Glada nyheter! Chat channels, spela cross region!
Råkade snubbla över lite glada nyheter angående battle.net 2.0 som jag tänkte jag skulle dela med mig av
Först har vi Chat channels:
Battle.net - English Forums -> Core issues
There will definitely be "chat channels" coming in one of the patches after the release. The system will be based around groups, where you will be able to join public channels that are based around your interests, which can be virtually anything. Also the system will include private chat channels (in plans for release in the first few months after the release), where you will be able to meet with your friends.
Identifiers kommer tillbaka:
Battle.net - English Forums -> Core issues
As for identifiers they are returning for the second phase of the beta.
Cross region play:
Battle.net - English Forums -> Need answer from Blues - region locking
Getting people online, playing and interacting is obviously the overall goal for the Battle.net platform, and that includes allowing people to play across regional boundaries as they have in the past.
Unfortunately, there are a multitude of challenges we have to overcome due to the unique regional account and billing options that didn't exist in the past. But those hurdles aren't insurmountable, and we are looking into solutions that will allow interested players to obtain access to other regional versions without having to buy another full copy of the game. Those solutions are something we're currently planning to have available through Battle.net Account Management within the first few months of StarCraft II's release.
Before that solution is implemented though, you're correct in that you'd need to purchase a US copy of the game on launch day to play in the US region.
Kan dock ta tid....
Well let's not get crazy before there's actual information. Right now we're focusing on the game, the Battle.net infrastructure, etc. and making sure the launch goes smoothly. There's been no decisions or even design work done on how the cross-region licenses will work. We know that we're going to do them, but aside from that there aren't any details available. When we have some we'll definitely let you know.
Så det verkar som om Blizzard lyssnar lite på oss iaf, Själv börjar jag iaf få tillbaka hoppet och kommer nog snart att göra en förhandsbokning
