EPTand I bet when they find out how important it is to everyone that replays be shareable, then I can't imagine there being much if any difficulty in making that happen. If they want this game to be so successful, and they seem to be putting a lot of eggs in this basket (ex. GOM) then I woul surely be surprised if they did not try their best to make the game complete and everyone reasonably happy.

I seriously doubt that when it comes to watching replays online with friends. If you care enough for that feature you are most likely hardcore enough to buy the expansion no matter what anyhow. It just doesn't make a good bullet point on the back of a box. | ||

How the game is played has no effect on the possibility of online replays. I can watch my hours long replays just fine in SC. | ||

Not being able to watch replays together over bnet is not the same as not being able to share replays over bnet. Just pointing that out. | ||

Also wc3 games are full of action, you might not understand whats going on, but it is constant back and forth (if the players are any good). Also once again in dota there is plenty going on, it is just DOTA. Anyway im sure this feature will be out for release if people ask for it when beta comes out. Everyone needs a chill pill. How many different ways does Browder have to word "We will change almost anything in beta if the fans want it"? | ||

And who knows how long of a list exists for things they plan to work out during beta, such as latency issues. Is beta going to last as long as it needs to or is that list just going to get cut short when the deadline comes? I really just can't understand how these two statements coexist: "We won't give a release date because we're not going to release it until it's ready and we don't know when that is." "We like that feature and we want it to be in the game but it won't be there at release." Even if you say that they can't have everything that they want at release or the game will never be released, there's such a thing called polish. The more things in at release, especially things that people definitely expect from a 2009/2010 RTS, the more polished the game is and the bigger the initial wave will be. Seriously. SC2 may be (and probably is) a great game, but the old Blizzard wouldn't be leaving out what seems to be a growing list of features just to hit a release date. I understand that certain aspects take time, but just saying that they will work on it later seems like the *non-Blizzard* way out. This attitude seems to be a common theme with their development as well starting with the split campaigns (we will just work on the others later), custom hot keys (add them in later), LAN (don't even try to add that), and now online replays. Blizzard has a reputation for not releasing a game until it is ready even if it means delaying it until it is a little past the optimum window and although I know most people just want to play the game, I would rather see them release a complete package and come out swinging instead of empty promises that they will just "add it later". | ||

But...as I played the game until today without it, i dont care too much, i always see replays/VODs alone. Edit About voice chat, there is one recent interview, Sigaty one, where he confirmed it. Question: Can you tell us anything about the voice chat on battle.net? Chris Sigaty: There will be voice chat. source: http://starcraft2.4players.de/interview_chris_sigaty_en.php | ||

Yes... you just make a game and where you would select map you select the replay. People can join the game and download it from you that way and then you can all watch it at the same time. | ||

I spoke with them at blizzcon about the possibility of voice chat and they came back with well why bother implementing it when players already have vent which does a great job? Why bother trying to create something integrated when the benchmark is already set so high with vent. | ||
