Blizzard spent so much time on RPG they forgot how RTS work. Party links? No chat channels? Facebook? MSN chat only? No clan support? No LAN ever?

Tell yeh, If sc2 wasen't getting large amounts of popularity from a tournament standpoint (along with the prize money) Id go straight back to broodwar.

+ Show Spoiler +
One of the things that people have asked about is if it would be possible to change your name on Battle.net, or reset your stats?

In terms of your profile on Battle.net? Nothing specific planned for launch, but definitely something that if there's a big demand for it, then we can certainly consider it, and we'll see what the community reaction is to the feature set when we launch.

That'll possibly be similar to how World of Warcraft does it, then?

Sure. Maybe. Yeah. Depends.


So I just need to pay $20-25 to change my name. Whenever I want to add or remove a clantag I have bring out my PayPal? I hope that you can add / remove clantags for free.

And another thing, bring back the chatrooms! Seriusly why'd they remove them in the first place. I don't just wanna chat with my friends all day long.

Makes me sad that he seems to be so blatantly ignorant about tons of things. All he wants to do is to make sure the casuals get waht they want, then he doesn't care about anything else.

Hey Blizzard, April 1st was two months ago pretty much.

It's not that this is unexpected at this point, it's just that part of me was hoping that maybe the "wanting to please the community first" part of Blizzard was still there.

Assuming this is real, of course.

Would it even be possible to have lag free cross realm competition with the current internet infrastructure? The stuff about chat rooms is fkn retarded tho, how many people are actually against adding them....doesn't seem like they heard "every voice" on that one

I'd be exceptionally suprised if this is a legit interview. If it is then it just makes me more resolved that Blizzard as a company are completely non interested in the communities surrounded their games unless it directly benefits them as a company.

Basically just confirming what we have already come to suspect and fear.

Blizzard clearly have no idea what the "community" wants. Just a bunch of money grabbing faggots.

The way he answered those questions seemed terribly unprofessional. It felt like as he was answering the questions he was simultaneously spitting in the communities face and denying us the things we desperately need to spite us....

Perhaps we should all cancel our preorder (not like I did already), maybe when they see they lose millions they kick this guy off the team. That is.. if he's still on the team. Those decisions can't be real...

Alright guys, let's make some noise and let them know where we stand.

I cringed.
Did they interview some kind of intern at Blizzard? Must be a joke interview.

I've been extremely positive about the Battle.Net 2.0 and hoping that they're able to fix all the current big problems and that its just a beta, nothing to worry about right now.

This person called "Frank Pearce" just crushed all of my hopes, good bye the big esports title that could take over all of europe and us form it together with asia so it could become the biggest ever esports title finally taking it to the same level as in Korea everywhere in the world.

Fuck you Blizzard. Fuck you for making a great game but failing to make a platform to play it on.

Lets start playing ice hockey on the fucking lawn while we're at it.

Aside from confirming chat rooms will not have a place in bnet 2.0, this interview didn't reveal anything people haven't already figured out intuitively; but damn, the way he answered those questions just made me feel depressed and betrayed.

Bad news, This Frank Pearce character is legit according to Wikipedia.. not alot on him though..
Frank Pearce is one of three men who founded Silicon & Synapse in 1991, the company that went on to become Blizzard Entertainment. He is still with the company as a senior vice president. He is the executive producer of the video game, World of Warcraft.
He received his bachelor's degree in 1990 from UCLA.[1][2]

..This is Starcraft not world of warcraft :/

Well how much more proof do you need that Blizzard don't give a fuck about you anymore ? (to those still defending Blizzard's ass)

Seriously... What a crock of shit =[
