But I think it will be an enjoyable game, but not as competetive. But seriously, they have to release the goddamn game soon. This is soon becoming a farse | ||

I know that the delay is officially due to battle.net problems...but it's unlikely that they won't work on the game until 2010. It gives them another full year to realize that MBS and Co's are nothing but quality-reducing-elements-needing-to-be-eradicated-from-any-blizzard-RTS-game. You're suffering from delusions if you think Blizz is getting rid of MBS and auto-mine. Those functions are here to stay, they practically built the game around it. | ||

You mean like marines are killing zerglings while always having a back thought that goes a little something like "dude, im doing this for the automining feature". Fights are happening because of MBS, building trees and strategical units are there to make sure automining goes on properly? Automatisms are just obnoxious little fucking things that can be removed within the first 5 seconds of a strike of genius. Many of the other features in the game such as Warp-In is built around MBS. Do you know how frustrating it would be for protoss to use that without MBS? You would have to click on a -Gate hit the hotkey for the unit and then place the unit at the pylon power, then head back to base and repeat times however many -gates. Not feasible. Face it, many of the features of the game are built around having MBS and auto-mine, it ain't going nowhere. | ||

SC2 will be a different game, if only for the fact that Blizzard is placing so much emphasis on mobility. Anything else is impossible to say at this point. | ||

Blizzard will not remove MBS, or Automation. It's just not going to happen... Its a blog =/ Isn't this the place for such thoughts? | ||

Automine is a pretty small thing, i mean most people who can't remember to send their peons to mine also can't remember to go back to their Nexus/CC/Hatchery to build more, so it seems like at the lowest levels it wouldn't change THAT much. (Although i would still prefer it to be gone because it makes the skill ceiling of the game that much higher). While MBS reduces the amount of skill required to macro dramatically, it doesn't remove it. Honestly i'm just interested to see how the game comes out. If it sucks balls, thats fine i'll stick with ICCUP. Actually I have a friend who plays casually, and seriously he watches the game more than he actually plays it, you're right he doesn't remember to go back to his command center to build more scvs in a timely fashion, and when he does remember, it is then that he sends them to mine. He normally queues up 2-3 in a row because his money piles up. With auto mining he'll reap the benefits of those scvs as soon as they pop (unlike SC1). That's a huge benefit in my eyes. I thought I'd just point that out. But I guess at his level his macro skills aren't so great either, so that extra mining time he's getting from AM won't help him much as his money will just pile up. Ok I seem to have lost the point of what my post was about...LOL fail | ||

After a few months of popularity, SC2 will probably fail as a spectator sport as well. | ||
