We are forced to pay AGAIN to get features promised in game we already bought - WoL. Shame on them unless they provide all this features in WoL patch for free. | ||

These features are great (and needed). | ||

I'm sure those things crossed Blizzard's mind during developement but their priority were elsewhere. The game engine, building the framework of battle.net 2.0, not only for SC2 but for World of Warcraft and Diablo 3. I think most of the work went into the game engine and made sure you can actually play it. They also probably looked at Battle.net 1.0 and saw what people were actually using things for, they initially scrapped chat channels in battle.net 2.0 because they found that chat channels in the first one were dominated of spammers and the like which isn't ideal. It was a bad idea to remove chat channels but I can understand their thought process. They probably went over all the stuff and cut things that they thought would speed up developement time by quite a bit. (remember, SC2 was in developement for ages). I also think that after WoW Blizzard kind of forgot that what works for a MMO doesn't always work for an RTS. (The lack of Global play) for example. Although Blizzard made some terrible decisions not including some crucial things It's probably not because of some marketing scheme. They prefer had all that stuff at launch and for HoTs come with actual new exciting changes to Battle.net instead of these overdue things. Yeh im sure there priorities were designing cool units like the collosus and the mauruders. Developing nice maps like steppes of war and incinetation zone, and making that facebook implementation stuff that nobody cares about, while having no clue what the community reallye wanted (really want chat channels?) | ||

But these features were never promised to us for WoL, which is what Pirtrocelli explicitely states: We are forced to pay AGAIN to get features promised in game we already bought - WoL. And that's just bullshit. Sure it's debatable how important some/all of these features are and whether they should've been in the game from the beginning. But straight out accusing Blizzard of lying and badmouthing them for that, well that's stupid. When you complain, be fair. | ||

Global Play Multilanguage support Clan/group system Unranked matchmaking Multiplayer replay viewing Are all fine, new things, i really like Global play, if they can improve the lagproblems. Multi language support is a nice little fun thing and we will see how the Clan support will be executed. Multiplayer resume from replay The main question is: Will it be patched into WoL like Blizzard do to some features in WoW at the time they release addons? If not it is a brilliant move form a business point of view. Because every serious offline tournament (and big online cup´s too) will switch immediately to Hots to avoid issues like the GSTL drama no matter how good Hots is balance at release. | ||

Believe it or not big percentage of former WoL players are done with Blizzard after 2 dissapointing years. People buying subpar products over and over again degraded into passive - milking cow position. You get candy, instantly forget about bad history and scream "Take my money !" Until consumers like this are extinct companies will be cutting content out of game and providing subpar products .. enjoy it, u are the one causing it | ||

Does this mean that next time my friend says: " I would have won that game from that position", I can acually prove him wrong with something else than valid arguments?  And no more regames? Final nail in the LAN-support coffin but can't feel to bad by that. | ||
