Sure, but it wasn't one of the top issues. | ||

The second list is a wish list, things on that list are what the SC 2 team wants to add beyond the launch, whether it is in patches or expansions. Now, the SC 2 team saw that the rewind feature was heavily requested so they put that feature on the to-do-list, while the online replay feature wasn't requested for as much so it went to the wish list. I'm sure that if people start to request that feature in a polite and constructive manner; that they will add that into the game in one of the earlier patches. It wasn't requested because nobody imagined that it wouldn't be there in the first place. -_- | ||

Why is it ridiculous to expect a sequel to a 10 year old game to ship with online replays, when said feature has been in the game since.. 2001? (I forget which patch added it) There are many SC2 topics that ARE ridiculous, but this is not one of them. WC3 has gone 7 years without online replays. SEVEN YEARS - no 3rd party apps, no blizzard patch no nothing. I'm not risking this with SC2 -_- | ||

First no LAN (hope that we can still authenticate through bnet and then set up a true LAN), then no hotkeys (WTF??? EVERY game has hotkey now), and now no online replays (Hey Blizzard, 1998 is calling...) I think you misunderstood. No custom hotkey doesnt no hotkey. Of course the game will have its default hotkeys. and btw, cant watch replay online with friends is really pain. I think they reserve this feature for their already comfirmed upcoming expansions of the game... Damn Blizzard, dont become EA, just dont T_T | ||

Pardo's "no online replay on release" means "we want to charge you extra for that feature." Microtransactions are going to make this game hilarious. | ||

Second, you think they'd charge on a per replay basis? Of course not! So premium accounts? Well, they haven't even hinted at having premium accounts. I don't think they are going to have this as a pay-to-use service, I think they genuinely didn't realize how important this is. More likely than trying to charge money for it, because it's just not something that lends itself to it very well, considering its history. | ||

Either way, what other explanation do you have for one of the defining features of the game being chopped out? We had a pretty conclusive conclusion that LAN is being removed because blizzard wants to cash in, so what's the excuse here? Add it in the protoss or zerg game and force people to buy that? Why not deliver a full product at launch, especially given the massive development cycle the game's gone through? | ||

They don't understand how important it is because they just don't really get the scene. This is exactly why I fear for the esports scene with blizz in control. They see it happening and want to cash in on it but they clearly don't follow it or know how it works. I'm rather nervous for sc2 after seeing what they pass off as professional WoW. I'm starting to see a trend of: Blizz: "Look how shiny this is!" Players: "Cool, is [x] basic feature in yet?" Blizz: "No we're not actually going to implement that, but look how shiny this is!" Players: "You're not going to add something that was standard in 1999? That blows what are you thinking?" Blizz: "Its not important, look how shiny this is!" | ||

I honestly think they aren't aware of how important it is. | ||
