Yeah I think the identifiers are such a bad idea. Its funny cause a couple hours ago I was playing SC2 just fine and now I get this stupid error when I try to play via Match Maker - "S2MASTER_SERVER_ERROR_INVALID_DATA". And It won't let me join games the old fashion way says something about server not up or some crap.
And I also can't reply or post comments on the battle.net forums I get that error everyone is getting at the top right.
"An error occurred while retrieving this character. Please try again in a few minutes."
Damn Blizzard.
Wow. Pardon the language but blizzard REALLY fucked this one up. I'm seriously considering not even buying SC2 just because of this junk.
This is the Beta. That's why it's called the beta. For bugs and shit. Not that this doesn't suck, cause it does, but not considering buying it? I'm sure they'll fix it before it's released.

Forums are down right now because the servers are down, which is why you're getting that error.
Yeah, all of battlenet servers are down.. I was just playing a 1v1 melee when they went down it was interesting, the whole game just stopped working, i could still click units and crap but nothing worked. I couldnt even hit F10 and then surrender, it just stayed open..
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.
Wait... I need to be shot over an opinion of a game mechanic?
Why were they the worst idea ever? Why do you believe that?
I don't believe identifiers were bad because they just seemed to be part of the game and how the online play worked. I think it's worse off without identifiers because you can have the same name as I can, and when we post on the forums, we can pose as each other. Trolling, flaming, and making a mess of things. Identifiers would tell us apart. Also, there is no WAY to add friends anymore unless you fight them or know their email. For example, I can't add Sixen to my list of friends as I did before because we don't have identifiers.
Give me your reasons why identifiers were so terrible. I gave you mine as to why they were just fine.
You missed the part where he said make it like every other game where you CANT have duplicate names. Maybe you should read a little more closely before flipping out.

I didn't flip out, I asked him why didn't like it. However, now that you've pointed that out to me, I'm satisfied. :)
Its better than not being able to add anyone as a friend

ModeratorsAgreed. We should've kept the unique identifiers and dropped the common names.

I recorded what was happening..
Oh, so that's what happened. My friend thought his internet went down.
