step by step is blizzard moving away from once being a brilliant company.
I feel very sad about this progression. I wanted to begin the next sentence with "i hope..." but i lost all hope in blizzard. i can't even express my frustration and disappointment anymore.

Blizzard already knows what we want. They're just ignoring us.

They must have cow poo where their eyes should be if they haven't seen what the community actually wants, however its not like they can just say on the interview that "Meh the community wants a. but because of monetary things and catering to the casual players playing for the first week we're still taking b. LOL!"

I wouldn't call myself a fan of his work


Fair enough, I'm just shocked at people asking who he is.

I wish people would at least take a look at his list of works before they pass him off as just a WoW developer: http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,9165/

I don't want to come off as an asshole but the fact that they won't implement offline play or chatrooms enrages me, my internet dies alot and are down for several hours without any chances of getting it back up and i don't even get to play offline skirmishes against computers?!

I don't like what Blizzard is doing with all of this, they are ruining Battle.net 2.0. It has potential but if they are too stubborn to add chat channels then they are pretty fucking stupid.

When will they realize that people want to be able to communicate with other players on a online game???



^ This
Honestly wtf is blizz thinking? Clearly they DON"T care about the community and what we want. We scream for open chat channels and blizz gives us what? Fucking FACEBOOK integration!?!

I don't even know what to post I'm so enraged. How could they boast about making this amazing community without having cross server play and chat channels to talk to people?

We really need to stand up and make our voices heard if we want to change this. The biggest enemy of the nerd is apathy. We will continue to get balls of crap from game developers like this unless we take a stand. A boycott would get their attention for sure.
Fair and balanced.

I really didn't think it would come down to that but man.. even if I started to get bored of BW I much prefer playing a game that won't be fucked around with by retarded developers that just don't listen to the community for the heck of it.

This.

Also doesn't make sense for them to make it so you have to buy the game multiple times to access multiple servers. This will have a HUGE effect on the growth of the game and in the end it will just backfire big time. It's not like a mmorpg where you can comfortably play on one server, how big would football be if everyone just played inside their own country and there were never international leagues?

As much as I love starcraft, I just feel like they are trying to kill it themself.


Who needs good functionality when you have achievements and facebook integration?

Depends on whether or not it's something the community really wants. [Laughs]"

Good joke.

So, are they totally oblivious to the tournaments that are currently being played in the beta? It is the most fun to see the European style vs American style vs Asian style... How will the top Europeans ever catch up to the Asians when they can't practice with them. If we look at the servers in WC3 the Asian server is by far the most competitive, and only because of leagues like WC3L where players from all over the world play online is it possible for some Europeans like Grubby to compete with the Koreans/Chinese.

How disconnected and dumb are these people? How do you get a job at such a highly-regarded game development company without having any passion for your own products and the hardcore community that surrounds them?

Do I really want to buy this game?

I am very worried with the way all this is going. There are major flaws which we have had multiple discussions about here and on their forums with the new and improved BNet 2.0, but they are missing the points which allowed SC to go for 10 years.

The opt out thing really bothers me, as does the partnering with facebook due to the whole selling of information bit that went on.

We should all call their support lines, until they get the point that having chat rooms is a requirement for the community to actually like their game.
