This trend is really making me worry for Diablo 3. I have been looking forward to D3 for over half a decade (much like w/ SC2), and seeing just how much Blizzard is dropping the ball and intentionally fucking up (like trying to kill KeSPA so that SC2 won't have competition in Korea) makes me fear for what they might just have in store for D3.

Like I said originally, I really feel that we should get set up, but just threaten at first. A polite thread on B.net SC2 Feedback forum would do the trick. Simply stating our case. There's no reason to actually go ahead with it unless we have to.

Your vote: Would you give SC2 a one star amazon rating to protest BNET?

(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No




I like this idea, but not until after release since we need to give them time to improve. Stuff like this actually works too, as I remember when someone went on Fox news slandering Mass Effect and saying a bunch of false information about it, her books were all rated 1 star on Amazon, and it got to the point where she publicly apologized and admitted she actually never even knew anything about the game at all and was just put on Fox and told to say bad stuff about it.

No chat channels is fucking terrible.

I ain't big on knowing everyone from TL, but like on iCCup... I would want a game, but instead of just finding random ladder game, I would hit the training channel and try to find someone low skill first... so I had fun.

This shouldn't be as much an issue with the new systems, but I did frequent games with some people.... I'm sure I can go 'Hey! Good game, wanna be friends?' and all... but it isn't the same.

Just seems pants-on-head-retarded to not add chatrooms.

Hell even for the whole 'Bnet across all games' thing, chatrooms would be awesome. Maybe I wanna play WoW and talk SC2 while I grind.

=\

Like the game, dislike that decision.

Well to my knowledge we can't vote until July 27th anyways.

Someone will need to repost this a day or two before to remind the community

The fans should just threaten to do the "Death by a Thousand Amazon One-Stars" like the Spore community did over the DRM issue. That certainly got a response out of EA quickly, and it would probably work against Blizzard as well.


Everyone read this.


could you please explain what it is or something? give some info?
tried to look it up in google, but to no avail

Get every single TL member to give SC2 a 1 star rating on websites like amazon. That would definitely scare blizz because that could effect sales numbers


That's the best thing to do I guess.
It's a shame we have to come to this though.

the best bliz post title should probably be something like: "Voters To Hurt SC2 Sales", and then show a link back to this poll, have thousands of voters and thousands of thread views on the bliz post

Blizzard is actually deleting topics created on their feedback forums about these things now.

This guy being interviewed has me worried for the state of battlenet. "Blah, blah, blah, battlenet is a community!, blah", directly contradicts "It's not like Australians need to talk to people to have fun right?"

This is just pathetic. We need to get a real interview with these guys and ask them some serious questions like "How do you respond to the sentiment that you guys are completely out of touch with what the community wants?" and "Why is there no plan to add LAN, chat rooms, cross-region playing, etc... when the community overwhelmingly demands it?" and "Why does Blizzard keep insisting that Battle.net 2.0 is the "next big thing" when the majority of the fanbase prefers Battle.net 1 in almost every way?"
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Well Frank, do you want me to buy your game?

Always thought blizzard was kinda cool, 'cause they developed the games i loved, but the tone of this inteview is so ..... blah i don't know. for me as someone who works in the service industry and has direct customer contact i just can't understand how blizzard thinks such an interview would male them look cool or whatever.

i think i'm just really really disappointed in blizzard


Yeah, I seriously wonder what the purpose of this interview was from Blizzards pov. Other than to piss people off that is...

How can you possibly fuck your game up by having a bad server. It's just crazy. They're actually ruining a very adequate RTS by not making changes that any amateur programmer could implement in an instant.

Pretty much Blizzard saying HA, us players are too small to affect what they are doing. Blizzard, we are not taking this well. In history, the angriest mobs are the most dangerous. Even if we represent a small faction.

So what is the community going to do when Bnet2.0 becomes a paid subscription like WoW?

We all see the play time expiration counter in the UI. Can we really continue to ignore that?
