It's obvious to anyone who actually plays the games. Clearly the people in charge of setting priorities do not. | ||

let's hope blizzard sees this and atleast replies with a legitimate reason (ie. anything but "lag-issues") | ||

But heck, I would give up any of that stuff if I can actually play on a different region. And lag issues? If anything that causes your game to lag, its the non P2P server of battle.net 2.0 that SC2 will be using, unlike SC1 which had this feature. Fancy graphics don't translate to more data to be transferred. Yes, I thought it was absurd he blamed it on a 3D engine. it is not like they need to transmit video of the fucking game. They just have to transmit object states, which should be practically the same as sc and wc3. And that brings up another thing, wc3 was a fucking 3D game. WHAT THE FUCK BLIZZARD. Their excuses are just so fucking bad I dont see how anyone with half a brain could believe them. | ||

I seem to recall some interview, which said that multiplayer play will not be affected by expansions. Sorry, don't have a link to it atm. EDIT: My bad, it would be quite fucked up indeed, if this is their final decision. If I buy StarCraft II but don't buy any of the expansion sets, will I still be able to play online? SourceYes. This will work similarly to Warcraft III and the original StarCraft, which maintained separate online gaming lobbies and ladders for expansion set players and players with the base Warcraft III or StarCraft. | ||

In practice nothing changed when they "merged". You may want to educate yourself about the management changes not a month after the merge and who answers to who now. | ||

I really enjoyed SC 2, I thought it was a great mix of new features/design and the old design of SC ..However their complete incompentence with B.net 2.0 is just horrible, and their constant excuse of 'We dont have the technology' is either a downright lie, or they are seriously behind the rest of the industry. Come on Blizzard! We expect better from you guys =( | ||

How awesome would it be to have a shitstorm in game, even if it didnt do any damage it would be better than current storm.. | ||

Multiplayer play WILL be affected by the expansions. Originally they werent sure when they came out with the "trilogy" idea, but since then they have stated the expansions will be real expansions just like broodwar and the frozen throne. | ||

These latest moves by blizzard are really frustrating. Just see how this isolation has even changed the gameplay, where each region has developed unique play styles, none of them probably anywhere close to the optimal timings and builds orders. | ||

They did say that, but since then they've basically gone back and compared it to how you can still play Warcraft 3 online without TFT | ||
