Or.... Blizzard is going to make a great game even better. Optimism . The SC2 community is filled with positive, forward-looking people.

New features released during LotV will be:

Weekly competitions
Social features (better chat channels)
Clan ladder

And we'll dish another 60$ out for that =/
Don't let those anti-cheese advocates tell you what to do. Rush to meet life head on!

" And finally, we have exciting news coming out of Korea as KeSPA and OnGameNet commit to all-new StarCraft II leagues, joining GomTV's GSL and GSTL to create an all-new StarCraft II eSports landscape. Add all of that to the 2012 Blizzard World Championship Series, and the StarCraft II community is already off to an epic 2012 in what could be the most exciting eSports year yet."

There's been a lot of hype about the legendary, "god-like" BW competitors moving over to SC2. This is more than understandable when you consider the caliber of the players. I too, am just as excited. However, many of us are curiouse about how this will affect the scene that we all have built together already. How will KeSPA affect the SC2 scene? Will it work out for the best?

To assume that there will be a smooth transition is a child's novel thought. There will most deffinately be a level of conflict and turmoil. The question is "how long will it last?" Will the companies of SC2 be affected in a big way? Will some of them be bought out, die out?

There has been a very strong effort to help this transition blend as smoothly as possible. The Esports Federation seems to be it. The ability to comat KeSPA in a legal manor by simply uniting under one name to ensure that everyone is treated equaly. On top of that, Blizzard has formaly recognized the Esports Federation. I hope every day that this transition goes as planned.

Many of us have put this by the way side and are hoping for the best. We should not be waiting, but acting. Just because one select groupe of people have made an effort does not meen that we have been relieved of our duty to help carry our share of the load.

You are right, we should be mad at them for finally putting in features we want. We should rage at them for putting in features we have been asking since beta. That's the way to do it! Appreciation shows weakness!
When I think of something else, something will go here

Some people complain for the sake of complaining.... at least they're attempting to fix the problems I am pumped for all these changes, hopefully they can make the experience like the old bnet. Glad Blizzard is finally listening to the community.

Did you guys never buy expansion packs before? Brood war/ Lord of Destruction/ The Frozen Throne didn't add that much content to the game besides some new singleplayer stuff and some new units/classes etc. Yet we all bought the expansions. What's different about the way SC2 is doing it? It's 2 expansions (~$40 a piece) over the span of 3-4 years.

he's making a reference to war3 bnet and how all we've had is a downgrade of older titles.

Why would casual players (non pros) need smurfs?

For all the people bitching saying that they're making us pay for these features, I'm pretty sure they say the features will be out "around the time" of HOTS, not as part of HOTS. Sounds to me like the features will be out for WOL, just released at roughly the same time as HOTS.

The difference between then and now is all the cool stuff was in the original game, now that stuff is used as incentive to purchase the expansion. Why do I get the feeling this has been their plan all along. Before the community even started commenting about it.

they dont. I dont know why non pros buy extra copies anyway, why does ladder matter 60 bucks for someone that doesn't make money off the game?

I was looking for the complainer, i didn't think someone would still find a way to complain about this but i was to foolish and naive.

But after this besides unit balances i don't think people will have a reason to complain. Essentially Blizzard if fixing everything i can think of non actual game play wise

Their plan was to make a shitty game then fix it with expansions? I don't see how that is good marketing but i'm not a business guy so perhaps im wrong

Good stuff good stuff, still no LAN support but the resume from replay thingy is probably the next best thing.

It's a good compromise I think.
