You can't click the button lol. When you hover over it, it just shows battle.net id, status icon, game - server, and time online... basically everything you already see -.-

Is there a news post with links from Blizzard? I feel iffy about direct download from those links without an actual announcement.

The client is quite neat, very clean and one-click to play games. No chat function sucks though.

This is the same thing that happened when global play was launched they waited a few weeks to release it but it was implemented ahead of time

Links i provided are from the official download page for it since i have beta access for awhile now. Client does work for every account now

i would think one of the main features of this would be global chat from the client, but its not there, epic.

I just like the convenience of not logging in anymore.

When I put in my username and password, the log in button is greyed out... Checked the settings... nothing.

edit: figured it out, restarted the client and works fine.

once chat goes in and they can start looking at game specific stuff (parties, game invites, ladder queuing) this will be great, at the moment it's a very heavy friends list that updates your games.

Awesome, downloading now.

EDIT: Upon using it and browsing it for about 5 minutes, it looks really nice and is responsive, but it eats up almost 100K memory in the background which is quite a lot for a "log in tool".

Yeah, RAM is super tight these days. I am really squeezed with 8GB of ram.

I kept looking for a chat interface. Can't believe this doesn't have chat.

Why would I use this if there's no chat and no clan interface(bulletin boards, clan news, etc).
Can you even check your own in-game profile?

there's actually a huge bunch of things they haven't added, hence why it's called beta :p

some things that are WIP

> settings

enable battle.net sounds
launch battle.net minimized
use proxy server for lan
install games after downloading

some annoying things i don't like

so much wasted space at the top banner, all it says is games/news. likely chat should fit up there in the future, and clans or something.

if you click on your sc2 name to get your b.net id, you can't actually copy and paste it (even though if you try it looks like you can for a second). a click event should keep the b.net id open so you can copy&paste.

for some reason you have like 10 things in an option dropdown (patch notes, uninstall, repair, etc), and then randomly Redeem a Code beside the Options button. So inconsistent. should either have more things in that header section, or remove the Redeem a Code and find another place to put the Options dropdown. (i see in other games there's a "Upgrade Available" button, but i'm not sure how Redeem a Code is related to these three. The Options dropdown should be done better though still.

There are way too many external links, etc, options dropdown, reading comments.

This is getting into really anal territory, but in the list of games (WoW, D3, SC2), on the selected game with the blue square, the padding to the left is 4pixels, but the padding to the right of the square is 5pixels. Idk how I noticed that but I did LOL

Also, in the dropdown box you use to select your region, I'm not sure what the option "Live" is supposed to mean.

I'm also not a fan of how Patch Notes are fullscreen attached to the client, but not Settings. A bit more consistent would be nice.
