Well I dont see any alternative on the market, so all we can do is shitstorm blizzard for improvements to make this game what it SHOULD be... We already have the strongest community around, so hell its about time to make this game awesome ourself...

I won't be buying it for a while most likely. Why are people saying you have to buy SC2 to stay a part of this community? Maybe I just enjoy watching games ... No one in here wants to boycott anything. I just don't want to buy something I will not enjoy playing.

The thing is I really have a problem with no LAN and no real LAN latency on the new Bnet. How come Blizzard doesn't provide what private servers like WGtour and Iccup have done for years already? I just can't stand playing with lag. I will buy the game eventually when and if it gets jailbroken and fixed. I like the gameplay of SC2 but technical problems are huge.

This pretty much sums up this entire thread. [image loading]

See the bottom of page 3 I hate it how the last post on a page disappears into the ether. Still a true pic though, I'm obviously in agreement.

And for someone who wondered how many of those guys might be playing a torrented version: for shame. If you are boycotting you just don't play. If you can't do without, you give the devs recompense for their work, or else your message is "I hate some things you've done but love others so much that I will be a thief." The message needs to be "I hate some things you've done so much they outweigh the good stuff and I am avoiding this (for now)".

I will buy it. As to why:
- Starcraft 2 is great game
- no cross realm sucks for professional level, but I wanna be a regular player just having fun :X
- no chat rooms are like the biggest annoyance for me, although I believe there will be other options (possibly inferior) to communicate which should be sufficient for me
- global rankings -- I don't care that much to be honest. Not having global ranking isn't going to effect me too much
- as much as having no LAN pisses me off and will probably affect me the most it's nothing crucial for me
------------
I'm not happy about what Blizzard is doing but there are going to be more players like me..even more who won't be mad at all.
I'm just interested what's up with them creating this super e-sports game when they are actually making it harder..

Love the game, love the franchise.

Pre-ordered as soon as I could and now i'm eagerly awaiting July 27th.

Sad to hear all the hate for a really sweet game that is alot of fun to play. I'll defiantly buy the expansions too.

I love Sc2

There's no need for a long wall of text on why do I think bnet 2.0 is a lackluster and game still has a lot of balancing issues, because, well, it's all over the place.
What I do want to talk about is how Blizzard doesn't give a damn about all of this.
Just read this http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=128014 interview.
Look at his replies:
Show nested quote +

So I can use my same account?

No.

So I need to buy two clients, that's what you're saying?

Yeah.

But I can have two of them in my Battle.net account?

You'd have an EU Battle.net account, and a US Battle.net account.


Do these the replies that tell you "we will do anything to please you as a gamer, so please do buy our game!" or do they tell you "we don't care about your opinion, you will buy our game."?

And the sad part is that many people (me included up untill now) agree with that.
So I've upgraded my PC, I've played beta like madman to learn the game and I kept closing my eyes on Blizzard ignoring community opinion, but right now I'm seriously considering not buying the game. I know it will mean nothing for Blizzard as they will have great marketing and sell tons of copies to casuals, probably even hit some Game of the Year titles, but at least I'll know I did my part in boycotting their attitude.

Soo, anyway.

(Vote): Yes

50% of the voting TL pop will not buy it, but I bet you many many more other people outside of competitive e-gaming will gobble this up like a fat kid eating his mothers home cooked jambalaya.

Will I buy Starcraft 2 in its current state or in the future: NO

I'm not their cattle. I'd rather play Starcraft or Warcraft 3 than this garbage.

I'm still going to buy it mostly because I'm very interested in how things will turn out. Will it be a massive failure? Will they come out with something amazing as the game launches? Either way I'll be there to see it all pan out.

Right now it's looking really bad but I have already pre-ordered it and I am not going to cancel. How SC2 goes will greatly effect future purchases (D3/SC2 Expansions) from Blizzard though.

Won't buy it, I'm still amazed that the game itself managed to impress me enough that I went "Hey ok, let's actually try it out" while all the other stuff, which should be the "#¤#¤¤ easy part sucks so bad that it changed my mind.

50 % of the people on _teamliquid_ voting no on whether they will be buying star2.
People who one year ago would have bought it essentially no matter what
Congratulations blizzard, good job on that one.

Also lol at the people refusing to belive that not everyone shares their fashination with buying shitty services.

My only hope that after they make some s.it load of money by the initial sales, they'll settle down a little and start to listen to the community. Or when they see (if they see that is) the online community isn't as excited and active as they claim it'll be.

are you honestly saying you wouldnt... like honestly boycott them? ... honestly? ... cause if you do boycott them why are you still posting here? am i right? like... teamliquid.net is the main community of sc2.. are u saying u are going to not buy their game but still create the 10th thread bitching about this...?

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...?


This is a place for Starcraft: BW before it had a section for SC2. There's plenty of people who contribute to the community in non-Starcraft related things. It would probably be inappropriate for him toask people to boycott SC2, but there's no reason why he could not. you would have to kick everyone who doesn't do all of: SC:BW, SC2, and watch progaming...

=\

Like I'm not saying this is a good thread, but I think the attack is unwarranted.


TL.net started out as sc bw, I agree. Isn't this the SC2 Beta section though?

the strongest community around would not buy sc2 .

if you buy sc2 that like saying we dont care what you do or change im going to pay you anyway so you can do anything you want . and why the op only quote about cross realm ? they also removed chat channel and will not add them . in fact if you accept the game right now they will add many more nasty features , like be premium for create ums , pay for watch pro gamer play and im sure they can go more far since they will know they can do anything they want .

im fealing like many people just dont understand what blizzard realy do right now and still think :
ho that blizzard they are great so let buy the game no matter what .

well im NOT BUYING SC2 RIGHT NOW until they fix what everyone want .

I won't buy it at release for sure. I'll wait 1 month at least, but probably it will be 1 year.

Then I'll decide again. But I won't buy it at all if the things keep going like they're doing.


Oh, and the people that say "for the UMS", haven't you seen the "BNET 2.0 will harm custom games" thread? I was actually going to buy it for the UMS until then.
