I don't mind too much if there are no "starting" channels like the country channels right now, but you should really be able to meet up with people and talk to them without having to add them as friends/manually whisper them. So basically give people the ability to create a public channel.

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?


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 don't hate the new high ground, but I don't like that there's no advantage for the person on high ground if the other player has vision :S

Anyway, I like 90% of SC2, but why shouldn't I complain about the 10% I want to see changed?

It would be nice to have some kind of public channels... Like "General Chat", "2v2", "1v1", etc. Basically, channels you can go to for finding AT partners or people for your custom game etc.

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.


Get on vent pause replay at 2 minute mark and countdown.

It is because they are adding in Voice Chat instead of being able to type. Although for those with no mics they would have to allow a keyboard regardless...
So wait? I'm bad? =(

The problems with channels is that they get either spammed or you need a very restrictive limit on how many can join it.

And I don't really get how everyone here freaks out like that, you can still create chat rooms that works just the same as channels just that while there are some public channels there are no public chat rooms but the chat rooms follows you into games and such and you can have more than one open at a time.

So basically, you play a game with someone you like, you start to talk and you either join his buddies room or create a new one/whatever just like how you would join a channel if you just met someone. The only thing missing is the public channels, but those will be added later as said.

This isn't a huge deal.

As someone who really isn't excited about SC2 I'm surprised this is whats upsetting everyone. They'll have something similar and I'm going to guess most people don't use the chat channels in general. Like someone said earlier in the thread, I've been playing SC on and off since release and can't think of any situation where chat was useful.

That being said, taking it out for no reason is also stupid... So, even though I don't care much I have to be a little disapointed in Blizzard

You need chat channels that random people can join and bullshit. It really makes the community much stronger. DoW 2 has no chat channels system and it makes for a lonely experience.

This is precisely how I feel about it. I played the DoW beta, clicked the multiplayer button and... nothing. Just like 3 buttons: play auto-match game, play custom game, create custom game.

Soooooooo empty :S

And public channels ARE useful - if you have a really basic question, popping by your national channel and asking it is perfect. If you need someone to AT with? Again, useful.

Klockan, as far as I understand it, those channels you can create are only for people on your friendslist?

I want to be able to create channels everyone can join, like all the clan channels in SC and WC3. There have been tonnes of gaming channels throughout SC's history:

Brood War Kor-Namomo - back in the day, this was IT for finding good players to play (hah, I randomly got to obs fOru dozing a terran back when I was just starting ^^)

Brood War Kor-Nexus - Teamplay channel.

Brood War Ladder - Teamplay channel

op 3.33- - Much like kor-namomo, but a bit later.

I don't really remember what the others were, because once namomo sort of died, the gaming channels switched more regularly.

op ToT) on europe of course.

Anyway, I think I've made my point.

I trust Blizzard.
*Waits a few seconds*

No, I'm serious. Blizzard is a big company now, and I think it's run by people who know what they are doing. Even if they don't have public channels, you can just go and meet up with some people in-game and if you like them then friend them. Rather than go to the channel, think he's a cool guy and friend him, only to see that he's not the B- player he told you he was.
._.???

Microsoft is a big company, do you trust them? Their Games For Windows Live service does not have any kind of public chat and it sucks
