What I *THINK* they said, however, is that they wouldn't have Brood War USA-1 or op ToT), that type of channel. Unless I misheard, during the Bnet 2.0 panel they said there will NOT be chat channels for Bnet 2.0 - not at launch anyway. Why? "Because we have something much bigger planned, chat channels are messy". Can someone please tell me I misunderstood them? I hope they AT LEAST have country channels. | ||

It really doesn't make much sense to not have chat channels at all. I'm not a fan of the "we'll have it eventually, just not at launch" statement that Blizzard uses sometimes, given how long "eventually" turns out to be for the company. | ||

What we do just mass games off the AMM system and never talk to anyone but ingame? That sucks ass, and is boring as shit. How also can we ever obs a game if you can't talk to people and find out there playing? What they have a button to join a random game to obs? That's how games for windows live works - fucking retarded system.

Blizzard is continuing down the path of 'hey lets copy what is working for these guys' instead of improving on what they currently have. Next big announcement will be "Players won't have names anymore and chat will be limited to a few phrases in a dropdown box - We feel this will cut down conflicts in game and promote friendlier gamers. Plus we have big plans for this later on". Ala the Windows online games (poker, checkers, etc). | ||

It's not a stress on the server, no more than a normal game anyway. | ||

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... | ||

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). | ||

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. | ||

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). | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

*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. | ||

I'm a little sick of this, "something bigger planned". My expectations are fucking high as hell now, and its gonna be damn hard to meet, seeing as I can BARELY afford to buy a desktop that is somewhat capable of running the damn game (which i wont do until release)... Starcraft has the winning formula, IMO lets just add some nice bells and whistles and move along... | ||

You would be able to unlock and customise the models to use. Eg, you might start only being able to be either a Probe, SCV or Drone. Racial models would not stop you from talking to other racial models, as its just an avitar. As you win games with a race you can unlock more advanced models. You can pick the color and decal for the model you selected. Outside in the 3d space would be considered he general channel. You could enter different buildings, which are all different topics. Basically wow if you could not leave the capital city lol. You could join parties (like in the b.net reveal from blizzcon), challenge people (or a quick 1vs1), or launch a game from within the environment. I personally would be happy with something more simple and just chat based, but his crazy theory is starting to make me really wonder what their up to o.O | ||

First of all, the only reason they would do that is if Blizzard was planning on making a World of Starcraft, and eve Rob Pardo said in last year's blizzcon that "an SC MMO just doesnt make sense". Second, how do the screens from the Bnet revealing fit in with the theory. It all looks menu based to me, just like XBOX live or steam. I dont want to start a big debate because your brother said something, however you do raise a good point.. wtf is Blizzard planning? | ||

I don't think I would ever enter the chat rooms if this was the case. I never understood this whole 3d environment anyway, especially for web browsing. So I hope they don't turn in this direction for chatrooms. | ||

I bumped the chat channel thread on battle.net a couple times tonight to try and keep the issue alive. Not having chat channels ready by the time the game launches just seems unacceptable. If Facebook/aim were a better way to communicate with people in war3 I would have used them there, but the clan and public chat channels acted as a gathering spot where people could wait or just stop by in between games without needing to take extra steps to talk to people(whom might only be on your friendlist). POINT: Super angry they are probably taking steps backwards here. | ||

btw spork they've said that they do want to add this stuff for release (it may be after release, not sure), but they didn't want people sitting around chatting in beta, they wanted us to test the game instead | ||

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't they say there won't be public chat channels pretty much since the introduction of the very first Bnet2 screenshots? Didn't hear the "bigger plans" excuse yet but that they don't want public chat isn't exactly news right? | ||

Also, I still find it absolutely incredibly just gut-wrenchingly retarded that there won't be any chat channels. It's just... I'm at a complete loss of words really. Oh wow no I didn't. Browsing with images disabled has its drawbacks.... | ||

BNET 2.0 Actually they said in Dev chat 30/4 that : Clans are definitely something we plan to implement in the future. No specific date has been identified yet. They will likely correspond with the first expansion or a future patch. So what that means to clan chat or clans is beyond me. | ||
