    Blizzard Isn't Ruling Out StarCraft II Feature Requests

    There's little use in arguing against the idea that Blizzard wants to put out the best possible game it can. The dozen years between StarCraft II and its predecessor is proof enough. But as most of the SC2 flock are aware, what little was left out might be added in at some point in the future. Blizzard staffers on the game's official message board aren't ruling out much (via Big Download) when it comes to requests and fixing stuff based on concerns.

    Take, for example, this post by social man "Zaryhm" in response to a user asking for more challenge missions. "New challenge missions are certainly a good possibility for future content updates or expansions," Zarhym wrote.

    Or this post, a response to a user who wants shared replays. "This is a functionality we're interested in providing our players at some point in the future," other social media person "Lylirra" wrote.        


     Glad my mother finally found work. It's hard to when, you know, you don't have legs.
     Glad my mother finally found work. It's hard to when, you know, you don't have legs.

     == TEASER ==Or this post that expresses that Blizzard plans to allow Oceanic users to pick which region they want to compete within. Two licenses, one person, but no cross-chat. 

    "We have plans to allow for Oceanic players to choose which region they want to play in. This is something coming in the future," Zarhym wrote. "You'll have two separate licenses and can choose between North America and Southeast Asia."  
          
    Or, lastly, this post, written in response to a user's question about the map creation's limit shackles. "No current plans, but we're aware that there are concerns regarding the current limits for publishing and sharing player-made maps. The feedback we've received so far is good, and we're keeping a very close eye on how the system is being used. This in turn will help us determine how best to accommodate our players and the mapmaking community-at-large." 

    Decent requests are met with an open-mind, and as you'll notice in some cases, boilerplate maybes. Blizzard might be the type of studio that might take a billion years to push out a game, but it's a studio that listens to its fans and tends to do them right by adding what they want, though, I'm not so sure its keen on this feature request. Regardless, if you want a glimpse into what may be added into future updates or patches, these are it.

    How is this news. A lot of devs just put out "mabye's" on message boards to requests that have a lot of people behind it. It does't mean they'll do it.

    I'd say it's more like they're doing the thing they've done with WoW for years.

    Did anyone post about LAN?  I'm of the old school of thought that I enjoy being in the same room with the person I'm gaming with, instead of some random person over the internet I'll never see again, or my good buddy that lives 10 minutes away but we have to play online to get some multiplayer functions.

    This post is probably one of the best I've read on the SCII forum so far. This person have a lot of good ideas and a really good way to present them for a much greater custom games system.

    Give us cross-realm play! I understand that you don't allow it for league matches, but there's hardly an excuse to not allow custom games or limit cross-realm games to just friends.

    Custom games is a big one.
     
    Also, ladders should be pyramid shaped.
     
    Half (or more) the people should be in copper, and each league should have progressively less and less people. The way it stands now, bottom diamond is probably closer to bronze than top diamond.

    How about an announcer mode where there are extra camera features and some stats or something that an announcer could use. That would be cool. Think I'm gonna reccomend that.

    I should also ask them if they will add achievement support for their older titles. It should be easy enough. I would love to see it for Diablo II.

    It's not directly SCII-related, but weirdly enough, I'd be into a standalone battle.net chat client. Seems like a good way to keep in touch with my WOW junkie friends who are too busy fullscreening to see IMs.

    They already plan on Chat rooms, custom tournaments and a premium map marketplace so Them adding some of the simpler things doesn't sound too unrealistic.

    Would they be specific to each release in the trilogy or span across all three? I'm betting the latter but you never know...

    I guess it's a good thing for Blizzard that I am not surprised in the slightest when they support the community. I looking forward to the next couple decades of Starcraft updates.
