This is a pretty good example of people receiving limited information and FLIPPING OUT over it. The sky is falling, Blizzard's finished, etc.

Waagh blizzard said a feature is replaced with something better but I'm just going to rage and pretend there's no chat in starcraft 2 instead of waiting to see what they actually put in rage rage rage.

Seriously, do you REALLY think there'll be no chatting in sc2 bnet? Seriously? Really?

What's the purpose of the B.Net 2.0 then -_-

Nono -.- I didn't mean to make it sound like it has NO CHAT - it has player to player chat. They just said there wouldn't be chat channels which made me make this topic, since I was sure I must have misheard :S

This is actually not what they said...

They said "We have something better planned, but for ship, there won't be any chat channels".

I've been trying to find a video of it online so I can re-watch it, because I am hoping I just didn't hear him correctly, but as best I can tell, that is what he said.

Yeah, you will have IM style chat, which is fine, but public (and private) chat channels is a large part of why I like Bnet (and HATE games for windows live).

check out this gg.net article, it shows you what bnet 2.0 chat will look like:

imho it actually doesn't look so bad at all.

More like B.net 0.1.

They talked about "community channels" or something along those lines though (post launch), which makes it sound like IRC to me. It'd be cool if they made it work like IRC.

Idling multiple channels simultaneously yeaaa.

Hm. I feel like it was mostly disappointing because the streams were laggy, the interesting Bnet 2.0 stuff only available to people paying (or watching less-than-legal streams), and the information... unclear.

Like, I really liked what little I heard about the leagues, but I don't feel like I got to understand how they actually intended it to work.

I really did NOT like what I heard about the chat, but yet again I'm left feeling that I have no idea what their intentions are so maybe I'd like it if I did know?

I don't even know what I heard about the smurfing "issue". If "master account" means you can have several IDs tied to that, then fantastic. If not, well, not so fantastic. In fact, quite terrible.

If you (or someone here) paid the stream, you can have on-demand and rewatch whatever you want. So maybe somebody can re-broadcast the battle.net panel on livestream or something.

Good idea - unfortuantely I don't have it, and people livestreaming the PPV had their accounts shut down >_< I didn't want to pay 40$ for TWO panels I care about. If I could pay like... 5$ a panel or something I might.

I think they just mean the normal public chat channels that were in a big dumb list. If they're planning to make it like facebook or whatever nonsense, you'll probably be able to chat to people on walls or something and just generally have a more controlled environment. Less meeting strangers, but also less dealing with kids who just discovered they can say anything they want through the magic of anonymity (and mostly choose just to troll all day long).

I think they're trying to get a system where people can be held responsible for douche baggery, and your identity will be much more important than random IDs people make to be wankers.

I also meant the "no beta" news and hearing you have to pay for some user made maps. Oh and the lack of new gameplay news for Starcraft.

I'd rather have SC2 in 2010 and wait for a few extra features after release, thank you.

Removing the generic public channel list is fine, but removing public channels is certainly obscure. I like how they basically have a desktop type layout and you can message people and everything, but channels have always been a big deal. Do they figure half their audience plays on muted cd keys and can't use channels so they won't miss them? I'm perplexed @_@

Edit: .....................I understand the REASONING.....but buying maps? What the hell has this world come to?

What they're trying to do is incorporate the addictive factors that keep people playing in WoW (achievements, more personal friends/IM interface/list, non smurfable acc) to help them generate the most amount of money possible. I assume theres gonna be a subscription cost - thats gonna fucking suck. I dont want ANY of that fucking bullshit. It makes me want to not buy the game, its such a negative factor for me. But noobs like it and blizzard realise this so obv they wanna get the most money out of retards as usual and forget about those good games they used to make. Sigh.

I'm probably not gonna buy the game at all, it sounds very bad in lots of different ways - gameplay (not just chat/friends list etc).

Fucking hell blizzard, can you just make the game GOOD and cut out the 'oh but we can get more money out of people if we do this' fucking bullshit attitude thats ruining your games.


Ya so if they keep this shit up i'm not gonna recognise this as starcraft - a bit like american psycho 2 being a complete joke compared to the original.

your trolling really really bad. they have stated many times THERE WONT BE a subscription . but there will work like a silver/gold thing... just gold gives a few extra features.
