The State of Battle.net 2.0 - StarCraft 2

Comment below with your thoughts!

I want to make this perfectly clear: I absolutely love Blizzard. I just think they are making a HUGE mistake with the direction of B.net 2.0. Please do not take this as a rant, lets keep it constructive!

(A quote from their feedback forum)

"Say that blizzard is a restaurant, Starcraft 2 is the food they serve and battlenet 2.0 is the waiter that brings you the food.

Now the food is hands down awesome, it's the best thing you've ever ate, in fact it's so good your mouth orgasms when your tongue touches that culinary delight.

How ever the waiter is a dick.

He doesn't allow you to talk to any one else at the table, but you can whisper to some one close to you as long as no one else hears what you're saying (no chat channels).
When you see some friends of yours at the next table he doesn't allow you to get up and go to them unless you order the exact same thing you've ordered at your table once you reach their table (no xrealm)
If you want salt on your food you have to pay extra, if you want pepper you have to pay extra, if you want to use the napkin, you have to pay extra, if you want a tooth pick, you have to pay extra, if you want to go to the bathroom you have to pay extra (map marketplace).
While you order the waiter places a microphone under your table in order to gather personal information about you, information that he will use to make statistics and sell to other restauranats.
Sharing food between you and your loved one is completly forbidden since there have been case where people would eat for free by doing this (no lan)
The plates, knives, forks and the dinner table are filled with adds.
At the end of the lunch you can't see the whole bill, just the first 2 items you've baught and how much the overall price is, but not the price for the individual items (no world wide ranking)

Now would you WANT to go again to the same restaurant? Even if the food is good?

Would you really be surprised if some one would say "let's not go here anymore until they fire that waiter?" "

--Back in the days of Brood War, they had millions of dollars in potential profit losses due to the fact that LAN was abused by companies such as KeSPA to broadcast top level Starcraft tournaments without Blizzard's permission. Now, they're removing LAN to lock down all multiplayer activity in their game. Basically, if you play ANY multiplayer mode on Battle.net, Blizzard will know about it. If you're trying to make an illegal tournament, they will find out and you will be in trouble.----

I haven't played SC2 since I completed the campaign; because of the awefull new battle.net 2.0. (Went back playing WC3 as that game works as intended)

Now I know they put chatrooms back, but how's the other stuff going? Clansupport? Namechange? Lan? showing real names/email? custom games where you can actually play anything else than the most popular? etc...

blizzard skimped sc2 when it comes to lan -_-" they whent their finger in the pie just like apple.... f*ck blizzard

[2frenchfrog]

im totally dissapointed in sc2.Blizzard will never get another dime from me,I guarantee.apparantly,you dont actually buy the game when you hand over 80$ can, your only buying a license to use the game.so when my friend and I got to his house up north,not only were we unable to play head to head,we were not even able to play at all after day 30,leaving us totally screwed for the remaining five weeks after that.seriously,with as much restraint as I can,blizzard can go fuck themselves.
