Je l'annonçais dans la dernière news, Chris Sigaty a répondu aux questions de Shacknews dans une interview récente. Dans cette interview deux éléments ont surement attiré l'attention des fans : les "groupes" et le patch "eSport/tournois". Concernant le patch "eSport/tournois" voici le passage qui en parle : "Our first major focus after we ship [the game] is going to be tournaments and eSports. We will have a big patch probably around four months after we launch the game that will add a lot of things like Pro and Semi-Pro leagues and allow people to see who really is the best of the best." Il explique qu'un grand patch sera appliqué pour améliorer bnet et le côté esport/tournois. Il indique qu'il y aura des ligues Pros et Semi-Pros par exemple. Il y aura surement aussi, même si Blizzard n'est pas encore prêt à en parler, des fonctionnalités pour créer des tournois comme ce fût évoqué dans le passé. La mauvaise nouvelle est que ce grand patch est prévu environ 4 mois après la sortie du jeu... Sigaty a aussi évoqué les groupes - la chose qui va remplacer les vrais canaux de discussions à l'ancienne - dans cette interview et Browder a fait de même dans une série de Q/R. Voici ce qu'ils disent : "Shack: A lot of players are upset by the lack of chat in Battle.net 2.0. Are there plans to include chat or something like it? Chris Sigaty: Ultimately, there is a system that will go into the game at some point that centers around groups. Everybody looks to chat in WarCraft 3 and StarCraft and to be honest, the chat there was not good chat. For me, I avoided it. Ultimately, what you really want is to get players together. We have a group system that is designed, but isn't going to make it for release. It's largely about putting people around topics that they want to gather around. Get them in to chat and talk about [those topics]. Shack: Will it allow hardcore players to talk to a pool of people that are also hardcore to find matches or practice partners? Chris Sigaty: Yes, for example, if there's a group of people doing [Galaxy] Editor development, there would be a group for that. Ultimately, the end user will be able to create groups and players could gather in those groups. There's definitely a lot more work to do on groups before they are ready, but it's something we will see in the lifetime of this game. It'll be sooner rather than later." Et l'autre passage Sigaty et Browder : "Chris Sigaty: So there's a couple of things. One of the biggest features that I'd like to see get in as soon as possible that won't be in there for launch is Groups. Groups is a concept of creating an entity like a map-making community so they can chat with each other and hang out. I don't have a date on that yet. It's past the tournament patch but its definitely one of the earlier features we'd like to see. Whether it happens in the patch or it happens in Expansion One, I don't know yet. There's a huge list of stuff on the Battle.net side that we really want to have happen but we don't have dates on it. Beyond that you're talking about actual constructions different than a group-like clan, I don't even have dates on that stuff, for now. I don't think that's in right now for the tournament patch. Dustin Browder: So Groups we're viewing sort of as a social experience like if you want to get together with your friends or if you want to talk about anything. It's just sort of a group of friends or a casual group, just like Chris said. If its a mod-making group wanting to get together and discuss these things. It could be a hardcore Zerg strategy group. Whatever kind of groups you want to create. For clans, we're thinking more of a competitive construct. Something you would get together and compete with people in other clans. You would probably not have all of your friends, especially if they sucked, in your clan, but you could have anybody in your group and that would be fine. But those are all down the road." Pour résumer, Blizzard prévoit un système de groupes qui sera en quelque sorte un canal de discussion version réseau social. Les gens pourront créer des groupes et donenr des accès spéciaux pour réunir des joueurs ou des amis. Seulement là aussi, ça ne sera pas du tout disponible lors de la sortie du jeu... Malgré l'excellent travail réalisé sur Bnet ils ont visiblement encore de nombreuses choses à ajouter plus tard, surement à cause d'un énorme retard pris durant le développement de Bnet en 2009/2010. On ne peut être que déçu de ne pas avoir un tel système sur Bnet... Mais au moins on sait que le plateforme évoluera constamment au fil des mois pour surement devenir LA référence incontestable du genre.
