this among problems like no friend add (right now can't even add by ID search or manual input), and private chat channels.

cross-realm play and chat channels need to be in the game by RELEASE. If the game does not have those features, DO NOT RELEASE IT UNTIL IT DOES. Also, there needs to be an identifier system so you can add people without email address. (Chat channels would fix this).

The kind of shitstorm that results in a 1 star amazon rating and articles all over the internet about how SC2 isn't ready for release.

I suggest if you have anyone who writes for a gaming site/blog/whatever tell them about this. You could easily write an interesting article about the decline of gaming being a result of companies selling out, and then compare that statement with blizzard, a company once known for waiting until games were absolutely amazing before releasing them.

It really seems like blizzard is dropping the ball on this one, and the only way they will react is a public shitstorm that overflows the SC community and starts affecting the opinions of people who are not die hard SC fans.

Yeah I remember there was a poll awhile back about best game developers, and TL tried so hard to win the internet for Blizzard. Man what a waste of time now that I think about it.

Not really, this "shit storm" your referring to only really happens when a lot of people are involved, I grant you a hard core can have an exaggerated effect but we are notably not talking about say Ubisoft cutting off single player games or even Valve's first release of Steam (not only did it take hours to install of DVD but really got in the way).

We're not even talking about cross-realm here, that's just miss-leading, we're talking about cross-region. The closest equivalent to realms is divisions, now that would be shit storm: can't play with your friends, can't meet new people from your community and join them in again. That would effect the standard and even Blizzards warped 'Wii style' "casual" player.

What we're talking about here are hardcore players and the success of tournaments that they feed into. Arguing its something else I feel just makes your argument too easy to counter because your simply wrong.
Even players who complain they won't be able to play Koreans like they did on iCCup seem to be disingenuous, such a random and infrequent occurrence surely won't and can't stop them from buying a game they're obviously invested in, neigh, love.

All I'm saying is please don't forget you* are an minority, the respected people here are part of the worlds best, their needs are obviously different and the mere fact that people want to emulate that
doesn't mean Blizz should throw the baby out of the pram, just listen then do what they think is right.


( * I'm here because I respect the skill and time taken by the players, and pop into some single player from time to time)

No, it's not a good idea but a terrible one, because if some of the Aussies decide that the lag is too much and want to go back to the server they are closest to, they can't. Also that doesn't solve the problem for other international players and for US/Euro players planning on playing in Asian tournaments.
The best possible option is still to provide a choice everytime a player logs in.

I respectfully disagree. TL is a huge community. If your wondering what kind of pull we have than look no further than the macro mechanics. Weve changed the course of this game (for the better) before and we can do it again.

(Vote): Yes

Keep in mind it doesnt just have to be amazon. We could compile a list of every single major site ranking that allowed users to vote. Metacritic, ign we could hit everything...


It could be biblical.

They dont have to make the severs connected to make me happy. If they just let us choice are server like they did for BW I be fine with it. There no fucking way I'm paying for 3 copys to play on asia, US, and europe.

Be Heard
Instead of just posting in a forum thread and being washed away, make sure Blizzard knows how you feel. Here are a variety of ways to get in touch and also get the word out. Make sure to be polite and express your thoughts. If this public outcry does not work, a boycott may have to be organized.


Remember the issues:
- Chat channels
- Cross region play
- No LAN, even after Battle.net validation
- League system
- Clan system
- Bnet 2.0 in general

i would even be fine if they sent you a free client if you had already purchased the game i guess.... lol sounds pretty epically stupid though.
