We're literally getting everything except LAN. Oh well. This is some goddamn good shit regardless. I just wish pros were provided some low-latency way of playing, especially in a game where missing a forcefield can lose you the game.

Also missing rejoin team game when you DC, but oh well

Excellent news Blizzard! Maybe late, but better late than never, and at least it shows they do listen a little bit right? :D

Awesome news! With these features SC2 is finally becoming the game everybody expected it to be. Too bad we still have to wait until HotS release

Also sucks to be one of those guys who bought like 7 copies of WoL in order to play in other servers. 5 or 4 of those copies are gonna become pretty much useless.

So they finally want to upgrade bnet 0.2 to battlenet 1.2? Sounds pretty good to me. Especially the resume replay function.

That could allow noobs to just hop into a game that has been played by pros for 20 minutes and have fun with what they already builded or just skipping the early game and just practice lategame macro and big engagements.

And of course they could just continiue from this replays if there is a disconect in a big tournement.

All an all very happy if they really implement all of this

Its nice that they listen to the complaints.

Sick with the multiplayer replay viewer. I think the unranked ladder is silly though. Just cave in to all the casual's ladder fear!

I expected them to do something like this eventually, it would be unbelievably stupid not to but then there's the lack of LAN...

It feels great to see that they're working on improving, nevertheless. Especially with the replay resume feature when it was so easy for a user here on TL to implement.

I don't mean to sound disparaging, but these are all features that should have been present in WoL since day 1. Still, they appear to at least be trying.

This, a hundred times this.

Rejoing team games after DC and a way for low ping / lan-like connection between players in tournament settings are still left to be done.

Have they talked about what HotS will be priced at? Is it going to be full retail, or less?

I'm really glad that this is all going to be implemented, but it feels the same way as when I was watching close position Shattered Temple games at Blizzcon... It took a disaster for this to come to mind for Blizzard?

Allot of stuff is still missing though, it truly is slightly better or on par with Battle.Net 1.0 now, maybe you now could call it an early beta of Battle.Net 1.2? The social aspect and the UI is still horrible.
