If they wanted to keep everyone happy, all Blizzard had to do was maintain the status quo. Keep the original battle.net platform intact, add a few bells and whistles like clan support and such, slap on a fancy 2.0 label and ship it off to the masses. It would've been a guaranteed success, and the fans wouldn't have expected anything more.

The formula was good, so why take the risk? I'm all for advancement and progress, but the only way that's going to happen is if you build upon the original foundation. Not only is this NOT progress, we're actually at the point of regress. Un-fucking-believable.

OH.MY.GOD.

If the things keep the way they are taking, then FUCK YOU BNET2.0 FUCK YOU TO HELL.

If I end up paying $60 bucks for a good game that must be played on a stupid fucking retard server like bnet2.0 the way it seems its gonna be, im just gonna wait for ICCup 2.0 and tell my friends to do the same: boycott bnet2.0 and tell the same to your friends to tell to the friends of your friends's friends.

Blizzard seems to think that Frank Pearce has some kind of jedi mind tricks, telling us "You do not want chat channels" and waiving with your hand does not actually work outside tatooine... Yeah i can understand that Facebook maddafackin intergration generates loads of advertising, but its not much good if its at the cost of everything else.

HOW HARD can it be to implement Chat rooms................ ffs Blizzard, you're losing popularity points over stupid bullcrap.

It's not hard, they just think it is not necessary apparently.

We're not at the point of regress, we're rooted in it.

I find it funny that the number of 'Yes' votes is going up after a link to this thread was posted on the official Battle.net forums.

Archerofaiur you should move the poll back to the bottom of the post where it was earlier, so that people vote AFTER they actually read the content of the article.

I cant believe I am saying this, but I cant wait for a private server to pop up. I will jump ship as soon as possible. Blizzard is completely clueless about what the fans want.

His excuse is that the game is in 3d now. You have to transfer 3 dimensions across the internet, that's not possible with today's technology!!

I really hope you are joking.

Sigh. It's been a while I posted on TL forums. When SC II comes out, I suggest that we all go back to StarCraft:Brood War and flood the iCCup server so that its number of users is greater than that of WarCraft III / DOTA.

As much as I don't want to, do you think there would be enough support for a boycott of the game until Blizzard wakes up? I've been pondering that while using Bnet on the beta and this article just solidified the thoughts of how bad it is and made me seriously not want to buy it. I like the game, don't like Bnet2.0. I was so hopeful that it would be much different upon release and all worries would be cast aside, but now I don't think so.

After seeing this interview, I realized Dustin Browder is so good at dodging questions. But Dustin Browder did not have much to do with Battle.net, so no one should blame him for anything yet.

The entire attitude of those answers were "We know whats best for you, suck it up"

What I don't get is how they talk about bnet.2.0 as some sort of innovation that is going to take care of anyones needs, but as of now that is so far from the truth that you can't even laugh about it...
