Teamliquid is a SC:BW community and that is the game I am playing and will continue to play. I will not rush to the store to buy SC2 but will proably buy it a few months down the road when they have worked out the worst kinks.

I think a lot of people are overreacting here. "OMG I have to buy 9 clients to play professionally? Noes!" I mean what is that? How many of you are playing "professionally"? I know TL has a LOT of good players who will compete and play professionally, but I seriously dont think this will affect many others then perhaps the top 200 people. And I see this as clearly a problem for them, but the rest of us will never play professionally, yet we keep whining as if we all will have to buy tons of games to play.

They have said they have no plans for chat rooms. But they will come, in one way or another as long as we keep nagging about it. Just take WoW as an example. How many things which they said they would never incorporate into their game have happened?

- Making characters on boths factions on a PvP server
- Changing servers
- Faction change
- Cross server / faction chat with facebook ofc (coming the next content patch)
- Flying in the original world (comes with the expansion)

These are just some examples off the top of my head, but I think you get my point. Stop screaming as if the sky is falling before the actual game comes out and give the people working on it time to do things which are arguably less important. Things that the community want will eventually come through in some of the content patches (which they have already said they would have).

Another thing, who is to say the invite only proleague wont have normal rankings and not divisions?

Have hope people, the sky has not fallen yet, we see but the cracks, which can still be mended!


you need to pay for change server and most of the thing you listed , and seriously just... just...
go back to wow ( yeah i have say that )

The sentiment is still there, my examples are things they said they would never incorporate. The things we want will come in one way or another, because if it is one thing Blizzard does well is follow up on their games. I am just criticizing the "sky is falling" attitude. Telling me to go back to WoW is just childish, I've been playing starcraft since 2001 and play SC2 everyday, aswell as I play WoW. Does that make my opinion flawed? Im just saying take a look at the other game they have had "mild" success with and what have happened in spite of what they have said. Blizzard will only hold their fingers in their ears for so long and go "lalala".

And to the other person commenting that you have friends in other regions you want to play with, I know, that sucks. Another example for me from WoW is that I have a lot of RL friends playing on different servers, and to play with any of them I have to leave my old server and my friends there and pay 25 euro for it. Or I could invest several days of playtime (as in time spent ingame playing and leveling) to get a reasonable character to play with there. So I know your pain, but I'll just bite my lip and carry on, and hope that they will implement something to allow cross realm play. But again this is thread about boicotting the game entirely over what I see as overemphasized issues.
really?

I've already preordered it, and I don't really want to cancel it. Although I'm a bit annoyed that Blizzard has left out things, I feel like we can end up changing Blizzard's mind eventually anyway. We just need to knock the Activision part out of them.

So many drama queens in this thread. Don't like the game? Fine. Then stay away alltogether, we won't miss you.

The game itself is great amounts of fun and is excellently played out.. the singleplayer will be even more amazing... you will buy it too in the end.

I'll buy the game itself, which is OK, I've bought horrible games for more $. Do I like the bew bnet? No, definitely not. This was to be expected when they merged with Activision anyways, even though they promised quality was not going to be compromised for profits

Yep. The game is fun, the techniques are endless. The faults as many people complain about are minimal. I don't play games to chat, I play games to play. And changes can be made in the future. I'm willing to bet 75% of the people saying "no, I wont buy it" will be out picking up their copy just like the rest of us at release.

seroiusly who honestly won't buy the game as it is now? even if its a pain in the ass to cross-realm and talk to people via party-chat... people will still buy this game...

you aren't doing any job by boycotting and if you really are boycotting you aren't really part of this community anymore are you? so then what would be the point in posting this... again...?


tl is a sc e-sport community




I wonder if Paramore has even played BW for more than a few games (if even that).


I've played hundreds of BW games... iccup as well.. my statement was meant to make aware that useless threads like these do nothing and imply that people that boycott the game most of the time don't actually boycott it. Go ahead though, don't buy it, see if I care.

There are better ways to "protest" than threatening to not buy a game.



Such as?


Posting on feedback forum really does help. Look at the thread right now titled "small ray of hope" that talks about how chat will probably be implemented later for clans and groups...

Posting a thread here that is constructive on sites like team liquid help. Not boycott petitions, these type of threads are trash.

Playing the game and sending crash reports and reporting exact situations on how game crashes. This is an example of how to help build a more stable crash-free game. Not necessarily talking about the exact functions you want.

Cross-realm play was also mentioned to be a goal to be implemented in the future. Even though its low priority, at least they are already planning on doing it.

Have fun playing sc1 while most of us play sc2 though. I am sure you won't be missed since there will be literally hundreds of thousands of people in each region to play against. . .

We have been doing that the past month and what is blizzard's attitude? 'Do you really want chat channels?'

What else can we do after knowing that they don't listen to a word we say and only care about their pockets?

And obviously, you are not planning on being a competitive player. Well I am not either and that is no problem for me but for competitive players that is a huge must. They basically won't be able to participate in other servers tournament or cross server tournaments unless they buy 3 copies of the game. Also, since the metagame in each server is different it is impossible to play at the highest level without practicing cross-realm.

This highlights the problem better than I can explain it
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=128027


Your post is flawed for so many reasons already.

1st of all I already to plan on being competetive. However thats not what we are discussing.

2nd of all, meta game is different for each individual, being on a different server won't help you with your meta-game. Watching replays and thinking and doing research on your opponent will.

3rdly Blizzard has stated that they have heard us. Just b/c they hear us doesn't mean they'll do everything we want them to do. Yeah, they are the ones that made this possible in the first place, but at least they are listening at all. So many games get made with zero-input from users. We've already seen tons of blizzard implementing what we want. Just b/c they won't come out with it right from the get-go doesn't mean what we want won't come true.

I waited 10 years for this game, i don't mind waiting another 6 months for chat-channels and an entire year for cross-realm play. Sure I'll miss out on some international tournaments, but I'll be plenty competetive in America. Besides, if I surpass that point, I have a job and can afford 10 copies of Starcraft if I really wanted to since I'd be winning cash tournaments, I'm sure I wont need a job to supplement it either.


cash tournaments... delusional much?

also asking ppl whether they'll but the game or not is not a petition to boycott the game. i think you're the only one in the whole thread to use the word boycott


as for me, i wont buy sc2, i would need a new computer to get good performance and for a shitty game like sc2 it's sooo not worth.. i just dont see the entertainment value being worth the invested money.

i think sc2 was from the beginning on intended for the casual WoW-player, because they are the once it's easy to milk of their dollars. as for our current culture i dont see esports getting big anywhere in the western world so that a company would invest too much in the market to develop the necessary infrastructure.

cant blame blizz, they are a commercial company, making money is what they do and they would choose money over esports on everyday.

this might be the dumbest comment ive ever read on teamliquid. the whole point of the thread was to see if people will buy it or not, then people obviously will tell why they wont or will buy it. shh

also to all the people saying the ones who said that they wont buy the game, will buy it anyway. what gives you this stupid confidence to judge over the reasoning and decision making of others?

or you just feel bad paying $60 for a mediocre game and just need to reassure yourself.... right...

i could as well say that 50% of the ppl who said yes will be pirating it.

I will probably buy it unless somehow they manage to screw it up even more.

At the very worst at least the single player should be good fun. People make fun of the writing but honestly SC and BW weren't that strong in the writing department either.

I will buy the first sc2 but I will not buy any of the expansions. If they don't fix this by the time HOTS comes out I might have to boycot blizzard games. I think is a damn shame that the activision corporate culture has spread to blizzard too. To me Blizzard is no longer the gold standard for game development. They are just another dev under activisions thumb and I will treat them as such.

Yes, I would be buying it. Even if it ends up being later down the road, I do have confidence at some point, the game will be as close to where everyone wants it as possible more or less. Maybe not on release. I haven't seen a game to this date that has any sort of competitive potential being great immediately on release. SC1 was pretty bad in this regard until quite some time after release.
