They want to do less and earn more, we want more and to pay less. Fact is, standard game features available in their own other games (and every other multiplayer game on the market) are not available in this one, and we still need to pay for 2 more games to get the full story. *Clan Support *Chat Channels that don't suck *Share Replays *Name Changes (paid ..honestly wtf.. just put a 1-2 month cooldown that'd stop people constantly changing) *Lan or at least cross region play in customs, I shouldn't have to buy 2 copies of a game to play with friends. That is not exactly Multiplayer.. (league is perfectly fine by region for lag purposes.) At least if they allowed name changes, or a clan tag be added that'd at least show a bit of something to the clan/ team community. Not adding these very basic features can only be harming their company image in the eyes of consumers. Even if you do agree about their no Lan for piracy message. Things like paid name change.. no clan support.. have no justification other than pure greed on their part. They're customers are asking for something to help their experience.. existing, and future consumers of other blizzard games.. and blizzard are flat out being stupid by not giving these features, minimal cost.. lots of goodwill from consumers. They want BNET 2.0 to be the central hub for their games.. then they need to add in the features to make it so, currently it's just purely window dressing to look at while i click find match. | ||

 Anyway, it's irrelevant now. Starcraft II has lan. Done. And it can't be undone, unless Blizz suddenly figures out how to retroactively undo widespread internet distribution (good luck!). Now the question is, do they continue obstinately refusing to provide their most loyal customers this feature (while the rest get it anyway)? | ||

An extra LAN button is going to confuse you when you log in to play? I'm stupid if I don't use LAN? Are you retarded? Why would I use LAN when I have no one to play with on my network. Should I play singleplayer or AI LAN? What the fuck are you getting at? You sound like a jackass. | ||

Ontopic: Seriously, blizzard is cutting stuff that can be easily coded in few days ( like lan support ), stuff which has been present in his older games and everyone enjoyed it, thats a bad decision. | ||

The wording was a bit ambiguous, but it's not too difficult to grasp the concept >.> | ||

- @ the general noob artillery squad: LAN = Local Area Network. It's not a magical acronym that stands for whatever you like. It is not a service as many of you seem to think. It can, however, be used to support an external service as was the case with Starcraft. - @uzyszkodnik: The LAN support was not excluded from SC2 because "it took more time to code". It was excluded because they don't want to make it easy for people to hack SC2 multiplayer and because they wanted one centralized place for all players to play on (if they accomplished this is another topic). - @Zeke50100: The original poster's wording was NOT ambiguous. It was just wrong. They did, however, succeed in insulting 95% of the player base. - @uzyszkodnik: Having friends is not the same as having friends with their own pcs hooked up to your network. Unless they were my roommates or we were having a lan party, this would be a very retarded idea. - @crms: I think you need to learn how to read. Maybe you should read again so you can change what you "think". | ||

Perhaps you should get off your high horse and understand that the author's intent is not always how you interpret it? am·big·u·ous /æmˈbɪgyuəs/ Show Spelled[am-big-yoo-uhs] 1. open to or having several possible meanings or interpretations; equivocal: an ambiguous answer. The OP's original post is not ambigous. It can only be interpreted one way the way they wrote it. Just because you "know" what he "meant" doesn't mean shit. Maybe people should try to make their grammar correct and re-read what they wrote when writing about the things they care about instead of being snide with "cool story bro" hate bullshit lines and riddling their post with broken english. | ||

Btw at least one advantage of the current way is players experience roughly the same delay when practicing online at home and in tournaments (perhaps slight differences in ping based on connection / location of both locations). Not sure if it outweighs the cons though. | ||

So you are on this crusade of of being offended and acting out because somebody's grammar wasn't good enough? Get over it. | ||
