If you feel alone when you login, that absolutely sounds like a personal problem. Some of the other complaints in this thread have merit, but I think in true internet fashion are completely blown out of proportion. The idea that the UI somehow hinders you form playing the game is just silly. How hard is to click Multiplayer -> Find Game? Is Find Game not big and orange enough? Maybe Blizzard needs to make it blink? Or, A Blizzard employee should personally message you when you login, and point you to the Find Game button. Two birds with one stone: The UI won't hinder you from playing, and you won't feel alone. | ||

Two birds with one stone: The UI won't hinder you from playing, and you won't feel alone. I don't think I've met one single person on StarCraft 2 and actually stuck with them and played with them for years and years. Compared to WarCraft 3 and even Brood War, this is beyond silly. StarCraft 2 that is... Hell, I've met some really cool people on Diablo 2 and just stuck with them forever. I never even met them in person. StarCraft 2 is just making it hard to communicate and meet with people. Public channels also made this easy to do where you could just talk about whatever you wanted and setup games easier. Last time I checked. There was about 350 people using the chat channels in StarCraft 2. And it's funny that you say it's a personal problem but how many people that I know in real life, actually play StarCraft 2? Hmm, let's see. Maybe one? But he's bronze and I try to coach him and it's hard but he'll make it. But I can't go onto StarCraft 2 and be like "hey, how is everyone?" Instead everyone is just jerking off in the crappy custom games somewhere out of boredum because they can't find a game to play with anyone. Just like yesterday I was playing on PeepMode Metalopolis but I wanted to play on Peepmode Cloud Kingdom instead, but there was only one other person in there. Just because the game wasn't popular. Bullshit? Then I have to join up on PeepMode Metalopolis and contribute to the horrible map, and when I do that. I just making the game more popular. Which makes it suck even more. | ||

There is no official blizzard channel that isnt dead so you have to search one up, privately, and the channels got no moderators so there can be tons of trolls there or its just a dead chat. There is no clan support and you cant have cool clan channels like you had in wc3 which made the game way more socializful. There is no /w function which makes you even more lonely because you have to go to someones score screen of a game they played to talk to them or add them, and many times you cant add someone. And what people mean is that Sc2 is LONELIER THEN WC3. Which never shouldve happened. BN.et 2.0 (0.2) shouldve IMPROVED the socializing part. alot. They owe us this and if you cant see that then im sorry I dislike you hell of a lot. Thanks for bumping this thread regardless and I hope I explained something... | ||

Maybe you missed the part of the thread where it explains the loneliness is due to the custom game system missing so many intuitive features. What you're describing is ladder, which many people have said is the only redeeming feature of b.net 2.0. Please read before posting ignorance. | ||

Should we be content with missing features just because their competitors set the standard so low? No. If you're happy with getting less than you could, fine. We're not. Simple as that. Who exactly is setting the bar lower than Blizzard when it comes to the features surrounding the game? It's so low you have to be a limbo champion to get underneath the thing. LoL, HON, DOTA2 are all doing it way better. Even the Tribes Ascend beta which isn't even close to feature complete lets you play on any server you want. This it takes time crap doesn't fly either. HiRez Studios did a complete overhaul of the out of game UI and features as well as completely redid the class system in the game within a couple months after receiving feedback from testers. Blizzard can't even give us a lobby list for customs in two years. I honestly feel like Blizzard wanted us to buy the game, play for a couple weeks, and get the hell off their servers. | ||

Yeah but you see... we're not going to get it ever even for tournaments, and DotA 2 is... And then suddenly DotA 2 has LAN latency for EVERYONE if they so choose, not just professionals or tournament organizers... My point is bnet looks like a steaming pile of feces compared to DotA 2's client. | ||

I think there is some overlap, but not that much. Maybe the issue is competition? Dota 2, LOL and HON are all competing for the same audience, while SC2 doesn't have much compeition from any serious online RTS game. Which is unfortunate. | ||

What we take away from this is that what was originally a Starcraft Brood War map Aeon of Strife, which turned into a Warcraft 3 map Defence of the Ancients, which turned into it's own genre of strategic games called MOBAs, Valve's game is vastly superior to even the current model for which it is based on. DotA 2 could have been a Sc2 related phenomenon if Blizzard was up to community standards. There's no reason they couldn't given the fact that their games established the genre. Now all they can hope for is suing Valve for being better than them at everything they do. | ||

My favorite part of that artice (besides all of it) is this, On behalf of joinDOTA and it's community I extend a thankyou to Erik Johnson and Valve for listening to the community and taking the time to share what is happening behind the scenes at Valve. | ||

All those people not playing ladder anymore are playing other games now, any of the popular MOBA's, I'm guessing. I doubt the majority of SC2 players only play RTS's. And MOBA's are an offshoot of Warcraft III anyway. The point is there's probably a lot of overlap. Blizzard sure wants a lot of control over a game that they don't seem to want to actively support in ways that grow the community very much. | ||
