I approve of the idea of giving a one star amazon rating and will be doing precisely that unless I hear from Blizzard themselves that they intend to change direction.

How could he even SAY that about chat rooms?

...How else is a community like Teamliquid (or SC2Armory, reddit, etc.) supposed to interact in this "new" service at all?

Don't they see how easily tournaments could be aided by having a moderated chat channel dedicated exclusively to them?

Is Blizzard out of their minds?

Also, this interview never mentioned how the "pro" league will work. I hope to god it's not just another split-into-divisions tier above diamond.

This is all sorrowfully disappointing.

proleague wont have multiple divisons, but promotion into and demotion out of will work the same as the other leagues.

This is infuriating:

"If you have a really bad internet connection, but you have a couple of friends there...

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."

Are they even listening to the community?!?! Their goal is to make sure that we're getting the experience we want!? The experience we want is the LAN experience! We want channels to be able to communicate and find new groups to associate with! We want to be able to play across different servers and regions. Who exactly are they listening to to get the feedback about what "people" want?

What a load of crap. This sounds like the Activision-Blizzard Hegemony trying to TELL us what it is exactly that we want. I echo Kennigit: Listen. To. Your. Community.

BW was super fun. Beta has been OK. But fuck I can live without it. And I will if this is where they are going. bnet 0.5 + GOM exclusivity (fuck Kespa and all but look how it fits in with the rest) paint a clear picture of their intentions

How can Blizzard say they give a shit about competitive gaming? Every step that they've taken thus far seems to be a small group of slaps in the face to competitive gamers. Even the current UI makes competitive play through any arrangement an absolute nightmare.

This is a disgrace to the old Battle.net.


- No Clans at launch
- No Chatrooms (LOL @ the quote 'you really want chat rooms?') at launch


And the fucked up part is when talking about clans, the guy goes "groups or clans" as if clans weren't even in the picture. Screw groups. I want clan battles.

Can you imagine groups? Sounds like some carebear crap, which is exactly what WoW turned into. I was in a top WoW guild when that game was good (Before TOGC,) during Ulduar. And in this guild we all joked about how all the factions would mesh together and in the end we would all just hold hands and play the carebear theme.


Look how it's carried over. If we let Blizzard get away with this nonsense, I hope you all realize it's a deep dark turn and spiral downwards from this point.

AND lawyer crap about personal information? Give me a break I want some solidified PROOF.

Reading this interview was just ridiculous... I have been a fan of Blizzard since I was in middle school and played most of their games. I was stoked just like any of StarCraft fan when they announced SC 2 and could not believe that it was being a reality. Now it seems like Blizzard is cutting pieces of what made Blizzard and their games great in the first place.

I remember coming home from school on Friday afternoon and felt relieved that the weekend has come so I can play SC or Diablo 2. I remember going into a chat room with a bunch of regulars who I have met in games and added them on friends list. We eventually became a clan and it was so much fun to just hang out in our chat room talking about the game, strategies, playing FFA, UMS maps, etc. Now there is no chat rooms in SC2? It is no problem using ventrilo and just talk on there, but knowing that there is no chat room in SC2 just feels out of place.

What about the competitive side? The league system is nice and all, but where is this pro league that they mentioned a while back? Not to mention that we cannot interact with European, Asian, etc which is just stupid. I rather play a "foreign" player than watching replays because I am more of a hands-on type of person. I doubt I can sit through a replay and actually study my opponent because I will be bored to death. I mean, what are the chances of me trying to talk and get top players' contact info (AIM, MSN, etc)?

Actually they are. Because there are no reasons their not implementing it beyond design direction.

"2) No chat rooms"

There will be chat rooms, they're just not making launch. Probably.

[ed] So Frank was out for interviews in EU it seems (?) and said something to the effect of "no chat rooms" but there would be chat for guilds and groups. Which is more or less what was said before. That it would be more about getting people into focused discussions instead of just having free for all chat systems. In any case, I don't know a lot about it. Personally, chat rooms are soooooo 2002.

"5) Region Locking"

Here's the last thing that was said on region locking (this was Sigaty btw):

Q: How far in the 'long term' are those plans which allow for swapping to U.S. servers on an E.U. account - or a global account?
A: Jumping to the region you want is definitely in the long term plan for Battle.net, although we do have some concerns about communicating properly to the player what's happening if they choose this because it WILL affect the latency of the game. As far as a date on when, I don't have one yet. There are a number of features that we want to make sure get out their first and jumping to different servers is lower on the priority list at the moment.

" 7) Privacy Issues
Like Facebook and Google, Blizzard has been suffering its own acute privacy debacle- email addresses have been leaked"

Well now you're just making stuff up.


"and SC2 requires questionable privacy details with an unsafe EULA- being able to share details like your Facebook account, and not allowing you to 'friend' users unless you're willing to show them your "Real Name" and Facebook, etc. I hate to imagine this spilling over to D3"

Everything stated here is vaguely incorrect to flat out wrong. You can add people to your friends list without being a RealID friend with them. The choice to ask for friend invites with Facebook friends is your choice. I don't even know what 'questionable privacy details with an unsafe EULA' is supposed to mean, but it SOUNDS like I should be pretty scared now.
This guy comes off so arrogant. I can't believe his attitude in replying to these. Argument for no chat rooms is that they are "so 2002" is probably the worst reasoning ever.


Now I'm in agreement, but bashioks my favorite mod. shush bro.

Because not voicing opinions about the outrageous LACK of implementation of certain aspects will definitely get them added.

can anyone believe this thread has almost sixty thousand hits, yes 60,000 in the past 6-7hrs....
Blizz KNOWS but I am afraid they will just continue trying to tell us what we want...
I am amazed they haven't put out a public statement on the matter.. that can mean only one thing really.
