I know they've had lots of fluff responses that skirt around the issues brought up in the threads, but has Blizzard actually stated an opinion or reasoning behind why they haven't done any of this?

No, but hopefully soon they will give us a reply.

BNET 2.0 has been such a deception. Blizzard RTS were going so good before sc2. One gotta ask himself why don't they listen to criticism.

Chat is horrible and is doomed to stay that way.
LAN wont ever be again in blizz games but it's understandable.
Clan support/Automated tournys/custom games/ladder were badly or not at all implemented and I don't see any changes coming even in expansion.

Major let down from blizzard in sc2/bnet2, their reputation took a major hit.

Even though I'm tired of Blizzard not doing anything, I guess that making it pop back to the front page from time to time is a good idea, because there must be someone who will ask them directly in an interview at some point...

I must say, the blind forum mod on the US boards that closed the fifth thread seems to have done us a favor. Thread 5.5 has started stronger than the last few threads each. There's nothing like shortsighted moderation and a little upset to get things going again

I have to post in support of this topic and ask Blizzard to start trying to make some changes with the UI. How about one change per month, big or small? At least show that something is being done here. The only Blizzard employee who seems to be showing any support to the game is David Kim. Attention is being paid to the balance and that's excellent, but when I hop on Starcraft I head straight for the 1v1 button. There is nothing inviting about this interface. It's like a cold, bare room. Come on Blizzard, WC3 was like a cozy cabin with a roaring fire and a bear rug. Yeah it might have smelled a little weird at times, but at least it wasn't completely sterile. I've grown up with your games, they have always been labors of love. I don't doubt that this one is too in many ways, but I remember poring over the manuals for WC2, SC1, and D2. At your best as a developer, your attention to detail and craftsmanship permeated everything from the gameplay all the way down to the packaging. Don't forget the UI!!!!

Not only is TL the wrong place to post such a statement, but this attitude won't get us anywhere. I can understand frustration over these issues and welcome anyone who wishes to participate and add their voice to the discussion, but please stay civil.

I guess the majority is satisfied with the current set up and Blizzard has no incentive to improve its services.

This is just wrong. And they will see it on the number of HotS sold copies.

I must sign under this thread, all suggested ideas would be warm welcomed by me and I believe by many others.

Quite hilarious.

That was pretty funny. Makes me wonder if he is trolling.

Im sure all the features we want will be added in HOTS and LOTV for incentive to buy them.

"The lack of clan support makes it so pros will honor their commitment to a team since they can't change their name. EG probably would have bought HuK a long time ago if there was clan support. My friend who works for EG said that the reason why they took so long was because they had to raise enough money to buy him another account so he could change it from LiquidHuK to EGHuK."

He's gotta be trolling so hard :D

It's great to see people picking up on the custom system criticism now that the StarCraft Master map is out. I've seen several comments and threads on various boards pointing out that they're bypassing the popularity system. Not that the map wouldn't have made spot #1 anyway considering how starved the community (or what's left of it) is for new content, but the irony sure is delicious.

Oh, and that they've left in a level where you can one-shot banelings with ghost snipe despite having removed that possibility in the latest patch is the icing on the cake.

i am not seeing any change in the UI for the rest of the time until HOTS . Maybe blizzard will make the UI better in HOTS.

Haha, and if they dont? Look, We cant take any risks. We must force them to reply, there is no other way really. If they reply and say ''we fucked up badly, we're gonna fix it in hots'' then sure, we can sit back and be happy, but if they dont, we keep our fingers crossed only to get massievly dissapointed if they dont rly fix it for hots? Keep this shit going.
