I think it comes down to exactly this. Barely a word has been spoken about online replays (just some passing comments really). | ||

I personally agree with FA that Blizzard seems unaware of how much we want this feature. It's somewhat troubling that some of the most wanted features are being put on the backburner for other things. It really makes me wonder just what is going on with Blizzard's priorities here. | ||

Yup, rewinding replays is definitely requested more than watching replays online. This is because we all just assumed it was a guaranteed feature because it was in SC1. | ||

It seems too simple... Some magical stuff must be happening with the rewinding in order to make this a difficult process.. that could be so entwined with the replay format that they can't simply disable rewinding and boom it works. Still, this is a disappointment. Surely Blizzard understands that announcing all of these cuts is just going to anger people. Where are my rose colored glasses, Blizzard? You forgot to send me a pair. I am still optimistic overall... but my confidence will be waning if this keeps up.. | ||

The closest I've gotten to watching a replay with friends was when I watched Tasteless commentate the GOM invitational, his enthusiastic outbursts were awesome, they kinda affirmed my own thoughts about what was going on most of the time (except for the times when he turned out to know better), and he made my watching that much more involved and fun. If watching a replay with friends is anything like that then it's a feature that cannot be excluded. | ||

They mayhaps saw that and figured they gotta get in on the action. It was funny. Then sad. Wait till we have to pay fees to access the only place where pro-level SC is played. | ||

How many people would be left out internationally due to only having 56k dial-up? That is silly if somebody has slow internet and don't want to wait that long or get kicked then that is not a reason to remove that option for everybody else. He loose nothing becouse of that option, that is like putting only extra high latency becouse they don't to require only IP with good pings to they servers. Anyway technically it would work even with 56k modem it would just take time, so it would meet minimum requirements, and when somebody watch replay with friends then chatting for 5 minutes while it is downloading may be an option for them. | ||

Note: As long as they get it out there with in 6 months or so of the initial release it's fine, to me. But why would he say something like that when the game lacks a release date? What's stopping you from pushing back the release date a month or so to develop some additional features to be ready at launch. Saying that features that they mean to put on there but wont have by release just eggs people on for bad reviews of the game. As most review games at release not a few months down the line. | ||

Really I just think the RP department for blizzard is doing a horrible job at keeping the communities happy, as them seem to word their statements and interviews in the worst way possible, or at least the communities look for the worst way to take it. | ||
