Thanks for finally deciding to show up to the party Blizzard.

Spoiler

and thanks for making people pay $40 to get shit that is supposed to be free.

Edit: I should F5 next time.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I dig the new features. Some of them should have been there before, but at least they're evolving things with the expansion.

 

[Holden]

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/53...roduction_Director_Chris_Sigaty-5_7_2012#blog

thats what wings of liberty should of had

 

[Awesome Animals]

Oh, the unranked matchmaking should be nice.

 

[syllogism]

They didn't say it's for HotS only

 

[Yoshichan]

Unranked matchmaking
Multiplayer replay viewing

HOLY TITSSSSSSS FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

 

[MrKnives]

So good.
Only thing scares me is the "at or around the release of Heart of the Swarm"

 

[ultron87]

Cool features.

Unranked matchmaking is nice but I still wish they'd let you have separate ladder ranks for each race.

 

[Deadman]

I guess 2 years late is better than never

 

[Holden]

^ sad but true

 

[Pandaman]

a global ladder with region preferences for matchmaking would be nice.
sort of like how they do it in fighting games; you have to choose to be able to be matched up with eu/asia players on ranked.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Getting frustrated again. I had a nice run (10 straight wins!) and now I'm getting my butt handed to me again. I'm having trouble dealing with late game Zerg and Protoss. It seems if I don't get the kill in the mid-game, I'm probably going to lose.

It almost makes me want to start doing the early cheese--er, pressure builds by default. I've never liked those builds much, but it seems like if I don't start going that way that I'm just going to keep slipping behind on the meta game. But holy crap, it would be nice to have some chance in the late game.

 

[Corran Horn]

Wow basic battle.net features are being added. hurray.

 

[Yoshichan]

Now we can officially call it Battle.net 2.0!

 

[Corran Horn]

No. It will still be 1.0 until they fix alot more. Don't forget the custom game scene is a joke due to battlenet

 

[Yoshichan]

1.5 then? Deal?

 

[Corran Horn]

1.5 then? Deal?

.9 when this hots fix goes up.

 

[Yoshichan]

 

[Ty4on]

So good.

Yeah... :/

It would however be a great carrot to move MLG, Gom, KeSPA(?)... over to using HoTS.

 

[Pandaman]

Yeah... :/

short of a spectacular design failure, the money goes with the crowd: to hots.

 

[PhoenixDark]

This x100

We pretty much guessed this basic stuff would be put behind a pay wall/expansion. I can understand the dc issue taking awhile to address, but clan support? Unranked ladders? That's stuff that was in wc3 a decade ago at launch

 

[Pandaman]

i wonder if the unranked ladder will track mmr seperatelly.

 

[Holden]

in diablo 3 you select the region you want to be in the settings. So im sure its going to queue you at the location you selected

so like BW or SEA server then.

 

[Holden]

prob like sea server

 

[Pandaman]

prob like sea server

so functionality that already exists coming in the future if you pay.

yep, sounds about right.

[Holden]

stats for pcbangs in korea

sc2 drops to 19th
bw stays at 4th

FUCK YA
BW BW BW.

Spoiler

rip bw and sc2,

 

[PhoenixDark]

I'm glad they aren't charging for Global Pay. Of course you'd think that would be a no-brainer but with Blizzard you never know. Good to see they aren't trying to nickle and dime people with this. The Diablo III version is free too

I wish they'd add instant tournament creation like WC3 as well. It would be cool to be able to jump into a diamond only tournament on the fly and see how you do

 

[Tntnnbltn]

i wonder if the unranked ladder will track mmr seperatelly.

From what I read, it uses your ladder MMR for seeking but then wins/losses don't affect your MMR.

 

[Yoshichan]

Will HotS be 40 or 60 bucks?

 

[Pandaman]

probably the best way to do it.

trial by fire for race switchers though.

 

[Holden]

40 prob

 

[Yoshichan]

40 prob

Fuck yeah :3

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

Fuck yeah :3

He said "prob" because they haven't said. Don't get your hopes up too much. This is the company that charges full price for their games 3 years after they come out.

FROM THE SC2 TOURNY THREAD - Quote this as much as you can so I can get this done ASAP:

I've come up with a few lists:

People on SC2 Rank List with no Forum Name:

- Dingus
- damisa
- Profit

People without a TimeZone:

- Hazaro
- (._.)
- Tashi
- Q8D3vil
- Dizzy
- Striek
- BigAT
- Mystery
- Zen

People who aren't on the SC2 Rank List but added themselves:

- Pancakes
- AdventureRacing
- lawlohwhat
- DTKT
- Son1x
- Berg Ark

If you know the forum name of the people who are on the SC2 Rank list I listed, let me know.

If you're on the list for time zones, let me know your time zone. If you know the time zone for someone else, let me know that too.

If you're not on the SC2 Rank list but added yourself, play your placement matches or give me your last rank so I can seed you.

 

[jersoc]

so excited about unranked matches. finally can just play for fun more than worrying about losing

[Pandaman]

in brighter news, since im now a diamond terran and diamond protoss, i can mock everyones play!

 

[Holden]

remind you that terran and protoss is the opposite of zerg

zerg is hard to learn but easier to master
but terran and protoss is easier to learn but harder to master.

BRAH.
