sarcasm?

They probably didn't start coding in the chat channels until after the game shipped. Seeing how so much of the SC2 development time was spent making the current iteration of Battle.net 2.0, I'm not surprised that it took them this long to code in chat channels.

All you guys complaining...
You obviously have no Idea how much work all this is and should keep quiet, all this is a LOT of work to do, especially if u consider the low amount of personal actually working for the patches. Its only a week more so get straighten up soldiers and enjoy it.

Was it official that it's coming out the first week of jan or is that also speculation?

It was probably announced on a Blue Post in the Bnet forums, so it probably was official.

Where does it say this?

1/5/11- After additional testing and feedback from the community on the PTR, we’ve identified and fixed several issues and are now targeting next week for patch 1.2. We will update this thread should there be any further delays.

Aw, i hope it's in time for Cybercraft tournament...

Ah didn't realize the OP was revised. Thanks
|
Link please? NVM
Damn Blizzard
|
This reminds me of when they delayed Diablo II 1.10 patch for about 18 months or so
|
Guess it's nothing but cannon rushes/blocks for the next week then.
|
It is probably incredibly hard to code chat channels into a pre-existing codebase that was not built with adding chat channels in mind. However, it was also incredibly stupid to build BNET 2 without chat channels in mind.
|
we on the third delay now?
|
At least they provided an update. And the delay is only a week. That's basically a nanosecond in the blizzard time scale.
And if they started coding from scratch, then I completely understand why it took so long. As an engineer myself, getting shit out the door in perfect condition is incredibly difficult and time consuming to do.
Besides, I can pylon block you filthy zergs for another week!
|
Link's in the OP, Bash just edited the original post.
|
Bah! I want the beta back! Updates every week. Thats how it should be to keep us happy. Plz dont delay it any further. bNet0.2 sucks hard and the only thing that can change that at least a little will be ChatChannels!
