this negativity and rage by hard core game video game players is nothing new. as a group they spend too much time indoors smashing away at their keyboards and are chronically depressed. Also, this whirlwind of positive and negative commentary about an evolving game ( WoL evolving into HotS ) is all part of the "Chaos" or "Blizzard" software development cycle. Hence, the name of the company. Let the angry, depressed ragers ... "ramble on" ... they are irrelevant and powerless. | ||

We tried being nice and Blizz has not done anything to help fix obvious issues with their game. This! We are all nice and polite and tell Blizzard what we want, while Blizzards takes our money and gives a fuck. Well Blizzard died for me with release of D3. I mean Jay Wilson is in position to tell me (Who bought their Game) whats fun and what isn´t. So in my oppinion SC2 is a step back compared to BW and I just can´t understand why ( Except the money for sure, which is quite a good reason don´t you think?) | ||

Maybe I think SC2 is a boring game because... it's boring to me? I'm a "hard core" gamer, but I don't have a negative attitude towards all games. Only games I don't like, such as SC2. One thing that is silly, however, is people who play SC2 and still whine about how bad it is (which it is). If you chose to be a professional SC2 player, deal with it bro. That is the job you chose. If you don't like it, go to school and then get another job. The same thing goes for the players. If you think SC2 is a shitty ass game (like I do) just quit and play another RTS. | ||

I'll ignore his input!". Even if Blizzard is having an employee searching through forums and gathering feedback for a higher up designer, do you really believe on the designer's desk there will be document saying: "You should do X, or I will not buy your game." "You should do X, I really love the game!" and not just a document saying: "X - how often was it mentioned: a lot" And then they'll add in more rocks anyways hahaha Seriously, I was about to write something like this. In the end it'll all just end up as "data" from the community that's collected in bullet points. And nice guy would more probably buy their game even if it sucks just to "support esports" | ||

Edit: look how Valve treats the DOTA community... that's a company that cares about it's customers and the quality of their product... I say this not because I think DOTA is a great game but because Valve is a great company, think if they owned SC2? | ||

It would be nice if blizzard hired a couple new PR/Game Developers to basically be a bridge between the community and blizzard dev's and be overall more transparent about game changes. They could easily see what topics are trending in terms of wanting/needing fixes and it could be an outlet to give people answers, because at the end of the day if they can talk about the ideas behind the decision making then it gives everyone an opportunity for more constructive criticism. But when you're confronted with a closed door you can only peacefully ask the person on the other side to open it before you start screaming and becoming negative. | ||

I think Blizzard is in a situation where they've gotten a lot of feedbacks from the community, but don't really know which one is the best to follow w.r.t. making the game entertaining and fun to play for a long time. I'm sure they are also aware of LoL's growing popularity but don't really know how to respond to this. One nice think about LoL is that you can easily jump into other people's matches and follow the games. That might be something Blizzard should look into. Whoever wrote Blizzard has bad programmers above should document his/hers statement. :-P | ||

Au contraire, I think them taking out warhounds was a panic reaction to the overzealous mob screaming "IMBA!!!!!". Blizzard should just let the game balance itself. It worked for broodwar. The warhound was a terrible terrible unit. How does something that mobile make for interesting game play? Just the very idea around it was insane. It seems like the recent defense of it is more of an instinctual response to defend SCII than a thoughout response. WoL is a mediocre successor with serious problems. Everyone has bleated on and on about how the expansions were going to fix xyz and that hasn't happened. Now every one of these threads defending bliz sound like a kid yelling SHHH to hide a secret from the teacher. | ||
