Facebook recently changed their API usage policy and decided to prevent third-party games like StarCraft II from utilizing their network to make social connections. Because of that, we removed the Facebook friend-finder feature from StarCraft II in patch 1.5.4.

While the changes that Facebook made are out of our control, don’t forget that we’re adding a bunch of cool social features to Heart of the Swarm, such as Clans and Groups. If you have access to the Swarm beta, you can log in and try them out now.

As always, thanks for your continued enthusiasm and support for StarCraft II.

I was so happy when they removed this from all the other games I played. It was the worst joke in Vindictus lol.

Great. Always hated every cross platform tool that forces you to give up your anonymity instead of giving you the option to choose. I hope they go after the WoW/Diablo 3 were you couldn't put yourself on invisible mode for whenever you just want to be alone.

How is it a good change? It was a pretty useful feature that let me connect with a lot of IRL friends. Granted, most of them don't play the game anymore, but it was still nice to populate my friends list for the first several weeks. The only bad thing about the feature is that it may have taken development time away from other things like chat channels, but that doesn't really matter now.

Good. This one annoying guy that I used to have on Facebook used that thing once every week or two on SC2 even after I kept rejecting his friend request. I ended up just unfriending him.

It was actually one of the only good features around. I probably added from facebook around 15 or so people I wouldn't have otherwise. Hell, I was actually surprised at some of the people that had the game with facebook integration.


Now it feels like there really isn't anything to offer for Battle.net 2.0 vs regular Battle.net =/.

This is a bit of a weird action for facebook to take; what could possibly have been bad about it on their end?

As far as SC2 goes, my experience won't change one bit, of course.

You are SO cool ayaz2810.

Seriously, why do people hate Facebook Integration. Give me a legitimate reason other than "It's trendy to hate Facebook." At launch I was able to instantly add 8 or 10 of my friends who were playing SC2. Now it's gone and my friends list in HotS will likely look like a graveyard again.

EDIT: So much hate for a feature that people never tried...

In no way is this a good change (although I guess seeing as this didn't work, you could argue that it is).

Facebook integration certainly shouldn't (and likely wasn't, it's not a feature that takes a lot time to implement) a priority feature, but it was damn useful for those of us with real-life friends (I only have RL friends on my Facebook) who play. Now I've got to add everybody seperately, which is a pain in the arse, plus I might have buddies that play the game that I didn't know about!

It was a useful feature, but at this point all of my friends who bandwagoned sc2 are now either quit or so casual they hop on once a month.

Bummer cause theyll probably be back with hots release.

I hope there will be an option to import the friends list from WoL because it'll be an annoying hassle otherwise.

I think it'll just connect to your WoL account. Like if you have HotS beta, it has all the friends you've added on your PTR accounts in the past, so the same should happen when you add HotS to your account for real.

Oh well. I got my friends from Facebook that I wanted, I don't need it any longer.
Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

All your friends are added to your battle.net account, if they are on your friends list now, they will be in HotS, just like if you bought Diablo 3, they'd be listed in that too (at least the ones added by email address are, and the ones added battle.net tag)
