Really good changes.
Seems like they listened to the community after all, even tho they have been quite about what changes they would like to make for hots.
Hopefully it will bring back a lot of the "lonely" people on bnet.

Well its pretty much everything that the people have wanted, I wish that it could be done sooner than HotS but i guess ill just have to wait.

anyway, the big question now is, when will these changes actually happen? It's already clear it won't be there at release, so what time window after the release are we talking about, weeks, months or years?

Blizzard gives, yet people still complain that this should of been given on day 1, i hate this community.

The reason is that most people actually paid for this game, some of them many times over since they wanted to play on other servers, unlike where Blizzard apparently just "gave" you the game


Their decision (the buyers). Blizzard has said for a long time now they WANT to implement global play AND that they are planning on implementing it with HoTS. It's nothing new...everyone new it, atleast the ppl who are so hardcore as to consider buying multiple coppies of SC2.

So buying multiple SC2 coppies + knowing about their future plans for HoTS, makes it purely their decision about buying more coppies...they could have easily waited...it's not like 90% of the players who baught multiple SC2 coppies are TOP3 GM in their region anyway..

Wowow. that is so awesome. Super stoked ofc about the Multiplayer resume from replay feature.

congrats to the GLHF mag team for the official acknowledgment and approval.

Fantastic, won't stop the 1/4th of the comments that demand a perfect game on release and to whom this is unacceptable but whatever ;P

Now all that's left for the competitive area (not literally all*) is some form of anonymous play, so that people won't have to keep buying multiple accounts for that.

And apart from that I just hope the whole mapmaking and map distributing side gets heavily improved.

Still, fantastic update, thanks a lot Blizz!

global play, multiplayer replay, aaand unranked matchmaking??!!! niceeeee. now hopefully the lag across servers will be better


Pings won't change. All it means is that you won't have to buy an EU copy to play on the EU server, etc. It's not a LAN mode.

don`t get the point of unranked matchmaking, but the rest sounds great.

Remember all those people who were like "oh man i wish i didn't have to bomb my MMR to off race"? Yeah, it's for those guys and people with ladder fear.

Pretty nice if you ask me, as I'd rather not have to borrow a friends account every time I wanted to do some Terran laddering.


of course i remember them, but why is it on top of blizzards to do list. It`s just not a vital point imo. Whats the issue with off racing on ladder and lose my MMR. My fear is that the actual ladder will be neglegted.

Having played blizzard games for about 15 years I never doubted that in the end Blizzard will get it right. They always do.

Why we had to wait 2+ years past release for it is something to scratch your head about, but hey better late then never!

I really like all of these things, except unranked ladder. For lower league players its easier to find opponents in customs and to find tournaments based off of their ladder rank.

Despite this being the best news about HotS (forget about the new units and abilities, this is the s**t!) I still think it is very late.
We all know that Blizzard had a full plate with WoL but in my opinion many of these features should been included in it.
Resume from a replay? They should have done it a long time ago, since the first signs of drops and disconnects in major events. Unranked match making is also something they should be shipped with WoL. Well, I could go on but now there is no point, right? lol

Very good news indeed. The sooner™ the better!
