Your video was super awesome. I didn't even go surf around other stuff while listening to your voice because of the kittens :D

And thank you for addressing so many of the problems with battle.net 2.0 in one great place. I don't know if you have concerns over map size limits or those map making limitations in general, but I agree with all the concerns you did mention in your video. I hope Blizzard listens.

For every decision Blizzard doesn't fix, god kills one of Husky's kittens.

Funny how it takes a video with almost 300k views before blizzard actually gets it in their heads that they need to address the issues brought forward by the playerbase.

Not the case. They read the forums intently.

I think they'll do a switch-a-roo, claiming they had planned to implement chat channels from the beginning and all this is a giant misunderstanding.

I wouldn't mind to be honest. I just want a good Bnet.

So we can't moderate are own ping issues in custom games, and they don't want us playing with friends in different regions, but they don't mind as long as we pay extra.

Not putting in chat channels was retarded.

Trying to make people pay to play their friends in other regions was all about the dollar bills and in the process screwing their loyal customers. To me Blizzard's image will be tarnished unless they make this part right. Yea boohoo, i'll still buy the game and who cares if someone gets offended right? Well, in the long run these things matter for a company's lasting appeal and profit line.

Thanks for the video Husky. Maybe Blizzard will get it through their heads.

They fail to realize how important chat channels were. Without them there is no culture; no community.

Not to mention chat channels and b.net 1.0 as a whole were a lot less personal. They had more of a water cooler effect where you can have gamers come in to your channel just to communicate a bit but you didn't have to be good friends with them and know all their personal info.

Activision just needs to fuck off a little and let Blizzard do their thing.

Assuming the post-WoW Blizzard isn't also a group of moneygrubbing corporate suits.

I'm not worried about chat channels and LAN so much as the entire ATTITUDE that Activision/Blizzard has towards their fans, customers, and their own games. If changes are made but the attitude remains impure, then all we're asking for is for Blizzard to polish the apple while the worm remains in the core.

I agree with pretty much everything husky said. Blizzard has to let us know that they are doing something to fix this. I expect to see a much better Battle.net 2.0 before release. Not expecting perfection off the bat but it needs to be a lot better.

this. i dont give a fuck how the solve all this and what excuses they bring up. we arent trying to bring blizzard down even when it looked that way with the giant shit storm n stuff. all we want is our core multiplayer features.

and when blizz finally communicates and does what needs to be done im sure 99% will ignore evrything that happened and be happy customers again.

A couple things.

lol blizzards been aware of this since day one.

-and-

Their is no conspiracy. Calm down folks. They're really that stupid/out of touch.

Here are my predictions/analysis. First of all, some reevaluation of priorities has occurred through blizz HQ. Our recent collective community outburst had an impact. That being aid, I doubt chat channels will make launch. Instead, the upcoming situation report will work towards bridging a player to developer gap -and- a developer to player gap. It's going to acknowledge that the developers are aware of many of our recent issues (specifically, case by case, not just a broad acknowledgment). Which they may or may not have actually been aware of prior to this shitstorm. And how these issues tie back into there overarching plan. Finally, their going to acknowledge some changes they've made as a result of us. Probably moreso in the Global play and Custom games list then in chat channels. Then end.

Just try to take it at face value. The fact that they're going out of there way for a unilateral response in itself is reassuring because they care about our outcry and value our still somewhat minority reaction.

Well it took them a long time to respond to a huge issue, and then they dodged this question:

***************************************************
I don't want to complain too much when I got what I wanted, but why does it have to take this long to respond publicly to a major topic?
***************************************************
It's a fully justified complaint, and hopefully something we can correct moving forward.

So they have no reason for not coming forward earlier, and this coming forward comes in the form of a reply to a topic. Not any official Blizzard team announcement.

So until I see some progress or something official, I'm not going to get my hopes too high. It could just be business as usual.

why are ppl complaining so much about BNet 2.0?
In point form, I can only see 2 issues:

- No chat rooms
- No LAN

anything else?

I have a dl limit where I live so i can't watch the kitten video for now

Husky you are my hero. After watching your video I was so deppressed about how bad Bnet 2.0 was but this has bolstered my spirits.

I'm still concerned about acti-blizzard and that monster who is trying to suck the money out of us.

The the whole region locking prevents people from playing in tournaments unless they feel like shelling out more money for extra copys.
