Do you trust Blizzard?

[spychi]

Do you ? do you guys have hope that they will change their direction and listen to the community?

the poll about bn2.0 shows clearly that we don't like what BLizz is doing, but do we have any hope it will get better? and do we trust them?

Blizzard products always improve over time as history shows

[Noctis]

Blizzard products are constantly being improved, I believed 'perfect' is relative considering it's impossible for anything to be perfect due to everyone having unique perceptions. It will live up to expectations, grow and eventually go beyond them. In my humble opinion, i think most SC fan-sites seems to be way to full of themselves (TL) and their self-importance. Just because they feel like they know a game well they know how to make a new game. Blizzard is also a company, there's a profession called Business and they must adhere to those principles while making a game. Do i agree with all the decisions? No, namely the whole chat and friend situation, however when it comes to the game i have no complaints.

The thread at BN2.0, if you'd read it, demonstrates that we don't KNOW what Blizzard is doing, because they're keeping us in the dark. Therefore we can't possibly know if their directions need changing.

I read it, but we all assumed that we don't like it from what we've seen and from what we know
I didn't vote, yet as I want to wait

We've seen and know nothing. We have absolutely no idea how Clans, Groups, and Group-chat will operate. As Gifted and n00b pointed out, it could be exactly what we're looking for. A LAN-like system is in the works according to an earlier interview, though how quickly it'll get here and how it works is still beyond us.

Practically the only thing they've been truly firm on is region lock. Which, tragic as it is, I really could live without -- they're harming themselves, not me.

BNet 2 could still be (mostly) everything we want it to be. Until they start telling us, or start showing us, what's in it... we have absolutely no idea.

Do you trust they will make StarCraft 2 perfect

I don't trust anyone to do that, so I answered No. However, I do trust Blizzard to make a top-quality sequel with excellent story and gameplay, and to release Patches to rebalance gameplay as is needed. Anyone who expected SC2 to be perfectly balanced out of the box is going to be very disappointed.

Maybe BNet wont be perfect, but SC2 will.

what if they won't show us the final version before 27 of july?
would you risk a pre-order

It's SC2. Of course I'll risk a pre-order (of the CE, no less).

Hell, I'd buy it if it had absolutely nothing in it but the single-player.

edit: but you're asking about the multiplayer... yeah, I'd still buy this game. Screwy Battle.net or no, it's STILL better than pretty much anything else on the market (for my dollar, anyway).
