You say that because you play goddamn Terran.

You are enjoying the game with your reapers, marauders, blue flame hellions, invincible thors, unkillable planetary fortress. Lost half of your SCVs? No problem, you have the goddamn MULE to make it up.

You get the medivacs to heal your imba stimmed marine marauder. Oh, you can use them to drop in the main too!! Really fun to play with.

People are complaining because it is hurting to play as Zerg. Zerg has nothing, Terran has everything.

I suggest you to change races, play Zerg, then you will notice why people feel enraged with the state of the game. Have you read the Fruitseller posts?

My point is, you cannot blame people who are not having fun with the game for complaining it to Blizzard.

Way to miss the point of a thread and judging someone on the race he plays. e-Discrimination.

so, since when did the blog section become an outlet for shit thats not even suitable to the sc2 forums?

There is NOTHING new and insightful to this thread, and teamliquid does not need to hear you bitch.

I am very satisfied to read a blog entry which for once does not jump the 'bash-the-patch' train. 'bitch' and 'shit' is something i see connected to your post however, so good job...

Well, I think what most people don´t like about Blizzard is that they prioritize WoW against SC2 balance changes and D3 (this one gives me rage for not being released yet =x )
But then again D3 and SC2 is 1 time income, wow is monthly so I really really really can´t say I wouldn´t do the same in their place ....

People complain too much. Balancing takes time and people are not patient. If they could only see what monthly updates do to a game, they would be happy with what they have now.

The imbalances of the races are not severe. They do not make the game unplayable. Zerg is not unplayable, they are weak. Let's get that straight.

The game is technically 7 months if you count when they first released beta and second I think if they,are going to release a situation report,which is basically everything the patch was about why wait to release the patch.

Because issuing a patch isn't as simple as taking an idea and putting it down. There is a process of debugging?

When there are people trying to make a living off of playing this game it is absolutely not ridiculous to expect quicker balance patches and changes.

I am not sure if I agree with this sentiment. You have not justified the claim that blizzard can reasonably release them faster. The idea that there is money on the line has nothing to do with it.

Rushing the patches might hurt competition MORE than help.

As a former wc3 player who loved the customs/community feeling, my beef with their custom system/lack of channels/clans (until "soon" comes by, whatever that means") still makes me

You have to be kidding me. Every pro Zerg is threatening to switch or QQing, and demanding change now. How have you not noticed this?

And yet most will still agree that Blizzard needs to be concise with their patches and let the game play out first instead of releasing knee-jerk patch after knee-jerk patch. They demand change, yes, but its never really an issue of "why won't blizzard hurry up with this"

No need to be a snob. You can't tell me the fact that he plays a favored race doesn't slightly bias him towards less patching.

I appreciate the warning inControl :-P and you're right that wasn't very helpful at all, and Subtle my blog isn't about less patching at all it's about informing people how I feel patching should be done and how it doesn't happen in the blink of an eye. The fact that I play Terran does NOT sway my thought process of how patching works. I played WoW pvp for years but never thought differently of Blizzard's patching process even when I felt I was playing a weaker class, sure I wanted something to be done but I didn't want it right away because the longer game designers have to sit back and review information then they can make a better change to the game . I believe there is a difference in me saying "Patching takes time, be patient." rather than "I think the game is fine, don't patch for a while."

Also I agree Llama, Blizzard's "soon" word is rather annoying :-P but again goes to the point of unexpected time it takes to do certain things with games. That's why I never want to go to the forums whenever Blizzard announces there will be a patch in the future for a game because all people ask is when when when when and they have to do that "soon" thing because they honestly don't know what exact date there change will be ready to their satisfaction. Still annoying though I agree :-P.

Again, thanks to everyone who has read this blog ^.^
