    Yeah, the new friend system appears broken though. You can add a real life friend if you have their email address, but you have to be in a lobby or game with someone to add them as a character friend. Not sure how we are going to friend each other.

    I'm willing to be the go between for friends. I can give people my bnet account email so they can friend me and then I can get everyone in a game/lobby so they can friend everyone

    Are we going to have to add an e-mail field to the friend spreadsheet?

    So how does this map publishing stuff work anyway? I don't see any option to browse published maps or anything.

    Wait, we should be able to create custom games with specific names and join each other's games, no?

    So no more name identifiers, no more adding friends to list without knowing their e-mail address.

    And the game takes up 100% CPU while idling in the main interface.

    What have you done, Blizzard?

    My CPU usage for SC2 while sitting at the main interface doesn't go above 15% while navigating it.

    Aaaaand custom games don't have names and you can't kick someone from a custom game because it doesn't seem to recognize you as the lobby host.

    I was prepared for a reset but not for a revamp of the whole friend list system. This is terribad.

    EDIT: Can't even join a game. Oh well, off to play something that isn't busted.

    So.... they don't ask for a nickname identifier anymore?

    P.S. This is making me REALLY nervous : "playtime expires xxxxx"

    So how well would this run on a laptop with a crappy video card? I have a GeForce Go 7300. All the rest of the laptop specs seem to meet or exceed the minimum requirements.

    Hey guys do you wanna play together!??! Guess what the only way you can add friends is to either have already been in a game with somebody or add them via their email address

    So unless everyone wants to put their email addresses here you can't play together

    you may well get some spam if you leave your email set up that way. Might be best to replace the at sign with the word at.

    thats pretty much all that gets sent to it anyway. It's pretty much a dummy account for things like starcraft beta's and such.


    edit: just created a custom game 2v2 with all A.I's. They seem to be stuck on the very easy difficulty though.

    This is terrible advice, FYI. Bots looking for email addresses are pretty wise to that (it's not hard, just more stuff in the regexp pattern!)

    OK THIS IS HOW IT'S WORKING.

    I'm hosting a game on Extinction (8 player) on SLOWER, FFA. Refine your search. When you join the game say "PA" and I will add you and move you to a spectator spot, if you don't say anything i remove you.

    Everyone in the spectator spot will be PA, so feel free to add them.
