guys, are you realizing what this means?
blizzard isn't slowgoing and ignoring us, they have simply had these things, as they have said, "on the list". but remember, they havehad other stuff "on the list" too that they have not talked to us about.
now our stuff is on the top of the list.
HOTS will be awesome.

We’re also working on a feature that will help players connect with other players and games that are near their location (connecting through the same IP). We believe this will primarily be used by people in internet gaming rooms, offices, dorm rooms, and local tournaments where you just want to find the guy sitting in the desk next to you. Although this may not be ready in time for the release of patch 1.5, we do intend to have this available by the time Heart of the Swarm ships. does it mean a lan ?

Is what we want just the option to make chat channels bigger? I think to get the chat experience most users are looking for it would require a revamp of the interface setup, and not just the option to increase chat window size...

the only thing that happens is, that after over A FULL YEAR of crying and moaning about this desolate situation of battlenet 0.2 and sc2, they realized, perhaps they should do something about this mess they call interface, social systems and so on... stop beeing ignorant pls
you can especially see this, this happened after the blizzard marketing conference... also they now searching for a new lead designer for battlenet 0.2... coincidence? no, santa claus isn't real

When Blizzard works, Blizzard works in tidal waves.

I'm confused about that local IP one. Is it just going to have a list like, "Here are some people within a mile of you. Go get 'em," or what? Either way, great changes overall. Though, I never did have an enormous problem with the custom games system. I don't see what all the fuss is about o.O

They are recognizing the need for LAN!

And seriously, a lot of people did complain about the size of the chat windows. So this is addressing a complaint, maybe not just one literally every person have. But it's something, and the fact that it is something IS something (apologies for all the somethings). And their UI/bnet development team is totally separate from the balance team, why the hell people are saying "I wish they'd focus on balance" is beyond me. If the UI/bnet design team focused on balance, we'd have way worse problems going on.

Multiplayer replays maybe?!?!?!!?

I'm in the same situation than you, what is this feature supposed to be, I don't understand. Does it mean MM will put me vs people near or what ? I'm clueless :S

Wow, these are huge changes. I can't wait to test drive the new UI, I really want to see it more warcraft 3-esque. I am also SUPER excited by the LAN-esque change theyre making. God knows that this patch is long overdue but it's good to see that at least Blizzard still listens to us and wants us to be happy with their product. I was honestly starting to lose hope at this point.

I personally hate spending a few hours waiting for SC2 to install and update itself whenever I try to install it on a new machine or reinstall it on my laptop after deleting it to save some HD space.

No bunker time change?
Cool stuff though. Like others have said though, multiplayer enabled replay system would be awesome.

i was hoping to see some screen shots, oh well, im excited for some updates, also i think this is the right direction going forward into HoTS, test everything in WoL and then improve on it or make changes as needed

Lol, although poorly worded, and will probably get warned, this is so true. After a year of bitching, firing employees that didn't need to be fired, they finally realize that their shitty coding is actually making a dent in their already MASSIVE profit margin.I guess that since they fired the employees, they need to actually work a little more to set the equilibrium again. I just hope the Blizzard execs are nice and cozy with their 6 figure salary.

So... wtf? "We fixed the stupid things that never should have been in 2.0 to be like in 1.0"?
All this patch SCREAMS at me is "HOTS DELAYED!"

Yeah, they already offer that service for WoW when downloading patches, so I'd assume it'll be the same.
