In fact, it sounds more like that they will simply make previous responses they had towards complaints in smaller interviews publicly published. Anyone who's read a lot of these Bnet2.0 threads knows that I have been as critical of Blizzard as anyone. That said I will wait for their statement with guarded optimism. Blizzard has genuinely been a good company for a long time and for that I will at least give them the chance to have their say before condemning them forever. I am not an advocate of trusting them unconditionally, but if they are actually going to take the time to respond then I will listen to what they have to say, at the very least. As for the content of their address, I'm not expecting them to tell us that all our concerns will be fixed by launch. I AM expecting to have the various concerns addressed in a specific manner. For me at least any kind of blanket statement isn't going to fly. They should go down the list, point by point, and they should answer everything honestly and straightforwardly. If something is going to change, I don't expect it to be at launch, but I absolutely want some assurance that it will happen, and a rough timetable as to when. If something is not going to be in, or they have no plans for it, I would appreciate a more detailed explanation as to why it won't be (though I don't expect it). Answers like "Who wants chatrooms, lol", and "We're making Bnet so good that you won't want LAN", are both stupid and insulting. Here is the sort of thing that would make me happy: 1) Chatrooms- we're sorry on this one, we really didn't realize how much people wanted them and we will be putting them in at some point. They won't be in for launch but look for them in the first couple of months afterwards. 2) Leagues- We understand the concerns of the competitive gamers out there and are looking into ways to tweak the current system. We will be including a global rank for players in platinum and above and we will see how it goes. 3) LAN- Sorry, but for the time being this is not planned and is not changing. We realize that some people may be dissapointed by this decision but we feel that it is in our best interest as a company to continue in this direction. 4) etc.etc. etc. Now I'm not saying that is what I want to hear in terms of content, but if that is the tone and layout of their address, and there is some evidence of concessions and/or changes on their part, I will be happy enough for now. Basically I want to know that they are listening to us and care what we think. If I get that impression I'll buy the game. If I don't then I won't. | ||

It would seem that cute kittens are the key to Blizzard's heart, who can deny their power now?? | ||

"Blizzard to address complaints about Bnet (Date)" And the post said "Can you give us an indication as to when this address will come? Thanks." Moderators then deleted my post. | ||

Yes, but what I mean is that they don't ever give very much feedback about what they are planning on doing, or what they are working on. While I understand the reasons behind not giving out everything they are working on, it can feel like we're talking to a brick wall sometimes with our suggestions/criticisms. Which in turn makes us less inclined to spend the time reporting it all if we feel they arn't listening. | ||

On-topic: It's great to see Blizz actually saying something. They had been sitting stagnant on these threads for too long. | ||

Thank you Blizzard, for saying SOMETHING. It did take way, way too long though. | ||

If they were just rewording what they've already said they would have done it by now. Probably. Maybe. | ||

The reason I ask, is because I am puzzled by everyones anger at the no cross-realm play, because Ifor about a year in warcraft 3 I played against a number of asians and europeans in various leagues, and never ever went to their Bnet server to play them... but rather used ggc. Can anyone answer this question? As for chatrooms, not having them will definitely entice me to actually play the game instead of jus chillin out lol | ||

I really dislike those types of arguments. "It might be good to not have A because it will force me to do B." Why would you reason like that. | ||

I only dropped for a couple of games and then left to do something else. The game lacked any sense of community when being online. It definitely did not entice me to play more. But maybe that's just me. As for your question: you are spot on. No such thing will be available. | ||
