You'll see how wrong you are. Dude, adding seven units is incomparibly small to changing the ENTIRE game. You are taking away the "boring" part, and giving everyone Oov macro. Tal doesn't play the game on a high enough level to understand the consequences of any of the changes he's talking about implementing. Good players like Twisted, Midian, Ret, who frequent this forum, haven't even bothered posting in this thread (I didn't see anyone, anyway) because they know even more than the rest of us how big a change what you're suggesting would be, and how bad a change it would be. This is illogical rubbish. For the first point, being good at games does not make you a competent game designer, just like how a good football player isn't generally going to be good at creating new sports or improving existing ones. The second point is a simple appeal to authority and not valid at all. Besides, if these players would be no better than newbies if the interface was improved, then they don't deserve to be considered good now. (I'm not saying this would happen, but you seem to imply it). | ||

Sigh. radial is telling me not to post replies :[ I'll address one thing then.

There's a reason why people are still playing it. S'cause people like Tal or gravity didn't design the game. Both of you remind me of OvazioFrio. [/QUOTE] People play BW because it's a great game, not because it has a bad interface. And OvazioFrio is a War3 fanboy who trolls the b.net Starcraft forums to get a rise out of people, I'm just a huge Starcraft fan who sincerely believes what I'm posting. | ||

Starcraft is a brilliant game, easily the best multiplayer RTS ever, but there is no reason it can't be improved even further. All the long-term great traditional games have undergone many changes; SC can do the same. | ||

Fuck no I wouldn't. To master something, first you have to state a definition, in my book: mastering a videogame is knowing what to do in the most common situations and being able to do it. The way you want to change the "interface", you would only need to counter the other guy's strategy and micro to win. I'd give myself 2 weeks to learn all the counters and viable strategies, and 3 months and 2 weeks perfecting micro. Of course i'd fucking master that game in 4 months. | ||

If you think that's all there is to it you're a fool and certainly don't live up to your namesake. Also I don't see how're you're going to "master micro" in 3 months if you haven't done it by now. | ||

Right now as it is, you have to prioritize either microing or macroing, and micro tricks are so fucking hard because you have to macro at the same time!!! In your perfect world of automatic economy and unit production, micro tricks will be relatively easy because you won't have to concentrate on anything else. Sheesh, get it into your fucking head, i can do boxer micro after 3 months of training, what i can't do is micro and macro at the same time like boxer does in 3 months. | ||

You could do Boxer micro after 3 months of training? I seriously doubt it. Besides, there is a lot more to SC than microing and macroing at the same time, which is what you seem to be missing. I can't believe how easy you think SC is, as if the interface is the only thing holding you back from being a progamer. That's pretty laughable. Besides, even if you were right, you'd still be wrong, since people will come along who couldn't play the game before due to not clicking fast enough, but who will be better at strategy/timing/intution than you ever will be, and hence will own you just as hard as Boxer would now. | ||

Sure it can be improved further, but not in the way you propose. Why don't we lower the basketball hoop? Make the football field smaller? Make the football larger and lighter? Make the basketball magnetically attracted to the hoop so that every shot goes in!???? | ||

Last I heard I was still posting coherently, not spamming in a retarded attempt to distract from the a lack of relevant arguments. Oh yeah, and cliches aren't arguments. | ||
