We are not getting this features.
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.

Not really. Only thing is clan support. Stop complaining about everything and anything.

These features are great (and needed).

How dare Blizzard re add features Grrrrrr. Should have left Bnet as it is. Its almost like they realized they screwed up and are trying to correct their mistake it makes me soooo mad.

its not that we are mad that we will now have these features. its that blizzard intentionally left out basic functionalities that previous incarnations of a ~12 year old starcraft had [or other lesser RTS games] in order to readd them later to make more money. owning WoL feels like i bought an 2012 aston martin with a tape deck and roll down windows and its just frustrating


That's a pretty big call. It is also possible that Blizzard just had completely the wrong idea about what the community valued in the previous game and have been playing catch up since then. The improvements they have made since launch suggests the latter to me. Companies make mistakes and to just assume they do them on purpose is a tad extreme.

You're suggesting they intentionally sabotaged their major release product so as to provide old features during the expansion. What if WOL completely flopped? It's not impossible but I find it highly unlikely that they would do this on purpose.

admittedly its just my opinion. if, while designing the biggest and most anticipated rts sequel of all time, Multiplayer resume from replay, Global Play, Multilanguage support, Clan/group system, Unranked matchmaking and Multiplayer replay viewing seem like things that never crossed blizzards minds as things that could be added to sc2 [while most have existed in other, older, blizzard games with overwhelming positive feedback], or you believe that they believed the community would not enjoy then you are free to take the other side.


Contray to popular belief, despite the cash cow that's World of Warcraft Blizzard doesn't has an endless amounts of resources to work with when developing a game. 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?)

You mean everyone will flood to the Korean server.

resume from replay is a pretty significant implementation that should have been in WoL...

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.

Finally, they implement standard things which were available on Bnet 1.0 and WC3.

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.

Yeah the main is if it all these features will be patched into Wings Of Liberty or not, I don't see how they wouldn't do that since everyone would rage shit at them but still this is an amazing step forward in esports and Starcraft 2 as a game.

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

Yay for unanked matchmaking and holy crap for restarting from replays.

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.

Load games from replays.... Load the game from Blizzcon finals last game MVP vs Nestea and do anything BUT build 30 bl and I think that is a won game.
