Oh my god. This is about as damning as an interview can get.

Holy shit... just... wow.

I don't even know what to say, other than that Blizzard's recent motives are looking worse and worse every day. Amazing...

well.... a clan can always open a permanent game for 12 people and chat there...

i'm sure there'll be bots to invite every known contact in its friends list -.-

1 * amazon thing is childish.

Apparantly blizzard doesn't understand that the vast majority of people with friends on b.net make them ON bnet, they can't expect everyone to have friends that play SC2 as much as you do.. Naturally only 1-2 people will stay with on, everyone else will stick with the newest trend, and you make the real flist from people you meet over playing sc2.

Facebook thing indicates the same thing. Seriously, what kind of community has a facebook friends list full of people who play SC??

I think I just lost the last bit of faith I had in blizzard. God I used to like this company so much.


There are threads in the general forum.


Could you share the link please ? It seems i can't find it.

Nope. No plans for specific chat rooms at this time. You'll be able to open up chats direct with your friends, and when we add clans and groups there'll be chats for your clans and groups, but no specific plans for chat rooms right now. Do you really want chat rooms?


To be honest, "clans and groups" sounds like it will fufill the function of custom chat rooms, possibly even better than b.net1 custom chat rooms since you'll probably be able to be in multiple at once.

Sucks that they won't have it ready at launch, but then again I refuse to buy the game at launch.

He's talking about Chat Groups, not chat rooms. Blizz always said itll be more of a forum or group centered chat system

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?"

I agree 100% Very well said.

Blizzard have to start listening to the communities. do they live under a rock or what?

Frank Pearce is an executive producer, an executive producer is a producer who is not involved in any technical aspects of the game, so I wouldn't consider everything he said to be 100% accurate.

That being said, assuming he was accurate, public chat channels is imo a useless feature, they always were full of bots/spamers/idiots, I don't understand the fuss about it, but the crossrealm play politic will indeed force competitive players to buy 3 time the 3 expansions of SC2 = 9 games, totally ridiculous, it will probably discourage a lot of them.
People need to focus their petitions on the last issue and be absolutely intransigent on it.

1 amazon star thing is absolutly NOT childish. It worked against EA. It got them to remove DRM.

I'll chime in that I'm seriously worried about the future of sc2 as a serious esport game if Bnet2.0 is any indication. When you try to appease casuals and serious players you end up pissing off both.

I disagree. The features the competitive players are asking for are features that will not affect casual gamers in any way. Having chat rooms and cross server play in no way negatively affects a casual gamers play experience.


Agreed. I am a casual player and when still playing SC/BW I met some nice people by hanging around in the chat rooms.
My reallife friends never were that much into rts so I had to find people online to play with and chat rooms made it pretty easy.

And I also used cross server play since I am not working in a typically 8 to 5 shift und at night I had troubles finding people to play with on european servers during week.

Sorry Blizz, what a shitty decision, if you dont change this, you can put your SC2 where the sun never shines.

They just deleted a thread about 96% of people not liking where bnet is going. How can you even delete something like that.

I think the argument being given is that the features they have already implemented avoid the need for chat channels, not that the causal player is being affected negatively somehow by inclusion of those features. Don't get me wrong, it's complete BS, but I don't think any one is trying to make the former argument.
