Battle.net Friends List Thread

[kent1146]

All-

Now that Battle.net 2.0 has launched, let's get a thread going with everyone's ID so we can create a Sharkys group.

My ID is EnderWiggin.

Slacks is the name but I think you need to add ppl with their email address. I will post mine as soon as I figure out how to spoiler tag my addy. Nevermind you need char name and code.

If you disable RealID then your friends with RealID enabled are removed from your friend's list. What are you guys doing? We need to either all go RealID or all go without.

I vote we go without realID to stick it to blizz

Wow...that sounds fairly stupid. Blizzard should allow a user to selectively choose who has access to their real id info and who doesn't.

This all or nothing crap looks like it was a last minute addition to turn off real id which was originally meant to be forced on. Maybe in a future patch they'll offer greater flexibility.

[Kamakazie]

Wait... I can't add non-realid friends to my list? That sounds like the opposite of what I read.

EDIT: Confirmed, you can keep Real ID enabled and add people based on character. When doing this, you only see their game name in your friends list, not their full name.

EDIT2: I am Kamakazie 595

The friend system is pretty whack so far. I have real id enabled. Click the friend icon, then add friend to see your char code on the right. You need char name and code to add peeps.

If you add by email you'll add them as a Real ID friend that spans multiple games. Downside? They'll know your real name.

I still don't the reason why a real name has to be used. Why not just have a master screen name that all others are tied too?

Dunno, but I don't have a problem with it, I'm not going to be giving that email out to random people anyway.

Meant to write I have real id disabled. Done with the placement matches. Only 1 zerg opponent the rest were Terran. It's like playing SF4, everyone online is Ken.

The beta matchups were pretty diverse when I played... I blame the campaign for the extreme amount of Terran.

This is where I read the thing about removing realID friends:

Enabling Real ID grants access to the advanced social features of Battle.net, including chat across different games. If Real ID is activated, the real first and last name associated with the account (your real name or your child’s) will be visible to others. Please note that deactivating Real ID will remove your Real ID friends from your in-game friends lists. For more info, visit our Real ID page.

What do you make of that?

You probably see only the sub accounts but not the master realID. So if I have x amount of SC2 accounts under my readID, but have realID disabled, you can still friend those sub accounts. However you probably have to friend them all individually. Thats my guess anyways.

Would be nice to hear how this works.

Near the end of beta lots of people were playing Terran. Mech is awesome against zerg, and bio w/ghosts is outstanding against Protoss. Some were complaining that Terran may be a bit over powered, but I don't know. In the King of the Beta tourney a Zerg player won.

Lost my last placement match against a zerg on metalopolis. I thought I had him finished but he managed to get Brood Lords to my base. I destroyed everything he had, but couldn't take his spine crawlers out. So he won the game with two brood lords. I had a pylon in his base, so that's what I get for cheesing. Went 2 - 3 and got placed in bronze where I belong.

[Snakespy]

Taggart man I love you man but please stop trolling and bashing the SC2 threads until you get it. Please.
