Anybody know why they removed so much dialog in Heroes 2.0?

HoTS matches used to start with a lot of dialog; banter between the different characters, the announcer welcoming you to the map, a countdown, and then the announcer telling you the match had started. For some reason, almost all of this was removed from Heroes 2.0?

I've included a video so you can hear what I mean. Anybody else notice this? Any idea why it was changed? I really enjoyed the banter between characters, and the announcers added a lot of flavor to the game. Is Blizzard phasing them out intentionally or is this just a glitch?

    That happened to me in the 2.0 beta amd I just chalked it up to a bug.

    That's a pretty glaring issue if you can't complete a specific quest, especially because I've never seen or heard of this happening prior to now.

    It isn't that you can't complete any quests, it is just that one quest you cannot complete. There is a secondary bug that can prevent new quests from showing up for newer players, which we're addressing in the hotfix I referenced. We're continuing to investigate the issue not being able to complete the play 3 games vs. AI quest.

    What about the broken quests for new players?? My wife and brother can't complete their "Play 3 against AI" quests! They need gold!

    We're really sorry about that one and are sorry it is impacting so many people. :( You should be getting other quests but there is a bug with that too, we should be hotfixing that soon so at least you get other quests also. I believe we're still investigating the cause of not being able to complete the 3 games vs. AI quest though, hopefully we can fix it soon.

    Hey All! This was not an intentional removal by any means. We investigated it and found a bug for the initial VO at the beginning of games that you've referenced here, and will have a fix deployed in an upcoming patch.

    In regards to other bugs/oddities, rest assured now that 2.0 is live we've aware of a lot of them and are working on fixes. Thanks for your patience!
