What I *THINK* they said, however, is that they wouldn't have Brood War USA-1 or op ToT), that type of channel. Unless I misheard, during the Bnet 2.0 panel they said there will NOT be chat channels for Bnet 2.0 - not at launch anyway. Why? "Because we have something much bigger planned, chat channels are messy". Can someone please tell me I misunderstood them? I hope they AT LEAST have country channels. | ||

It really doesn't make much sense to not have chat channels at all. I'm not a fan of the "we'll have it eventually, just not at launch" statement that Blizzard uses sometimes, given how long "eventually" turns out to be for the company. | ||

What we do just mass games off the AMM system and never talk to anyone but ingame? That sucks ass, and is boring as shit. How also can we ever obs a game if you can't talk to people and find out there playing? What they have a button to join a random game to obs? That's how games for windows live works - fucking retarded system.

Blizzard is continuing down the path of 'hey lets copy what is working for these guys' instead of improving on what they currently have. Next big announcement will be "Players won't have names anymore and chat will be limited to a few phrases in a dropdown box - We feel this will cut down conflicts in game and promote friendlier gamers. Plus we have big plans for this later on". Ala the Windows online games (poker, checkers, etc). | ||

The main goal of Blizzard is to sell the most copies they can, and it wouldn't be a good thing for them to cut off chat channels.

In blizzard we trust!!! | ||

You don't understand, the larger a company gets, the more distorted its perception of what better becomes. EDIT: In retrospect, if its something like how they did WoW channels then it should be alright. | ||

Lol that reminds me: Rob Pardo: I mean really, how many people here actually play our games offline? *Entire Audience*: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Rob Pardo: ......... really? College kids aren't connected? (to be fair, he re-asked the question in a clearer way, but a decent number of people still "wooo":ed) | ||
