I love the new Battle.net layout.
No doubt that patch 13 had it's issues today. But what I don't understand are the people i hear complaining about the new layout and design.

Yeah, as for those issues, I lagged out in my first 2 placement matches and then won 5 straight...thusly missing Diamond League. But that's not the point. Look how beautiful the profile screen is. It's full of great information and it looks fantastic.

It just reeks of class. it's so sleek.
So, I guess i made this thread because I wanted to acknowledge something I thought was really well done. I just needed a break from the constant deluge of negativity we Blizzard fans tend towards. I love Bnet 2.0.

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Indeed. I'm lovin' it too.

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Yea, I love the new bnet as well, its a marked improvement over the old version. It was just a bit strange with the buttons on the top left moving around a bit, but I will get used to it. I am glad that they finally added a "back" feature, it annoyed me to no end that it wasnt in place before.

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Did anyone else notice that the achievement requirements changed. Playing as random both fills the wins for the Random requirements and whichever race you got in the game you won.
Another thing change with random I noticed was that during the "load" screen for the game you can see the mouse graphic now or atleast I was able to for some reason and it was the corresponding race you were going to spawn with.
Custom games seem pretty fun so far and for doing custom skirmishes it saved your choices from previous games so you load in with say random and orange color instead of always Terran.

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
I have yet to play a game on the new pacth- but I don't see what the problem is at all. :/ It's looking good.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
It's looking really nice indeed, but has anoyone else had the problem logging in to battle.net 2? I really want to play but cant connect :(
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Wow looks nice, I can't get in either limE :(
But did the NA people not have the same problem last night? and we are getting the patch later right? So I guess we will just have to learn to wait!

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Are you guys getting the authentication error?

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
I was getting problems wtih a connection error on the US servers. But my ISP is a POS in the first place and I always have to connect to things multiple times for it to work. So I just kept trying until it let me log in.
Take 10 minutes and just keep trying to connect and entering your password to see if you get in.

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Yay I got in, and the I got kicked...
Anyway got to look at the interface, and it sure do look nice
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Still unable to connect and it laggs like there is no tommorow even in the login menu, but from the screenshots I see- yep, thumbs up for the new interface = )
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
I cannot play any match without getting dropped at a random time in the game... But the interface has some pretty nice improvements yes!
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
UI is nice. A lot of UI features is not :D
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Finally got in. Played one game without any lag or drops. Have blizzard fixed the problem or how is lag for you?
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
meh i still dont see why they removed sound on the menu :[ there no countdown beeps anymore
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
I just wish they had at least 1v1 statistics for matchup win/losses.
tvp 3-1
tvt 2-2
tvz 4-0
is what i mean

Blizzard has confirmed that they have new sound resources coming in after the break. This is just in preparation. In other words: Temporary.

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
UI: Epic.
Friends System: Extreme Failure

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Damn, I never expected them to do this, but they made away with the orange, subdued the colours and toned down the neon glow. It actually fits the StarCraft art style now (and looks good to boot!). :cool:

Crazy! I thought blue just said they were tracked separately. I wonder if that's a bug.

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
That was how it was working before I went to work. I've been stuck here for the past 7 1/2 hours. ALMOST off! lol Regardless I'll test this theory of mine when I get home. Maybe I was just seeing things before going to work but I thought I saw it in the "Guide 001" thing I saw for the Solo Beta Crusher tutorial.
Edit: Made it home and with my single 1v1 game I've played random and won zerg I have 1 game towards random and 1 game towards zerg on the win lists. Must be a bug if they did not intend it this way.

Me too I also get the feeling this is getting better, yet everyone out there is still complaining about every single thing... I guess just leave it the way it is, I know there are some ugly issues like over-nerfing in the patches and carrier's model is still ugly but don't make a mountain out of a molehill scrap carrier? don't even think about it! the unit just needs a better model and something cool could be added but I think it's fine.
roaches's mineral cost should have been increased instead of the supply cost, ultralisks were over-nerfed etc. but besides of that I like the new mechanic to destroy those shields...

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Oh yeah, the Layouts fantastic.
chat channels plz kthx :(
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
The layout is slick. Looks really nice now.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Some of it's great, but I think it's a bit too over complicated :P
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
They also severely nerfed the beta crusher requirements :p. You only need 5 wins as all races in 1v1 or 2v2 :p.
But yes - the new interface is really slick, but I gotta say that I wish Blizzard had come up with an equally elegant way to add friends! :(
Also, I find it funny that the Platinum league logo is an eagle's head, and Diamond is just this big blue Diamond :p. They look out of place next to the icons for Gold and below.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Wait beta crusher is only 5 wins per now instead of 25 per? Also with playing random counting as both random and the race you randomized.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
hm. While it may be "pretty".. If it doesnt function right, then its garbage. Anyone can make something look good, but if it doesnt work then it doesnt matter. Thats how I feel.
I stayed positive thru Bnet 2.0s major shortcomings up until May.. but when they start totally messing up the balance of the game itself, thats when I draw the line of blinding supporting this company.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
What isn't working correct for you in the bnet 2.0 interface? Don't say sound they turned it off intentionally because the previous sound bytes were scrapped.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Battle.net 2 itself is crashing...
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
yep. I just logged on thinking "Oh maybe ill try it, see if all these discs are finally over".. and literally 2 minutes after I log in and check those lame facebook mass invites you get now.. it gave me a "Bnet is shutting down" and i couldnt exit/alt tab out without ending program..
So lovely.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Thats not the user interface though. But ya its pretty bad ingame. Took 20 games to get 5 placement matches done. 2 I got to play all the way through and won. The 3 others that counted were drops. =/ So now I'm in silver which I guess is the old bronze.
Gogo achievements I guess.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
lal. already nerfing achievements in the beta? welcome to the world of achievementcraft...
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
i think its more along the lines of there is a week of play left and you'd have to play 24/7 to rack up over 100 wins to get beta crusher. I think its logic more than a making it for casual people situation.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
It been nice watching the changes to bnet UI and presentation over the past few weeks. Visually, everything looks very polished and sleek.
Too bad everything else got so messed up after patch 13.
-
Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
Yeah, the new interface is much more functional than the previous one. Good work.

Re: I love the new Battle.net layout.
It is so pretty that it makes me want to create obscenely complex contractions in the English language.
I'd'ven't known 't'sn't what 't'd've been.
