Chat Channels: I don't care. As long as there is some sort of clan communication chat channel or some other specific purpose, fine, but public ones are a waste. Admittedly, I have on rare occasion gotten into a conversation with some people in a pub chat channel, but if I'm on my computer with sc/sc2 loaded, I'm interested in playing, not chatting with randoms. Also, spam generally takes them over. Region lock: I in some ways I can understand blizzard's position, I mean historically speaking a lot of people don't play on "their" server for no apparent reason, but this is going to be extremely annoying to deal with in terms of competitive gaming/tournaments. Just out of curiosity, what is up with the "semi-subscription" for brazil and russia? I've heard of this before, just wondering why. | ||

A Topic was made in The Beta Suggestion/Feedback forum, post in it! More people that post, the more attention we get! This is Bull@#$%, Chat Channels were the Heart of Battle.net! | ||

Agreed! Hit them where they'll definitely feel it! I'll definitely do this. Archer, put this into your OP! | ||

edit: I just can't understand how such great new technology (the actual game, internet) comes with stupid old stuff like regionlock. | ||

Might have exaggerated but clearly there are so many aspects of the game, and especially the new Battle.net which people are resenting. | ||

Reading between the lines they are basically going to charge extra for anything and everything (just like wow) instead of delivering a complete game. The whole chat room issue is completely misunderstood, it is not about match making it is about being part of a crowd. When Joe the Newbie logs on for the first time he is all alone and will play a few games without saying anything but 'gg' (if he even knows what that means) and will get tired of it fast because you are basically all alone in that big world. The country channels were not ideal in BW, but they were certainly better than nothing. | ||

Edit: Not to say chat rooms aren't important, but you could live with that one coming down the line, region lock is diametrically opposed to the growth of eSports, which is why the news about HDH Invitational on SC2 homepage is so hilarious. | ||

Add chat rooms Allow cross server play B.net 2.0 fixed and pretty much perfect. The reasoning behind the division thing is absurd. What I want is a good overview of how good I am, not a fake feeling of belonging somewhere. Have some weird division thingy for the lower non-competitive leagues, but for diamond leage it should be removed. Pretty much all players there are/will be competitive players. The reasoning behind no chat rooms seems to be two things: 1. Everything else with b.net2 is so good it isn't needed; and 2. They don't understand that we actually want it. Problems: Facebook integration and instant messaging services are not even combined as good as normal chat channels. And it's funny, because we've been saying since the release of the beta that chat channels will be needed. It's the biggest issue! Chat channels make organising tournaments and clan wars MUCH easier. And that is an integral part of the competitive community. The reasoning behind no cross server play seems to be "We don't want to you to experience terrible lag." Fine. Then let us choose on what server we want to play on. If it's too much lag on US, I'll gladly play on EU. No problem. But why not allow me to make the decision on what's playable and what's not? After all, I'm the player. | ||

According to a past interview they removed the feature due to spam. Ok I buy that for the broodwar USA-57 and the like, but they remove all private chat rooms due to the crappy public ones? No cross-realm play... They removed the ability to switch realms due to lag, and complain about the technology not being there, but yet we've been one giant global community for over a decade. Oh but if you buy a second copy of the game its ok to play on other realms, because you know lag issues go away if you buy the game twice. No local hosted content... This just seems like a move to get map devs to buy extra space to host more maps. because the best way to get people making content for your game, is to charge them for the privilege. Please tell me there will be iCCup for SC2. | ||

I am not buying this game if this is what bnet 2.0 is going to be like. The gameplay is great, don't get me wrong, but I will not put up with this shit. | ||

That functionality's not there. Our goal is to make sure that connectivity to the Battle.net servers is such that that's the experience that people want. I love this one, did he even listen to the question or did he just supply the answer Blizzard has been sticking with since the beginning. Some people cannot have access to 100% stable connections or connections that can support more than one or two people playing, Blizzard is outright telling them 'we don't care because the Battle.net servers are aiming to be the experience people want'. The experience people want, actually Blizzard, is lag free play, and in many numerous cases true complete LAN is the only option. If their goal with BNET 2.0 is to reduce piracy then they would include LAN capability, not doing so is inviting the 'hacking' community to create LAN modification for SC2. | ||
