This whole "let's make bnet 2.0 useless outside our use case" thing seems like short term thinking from Blizzard.

Sure, if they alienate their core fans then it won't cost them too much at first, but in the long term it will definitely have an effect on sales of future games, and on the shelf-life of this game as communities fail to form around it.


I believe that's called Marketing Myopia. See? I learned something in my marketing class after all!

I feel that it is very embarrassing for a company as large and powerful as Blizzard to suffer from this. They are going to kill themselves as a company if they continue down this road.

If I was a big shot in Blizzard, I'd certainly look at teamliquid and ask the guys here to name 5 people that will represent teamliquid and it's userbase.
Then 2-3 Blizzard people would get together with the 5 TL people on a conference call once a week and discuss stuff.
Those 5 people would then be the voice of the community. The game would end up being awesome.


this is assuming blizzard even cares about what the hardcore community wants.

I can't really believe Blizzard is being serious with this. Fortunately the Amazon rating isn't up til June 27 (I think), so they definitely have time to respond and do something before some of us start taking desperate measures.

All they really need to to is have a Gateway selector (SC/WC3 style) and have one default choice that clearly says "recommended" (for the tards who can't figure out what their default server should be), and maybe add a warning message for the other server choices that says "omfg if you connect to this server which we do not recommend then you will have lag and the game might just blow up. do you want to continue?"

Problem solved, and now international tournaments can happen easily. Moar esports ensues, moar money for Blizztard ensues. How hard is that to understand?

This move isn't even good for their money in the long run.

They took everything that was good in SC1 and left it out of SC2 (ex: server choice).

If they don't then they can at least stop pretending that they do. Because they're not very good at it.

I can't think of any good reason NOT to add cross-realm functionality, other than they're eager to see how many chumps will pay for a copy for each realm. Hopefully not too many...
There is always an exception.

I think its so weird that on one hand we have this gorgeous game with sharp balance and on the other hand we have this horrible package around it called battle.net 2.0

I want the battle.net team to STOP IGNORING US.

WHY DONT THEY LISTEN!

Can someone please post tl threads such as this on the blizzard forums, so that there is 100% chance that they see it, and so that it is obvious and unavoidable to them?

Decisions like this make me want Blizzard to fail very badly... How can such a big company be so ignorant? This has been asked 100 times, but what happened to blizzard? WoW? Was that enough? The game is awesome. Why is everything around it so dumb?

Well, they should. Not because they need to be nice, but because they themselves want to make the game as good as possible. The problem is that they aren't even aware of some things that are DUh! to a hardcore (i.e. experienced) player.

TL knows the ins and outs of StarCraft, ESPORTS, you name it... I think Blizzard missed out a lot and could've milked a lot more useful input out of TL.

You can thank Gaming in general for getting so popular/mainstream/accepted that it's caused gaming companies to shift their focus from pleasing the small niche hardcore crowd to the mouth breathing casuals/soccermoms that play the game a couple months tops, because they are now make the majority of the people who buy the games.

With gaming being so mainstream now, the easier they can make the game, the longer the casual plays and is more likely to recommend it and purchase sequels/expansions.
