Xordiah:Welcome to the StarCraft II Beta Forum!

This forum is for discussion based around the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty public beta test. Only participants in the beta test can post here, but the forum can be viewed by everyone. The primary objectives of the public beta are to test the stability of our Battle.net service and to dial in the game balance prior to launch. As a beta participant, you play a big part in ensuring we meet these goals. Please provide your feedback on balance, Battle.net, or any other beta-related topics in our feedback forum http://forums.battle.net/board.html?forumId=25352532&sid=5010.For answers to some common questions, be sure to check out the StarCraft II Beta FAQ http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23214531243&sid=5010.

Bashiok affirms players may play Starcraft II single player offline for as long as the game has been authenticated [once] via Battle.net upon installation. Thereafter, you may play offline any time you wish.

Bashiok: I suppose this applies here but remember that StarCraft II and Diablo III are different games, and while they will be using a unified Battle.net platform we don’t know what the requirements for Diablo III will be yet.

In regards to StarCraft II, yes you can play single player offline after authenticating the game.

As far as I’ve heard it for StarCraft II you authenticate and then can play single player without being connected. While you don’t have to authenticate every time I think there’s some situations where you may be asked to re-authenticate. Like after a hardware upgrade.

That’s really a better question for the StarCraft II forums though.

Battle.net is about to undergo the greatest update in its long and storied history as one of the world’s most successful online gaming services.

Fully integrated, user-friendly, and fast, the all-new Battle.net makes it easy to find and play games, opening the world of online gaming to generations of players. In the 14 years since the original Battle.net’s launch, the service has seen tremendous growth both in terms of features and active players. Currently, there are more than 12 million active accounts on Battle.net worldwide.

This raises an interesting question. If the original Battle.net was so successful, why change it? Updating a service like Battle.net is a hugely complex undertaking. Are there really that many new features that Blizzard Entertainment could offer that would deliver a world-class online gaming experience to its community?

In one word: Yes.

The list of past innovations integrated into the legacy Battle.net service is long and varied — the introduction of competitive ladders, server-hosted games, online-stored characters, automated matchmaking, and more. But with the release of StarCraft II, Battle.net will evolve into an even more powerful and advanced online game service that will power all Blizzard Entertainment titles moving forward.

The final metamorphosis has only just begun….
