this 1 account per cd key but aoe3 did it and it worked out splendid. Smurfing = down. You want to learn a new race? Play unrated. Your brother wants to play? Have him play on your account or buy his own. Want to learn a new strategy? Why play unrated!. Why do you need a new account to test strategies when you can do unrated eh? Or are you one of those smurfs who just loves to rape lower ranked players?

It's just pathetic how people complain about smurfing. If you want to play someone seriously, you should always give it your all, no matter stats, names or whatever. Allowing only one name is stupid beyond belief; what if I suddenly decide my name is no good? What if I want to be part of a small clan on the side of my main account, or just play some teamgames with my friends with a common theme for our names?
I can think of NO valid reason to why they'd limit it to one account per game. None whatsoever.
1000 at least.

You've GOT to be insane... seriously...

People use different names to learn new strategies and a new race all the time,and there's never been a problem with it.. Another fucking STUPID SENSELESS decision by Blizzard. -_-

First of all, it did not work in AoE3 at all. Everyone and their mother complained...

Second of all, what makes you think anyone will play unrated games? That almost never happens in WC3, and getting a decent opponent is even less likely. T____T

I dont think you understand how much this will fuck up progamers. Maybe from a newbie D- point of view its fine, but when your a player like nada or boxer or even jainfei your going to get harrassed to shit from people wanting to play you, or even people wanting to just bother the shit out of you because they dont like you.

With that said, I dont think they will actually go through with this. At least I believe they will have some system in place to avoid harassment/allow anonymity.

There is an ignore button I am confident it wont' be as big a deal as your making it out to be.

I get unrated games on the first starcraft fast I don't see why it will be any different in sc2.

As for the aoe3 yes people complained but it wasn't a big deal after everyone played on it and crap complaining went down and nobody cared. But of course you guys will complain your probably one of the c-b fag players who can't beat your own rank so you smurf to feel good about yourself. Blizzard made a good decision and you can hate it all you want they won't change it

I seriously hope you are right. If they go through with this they are completely insane in the head.

Blade55555: If everyone was like you, our entire civilization would be bowing to ants.. ~_~ You don't seem to understand how big of a mistake they are making. Unrated games will yield low-skilled players without motivation (hence why they are playing unrated) Progamers won't be able to play without people following them around, annoying them (even ignore isn't enough, they won't be able to go anywhere without people following them around) And it's just kind of messing up a piece of StarCraft that was necessary for practice..

Actually, this won't be a problem; you can only talk to your friends, and friend requests will have to be manually approved by the person themselves. So no Jaedong-harassing...

(This is something fine to discuss, but please...no hysteria! The panel is ongoing; don't assume stupid stuff and then get mad about it. Wait until you know something before assuming the worst.)
