I just hope you can make a channel, like, "Teamliquid" and anybody can join it (even if you are not friends).

didnt they follow that up with something like they plan to make more specific channels soon after release? Such as like, since they know TL is a huge community, they will make a TL channel... etc. I thought that is what I heard (without the example of TL)

Don't really care, IRC has always taken priority over bnet or any other service for gamers anyway.

edit: At least in Europe.

I meant replays hosted online on blizzard servers that are accessible by everyone.

Did everyone somehow manage to miss the whole "chat-with-your-friends-whenever" thing?

Really, it's not a huge deal; chat channels are almost impossible to follow, and Battle.net will have improved connectivity over the original anyway, in all parts of the game (including, almost definitely, clan support). At the very least, I'd wait to get mad until we know more about how the system works...

They are revamping it, so it really only means one thing:
At launch you'll have Party Chat, Private chat (Messaging with to people on your friends list) and game chat.
However, after launch they will implement a Group chat, where people can setup 'groups' and people can subscribe to that group. Like TeamLiquid would make a TeamLiquid Group and then members can subscribe to that group and talk like normal chat, however each group will have admins which can add group unique features such as news, bulletins, and even manage who is accepted in the group or not (i.e. you can have private groups).

What do they mean by chat channels? Like you can't type "/j op tl-west" and talk to other people in "op tl-west"?

Blizzard baffles me, they should just drop the name Blizzard and just call themselves Activision. Whatever happened to "it's done when it's done"? Just why the hell are there no chat channels, a BASIC commodity that isn't even fucking hard to code and make??!! Revamping the system isn't even a good excuse, they can just give a damn chat channel like the old Battle.net while they make their revamps.

I still have yet to hear a single good reason on why there are no online replays either, its all full of bullshit.

Yea, This is really absurd if you can't create your own private channels... I can't count the number of people I know from just meeting up in channels by chance. How the fuck am I supposed to find those people if they don't know where to meet me? lawl

Not having public channels that you are automatically placed in is not a problem for me. However, if I can't join a channel with a bunch of other people it would be pretty terrible.

I am not going to freak out about it until beta/ launch. I can't imagine them not having chat channels that people can join similar to popular clan channels on bnet now.

Better != Better. You don't understand, the larger a company gets, the more distorted its perception of what better becomes.

EDIT: In retrospect, if its something like how they did WoW channels then it should be alright.

how did they do it in WoW?

Well what I'm thinking of from WoW is you could basically create your own set of channels and autojoin them everytime you login and whatnot. Then from there you can moderate them, make them public/private, and any number of people could join them. Its similar to what we have now with bnet but a lot easier to manage and a lot better since you can be in more than one channel at once.

We can see a 'party chat' thing from bnet2.0 thread. That's really nice especially when you want to create games with a group of friends and have them in the game before any other slots are taken. But I hope that 'party chat' isn't the only form of group chat Blizzard gives us.
