none at all. we were just hoping there would be a cross-game chat system, but that isn't here (yet).

maybe if you want to sign in with a nicer interface, or if you switch logins between blizzard games a lot.
There is no one like you in the universe.

Its a pretty cool client, but slightly annoying if you are a SEA account holder and play on NA normally. It seems to automatically log you into sea even if your last played region was NA and I haven't noticed anywhere that will let you swap it around unless I am blind.

e. apparently its fixed now? or I was doing something wrong but now it logs in to the appropriate last used realm now regardless of selection in menu

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".


Steam eats 100 mb of RAM too, but yeah, Steam isn't just login tool.


To be honest though, 100 mb of RAM is not much. I gather most people nowadays have at least 2 GB of RAM - SC2 needs at maximum 1 - 1.2 GB of RAM anyway (on Windows 8 at least).
If the client helps getting updates faster (by downloading future updates in the background, etc.), this may be worth the 100mb cost.

Also, if it disturbs anyone, you can just shut the program down.

Hmm it said I couldn't connect to B.net servers so I guess I'll try again tomorrow but overall I like the way that it looks.

if you have two account, this client will be quite troublesome.
it automatically log into your account that you used for the b.net client. so if you want to log into your other account, you will have to log out after you got into the game.

The hope is that eventually it'll skip the in-game login screen and let you chat and form parties outside of the game so you don't have to keep the heavy client running just to partake in the social side of it, but it's still beta at the moment so it's just friends list/updater/feed reader.

It already does this, as well as allows region switching without having to logout and then login again.

That's basically all it does at the moment though.

Not a bad first effort. A couple more features like chat and this will be super useful to me.

I am trying to take blizzard seriously with their "Battle.Net Desktop Client" but when i saw Dota2 in game client for watching tournament, this looks like something you would give your 1 year old kid to play with.

Because i am hopelessly here till i have someone to play with Starcraft, dreaming the day that blizzard do something like dota in game client. Can even imagine how good would it be do watch Dreamhack with that....

The Battle.Net train has derailed in 2010, and all they've done since was just sending more power to the engines.

What is it with Blizzard and not implementing chats?

It is highly confusing to me, how you could think that it's a non-priority feature...

As far as I know Blizzard are introducing a chat feature, this is still in beta.
We make expand, then defense it.

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.
[spoiler/] You submitted that as feedback? Otherwise you should. I won't use a client with too many pixels.
