This thread has 46 pages in 6 days. Clearly the community is passionate about it. Myself I am just getting really tired of hearing blizzard have it on their "to do" list, and then never mention it again.

I got a minor question regarding shared replay watching ( I know it 's a little bit off topic):
Wouldn't it be possible to code a tool that converts replays into custom maps?
I mean it extracts all the data from a replay and converts them into action of two A.I. or something and than it would save it as a custom map, you could load it up, and people could join as observers ...
Maybe this idea is stupid but i'm just interestet if it could work ...

Do you guys think Blizzard looks at Teamliquid or their own forums more? Which is the best place to get noticed you think?
|
i find it amazing people can complain about the ui wen theres still such obvious balance/game design flaws to deal with it-_-
leave it till hots ui will probably be different

Community managers and forum mods are sure to notice the threads on the official boards, and will forward popular or important topics. Developers, employees and the forum crew will certainly also take a look at external sites like TL or Reddit, be it for general community feedback or because of personal interest.
However there's no certainty that noticing these things also means actually replying or reacting to them. All we can do is keep the various discussions going, to show that we're sincere with our concerns and that this isn't just a short-lived whim. The longer this lasts, the harder it gets to ignore.

Sure, you're welcome. Your polish discussion will soon overtake the german one in activity and replies, great to see that your community cares so much!

I think the best thing we can do is just continue to contribute to this thread until blizzard can't possibly ignore it any more. I mean at a certain point blizz investors might get nervous from this big of an outcry from the community.

I wonder if they're even aware of this thread? I submitted a support ticket and they said so they do. But that could possibly just be certain Game Masters. I do have a post on page 45 with a couple of screenshots of it.
They've told me repeated times that the developers actually do read the official forums.

Tweet last night Feb 8th from @BlizzardCareers
"Want to create awesome UI for #SC2 & #Blizzard DoTA? The @Starcraft team is hiring a UI Artist! http://ow.ly/8VJby | #BlizzardJobs #in"
Could this be the sign of a new UI rehaul?
We should get someone from the community this job. Goblinoid you up for it? lol

That's good and all. But we still had no direct response. Hell, at this point, even the typical 'soon' comment is better than nothing. Its been roughly 6 days since this has been up, and 4 of those days have been working days for Blizz. I don't want to QQ, but jeez, shouldn't there have been a response to this by now.

I was a big warcraft 3 player and I agree with everything said here.
I feel like there has to be a bunch of oldschool Blizzard guys sitting around going like "fuck.. BNET sucks, our old shit was great.. but we're pressured to over-casualize and consolize our product for the big stupid money-spending demographic, that probably hadn't planned on playing this game for years and years like vets/die-hard fans hype for sc2.."
Like, there was seriously a moment in the development process where they thought facebook integration was awesome, and it was prioritized over these other features (which previously existed), and *then* they marketed for that -- think about that idea for a second and you realize what kind of abject failure B.net 2.0 has been and how functionally inept the Blizzard design team is.
To be more constructive though, I think you could expand on the statistics section for War3, If i remember correctly, like for example they had statistics for particular heroes chosen first on particular maps, and then the winrates of those situations, etc.

Great job at keeping the OP updated, thank you.
The games needs a much better UI/Bnet, let's make it happen.

This is one of the best threads ive read for a long time.
couldnt agree more on the missing community thing and feeling "alone" when joining sc2, its often the same, u try to idle in sc2 like u did in wc3 but somehow nothing happens.
i dont understand why sc2 didnt take over as many as they could from wc3 and improve from there on, cuz i feel like the wc3 lobby was really really nice alrdy (even in diablo 2 u had such a nice community feeling).
sc2 could even be much bigger than it is right now. from 5 of my friends playing sc2 im the only one that still plays it, all others get bored of it

Well, Blizzard and Activison is going to have their conference call of whatever today. Possibly someone will get fired? You never know.
I sense an overhaul coming! >:D

Totally legit OP, I played a hell of a lot of SC:BW and I spent all of my time in the customs. Now I dont play, just follow the scene. If they could get back to real chat channels and a decent custom map interface back I would probably start playing again
