Wow what a great job! This is such a great post for several reasons:

1) It adds something that is worth discussing and can be discussed by everyone for something that can possibly happen.

2) The suggestions are fantastic and gives readers (hopefully Blizzard) a concrete example of what should change and why.

3) It is a great example of how a suggestion thread should be made. A lot of thought and testing goes into it so that people will take the suggestions seriously when they respond.

4) It shows iniative. People tend to complain so much but don't want to do anything about it except complain.

5) Lastly it is short and concise so that internet dwellers can read and digest the whole post before giving a response.

Thank you so much for posting this. It made my day and I wish more people were like you. Best of luck getting a job with Blizzard!

These are some good ideas for replays. Now just do stuff like this to like 20 other things and bnet 0.2 might become good...

I smiled when you said SC2 UI is so well designed, nice lying mate

edit: And @ Ashur from page 2, you failed to mention that they need to add a normal game list and get rid of this "Join Game" bullshit that just ruins custom games and the custom map community completely.

Love your suggestions and applaud your efforts

but it just feels like a bandaid fix. tbh a complete reconstruction of the system is needed.
Ashur made some awesome points

Amazing job on the video... but I completely disagree with almost everything you've proposed. These changes are nifty and all, and I certainly wouldn't mind them, but I'd never use them as a high master league player, and I would rather Blizzard put more efforts into other parts of the UI.

What actually needs to be done with the SC2 UI is:
- Simplified chat system (like messaging someone without having to right-click their name in friends list or elsewhere)
- Moderated channels
- Clan system
- GameTV
- Statistics

Nice wish-list from Ashur, but I think if you think about the context of the OPs video (i.e. a job application), he has taken the wiser approach.

It's all well and good to say you can come in, rip up the whole of Bnet 0.2 and do better, but in fact you'd probably find that all of those items are already on Blizz's to do list and that the reason they're not implemented yet is due to the technical challenge of integrating them.

The OPs video brings original and practical ideas to the table that build off of the hard work that's already been done.

I realy liked the video and the way you presented your ideas. Even if the changes might not be exactly what some people want or need, they would still be a huge step in the right direction. This video shows you are smart and creative enough to provide Blizard with new and interesting solution for a problem that they can't seem to be able to solve without you're help

I realy hope you get noticed by Blizard and wish you a lot of luck.
Now, off to bump this somewhere on the Blizz forums ^^

no, sc2 UI is not "excellent and well tought out", and while i see why you would say such a thing (to get the job), you're dishonest and i would never hire you

a kick in the ass is also a step forward, and that's what blizzard needs atm the most, not lies to keep their egos safe from the truth

make a video where you critize them and adress the real problems in UI, and you get my respect. new ideas, not candy stuff: meaning its nice, but at the end of the day wont make much of a difference. band aid of sorts


also, everything Ashur said.

Oh my god, I've hated how sc2 match history is so unintuitive like how pressing back resets the match history page, this guy needs to be hired.

Very well done. I hope you get the job!

Not to diminish the incredible work you did here- the replay system would benefit so enormously from the overhaul you proposed- but I've gotten the feeling that the core UI issue for most players is more in the chat/community area than it is in accessing replays. Of course, you more than proved that you're equal to the task of reworking bnet, so I have faith. The very best of luck!

Blizz better hire this guy lol, these features should have been there from release.

Oh and I call bs about the part where you said "the UI is very well designed and it was hard to find things to improve". Though I doubt you would get hired if you simply said "The UI is a PoS, hire me so I can fix it"
