Name changes for not professionel players will only promote more scamming and noob behavior on battle.net. Think about what you said... why should players have to buy a new copy of the game to represent their team when this feature was included in Warcraft III almost ten years ago?
This.
The scariest part is that nowadays it seems to more and more people perfectly normal to be restricted to one region, not be able to play with others, not have a clan management system, have to PAY for a frakking name change, etc...
War3's Battle Net was so much better, I still don't understand what is happening in the Bnet team at blizzard HQ. It must be some kind of a joke.

Yeah I agree, there should be a Clan tag system just some of the games on xbox/live.
Also, didn't the makers of xbox live help with the making of bnet 0.2?

PLS!!! i wanna be fuggernaught 2.0

Update from the esports manager who contacted Blizzard again and received this response in his ticket.
In the future we plan to offer additional name changes for StarCraft II characters. I am unable to provide any additional information at this time, aside from underscoring that we're enthusiastic about this too!
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/3123318915?page=66#1310
We have to see if we can get confirmation of this from another source.

I think Blizz should offer one free name change a season and additional name changes for 6.99$. That way,u can change your name every once in a while without paying, but if you want to shcange your name every other day, u have to pay for it.
|
I wonder if this has to do with any legal or accounting costs they would accrue, along with the obvious development time.
|
I hope this will happen. I had a bad name and immediately changed it to a worse one. I am ridiculed almost every day on ladder 
Or they could give a free one again. Last time was almost a year ago I think.
Edit: I could of course buy a new copy of the game if I wanted but I really wanna keep my profile with 2000 wins.
|
Has anyone thought that, perhaps, they're not implementing the name change and clan support because Blizzard wants it to be another selling point for HOTS?
That's what I'd do if I was them.
|
It will be bought regardless 
|
I think they should allow a reset in the name change feature during the start of each season. For example 1 name change per season, but it doesn't stack up if you do not use it. This would allow a name change every 2 months and will also prevent trolls from changing their names too much. I and i'm guessing most of the community do not like the idea of a paid name change.. these kinds of things should be free.
|
edit: I totally agree to the post above me.
This is typical Blizzardish work style.
Not a single person is needed to implement anything, if they would just allow a name change every ... (2-4 month). Blizzard is just not about solving problems in an easy way... To figuere out which is the best way to make more money is what really takes time 8[
Thx for this game, Blizz. But in all situations around this, especially the battle.net, you are still acting stupidly awkward.

Posting this as it appears it hasn't been shared in this thread yet.
Blizz has responded to the thread mentioned in OP, and apparently it was misinformation.
Blizzard's Response
From the blue post:
Recently, some inaccurate information was shared with the community in regard to the future of a paid name change service, so we wanted to take some time to clarify our current stance on the implementation of this feature. Our original plans to implement a paid name change service have not changed, and it is indeed something that we would like to make available as soon as possible. As with any feature, however, it remains a matter of scheduling it among our other development projects before it can be introduced. We’re not able to give a specific timeframe yet, but we are targeting work to begin late this year or early next year. We’ll share release plans once we’re further along in the process.
As always, your ongoing constructive feedback is appreciated.
While I am one of those who has not used the free name change (nor do I plan to anytime soon, I already picked a name i liked), I can't believe they would even try to use that as an excuse as why not to implement it. Clearly a majority of SC2 players are casual and have no real need to change their name frequently, but pro's do need it for team changes and the like. Glad to see that most of this was misinformation, but it's still ridiculous this wasn't in place from the get-go as it was painfully clear people would want/need it.

Your not, most people don't really care for themselves, but they are smart enough to realize this affects plenty of pro's and semi-pro's a fair bit. I cant believe you don't see a problem with having to buy a new version of the game for a simple name change, especially (as others have mentioned) since this feature was in place for other Blizz games.

Whats the disadvantage of a clan/tag system anyway.

haha! nice one! it really is painful how dumb people are, when it comes to issues they aren't directly affected by. ^^
Also this attitude seem to be the most common between blizzard employees. Maybe he should work for them.
edit: sry, i'm a bit mad, when i read shit like "who cares, you all are just QQing..."
|
i would like a other name change, or at least a clan tag change
|
Poor GosiTerran has had to pay over 500$ for new accounts :p (joke, though it may be accurate.)
|
dont see whats so diffcult about this. i mean the code is already in place since there IS one available name change for each account. rather than giving what is important and what is wanted by the community, they rather put their efforts into useless things like messing up APM and canceling notifications as mentioned in the latest state of the game.
|
i most likely wont be changing my name at any point, but i wouldn't mind clan tags =D
