I wonder how this thread would be looked at in the future if their new "group" and "clan" chat is actually better than random chat channels.

Yeah, I've dropped all plans of buying this game, too.

To give you an idea of how huge that is, I've been looking forward to Starcraft 2 for over a decade, drawing sketches and models to try and imagine Starcraft 2 in 3D. However, I just can't be a part of this milking of Starcraft fans anymore. I can see the direction this is taking, and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth, I'd rather get my entertainment elsewhere.

Confirmed - Singapore is region locked. Lets make that 12 games you need to own in order to play globally.

I don't know if this has been discussed before in this thread, as its 100 pages long.. but anyway here i go:

Starcraft 2 beta was going to be released summer 2009, I remember I and everybody was super excited:



0:39, here's HDstarcraft being hyped for example, i remember there was an NDA etc)

Then it was delayed because bnet wasn't finished. so they worked on bnet 2.0 for half a year. What did they have as bnet summer 2009? it couldn't have been non-existant, no one plans to release a beta if there isn't a platform to play it on. It couldn't have been a mistake to forget that "woops we forgot to make bnet". Somewhere they decided, "no let's make bnet like this instead".

tbh I'm thinking of maybe not even buying the game even though I was planning on being really competitive at it... (I'm a B-/B starcraft player). They're simply being disrespectful and overgreedy on the players and I can't accept that. 1 star @amazon for sure.

i also canceled my preorder. Its kind of sad, because im playing the beta now for 4 weeks and i love the game. But with all the issues discussed here, i think this game is developed just to squeeze out money. Maybe not right now from the beginning, but as time goes on.
Im really getting angry about the people defending blizzard/activision. I mean, they are a big company. They know what they are doing. There is no way that they thought chat isnt so important. There is no way that they thought, people werent getting angry about no lan/no crossrealm play etc. And they pulled it off anyway. Because they can do. Because this game will be sold millions of times. Because most of the people dont care. Really makes me sad that they are getting away with this


100% agree

preorder canceled
waiting for crack in the first week t play singleplayer
waiting for crack to play lan / cracked server for (maybe long) time

if there wont be cracked servers / lan option, who the fuck cares... not so much time wasted.
sc2 would be the first game i would have bought since half life 2 (incl. tf2 etc). but we dont want chat channels? ofc we dont but so you fuckerz dont want our fucking money!

Yea I canceled my pre-order. No way are they getting my money while not caring about their customers.

I would also like to know if there is a way to do this. I would like to let them know that I am not buying the game and why.

I wouldnt go that far as not buying the game itslef... but what really pisses me off is that they dont say WHY some things are not implemented, when they answer its always diplomatic and isnt a real answer at all...

Join the club dude, when SC2 was announced I was really pumped. When I was 14 or so, I qualified and was given an invitation to go to CPL for War3x in Texas, my parents told me I was just too young to play pro yet.

When SC2 beta was announced, I started massing games since patch 4 or so. To date I have roughly 3100 games players of all types but mostly 1v1, watched every day9 daily since sc2 was being showcased there (back when he was looking @ CowGoMoo's Terran play with sharing tech structures,) I've been in a couple showcased matches on the streams, watched ITL, HDH, the TLI, Altitude, been in countless craft cup and zotacs.

This whole story since it dropped, I've bleed my soul into watching it develop and posting my opinions, and now I'm just disgusted. I don't know if I want to even try to make it in a Blizzard environment. Playing a game turning out like this feels like it would be a disgrace to the community almost, which is pretty sad.

Just to note that I feel disgusted with such an interview and with this kind of plans for a game I waited so long to play.

Don't think I'll buy it with these conditions. For me, the main problem in all of them is the lack of LAN play.

It surprises me that with the objective to make the "Ultimate Esport Experience" ever, they take away LAN play. Training with friends in 0 latency games is fundamental. Not to mention tournament organization as Husky well pointed out. And the excuse: "piracy"!? Piracy will happen with or without LAN support. It is inevitable, Neo.

Really disappointing.

Hahahahahaha are you serious?
Oh man oh man.

Such garbage... PC gaming forced into a regression with massive feature cuts even by developers like Blizzard who think WoW subscriptions don't make quite enough money. If ANY company could afford to make Sc2 and its multiplayer platform real top notch without cutting all these features, it was definitely Blizzard. Well guess what, we're proper f.....

The thing is... Blizzard made a top notch game and a (by comparison) top notch platform 13 years ago when they were actually relatively poor.

The hardcore of the hardcore seem to be the smallest portion of the pie to please. Probably because they're the ones with the highest, almost ridiculous, expectations.

In any case, when 2.0 reaches their expectations, they'll buy the game and totally forget every single piece of trash they typed out on forums in a fit of rage. Sad, really.

So quick to pull the trigger instead of sitting patiently. Theres more going on behind the scenes, I'd wager, than Blizz has made public. So calm down, go ahead and cancel your preorder in "protest", ill see you online a few months after release.

Expecting Battle.net 2.0 to have at least as many features as Battle.net 1.0 is your definition of "ridiculous expectations"?

I dunno FA, expecting crossrealm today when we could have it 10 years ago sounds pretty ridiculous to me. But what do I know.. Frankie told us the technology's not there yet (lolol).

In other news white knights are just trolling.

Rage is just people wanting the sequel to their favorite game not to suck, it's drawing dangerously close to release and all indicators point to Bnet 2.0 = huge fail.

Exactly, trust me you don't have to an "Hardcore" fan/player to expect the most basic functions from Bnet 2.0 when they were in the original.

Were you born stupid?
It's the hardcore that kept the game alive for so long, is it really too much to ask for the same features that were already in Bnet 1.0 and which clearly almost everyone wants back in Bnet 2.0.
Without the hardcore you wouldn't even have tournaments, decade old updated community websites, so I'm wondering... what the fuck are you even doing here since you're amongst the hardcore.

One more thing that bothers me: Blizzard's stated reason for region locking is that the latency between regions is unacceptably high, but then Frank Pearce accepts purchasing a second copy of SCII as a legitimate method to get around the region lock? Shouldn't this be against the terms of use if latency is the actual concern here? Blizzard, you're really leaving me with only one conclusion that I can draw...
