EPT1) auto matchmaking where you just pick your race and that's it
2) manual matchmaking - the way it works in BW, where you host the game and someone can join your lobby ?

I reckon it will be far better to have a really great automatching system which everybody is happy to use, rather than to fragment the players between one and the other, and risk losing the important numbers which the automatching requires to be effective. There will, I'm sure, be a melee mode too with manual matchmaking. There is at the moment. | ||

I think the thorough discussion and design followed by a willingness to iterate and accept feedback will lead to a very well made system. | ||

I think its better to start this discussion after the auto matchmaking feature has been released and people have had a go at it for a while. | ||

Either way, I don't really see how one has to cancel out the other. I think making it only auto-matchmaking is a mistake. Making only-lobby system is also a mistake, though a smaller one. Making both is the best way to go. Doing both also does not mean that the auto matchmaking system shouldn't be discussed and worked on until it's actually good. | ||

We need to actually have a WORKING SHIELD BATTERY out and THEN let's work on fine tuning it. People keep putting the cart in front of the horse here. Let's get a working shield battery and THEN let's worry about polling the active community about random/race picking. | ||

I don't know if a new member's opinion has any weight, but please consider carefully if opensource is really a good idea. I fear that competing servers might re-use the code looking for a profit. I know at least one other game that is plagued by this issue: released 14 years ago, declining playerbase, still loved by many. But there are so many private servers for the game that the already small community is completely spread out, and alot of players are lost because of failed servers and corrupt admins. It would be a nightmare if this happened to Starcraft as well.. | ||

Well, I want to just sign up, I'm a little wary about giving my information and I have nothing to look at. I'm 99% sure this is legit, It would just help if I knew liquipedia was endorsing this or something. Unless that or people start having access to the beta, I'm not sure Ill sign up just yet. | ||

It would be a nightmare if this happened to Starcraft as well.. Someone earlier in the thread implied the people who run the Korean servers are real snakes, so I've been wondering about this. But if the goal is to consolidate the foreign scene only, I don't think any other server will have a chance of competing with TL for that audience. TL can clear up any attempts at subversion, and no other group is going to have the dedication to run a better server outside of China and Korea. And China and Korea have shown that they don't care to play with foreigners. So I can't see harm in having it open source. | ||
