Looks like the patch is coming on Thursday according to the OP, but I don't think it'll include matchmaking. I think matchmaking will be limited to the Remastered edition.


I don't think so. I think it will come with the patch. Look at the last item in the list (I think it was the last item, before the bugs).

If it doesn't come with the new patch then they will probably wait till SCRE comes out then patch BW with match making too. It will be on both games since someone who has BW can play against somebody who has SCRE in the same match.

It says "added support for Fish" which is the Korean third-party server with its own ladder, but it isn't matchmaking.

We'll see if they add it to BW in a future patch when SC:R comes out.

I suspect matchmaking will be limited to SCRE. Otherwise they lose a part of sales potential.
Many people would jump at trying BW if they knew a functional matchmaking exists.
nobody likes to look for games in channels, especially new kids I assume. It takes overcoming shyness.
Not only that, when you do find a partner, if you're a newbie, you'll get stomped the first 500 games. :p

It'll probably be built into the Fish server which will can be selected from the official list of regions/servers, but I wasn't aware that the ladder had automatic matchmaking like SC2. Having the ladder and ratings will still be useful.

Do you think that Matchmaking and ladder systems will be the same of SC2,with Leagues and MMR?
Honestly, I don't care that much about old graphics, I just want fair matches and a ladder to climb without having to install other programs .

Yeah I think you'll still have to find your own matches and most likely handle all the stuff like opening ports on your Router to host.

To play devil's advocate it'd mean valkyries are a suitable solution to mass air. Not that you go mass air against Terran often anyways...

The dragoon bug fix is fairly large. Sergei Ozhigin claims to have lost in the Sky 2001 OSL due to this. I do think this is for the better though.

All in all I think these are good changes, and would hardly affect the balance.

Valks already are a suitable solution to mass air. This might impact valkonic builds in tvz a bit, but its probably going to have the biggest impact in just strengthening the trend for air battles in TVT. It is a balance change. But fixing a legitimate glitch that did nothing but impede the game is totally fine lol.

Even if it didnt (I hope it does ofc) you wont have to install diff programs to get third party ladders.

StarCraft and BroodWar are now officially free? That's really exciting, especially for inviting new players.

Matchmaking is only for the remastered at the moment. The original is not getting matchmaking this week, and it's unknown if it will get matchmaking later.

I believe it refers to the glitch where all the colors get messed up after alt-tabing.

I think there s way too much hype around this; we have all seen what happens when blizzard gets involved in making something "new" .
People where getting excited for sc2, just like this now, and we all see where that went.
