Just install the game with a disc from a friend and then play LAN allday everyday. Edit: Also, why the fuck is everyone so angry at Blizzard? They have to work on Starcraft 2, WoW: Mists of Pandaria and Dota 2 and you all whine about them not working on whatever little thing you want fixed?? If you don't like the game then just don't play it and stop your goddamn whining? QQ moar. Whoa calm down son. The amount of people who will pirate SC2 will be pretty insignificant. There's like 3 million accounts. A couple thousand pirating the game is more important than a very large part of your customers? | ||

Group Replays Its on "the list". They realize the game needs it and in general they want a more meaningful way to distribute replays across battle.net. It's on "the list"? Well great, it wasn't like it was that damn hard to do it for BW, honestly when you're raking in almost a billion a year gross (or is it more now?) it should take like a weekend to make a patch to implement it. | ||

The reconnect a la LoL better not force you to sit there until the game is finished before you can start a new one. It would basically make lagging out a non issue in high level tournaments. How many high level games have we seen where one player is slightly winning but then lags out and it's awkward trying to decide the winner? With this, you'd just pause and allow the player to restart the computer and log back in or something. The spectating high level games would be SICK. | ||

They will have some ranking/rating features and will have a system to make sure only good user-submitted content is being charged for. This scares me. When I read it I think the free content will be terrible and the only good UMS maps will cost.. I'm hoping I'm wrong. Asked David about how he "balances" (sorry LOL) Kennigit you made me grin | ||

As it stands now, it basically says they won't add LAN, and the game is "pretty balanced." This is endlessly annoying and frustrating for fans to hear without a good explanation. But it's encouraging to see them say they want to add offline options for tournaments - it doesn't necessarily need to be LAN, there just needs to be a way to provide a lagless/perfect game between players. There has to be a way to utilize battle.net server such that you've logged on, and then rely on a local connection thereafter, if that's really the issue (and a way for blizzard to monetize, of course). heres a vid: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=278125 | ||

Also, (and I honestly can't imagine that this would be horribly difficult for them to do) Blizzard should scale their map pool with the skill level of the players on ladder. So if you're in Bronze League, then you play on maps that are easier to understand, even if they might have some imbalances (such as Xel'Naga Caverns). Then, the higher and higher you get, they should start implementing MLG variants of maps and adding in maps that have special features such as gasless or rich gas expansions or fixed starting locations and also making the maps more aimed for the later stages of the game. Obviously this hasn't been something that they talked about, but I can't imagine it would be horribly difficult for Blizzard to do and it would make ladder "fun" for lower league players and also make it a tool to practice for higher level players. | ||
