Incase no one knows. Clan system support for BNET is begin added in HOTS. It wont be released for at least another 1/2 year. Also, Blizzard isn't going to add anything they don't want to add. LAN, profile stats, & bigger chat channels most likely will not be put in. I assume not anyways.
I have heard otherwise

So that blizzard dota was announced to be released like nine months ago also right? or did i mix it up with starjeweled? It seems like "battle.net 2.0" is harder to work in then the "old" battle.net? or why does it take such a long time too do anything for blizzard? ahh, they are all playing Diablo 3 ofc ^_^

The only reason I do not plan to use my name change is because I only have one. So I will save it for a time when it is necessary. If there were ways to change it more than once then I would not be so stingy.

I don't want to use my name change because I'm happy enough with the name I have now and if I change it I'm afraid I'll hate my new name and won't be able to switch back. Also the feeling of being able to change my name if I ABSOLUTELY have to is comforting.

This is honestly why I never read discussion threads on Team Liquid. It becomes a total group-think circle jerk about the issue of today. Take the Puma incident for example, the Team Liquid community raged for two whole days about it as if it were the death of e-sports but any care for the whole debacle died in less than a week. At least /r/starcraft has people who aren't complete idiots and understand that programming things such as clan support, name changes, and automated tournaments, take time and manpower that is currently being directed to HOTS. Blizzard is a good company that cares about it's community; take a look at WoW, Blizzard is practically whipped by the community there.

I'm really surprised a clan tag feature hasn't been added yet, one where you have to be authorized or approved to use a certain tag. As for the name change though, I'll probably never use mine.

I don't understand why this is so hard for them to just do. The mechanic is already there. All they have to do is start collecting money for it.
I confuse. They collect more money by making people buy a $40-$80 (depending on region!) game again. Doesn't mean it isn't ridiculous, but if everytime someone wants to change their name they buy a new game -> $$ for Blizzard! Of course then you argue that paid name change would be cheaper -> more people would buy it -> equal/greater $$ for Blizzard. Who knows man, WHO KNOWS.
I doubt that the amount of money made by people rebuying the game to change their name exceeds the amount of money they would make from a name change microtransaction.

You know, Blizzard needs to sell Heart of the Swarm / Legacy of the Void... Clan Tag feature will come with HoS.

Paying money to change a couple of plain text characters?
jesus christ.. why do people let this become the norm.. now we're BEGGING to be ripped off? should be free of charge for fucks sake lol.
|
probably if we voice out our opinions on balance, they'll address it. that hasn't worked out despite numerous outcries from the community.
|
i really miss the clan tag so please at least introduce that because it's also quite easy to do...and make it free obviously -_-
|
As soon as I updated "Operation Paid Name Change" thread I saw this one lol. Glad to see people still working towards getting Blizzard to offer this service.

...this is such bullshit. "We didn't think anyone wanted it"... And I bet you think nobody wants LAN, or to be able to watch replays with their friends, or timestamps in the fucking chat, or the ability to ladder as an off-race without it affecting your main race ladder, or the ability to play across the atlantic ocean, or any comprehensible form of clan support, or tournament support, or a custom game search that actually only returns results pertinent to what you've searched for.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I just believe that there are probably other reasons why these features don't get implemented. "We didn't know the community wanted these things" is just a crock of shit.
I was working on a reply to this thread when I saw this and decided it summed up my frustrations with the complete lack of features in bnet 2.0 well enough.
As for paying for a name change, that's just lol. You can do that shit for free on Steam and thousands upon thousands of websites that involve user accounts. Hell, in SC1 if I really wanted a new name I'd just make a new account and start playing from scratch again. Not having my record carry over was kind of a pain, but at least I wasn't being charged for it.

What I'm really waiting is the clan support feature, it is incredible that they didnt think about implementing something as basic as that (well, we have to remember that they didnt want to implement a chat for a long time...).
And I didnt use my free name change because I don't want to change name, it is as simple as that.

i think most people changed their names because they needed to change for a clan. having a clan tag system would circumvent this issue.

Do you really think Blizzard are that stupid ? Blizzard job is to sell games. Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void were planned from the beginning, and guess what ? These games need to have BNet "new" features in addition to new units/maps...
I guess they planned chat channels in HoS as well but with all the whines they decided to finally make it in 1.2, this is why chat channels are so simple (extended chat window in fact).

Please Blizzard implement this! We've been waiting for so long
|
Thanks Blizzard for letting me pay money to get a service i had 12 years ago for free.
|
Never got my free name change
|
This is a plain joke, i thought the paidname change was already implemented for months...
