Well, ummm... you know how identifiers are gone, now?
Well, I have two beta accounts (and sorry, I can't give them away, they are linked to their keys), and I named my character for both accounts: "Kulthran," and guess what, it works. I didn't have any errors. So, um... how are we supposed to add someone via b.net name if multiple people have the same name?
It seems that you CANNOT TYPE IN CHARACTER NAMES anymore... you must right click to add friends. This is as far as I can tell... its starting to unnerve me
Also, I can't seem to login to the B.net Beta forums. Is this because I made both accounts with the same character name? XD Can someone report this in the bug report area for me?
Its not just you, I get the same error when I try to get on. I cant post either :(. Will post this bug error:
Title: Repeat names and character retrieval
Post:
With identifiers being removed, multiple names with the same spelling are now able to be created. I am guessing that the Blizzard fix for this is no more typing in names, only clicking. I am now unable to find old friends. One of my friends also knows of two characters of the same name and is confused as how to distinguish them.
On another note, my character (and others) are also unable to be retrieved on Battle.net for the time being. If this is stemmed from the patch update than disregard this.

It's not a bug, this is intended, unfortunately. I think it's ridiculous.
I guess the latter part of the bug is the one I WOULD post, because it is preventing character retrieval, therefore making me unable to post anything on the b.net forums
I know, I posted my first feedback complaint, EVER. X_X; This is not good. I swore never to do it, and to stay out of it, but... ugh... I don't like duplicate names.

Wow. It's hard for you to be angry at Blizzard, if I'm not mistaken by my interpretation of you in the past. ;) That SAYS something about what Blizzard is doing.

"An error occurred while retrieving this character. Please try again in a few minutes. "
Looks like the forums are bugged.

Wow. Pardon the language but blizzard REALLY fucked this one up. I'm seriously considering not even buying SC2 just because of this junk.
Can you change the name of this topic to "Bring Back Identifiers!!!" please? I just want the old system back.
So, it's intended that I can't post on the Beta forums?
I'll have a merge.
I guess the latter part of the bug is the one I WOULD post, because it is preventing character retrieval, therefore making me unable to post anything on the b.net forums
Edit: and nice change

ModeratorsI was quoting bradleo.
The forums are messed up right now, nobody can post.
Yeah i guess only the part about not being able to post in the bug forums is the only real bug... the rest of that should go somewhere else.
Oh. I see.

ModeratorsKinda angers me.

Those of you that want identifiers needs to be shot O.o
Just make it so no one can make a duplicate name, like every other game in the world.
Identifiers was the worst idea ever.
@Bifuu:
Yeah dude it's a Blizzard plot to make us ask for identifiers.
