So uh, why stop at the features they're gutting?

What about basic shit like being able to reconnect to a game you've dropped from? If you're going to take away lan, gimme a carrot to replace it with.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

This cross-realm bullshit pisses me off to no end. On top of this, living in Australia forces me to play on the Asian server of which I get 500ms to rather than the US.West server of which I get 180ms? Are they aware of how HORRIBLE the routing is to Asia from AU/NZ?

My only solution is to create a new Battle.Net account and then risk my well earned and spent money on not seeing another AU/NZ player because they were defaultly mislead in to registering on the Asian realm?

What is this?

Lastly, if it weren't for chatrooms I would have never found the Aussie community for War3 which lead me to playing in my first WCG qualifier. I wasn't even aware the competitive gaming existed if it weren't for that chatrooms.

hahahhaha, SyyraaaN most americans, as you call us, dont speak english. im fairly certain english is only spoken is usa canada belize and peurto rico. which are in america sure, but so is brazil, chili, mexico and peru. all of which speak different languages. secondly most people in the US speak terrible terrible english. he only corrected you because disgustment sounds really funny. i think the word you were actually looking for is disgusted.

i am personally disgusted also and am patiently waiting for hacked servers.

if blizzard cant do this right, we will.
there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who dont.

What is this? is the best way to put my frustration as well. I feel like Walter Sobchek, with a gun pointed to Smokey's head, screaming HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY?!? In what universe is cross-realm support for a multiplayer game optional? Especially considering the track record Blizzard has with the ease of realm-switching (D2, SC, and Warcraft 3), it's baffling that this is even an issue.

I preordered the game in the US, but I'm moving to Europe a few months after. Is Blizzard really telling me that I won't be able to play with Europeans, even when I'm in Europe? Because I have a US client I'll have to connect to US servers and play, regardless of where I'm located in the world? Blizzard's response? Don't worry your little head, cross-realm support will be along sometime in the future. In the meantime eat your shit-sandwhich. This is so mind-bogglingly stupid that I'm having real, honest difficulty putting it into words and I feel insulted that this is even an issue.

I started this comment by bashing this guy. I wrote it all up and was about to submit it, but I refrained because this matter calls for a measure of maturity he was apparently unable to deliver.

If Blizzard is serious about the globalization of ESports and video game communities in general, then the following are greatly beneficial to fostering that growth, if not downright necessary:

1) Communication avenues between all regions.
2) Infrastructure for organizing games between all regions.

This means chat channels, the ability to play cross-continental custom games, and a (DRM protected) LAN feature for tournaments.

though the dark may come, the Sun also rises.

Petition for chat rooms... *fixed*



Good morning. In less two months, starcraft players from here will join others from around the world. And blizzard will launch the largest RTS game in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us on July 27th. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests of having simple chat rooms in SC2. Perhaps it's fate that it is going to be released 23 days after the fourth of july , and we will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from boring interfaces staring at you while you "LOOK FOR A PLAYER" and not be able to talk to ANYONE except the people you know. We are fighting for our right to chat. To share ideas. And should we win the day, the 27th of july will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! WE WILL HAVE OUR CHAT ROOMS!!!!

DO YOU REALLY WANT CHAT ROOMS??

YES YES WE DO!!!!!

blizzard is two faced how can we trust them

http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23767157319&sid=3000

thats a link to there twitter page they said there will be chat channels on there twitter page

Q. Hi. So many people are complaining about this on the forum... is it true that there will be no chat channels? I hope not!

A. We do have plans for chat channels. Specifically, we want to organize chat channels around users' interests so you know what types of conversations you are going to get into when you join a channel. This feature is not something that will be in for beta. Currently we plan to do this feature in a patch after the game launches.

yet in this interview they said no chat channels thats lieing to your fans

Frank frank frank.. what the hell did you just get into. Your going to need a shovel and a mile of rope to dig yourself out of the hole you just dug.

I am generally a blizzard supporter, I still have faith but someone, anyone get Frank away from this project because clearly this man is just trying to run the companies fanbase into the ground.

Take the beta down, I don't care but fix the obvious issues with bnet2.0. Blizzard is better then this, and I won't tolerate these kind of shenanigans.

Imo, disgustment should be a word.

on topic, fuck blizzard. That's what I get for being a fan since fucking warcraft orcs and humans. Just when I trust them enough to take my pants down in front of them, they shove a giant rubber fist in my anus and say lolz hi2u.


they're not getting my money, fuck them.


thats a link to there twitter page they said there will be chat channels on [their] twitter page



I know I'm making it a whole new meaning as to what you initially wanted it to sound like, but maybe, just maybe, they're not implementing chat channels in Battle.net -1, because they are instead adding them to their twitter page, that way, in order to chat on battlenet 2, we actually have to log on to twitter!

Blizzard (Activision) is making reams of money on their Wcraft properties. I suspect, but I don't know at all, that that's why they seem to have put the JV team on SC2 bnet implementation. That's just seriously embarrassing as an implementation (yes, i'm a network programmer).

I guess they figure making more money on initial sales is better than sustained revenue? Or maybe they just screwed up? Beats me. The reality is the release date is way too close to today to implement, test, and fix (esp. with the Blzzard dev. team's track record on SC2) all the issues with battle.net.

In sum, it would be nice if Blizzard put good people on projects like bnet 2. But apparently they don't.

Blizzard wants us to use the messenger client style since they think it's the "in" thing.

I guess Blizzard forgot all their experience with B.net 1.0 when they made WoW.

Wow,

Frank Pearce ur an absolute clown. Who the fuck do you think you are to ruin this game for the many people that love it?!? Blizzard must have hired new staff since Sc1 because these noob game makers dont have a fucking clue what the people want. No chat rooms, no cross realm play. What the fuck is next?......no in game messaging???!!! Blizzard here is some friendly advice.......PULL UR FUCKING HEADS OUT OF UR ARSES and listen to the fans.

Im seroiusly considering not wasting my hard earned dollars to play this game. I have friends in the USA and I cant play with them now. Instead im stuck with these koreans who dont know a fucking word of english!!! Blizzard if u weren't so money hungry you might actually produce a good bnet 2.0. Instead ur raping every cent from us that u can. Bunch of wanks.

Well, at least we can draw comfort from knowing that it will most likely take less time for customers to realize they are being gutted and for activision blizzard to fail than the time it took for SC2 to actually be announced and released.

Oh and activision,

Go and screw urselves instead of screwing us. I wish I had their CEO in front of me so I could say it to his face. Instead, they have these gay little interviews where fans dont get to ask questions. If I was hosting this interview and that moron Pearce told me that I would need to buy 2 clients to play cross realm I wouldn't move on to the next question. Instead I would tell that noob what I think of him and ask him to show me the tree in my backyard which supposedly grows all the fucking money. I make such little money because I go to college and these wanks want me to buy 2 clients. To be honest thats like kicking me in the nuts and then deep frying them right in front of me.
