The new improved Sc2 Bnet

[Dayoh]

Now the SC Bnet was good did its job but lacked any "features", the WC3 one was a major improvement.

What do u think the new one will be like with SC2's release?
I think we will find
-Guilds (Clans)
-A ladder system
-Friends list/ignore list
-Chat (lol)
-Automated tournaments
-Random Match Making games
-Arranged team games
-Custom games

Well thats mainly a list off the WC3 Bnet that will be the staple for the SC2 one, what do yous think?

[Faiien]

-Guilds (Clans)
had it in the first one
-A ladder system
had it in the first one
-Friends list/ignore list
had it in the first one
-Custom games
had it in the first one
-Chat (lol)
are you just naming random stuff?
had it in the first one




of course there will be minor improvements to all the items you listed. I think we will actually see a friends/guild list and the ladder system will be more organized and more popular. I also expect text boxes for pmed message ig. here are the list of bnet features i think that we'll be seeing

better ranking system
Enhanced random match making games as listed above
a 1v1,2v2,3v3,4v4 record chart and an overall games record
voice chat

[DarkMirror]

Link or its fake.

[3Vee]

Actually, I think he was listing things he wants to see.

[DarkMirror]

Then why was Ranking "Classified"? Its another thing that hes trying to pass as real.

[ChimTheGrim21]

The new battle.net is going to be similar to Warcraft III except with voice chat enabled. The design features and icons will all be different, but the basic functions will pretty much be the exact same. Again, voice chat will be the only new addition that Warcraft III didn't support.

[Dayoh]

Sushi wat was the point of ur post, i already know SC has some of those features i listed and no Chat wasnt a random thing.


-Custom games

had it in the first one

Oh FYI, the only form for SC games to be played was in hosting ur own games, i was meaning custom games like for WC3, where the button says "Custom Game" whereas in SC its labaled "Join"

[AJ]

(classified)

*yawn*
enough already.

[ChimTheGrim21]

there is on thing other than voice chat that will be added. I think league support will be added, as well as video broadcasts online. I think C&C 3 has something like video broadcasting (although I never played it).

Just recalled.

[SlickR]

I was listing things i'd like to see, muhaahahahaha.
(classified) is just as (bnet). By classified i mean like classified ranks, not as i'm listing real thing that will be on bnet that can't be shown, LOL.
You guys are soo funny with your interpretations!

[DarkMirror]

Your so funny covering your ass. Stop pertending to know stuff, and go leave us alone so we can actually have meaningful conversations.

[Dusty]

SlickR do not argue when the great AJ has spoken....

As for improved B.net hmm..... DEATH TO FASTEST MAPS! (Seriously I got called a noob for playing like it was a melee map.... Maybe becuase I was new the fastest but from the looks of it I could have dominated pwner_noob(GHT) in a melee. I killed his 200 marines with 5 well placed lurkers.)

[TitanWing]

I'd like to have an onboard video recorder...VODs galore!

[Sento]

maybe if they have a system for clan wars, i think the name speaks for itself.. but just in case

Two different clans having like a tourny among themselves, that is listed on the b.net listings thingys, several matches with different clan members from both clans facing off in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5 etc, the winner being the one who won the most of these matches or somethin like that.. i would love to see that

I like this idea as well. It sounds awesome.

LOL another one. Argue:o:shiftyl:? When, why, who:confused:? You guys are sooo funny interpreting stuff. :)

[DarkMirror]

And you are SOOOOOOOOOOOO funny trying to cover your ass. Now gtfo.

[SgtHK]

I'd wish they'd have an option or a check box to filter out money maps, fastest maps, etc...

There is no way to get rid of them. However, those who make them are looked down upon in the mapping community. Also those who play them are looked down upon.
What would really kill them though would be disabling the ability to stack, which would limit a lot of what I would want to do, so that is not happening.

[3Vee]

Still, money maps can be kind of fun. Just don't try to take them seriously.

[Protogod]

Lets get back on topic, which is Bnet, not fastest maps.

Do you think the new Voice Chat system will be done in a similar fashion to ventrilo, or will it be done in an entirely new fashion?

Similar to Ventrilo and the latest WoW patch that has enabled Voice Chat.

So it will be similar to those. :)

[Mjolniir]

3 things

MUSIC, sitting waiting for players for 15 mins with NOTHING to listen to sucks.

Voice chat, duh, but in game i'd like racial distortions for a more immersive feel, possibly with an avatar that pops up.

imagine, the mutterings of a noob broadcast to all with a high and mighty executor voice...build probe...gateway...@$#% that's at lot of zerglings...w-what's he waiting for...OMFG...<player> has left the game

blizzard should place an ai that keeps track of what you maps you like to play and place a category(money, non-money, UMS, etc) with your ratings. public shunning for FMP players, yay

[Thedutchjelle]

I hope the players will use the Voice chat properly - As in not yelling 'LALALALALALAL AHAHAHAHAH NOOB!' the whole time and pissing people off.
And it has to have a Rick roll filter >_>'

But it can be a great thing ofcourse, no more need to have Ventrilo running, everybody can use it, no need to type, etc etc. Though it might be hard for non-native English speakers.

Music in the chatrooms is also needed.

[TitanWing]

Make a block feature to get rid of that problem via the "players" menu ingame.

[deadkat]

A search feature...I would love a search feature...

For when you have a few thousand maps and you REALLY don't feel like scrolling on...and on...and on.

I know they're alphabetized, but still.

For the music, can't you just have WMP (or whatever you use) running along with Starcraft?

Voice chat would be nice, but I wouldn't cry if they decided not to put it in.

[Aqo]

:O

I wouldn't want voice. I prefer people to type. When I'm playing, I listen to music. Music + Talking = I didn't hear a fucking word you said and you ruined my song :(

[IrishDutchman]

It's not strictly Bnet, but I want a rewind function for replays. I was rather surprised that they didn't have it in SCI.

[Aqo]

Replays are not a video file, if they were, they'd be huge. To keep replays only as big as a few kilobytes, the files are actually a list of orders that were given through the game. When you watch a replay, the game literally re - plays itself; a rewind function for this system makes no sense and it's impossible to create without affecting the game engine all around.

[IrishDutchman]

Too bad. It's kind of annoying if you miss something really important, and have to restart and fast forward to the point you were at.

[SilverCrusader]

I concur.

[Mjolniir]

hmmm, how about a real-time voice to text conversion going on, and a separate toggle for it and voice chat mute. (in addition to the music/sfx toggles) The best of both worlds: you can type messages and/or recieve text instead of voice.

[TitanWing]

:O

Then turn off voice chat.

[gamer102]

lol voice chat + mute button = nice

anyway

id like to have like a list of your 25 most recent games and thier scores, stored and updated on a file on your computer after each game.

a level system maybe?

single player cheats that are really wierd.

to keep the t0o-many-creep-clicks-kaboom thing

able to send/recieve replays to your friends

[TitanWing]

We can already send/recieve replays. It's called hosting a replay on Bnet.
