If you've got Heroes of the Storm, just log in and see the chat there. It's literally identical. Even the welcome message is the same.
I like it. It makes sc2 feel a whole lot less isolated. Sometimes I think that no matter what Blizzard would do with sc2, a subset of people are going to raise hell. I'd just take it with a pinch of salt.
This new chat channel is simply terrible as I played heroes of the storm and it's rlly annoying to have to tab 10 times to talk with 10 people and then scrolling. At least they can leave this general chat stuff and allow other chat windows to be open.
And this will kill arcade games communities which rely staying on a chat channel to get high level games.
I use Skype to communicate while i play with my team. Chats windows is a thing of the past. Blizz has been testing this on Heroes. Just to discover that chats are really dying.
I actually really hate that chat update, i hated it in storm where i have no friends i chat to really, and i extremely hate that they're adding it to SC2 where i chat to people all the time..
Terrible change. Its harder to keep track of everything with this new system specially without time stamps. At least give us the option to open a separate window when we want one.
From what I've heard, seen and understood, the CURRENT one is meh at best. HOWEVER, its step one. My best guess? They are unifying the underlying code for all game chats and thus can upgrade them all at once. Instead of the current hodgepodge where every game chat is a little different then the next. From a coding point of view, makes a lot of sense. Do realize this is a beta that really is a beta, not just marketing. The liberator was added in as a new unit with no voice work, no portrait, just literally created to test the concept. The missile I think are just copied banshee ones, the ground attack missile is just MSCore attack.
Well in the game i'm working on, the community stays in the chat channel to organize games and keep the community alive. Using skype for 30 people or the new general chat is impossible especially that not everyone on the server is on the same general chat, tested on heroes chat.

Courtesy of TeamLiquid thread:
This new chat is bullshit, even here now i have to tab everytime to talk with someone, give us back the old windowed chat http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/17604462505
@TyaArcade: Go
i would but my download is very limited and it would take ages to update.
@DuckyTheDuck: Go
thx
well i wouldn't say this is a bad change of direction. blue post says there are coming more changes. so let's give them some time to polish it.
on a side note: do i see the number of HotStorm players in LotV-chat? that implies something BIG.
