I Completly agree with Kennigit, no cross realm is the stupidest idea.......ever.......
It's hard to choose between no lan, no chat channels and no cross realm play.

You have a terrible case of denial. There is no way this isn't a money grab on their part. They know people will gobble up whatever they shit out.

I honestly don't think blizzard takes the feedback they get on their own forums very seriously.

How do they plan on expanding international esports popularity if they cant even offer basic tools that made it what it is today?

Completely lost faith in activision-blizzard at this point. Boycotting future games unless they get their act together.

Having to buy 9 games to compete in SC2 plus no chatrooms...
I'm officially boycotting SC2 now.
The more I think of it, I really believe they don't give a shit about eSports... they know people are going to buy their game.. damn them.

With every statement from Blizzard these days, I am losing more and more of my respect for them. Is there any option left other than them being either stupid, incompetent, extremely greedy or just ignorant?

After asking more money from Kespa, they want us to buy 9 games ? wtf is wrong with them

And it feels like Blizzard wants to pigeonhole us into doing just that, which is wrong, wrong, wrong. I don't think they do. I think when they were in the planning stages of B.net they were like "yeah yeah we'll have everyone on different regional servers with cool profiles and achievements like on WoW :D . And we'll support esports too!" God, I hope this is the case.
Fully agreed with the statement.

In IdrA's most recent interview, he says anytime he logs onto the US or especially the Euro server, the latency is pretty terrible. I've heard similar concerns from all sorts of players who have multiple accounts (or share them). I think the lag is a real and genuine factor. That said, the fact that we don't even have the option to log onto another realm is extremely irritating. I'm sure there are a lot of backend optimizations that could be put into play to alleviate lag problems and simulate a chaoslauncher experience.
Chat channels is my beef. I wrote this in the other thread, but how are you supposed to coordinate with more than 4 people? Add them all to your friends list and message them individually? Use the broadcast system? Those are both stupid ideas that could easily be sidestepped by adding in basic private channel functionality. There is no excuse for not implementing such a feature. Actually, I believe that the IdrA interview was pre-patch 13... The switch from TCP to UDP made playing from EURO->ASIA a LOT smoother, at least for me.
Tho I hadn't tried in a few patches. Anyway, it's also a question of definitions. Is it 100% without latency (the way europe is for me)? No, no it's not - depending on the hour of the day, it will range between "fine" and "playable", which are very vague definitions that I just made up
Anyway, the major point is - as you said - that it should be our choice.

You can really tell theyve been rushing bnet 2.0. Man so many things arent thought through. Bnet 2 is just full of major fail right now. Here are my suggestions:
Regions: Have a option that enables cross region matchmaking for regular ladder games. For UMS and tourneys I dont see why youll ever want to restrict a player from playing anyone in the world as long as its up to the player to choose the latency.
Chat rooms Obviously they are going to put something in to make bnet feel less lonely, BUT, they should explain what the plans are. Right now theyre just making asses of themselves and pissing off the fans.
UMS maps: Just raise the specs, seriously. Without a happy ums community sc2 will lose so many "casual/non competitive" players. Let the modders and apper do what they want.
Watch replays with friends Just implement it goddamnit.
Every issue at the moment has to do with bnet 2 :/ It makes me sad as Blizzard has made all my favourite games so far. Id hate them to become some arrogant money grubbing corporation. Please Blizz, stay nice and cool.

Yea it's clear that the bnet team at blizzard is lacking some brains and is seriously lagging behind the other game production teams.

I put a lot of faith in SC2 and Bnet 2.0. I really can't figure out what the hell happened with good ol' community-appeasing Blizzard. They're acting the same way the developers of MW2 did (in terms of multiplayer). Bnet 2.0 becomes no country for old community (referring to the movie title obviously).
