If you can make a group called "TLInvitational5" - bam, you've got chat channels - stop worrying about the chat channels, this means ALL of you. HOWEVER Why the hell are you guys not raging on this fucking issue with region locking? This is 10,000 times worse and only 1/5'th of you guys even seem to notice it, did you not read the article? This is seriously so so much worse, it's insulting, it's wrong, it's deceptive and it's greedy fucking shit to be honest. TL, stop worrying about chat, some kind of community discussion will be added, DO worry about region locking, as someone said - the high end gamers here at TL who compete over 3 regions will be forced to buy this game NINE TIMES......... nine times. that is the problem, big big time :/ | ||

In that thread, everyone immediately cried foul and pointed out that all they really wanted were private clan chat channels, which is the only place people hung out anyway. Now, Frank Pearce has confirmed that there will be private clan chat channels, but there will not be public chat channels...and everyone is baying for his blood. To be fair, perhaps they meant merely private chat channels that were not clan-related. But most of the examples people brought up were clan chat channels. Bashiok also recently posted basically that to the best of his knowledge nothing has changed in this regard, and what Browder and Sigaty said about a month ago still holds true...namely, that while they have no plans for chat rooms a la Bnet, they're planning to create a more topical, focused discussion groups with moderation. See: So...no public chat channels, but the equivalent of clan chat channels post launch, and so-called "groups" that are basically focused, moderated chat rooms, also post-launch. I fail to understand the utter rage this is creating. This rage has been building up ever since people began to become worried about the game (First Blizzcon when it was playable). Since then, Blizzard made one bullshit statement after another (No LAN, splitting up the game into three parts, etc). This was the straw that broke the camel's back. People are simply not putting up with Blizzard's direction anymore because everything they have done with SC2 is in direct conflict with how the Blizzard we used to love did things. People are finally seeing how much the company that rewrote an entire game based on fan reactions has changed. | ||

So true, so true -_- And I agree with post above me that the way blizz decided to hamper e-sports internationally is a far worse problem compared to the lack of chat-channels. But I do see why people fel insulted when he asks do you really want chat-channels, like we havn't been asking them about it in every interveiw they had >.< just make me wanna rage!!! | ||

Do you really want chat rooms? This statement is a PR disaster whether you care about chat channels or not. Of course people want chat rooms, even with their own beta feedback forums this is obvious. | ||

I haven't looked forward to a game this much since Zelda:OoT, and it seems Blizzard are doing everything they can to screw this up. How can he even ask 'Do you really want chat channels?' That is probably the most demanded feature of the whole damn B.net package, how can you have sucha community centric game without some chat channels? This just baffles me. Its like Blizzard drew up a list of all the possible ways they can mess this thing up, and just did that list. I really hope they can turn this round but I'm losing the faith in that happening. | ||

I just lost a whole lot of respect for you. "kick the developers in the nuts"???? yah sure man. Far be it for me and so many others of the community to voice our displeasure with the current version of battlenet which is what rating systems are for. I love starcraft not frank pearce, not facebook, not activision blizzard. And I will do everything I can to ensure that Starcraft 2 is the best game possible. Including finding ways for the community to voice to Blizzard our frustration since for some god knows reason they missed it so far. To be perfectly honest your position kinda reminds me of + Show Spoiler + "LEAVE BLIZZARD ALONE!" | ||

I WOULD kick whoever is responsible for all of Battle.net 0.2's fails so far. Then I would rate them a 1. | ||

I just lost a whole lot of respect for you. It's not just a "PR blunder." They haven't implemented "features" that were a part of the game 12 years ago. If people feel that these features being left out of SC2 warrant the game being a 1, then they should vote it a 1. | ||

Don't exaggerate the no chat channels problem, there will be avenues to chat, but the cross realm play decision is the true problem that will segregate the SC2 communities and it would not be the global game that WC3 used to be. | ||

No Chat channels No Cross region play No LAN, even after Battle.net validation No Real League system No Clan system Bnet 0.2 in general (no online replays, poor interface design, not being able to freind without emails, privacy concerns, poor custom map system...) Would it hurt the game more than those things? | ||
