I jsut wish Blizzard 2.0 wasn't a bucket full of steaming shit.


Can someone explain to me why it's supposed to be so bad? I wasn't in the Beta so I wouldn't know :-/

Also, can't wait to pawn you all with my High Templars.


A lot actually. As it was on the last day of beta, the old Battle.net had more functionality than Battle.net 2.0.

-No LAN

-No cross-region play

-No chat rooms

-No unified ladder. Even people in the same ladder type were seperated by divisions, of which there were hundreds of even in beta in some ranks of the ladder.

-Extremely restricting custom game rules. I don't know if they fixed it in the last month but a few weeks ago a single account could only have a small number of megabytes uploaded at one time and had a limit on how many times you could upload, period.

To their credit they did add facebook integration and achievements, so hooray?

Just about anyone who has been playing Blizzard games since WC2 Bnet Edition hates this and thinks this iteration of Bnet blows chunks. Everyone else is either brand new to gaming and doesn't know any better, or is manipulated into thinking that what is missing is not important, which it is. Because I mean really, they have added almost no benefits for Bnet2 yet removed so much, only one of those two types of people could actually like Bnet2.

P.S. Contrary to what Blizzard would like you to believe, Bnet does indeed have lag, and sometimes it definitely hits hard, so LAN is not obsolete by a long shot.

I hope they have a lot of that stuff fixed for launch, the stuff like lack of chat-rooms and upload limits seem like beta stuff TBH. Battlenet 2.0 was new at the time and they have had a few extra weeks and a lot of feedback to work on it.


The only thing they said they MAY fix by launch is some form of chatrooms, limited at best though. Everythign else is a "wait and see."
