I think you're an impostor! The real funky would have a list and not a single suggestion!
if you would have looked at the screenshot then you would know that it is a list. please discuss, good or bad? why is it bad/good. i would do it like this [Screen].
I actually like the all chat.
I agree that we need tabs other than join and browse under the arcade section.
Having a chat window in game would be nice.
I think having an option to have that side be reserved for chat, would be nice. I personally would prefer not to have a side of the screen for chat only.
Another one to add, is for the browse games area to be bigger than a 3x3 of games.
I like the list of open games with the most played badge.
Would be nice to have hotkeys for navigating back/forth sets of arcade games (b=back, n=next perhaps?).
I think the search box is too far away, considering it is a filtering tool, just like the dropdown.
Scrolling sound is nice, perhaps a little too "wet".
Scrolling sound is triggered even though I have reached the bottom.
Font size is very small and dependent on graphics card. An accessibility review would hardly consider it AAA. Off not possible to do something about it as engine is fixed.
The new chat is complete trash in usability by an arcade game community. Have a game chat channel filled with 20-30 people + talking with 2 more people is impossible. All text is pink, very annoying to read and u cant have private comversations with people. It just gets lost in the huge wall of pink text. Text from chat cant be copied and most annoying, it kicks u out of the chat when u enter a game and cant join back unless u finnished game, like wtf cant they even make an option?
However if u talk with 2 people max at the same time and not too many words its alright. So funny how blizz wants to make sc2 more social but makes it impossible to speak with more people. And so far 90% of the sc2 players ive had contact with said they hate the new chat alot.
Yeah I like the chat too. It makes the whole arcade feel a lot less lonely. Then again I don't use it for private conversations so I can see the problems that might arise there. The old chat's PM system was perfect.
Yh its nice if u dont have alot of friends on sc2 and not many people talking to. But for eg my game community is very affected by this change cause it has alot of dedicated players playing inhouse games for years which doesnt happen in 95% of the maps in sc2 and everything was organized in the chat channel so new chat system is worse for arcade communities then first wol beta. Atm its so bad that we said fk it, we started using skype chat channel.
i want to add something here, the new open games list is awesome, i can host my map and i get a full lobby of 12 ppl within reasonable time, it feels like warcraft3. this was impossible pre 3.0 patch.
we realy need an option to set the chat channel for our groups. i have a clan, group and the map chat but i need/want only one chat for the map. also having 1.the rising dead and 2. the rising dead where the 1 and the 2 is not always shown is lame.
now to the screenshot, open games list should show version number, last patched and a random review (maybe switch between good and bad, latest, best, w/e just not always the same) in the preview.
Is there a way to auto join a channel, and not auto join another? Every time I log in, I need to "/join Arcade" to get into the arcade chat, but i am in general chat automatically.
I disagree with the reviews suggestion; I think that the majority of reviews (top rated especially) are stupid or outdated. There is no need to clutter the screen that much more. If there were a way to show the actual "well written" reviews, that would be great. The problem is, that the most popular review across sc2 is "I eat poop".
I think having a chat for the game lobby, that isnt attached to the current chat would be a good idea though. Put the old chat box back in the lobby, and/or allow for chat-room tabs at the bottom, like there used to be. Have you ever tried to chat in 1 context while there are 4 different rooms open in 1 window? You have no idea who is part of your discussion. You also end up typing in the wrong chat for 20 minutes before you realize it. Cough, cough.

Have you tried Options->Social-> "Rejoin channels on Login" & "Auto-join Arcade Chat"
Did you guys notice that in open games list game icons now fade in instead of popping up abruptly when loaded? Bnet looks less and less hacky with each patch :D.
Funkys version idea is nice. Can already see people putting whacky dates and version numbers for funzies (permanent v 13.37)
As for reviews, that's the precious "return to lobby" button space, where would they put it if it was taken by random review? Besides, it wouldn't work, Goa's terminator review wouldn't fit in such confined space. But on the other hand the "fish whee fish >->>:>" would feel like at home. So I'm torn on this one ;_;.
But in all seriousness, b-net has enough of 5 word reviews out there that can make one question humanity, so not sure if involuntary exposure to that is a good idea. And that's coming from someone who always goes to reviews to get to know more about game before playing.
I did try the options for chat, but it dosent work all the time I get to read so much stupidity in general chat is incredible how much down hill starcraft has gone. The fact that you can see everybody's chat is a recipes for a new player to say he this game is not worth it. Open harassment for all that sounds week. I see it, you can see how others join in the harassment when somebody dosent agree with some stupid or sexual comment. The new chat, really who said it was a good idea?! Maybe for internal Blizzard employees but not for general population.

But .. but .. but this type of general chat is exactly what I wanted from the day one of WOL open beta ='( . And it's not just me, at all times people were complaining about "deserted wasteland" and how b-net felt isolating and depressive.
Now when I log in I'm always cheered up by a bunch of politically incorrect nonsese and all sorts of trivial and delusional issues that teenage boys are expected to have. It finally feels right.
Im just asking for the option to up out of the general chat to have the arcade chat. If you like to read about teenage wet dreams and all that let it be up to you but I want the choice to not see it.
