If you gave me the choice between online replays and replay rewind, I'd go with online replays every time. Same goes with all the other poll options.

LAN is the only other close choice for me.

I picked it because that's what I want the most of those options. Everyone always says, "well you don't need lan anymore because everyone has internet now". My friends and I still get together and have all night lan parties, and believe it or not, we have them in a friend's basement that doesn't have a fast enough connection for all of us to get on bnet at once and have a good game. Yes Bnet is fine and dandy, but some of the funnest SC games I've ever played are with friends on a lan. None of the other poll options matter to me nearly as much, though I understand that for a lot of people that isn't the case.

I know people have suggested they might let you authenticate over Bnet, and then play with lan speed. If that turns out to be the case, I'll be completely satisfied. It seems like a lot of people assume this is how it will work, but I haven't seen any statement from Blizz confirming this.

Fuck there are too many important features that aren't included. I assumed Replays and LAN games were just a basic CORE that I wouldn't even define as a feature. Observer tools would be nice but fuck, reps and LAN first.

Watching replays with friends has been one of the best ways for me to learn so I hope it gets patched in pretty fast, I'm still disappointed it was never implemented in War3

Importance.

-Watch Reps with friends

-OBS features (OBS for SC always felt shitty cuz you had to guess what they where building etc it had no details)

-Replay Rewind

-Replay Analysis Tools

-LAN (I don't necessarily care about lan all i care about is a low lag time I don't give a shit on how that is achieved.)

-Other.

In game UI features i guess would be other such as being able to re-organize the UI getting apm and mineral stats etc. I've always preferred to watch then play sc as I'm not very competitive by nature.

This Indeed

I don't get this why can't people just connect to battle.net and play each other ON A LAN over Battle.net. Why do they wanna play each other through direct LAN instead of over Battle.net ...like there wont be ANY difference. -.-

Watching Replays online with friends is by far the most important, its the best way to learn and also allot of fun.

Guess what, it's because we usually meet in a place that doesn't have internet.

Observer tools and Replays with friends are the most important.

But I picked Observer tools over Replays with friends because if even they don't allow you to watch with replays with friends, you can still manually sync up with each other manually using vent or some other chat program.

The most important feature there is LAN imo, but LAN doesn't effect me as much, so the most important feature for ME is watching replays online with others.

#1: No hacking.

#2: Reduced lag... dunno if there is anything the game can do about this though but maybe Bnet2.0 could perhaps?

LAN of course...
but "Watching Replays Online with Friends" is also very important because sc1 had it so sc2 must have this feature. you can learn lots of things when you and your friend(s) together watch and analyse a game
replay rewind would be nice. i missed it from sc1 too

ps: first comment after reading this site from 2008 may almost every day

Watching reps, all reps would have to be streamed otherwise, which seems like a pain.

fufufufufuu fuck, LAN, Replays online, and replay rewind are all equally important to me. But I listed them in order of importance.
If spock were here his logic sensors would overload.
