With the whole divide thing, though, Australians have ended up with the south-east Asia region. They've been wondering why you'd choose to do that, as obviously there'll be primarily non-English people playing with them. That's an interesting challenge for us, because we want to make sure that the connectivity to the servers is such that the game experience is not impacted by a high-latency connection, and the latency between Australia and New Zealand to the servers in the US was such that we felt we would be able to deliver a better gaming experience by using their servers in south-east Asia. ROFL an interesting challenge? WELL HOW ABOUT YOU DON'T CREATE CHALLENGES FOR YOURSELF arg sorry... This is really sad. Blizzard is dumb. | ||

Thread Interestingly, my thread was moved off the "General" page to the somewhat less visible "Suggestions/Balance" forum within about 5 minutes of posting. But I wasn't deleted and banned, so please continue commenting! I will add good ideas to my OP if the thread gains momentum. | ||

In an ideal world, the Blizzard gaming community would be unified in one global region, but the technology's just not there yet. Woah, what a load of crap!! Guild Wars came out years ago and it had it all: ONE game/server for all regions, game client in many different languages, Guild vs Guild matches between teams from all around the world, Observer mode where ANYONE could spectate high level PvP matches, Chat channels organized by region (you could select and load between different european languages, northamerican channels, many asian + an international channel where people from different regions could meet outside of PvP matches). | ||

Cross-continent latency: Fuck you and your latency. If people need to filter by latency, they will do it. Or make the default server specific and have the possibility to go cross-server. Its not a big fucking deal. If people want their starcraft with worse latency but the ability to be social with all their friends, then why are you stopping them? It doesn't make any fucking sense, they could literally have the best of both worlds. Competition: Why are you making it a big deal about giving player to access the best players overall? This is a step back, its a feature that you removed from a game released a decade ago. It doesn't make any sense. And isn't jumping over 150 people more fun than jumping over one or two? wtf are they thinking, I don't know. | ||

What they have in Bnet 2.0 Automated ranked matchmaking extremely similar to WoW Arena (Can't imagine a lot of development time spent on this.) Achievement system which is from the looks of it no different from the one in WoW (Same as above). Recently swapped from TCP to UDP (Ok, this is a big one I imagine). What they've removed (by the looks of it). Meaningfull global rankings. Tournament support. Chat support. Cross realm connectivity. To me, the majority of Bnet 2.0s development has been how to best support the following goal: "How to we make the underachieving subscriber (the largest potential customer base) feel like a special snowflake and keep playing the game." Despite all their politics, bnet 2.0 is not laying the foundation for e-sports. It's trying to keep the "casual gamer" from feeling sub-par. | ||
