You can chat to your friends (including party chat and group chats which you create), you can whisper anyone, you can chat with people in a game lobby, you can chat with players in game. The only thing you can't do (on release) is chat in a big random room before joining a game.

Meh? I can live with that till they release whatever their planning.

You can chat with your friends but not the blizzard community as a whole. One of the big reasons Blizzard holds up for removing Lan is to unit the community.

I'm sorry, but I am completely taken back by this decision by Blizzard. Chat Channels are the best place to meet people to play game with. You honestly think people are going to want to put up with meeting people via ladder only? That or meeting people by other friends? That is completely retarded. Screw this IM shit, whispering worked fine for me.

I am so pissed right now.

I miss when you could go into a Brood War ASD-1 channel and find the top players of that country there and also challenge people for games ect. Was like that until they for some reason made you join a seemingly random number a little while ago.
Maybe just europe had active national channels but still.
Well atleast I have SC1 to fall back on if SC2 is unplayable.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

The lobby system in WC3 worked 100% fine, no need to change it. Just add new features like the IM thing.

Some people have been saying it will be like facebook (I guess? I have never used facebook or any of the other "social networking" sites) and you can only whisper people on your friends list...?

I think this is terrible, but I know others think it's great.

Sigh I don't know if I have the energy to fuss about this, I might just play and ignore the fact that battle.net 2.0 isn't really my cup of tea so far.

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.


WAIT WAIT WAIT, so you're saying there's "no" subscription but a silver service and a gold service which would give more things? I'm going to go ahead and say that'd be a one off payment but with Blizzard, you just can't be sure..

I mean, no public chat channels? Are you serious? It just seems to me like Blizzard have jacked idea's from steam, facebook and microsoft.

They delayed SC2 beta for B.net 2.0, i can only imagine how SC2 will make a great divide.

I hope they at least implement some rudimentary chat channel function.

You guys are sad -.-. Obviously they know more then you. They have better plans for chat channels and are not retarded. Use your heads, Blizzard isn't dumb.

K, fanboy, almost everyone in this thread has valid concerns. Blizzard is a bloated company now and they don't always see things clearly.

Why does it bother you so much that this bothers us?

I'm happy about 90% of SC2, so why not discuss the 10% I'm not happy with?

My big problem with this is they keep saying "not at launch".

Online replays?
"Would love to, but not at launch"

Chat channels?
"We are gonna have something even better than this, but at launch you get nothing"

You know, WC3 has gone 7 years without online replays... Do you understand why it worries me?

WAT? No online reps in war3? how do the pros communicate... its not like all the teams live under the same roof (i know World Elite does.. but thats it).

But I think we should try to just keep our faith... watever is left of it anyway.

I don't want it to be an xbox live type of system where you get to a screen to select what type of game you want and then it just says "searching for players" and you join up with random people. Sometimes you just want to chill in the channel and chat with some friends, or go to another clan channel, etc. The community aspect is what helped Blizzard's previous games to be a success and still be played today.

I don't think removing the public chat channels is a bad idea most of them are empty. -_- And no I'm not a Blizzard spy.

Because so far Everything that has been announced that's different about sc2 you guys all bitch how terrible it is. Do you guys like the being able to hide behind terrain? Do you like the watch towers? I am curious if you guys went and threw a hissy fit when that was announced too. The only thing I have been disappointing about other then beta not being released was the no replays online at launch. Otherwise I haven't heard anything disappointing yet but you all here have for some weird reason. You guys don't like the new higher ground way or nothing so I'm wondering what do you like?

I'm also worried about that "not at launch" thing. It seems to me like they are holding all that content so they could put it in expansions because people don't like to pay 50$ just for few new missions and 2 new units, so it will be like "new expansion with chat channels!" and stuff like that and that troubles me, I don't want to wait 1-3 years for something as basic as online replays, chat channels etc.
And the reason why I believe that is that they haven't changed anything after that delay. They have 6 months more to do such things but everything is still "not at launch".
