Artosis tried to help LS quite a bit throughout WoL, especially trying help him compete in Korea. It never worked out though, but for some reason Artosis just really likes the guy.

LS was very underage at the time of the bw maphacking/map editor tomfoolery. I wouldn't count on that to speak for his character now.

Update on 1.18: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20753886409

Show nested quote +

En Taro Adun Commanders,

A big thank you to everyone helping with 1.18 on the test realm. We appreciate your candor.

As promised, this effort should not be disruptive to how you're already playing StarCraft. We want to ensure updates will either maintain or improve this gaming experience that you love. Playing and feedback on the test realm has been invaluable to that end.

We hope to have a new iteration out soon. Thank you for taking this first big step with us, and we look forward to continuing the journey with you by our side.

Specific topics we’re evaluating and working on:

Chat Channels
Timeouts
Missing social functions and unexpected behavior (Friend commands, ignore, etc)
Updated chat channel aesthetic (Background, chat colors, etc)

Create Game
Updating latency controls to improve game responsiveness (was defaulted to L2)

Find Game
Filtering by game type

Lobby
Moving player position
Locking Observer by default

System
Reported input sluggishness
Crash reports from 64-bit OS configurations
Reported latency issues
Maps not downloading to completion
Setting FPS to 200


More to come, and we look forward to the next round of feedback with you.

Cheers,
Pete


i think this should be included into OP

I honestly don't understand the whole "cold and isolated UI" stuff people keep repeating. It seems like code for "it's different and I hate change". I mean, hanging out in a near-empty ICCup channel with some peruvian spamming "1v1 go" is the real thing that makes me feel like a depressed person lost in empty space...

I like the original interface more, too. But to be fair, the current one looks more StarCraft'ish and fits more the entire layout.

I personally don't mind the UI being changed, all I care for is the gameplay and I'm still laddering on ICCup until all the bugs in the 1.18 patch get resolved :C

If the new chat gets some of the /commands and features back, and a(n) (optional?) colour scheme to mimic the old one, then I'm sure everyone would be happy. Noone would truly miss the ad banner etc would they?

I've noticed difference in muta micro as well i.e when i was using patrol micro my mutas would attack multiple targets like in hold p. micro... It happens sometimes but i felt like it happened way to many times in 1 game.

Also my game still looks like a fucking pixel war...I can deal with that mannualy but than text looks like crap...

Youngjiddle,

It's just that the broodwar battle.net chat experience was an experience in itself. It was something sorely missing from sc2. People would login just to talk trash, just to hang out. I would play broodwar every day after school but I wasn't gaming for the majority of that, I was hanging out in chat channels with my clan and watching 1v1s. It was a very social thing given that we were all sitting behind computer screens. Most modern games have really went away from this but it's genuinely the best part I can remember from playing broodwar.

edit - I will add in, this is something that is probably only important to those of us that are 25+ years old. You young folk didn't grow up in the era of the chat room so it probably makes little to no sense that so many people are upset about the UI being changed. Without /f m and hangout channels broodwar would feel very lonely.


so like I said, maybe you should drop some of your nostalgic feelings and realize everyone these days uses discords or whatever to communicate, not an in game chatroom or irc chat clients. And yes I remember people complaining about sc2 having no chatrooms, we have them now in sc2 no? but they are dead as fuck because who cares.


maybe because the game itself is dead.
i'm glad bw has chatrooms again and i hope they will improve on them in the future. like being able to see how many people are in a chatroom and that stuff.


no actually its because everyone uses discord. Online is pretty solid and you can find game on ladder for less then 0.5-1 min anyday of the week anytime of the day. At this point if you compare bw to sc2, bw has turned into fossil fuels already.

I agree, ls' stream is one of the best for BW right now and anybody still giving him shit for something he did 9 years ago or something as a 15 year old, has to rethink their priorities.

If Artosis, Ret, Day9 and tons of other BW pros/ex-pros are cool with him, it's just pathetic if TL still holds a grudge.

nobody is hating on tt1 or haypro anymore... just get over it :/
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

That's the point: there are better ways to socialise nowadays. Yes, Starcraft was released before MSN messenger, but now we have all kinds of voice chat and social media for those who only want to chat, leaving game lobby channels empty except for (surprise!) those looking for a game.

While I agree there are certainly "better" ways to socialize nowadays, is it really more convenient having to rely on an external site/service to do that when you have a simpler method of achieving what you seek (talking about the game, strategies etc.) already implemented in the game?

It's a lot to do with the colour palette. The bnet 1.0 ones are much warmer.

Changing the font colour of ids and their text would help a lot I think. And the background image maybe.

For the record I didnt love the wc2 bnet for similar reasons (well tft anyway), but it had some more different colours to break things up.
