i do not need the game to offer me streams / observerspots / devblogs, i can find those on my own and better. (why would the common, even casual gamer be unable to use a browser?) the game needs to provide a good way to play it, thus there is need for: clansupport / yet another chatoverhaul a better custommapsystem / would like more custommaps in general dota is dota, rts is rts, different games, different stories, copying these features will actually do nothing for me... | ||

Well, you can link your Steam Account to Facebook, so that Friends on Facebook can add you via Steam. So overall, I guess it is quite the same. | ||

I'm going to use an Einstein quote which I learned from Civ 5 and completely warp it's meaning in a most cunning way: "'If a man is chatting up a sassy lad in SC2 while playing ladder, he is simply not giving dat micro/macro the attention it deserves.' | ||

If you chat instead of micro/macro you are not paying enough attention... everything else was just filler. And since when is sassy lad a bad thing to say? I'd kill to be sassy! | ||

The UI of the game SC2 is how you interact with the game. It's the SCV build menu, it's how you move a unit by right-clicking, it's the hotkeys you press to hatching 5 mutalisks. The UI of Battlenet is what you use when you search for a game, host a custom game, enter the single player. There is an intentionally small crossover of these, as they are very separate things. I don't know who plays SC2 and while in the middle of a game wishes they could have a chat window fill up their screen. That's not what I'm looking for in SC2, so don't assume what you want is what everyone wants. There are some definite improvements that could be made to the battlenet experience, and I think it's all part of Blizzards plan to roll it into the expansions. They're not stupid, and have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. Give them some credit. They are in this to make money (and why shouldn't they be?) and want all of us to happily buy their expansions, which is why there will be additional "features" coming as part of that. | ||

I think you mean "SaSe", not sassy. It's understandable, they sound very similar. | ||

I will not buy their expansions because there are no features. It's a joke. Look at DotA 2, their feature set is new, useful, and awesome. Now look at B.net 2.0, it's trash. http://i.imgur.com/jEzkT.png | ||

Yes, SC2 could probably use a bit more in-game educating system for the lowest leagues. Not for anyone else though, streams would benefit in a different way. Also when I hear UI, I think about my tools while playing. It seems you mean Battle.net 2.0 in general, so I kinda dislike the title of the thread. | ||

On accessibility... There is no SC2 player that will ever want to chat with someone while he is playing. It just can't happen. In dota you have down time when you die or in the picking phase so you can chat, but in RTS there is no such thing. I don't even know how to comment the education part. Of course you can't learn SC2 "solely on your own merits". Even if you have access to every single replay in the b.net you still can't learn the game, because you don't know what to look for. So you need other source anyway. But seriously is that week dedicated to the "terrible UI of SC2" ? As it was said before the UI of the game is AWESOME, period. Personally I don't think that b.net is THAT bad either : Chat windows/Channels - I don't care really, but it's important for some people to chat in game... for some reason... so it will be good. Custom games - That is needed. Replays with friends - that is needed too and it will be in HotS. LAN mode for offline tournaments only will be good too. Those are the things that b.net lacks atm, but meh... I can still enjoy the game even without them. | ||

Why are there people in here that say you shall not comapre the UI's of Dota 2 and the Bnet 2.0? Dota 2's UI would work for SC2 like a charm and grant WAY more features. Why do you want less features? Is there any reason to it except not wanting to compare your holy RTS-Grail to a Moba?  . | ||
