so i opened the video and played it and i didn't plan on listening to it, but i did play it and i ended up listening to the whole thing! it was such a great video (i loved the kittens holy shit cute) and i agree with everything you said and no you weren't overreacting. you see the cool thing about not caring about deadlines is that it shows that you actually care about the quality of the game, the more time you put into something the better it's going to get. i've decided that i will not buy sc2 until this shit gets fixed, it's ridiculous how they're going about it and annoying to no end. and lol@ that guy who said he wants to squeeze as much money on sc2 as possible that.. is just.. i'm at a loss of words.. fuck him, that's all i got to say, i hope he gets diarrhea at a bad point in his life.

I completely agree with everything you've said Husky. I don't understand why Blizzard has made all of these decisions with very little explanation when clearly the community is outraged by their implementation of Battle.net 2.0. The worst part is that they seem to want starcraft 2 to be a huge competitive game, but are taking away all of the features that would allow it to succeed...

Thanks for the collection of feedback and the constructive tone. Always appreciated.

Er... I remember seeing RAGE, me being part of it.

Overall, I'm impressed that they are responding to the people. I kind of consider it a lost art, you know? People are complaining about how governments never listens to its people (which is not always the case), however Blizzard is taking a step in the right direction by releasing this public statement.

I approve.

Bashiok is a pretty cool cat, I've seen his replies in the D3 community... He's one slick operator, and can shoot down bulshit pretty quick.

Eh I am pretty much of the view that these were pretty empty words from blizz, I'll believe them when I see good changes to the existing battle net service.

We are a little too hard on Blizzard. Their ambitious plans can't be accomplished overnight, even if the game has been in development for 5 years...

Props to them for being so understanding of all the nerd rage.

impressive. i thought blizzard was just going to barrel through the complaints and release the game the way it is now (read busted).

i hope the changes they make are the ones everyone wants

All this does is promise that Blizzard will explain their reasoning for B.net2 being the way it is. It's going to be like the explanations that come with the patch notes posted by the WoW CM.

I really doubt any major feature is going to be put in this close to release due to the outcry. If they do put in anything it was already planned long ago.

I believe chat rooms is the one thing they can implement fast and easily. I mean how hard can it be to add chat rooms? This would be a step in the right direction.

Blizzard has been great with PR in SC2 but I'll nod and smile when I see actual results and not just circular hyperbole like what Browder spouts in every interview.

I trust in Bashiok because I've read many of his posts but he is only the voice of one person right now. The fact that B.net has gotten as far as it has this way is not a coincidence or a mistake. They made the decision to do this, to exclude and demean the service. It will take a great deal of energy and work to pull it out of the cavern it's trapped in.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

I knew blizzard wouldn't let us down. They are always slow as fuck to address the public and implement changes, but it is blizzard after all.

Hope someone will specify to not make cross realm servers but gateway when you can choose where to connect.
I fear that that's why they keep saying it's impossible i (and they) keep reading cross "realm servers" and they obviously respond the lag will be awful if we put everyone on the same server.
If people keep talking incorrectly we will have another Phoenix "moving shot fix".
