Tribes 2 was a first person shooter game that gave you the ability to change your screen name at any time, and have a customizable clan profile page in the game client itself. Real clan tags were different color text and could only be obtained by invitiation from the clan founder. The best alternative sc2 clans have is either a website (which can be hard to handle sometimes) and a facebook page. What if you had the ability to make a psudo-website clan profile page in battlenet? It was possible 11 years ago with tribes 2, im sure it's possible now lol | ||

It might be "cool" and I don't think many would be against the idea, but would it really be that relevant? It would only appeal to a very small percentage of those who are already playing 1v1 ladder consistently, which isn't many. Most people would still stick to streams where you can see players play from their first person view. It just seems like it would take a lot of resources into adding this feature, and it wouldn't benefit the community much at all. Don't you think it would be reasonable to continue watching streams with those players first person view, and then get some other feature which would actually help to grow the online community? I just honestly don't see the large appeal to watching players in game. I imagine all of them would turn it off if they aren't already streaming. Why offer potential opponents the opportunity to watch you play and learn more about your style with no benefit to yourself? Exactly, there isn't one, so they will just turn it off while not streaming. The one other benefit is if you could watch friends play, but I think that would be even more insignificant. How much time do you really think you would spend watching friends playing? And for that matter, how many other people do you think would regularly take advantage of that type of feature to the point where it would be more valuable than some feature which would keep people logging into the game to (for example) play custom games more often? | ||

Gameplay-wise: Please improve the end-game of SC2. It goes without saying that this is currently the worst aspect of the game. Things like colossus wars in pvp, brood-lord infestor, etc are skill-less and boring. | ||

I voted for "Other -- Please write a comment." Here is my comment. My vote is for an interesting combination of: A way to spectate games in client and watch pros with others. Simplified Custom games area with individually named games. Changing how ladder works and giving you more stats. In game tournament promotion so you can easily see where big tournaments will be. That I mention briefly here. I will elaborate. I think that it could be a really nice feature that would kill several birds with one stone to allow an account to have the ability (maybe purchase?) to create a ladder and/or tournament through the game client. ~ An account that has this ability would be able to add and subtract map, gather statistics, send invitations, remove players, enforce scheduling, make payouts, assign and collect enterence fees, make veto options, show brackets, etc. (I would think the RMAH technology might be leveraged for a bunch of the money related issues.) ~ There would be override controls for scheduling, player slots, tournament or ladder end times, and other things. ~ There would be a way for a ladder season to flow into a tournament, say top 32 of the ladder season make it into the tournament bracket. ~ There would be a way to browse tournament scheduling, browse current tournament games, spectate the games freely, donate to a particular tournament, sign up for a tournament, view tournament stats. ~ For each tournament, there could be an option to run a ladder concurrently with anonymity options for players (like temporary smurf names, match history games not displaying data until after a tourney is over, etc.) in the tournament so the players can practice and so spectators might be able to play alongside the pros on the maps they might be playing for the tournament (and if they are good enough, maybe even against them). ~ Subladders would generally work based off of the primary ladder rating kind of how one ladder rating affects initial placement of other ladder ratings (e.g., 1v1, influencing 2v2), but obviously the number of people joined into that subladder would affect where people ultimately fall and who they might wind up playing against. ~ There should also be a way to leave a tournament or ladder feedback, kind of like in the arcade. With something like this: A) Tournaments and eSports in general get's a lot of support. Blizzard can generate revenue either on when an account purchases the ladder/tourney creation rights, or on a percentage of the prize pool (so something like if you want to have a $500 prize pool, you have to pay $5 to Blizzard assuming 1% is a fair number cut, maybe a tiered system...), or a percentage of enterence fees, etc. -- it opens up a lot of options for increased monetization through SC2, which means it's not only a win for eSports, but a win for Blizzard. B) Map makers have a chance for improved support and recognition, because it would be easy to just create a ladder or tournament with custom maps to draw attention to new stuff. Mappers get more feedback on their maps and can make better strides in improvement of their maps, and thus the map pool and mapping knowledge in general. C) Players get the chance not only to watch the big tournaments more easily, but spectators might get a chance to play against the pros, and if not, at least against other people watching the same tournament. It's a fun community builder. D) The main ladder is still the place to go to get your base MMR and does not become obsolete as the primary balancing testbed. (Maybe??) It may seem like a lot to ask, but in my mind it is one big integrated thing, and again, a solution to many problems at once. I hope others like this idea and help to refine it and vote for it so it will happen. And Blizzard, if you are looking for more manpower and like this idea and want to get it done, please have Liquid'Sheth PM me with the place to send my resume. Dead serious. Edit: Fyi, I posted this on B.net forums since I feel very strongly about this idea. If you ever post there, and you have a mind to do so, please post some discussion about this over there. Many thanks. | ||
