I use to hold back from Blizzard bashing, but in this case a little is called for. If they had written the game in a way that made this hard/impossible to implement then sure. What the guy proves is that it's possible in the framework of the game to do it.
The bashing comes from the fact that compared to LoL, DotA2 (I don't know about HoN) a disconnected player means a pause until the other player can reconnect, not a massive black stain against the finals of a major tournament which induces a couple of hundred pages of ranting, hate, bashing, ambiguity and throws the legitimacy of a result in doubt.

You obviously have zero experience with applying your knowledge. So your viewpoint is worthless. Sad when a typical graduate has such unsound rationality, but I guess it's expected to have an influx of those individuals in an ever growing field.
Obviously if blizzard wrote the code it would only take them a few days in writing the same thing. They would continue to spend 10x+ that amount of time making sure it's perfect, because anything else would be under their standard. Your lack of understanding of this basic concept in programming tells me your degree is fallacious in nature.

There are some other options, maybe they just chose not to include this feature. Maybe this feature is on the bottom of their priorities. When developing software its not exactly easy to deal with all requirements and keep everyone happy.

Here's blizzard's decision making buddy: Make money.
They do that by making HOTS and Blizzard Dota. Not from implementing random features. Should be pretty straightforward.

You don't notice that you've slowly given up any logical position and incrementally translated into attacking me personally? I would be offended if it wasn't so transparent.

Nice. You don't even know what field I'm in, and assume I have never applied my knowledge in this unknown field. You haven't backed anything up or held a rational opinion at all - you just say your right and others are wrong and then bash them.
Obviously if blizzard wrote the code it would only take them a few days in writing the same thing
Exhibited by them implementing it within the last 2 years of the game...

Dare I say, someone needs to be "exempted" from this thread, before it goes even more offtopic, thanks to his trolling?

Good idea, though. Sins of a Solar Empire has a feature that lets you resume multi-player games, and it works quite well. I'm sure Blizzard is working on it. Even Age of Empires had a save function for multiplayer games.. It's nothing new really.
Holy shit.. yes it did! Even the star wars knock off based on the same engine (galactic battlegrounds) let you save a multiplayer game mid way through, and come back to it later on.

I'm sorry, how do you know they don't approve? They approve of other third parties like stronger team colour... This isn't harming anyone, relax.

I would say this feature does qualify as a monetary interest. Obviously Blizzard has resources they are utilizing on SC2: WoL as they make changes to the game still with frequency. They work closely and have an interest in the competitive scene which has been effected by this. I'm not trying to bash Blizzard, but when they drop the ball you have to be honest and call it like you see it.

Yeah I need a doctor because I'm willing to defend a gaming company that has proven themselves over the past 20 years over posters who say they "know" what they're talking about.
What ignorance, I can't see how game developers put up with it. It's probably why they don't waste time trying to please the community coding these types of things.
|
It's obvious that if one guy can do it, then hundred of professional programmer who are working for one of the biggest gaming company in the world (whom made the game) should be able to implement this feature with no troubles at all. The question is, why aren't they doing it?
|
I never claimed I "know" what I'm talking about. I presented logical arguments that reinforce my position. I could see how you arrived at the conclusion I know what I'm talking about though and thanks for the freudian complement.

Well this has gotten vile can't we just agree that it is a good thing that should get pushed by the community.

I wouldn't recommend using it atm, but it's a great thing it was made so props to the OP.
