Blizzard:"No plans for "specific" chatrooms, crossrealm play"

We should be worried for allot of reasons.

Allot of reasons

With the ability to now add players you just played with after a match by simply right clicking their names, why exactly would we ever need chat rooms? I'm not crazy am I?

I don't know about you, but I'm usually a little too preoccupied with not losing in my ladder games to get to know the guy and figure out whether I want to be best pals forever with him or not.

Region lock is the worst thing to ever happen to gaming.

I can't believe they seriously intend to make people buy additional clients at full price to play in other regions. Greedy greed!

You can just type in your cd-key on the BNET website when registering the game and select the US English version of the game and download that and install it, instead of the UK version you have.

I did this with a SC Anthology copy I bought in France.

While I don't care much for chat rooms, I'm disappointed that fans have been so vocal about Blizzard implementing them and they've just been outright ignored.

I know it's Blizzard's game and they can do what they want with it, however they normally listen closely to fans but this time we've been shut out.

Bummer

Well, if group chat ends up working like me and Gifted have speculated, then the old public chat might not be needed at all. Of course, that is only if it works in a form similar to what we speculate. If it doesn't, then I just . . . don't . . . . . . know.

I am just guessing and I doubt it was added in one day

Trust me. I make apps like this all the time. It's only a few dozen lines of code to actually work with the facebook api. In fact you could probably find some code that already works within 5 minutes. All Blizzard had to do was find a way to stick it into their game.

I bet they spent more time waiting for a graphics artist to become available than they did actually coding it.

Yah but we are talking about blizzard here.

Stop attacking Blizzard just for the sake of attacking them. They've done some great things with SC2 and they're doing some terrible things with Battle.net 2.0, so if you want to whine and complain about what they're doing wrong that's fine by me, just stop bashing them for EVERYTHING.

Ive praised Blizzard on multiple occasions for what theve done right. Just earlier today I was appluading two of the macro mechanics. So stop telling me im just attacking them for the sake of attacking them. Theyve done an incredible amount of things amazingly in this game. BNET is not one of them.

And thats my point. TWD says that he could do it in a day. I believe him. But in 7 years Blizzard couldnt find the time to put something as foundational as clan support or chat in. Wonder how long that took for WC3...
