Am i the only one a bit pissed off about this? I mean, all the features are great, and have been asked for or bitched about for a while for the most part, but WTF blizzard, its pretty obvious your sitting on some feature-rich changes and addons for bnet being released with HotS, but that just means your being greedy and not patching any of them into WoL bnet because you want to force everyone that wants a full BNET2.0 to buy all 3 expansions, why not just charge for bnet 0.0002 itself..

tldr;

these are BNET features, not HotS features, release them in a patch separate of HotS as it should be.

Um... that's what they are doing. It's just a timing thing. Read the actual post, the thread title is misleading

"Here's a list of some of the features we are planning to release at or around the launch of Heart of the Swarm:"

This says nothing about requiring HotS to use the features or them being HotS dependent, it's only a comment on the timing of the release of the features..

There are some great features here for sure, but instead of a unranked ladder I wish Blizzard would implement a Daily/Weekly battle.net hosted tournament. Instead of your ladder rank being your bragging rights, it would be the places you take in the tournaments. Ladder should be strictly practice and ladder rank should only be a reflection on how diligently you practice and not a display of skill.

To be fair, we knew for the longest time before WoL released that we wouldn't have any of these features and the last two years have still been a blast, albeit with a few hiccups. The point is, why have some of us spent the last two years bitching and are still continuing to bitch when we're definitely getting a better product eventually? Yes, it would have been pretty cool if we had all this stuff from the get-go, but what's the point of complaining when it's two years after the fact? I'm just happy they eventually did listen to us and implement most of the stuff the community wanted. Would you rather HotS not have any improvements? Would you be any happier if you swore off SC2 because of it? I'm certainly happier with SC2 in my life and news that Blizzard does apparently care somewhat about the quality of their game only fills me with optimism.

I'm worried about the unranked matchmaking... I feel like almost no one will play ranked matches anymore, or that when they do, their rank will almost never correlate with their actual skill. That means increased wait times and worse matches.

I'm really excited for Global Play. For me, that kind of thing is just too cool.

maybe in lower leagues this might be a problem.... in higher leagues I doubt many people will play unranked at all

Also, global play makes me regret coughing up the extra $60 for an EU account as well as an NA account -.- they obviously didn't consider people doing that.

I don't understand the multiplayer resume thing. Does it mean you and ur opponent play half a game, pause it, exit sc2 game, and continue playing tomorrow?? Can someone enlighten me?

Disgusting... bunch of features that were there in bnet 1.00000. Also yes I can believe flash will compete in sc2 soon now that blizzard has successfully destroyed the bw scene. Otherwise, no.

I'm curious: in what way is restarting a game from a replay a networking feature? We've got pretty definitive proof that it works just fine on B.NET 0.0002. What it needs is client support, for the SC2 application to actually do the work.

That's not to say that it couldn't be put into WoL, of course. Just that your reasoning that all of these are B.NET features is wrong.

Also... do we actually know that some of these won't make it into WoL? They talk about releasing these things "at or around the launch of Heart of the Swarm". They never say that they are actually in HotS or otherwise require it.

I'm not saying they will; indeed, I wouldn't hold out any hope for it. But it is curious how they talk about these things.
So you know, cats are interesting. They are kind of like girls. If they come up and talk to you, it's great. But if you try to talk to them, it doesn't always go so well. - Shigeru Miyamoto

This is too good. I didn't expect to see these things finally implemented in sc2. I'm really excited now.

They'll probably be patched into WoL when HotS comes out.

This is amazing! I'm especially excited about the unranked matchmaking system; it'll help a lot for those that wanted to practice without losing their points. Everything else looks good as well. I can't wait!
