EPTNot implementing these things wont really hurt sales at launch, but it's a symbolic gesture by Blizzard that pro gamers aren't important to them.

Sc2 is still p2p, and old bnet knew exactly who disconnected. The trick is simple : bnet keeps a connection active, so when you dc you lose also connection to bnet and the other player doesn't, easy. The difference is, now disconnects are simply counted as a loss. Which is a good thing. HoN has servers that hosts games so there the model is client/server, it is superior to p2p but with the numbers we have for sc2, will you explain to a blizzard manager why he has to spend tens of milions of $ just to make it slightly better. He'll just stick with the other solution, actually inreasing sales without increasing costs. | ||

The pro's and higher skilled gamers have always lead the way in every one of Blizzard's games and how to improve them. Ignoring cross region play and the lack of chat rooms just makes me think that Blizzard thinks they know what we want regardless of what the community is actually saying.

SC2 is more than likely at the end of Beta. It's at the point where you can take what we currently have and intelligently assume this is what launch will consist of. Beta is an excuse for bugs, not for missing features such as international servers and community features such as chat rooms. I'm in the military and unfortunately I'm going to have to find a way to hack this game and play on LAN. When I head out to Afghanistan I'm may not always have the option to connect to B.net. | ||

That's not really an excuse to stop haranguing blizzard, though. Emails, forum posts, create noise and don't accept the segregation status quo. Enough attention and they might add it in. | ||
