An honest question. If you only play starcraft is there any reason to use this?

FYI : Friendlist only show "real" friends that you have added by their mail !

Definitly missing the main important function of this : chat client !

However, it looks very promising =]

He probably meant how. And you get asked to authenticate (atleast for the first time) when you boot up the battle.net client, and once when you get into Starcraft. But I'm assuming this happens never again if logging in from the same IP just like before.

Is the client down for anyone else?

Does it add older games like Diablo2 or War3 to the launcher? Or is this just Bnet 2.0 games? (I don't have any older installed).

When you log in, it will ask you for your authenticator, after that, everytime you open up this application you are good to go and you dont need to log in again. Press "Play game" and you'll be in whatever game you want to be.

Unless you downloaded it or got into the beta, it won't appear. Mine didn't appear on my account until after I downloaded it.

Seems for now there is only newer games on it. Which sucks tbh. Although best thing so far is you don't need to type in passwords, once you have ticked for desktop client to remember.

Just grabbed the client, really like the clean visuals. The setting to change the functionality of the X button is also nice. I like that you can set install and download directories, but I wish it had a way to change the directory of a currently installed game. The news reader is nice too (yay comments are hidden).

Should have Battle.net App Beta option after you download it and login (or something like that). It's legit lol
