Actually I would have been happy with the old profile and additionally statistics like: - played race - played map - average apm - average gametime Well at the end of the day i wont bother much with this but it could be nice for some old players and some new players expect such minigames (unlock avaters etc) like drug addicts nowadays | ||

That's some god aweful development. Like how do you screw something up people got right in the 90's when the internet was actually new? No LAN-play? This fucked up a bunch of tournament matches due to latency or drop problems. Took them FOREVER to implement the replay feature, where the game could start from a replay. This solved the drop-problems for tournaments. But it's still a fuckin band-aid solution. The hype is lost when a match is paused and reloaded. Also why didn't they actually implemented this replay feature in the beginning, and why did it take SO LONG to implement? "too hard to implement"? What a joke. Some random college student hacked together an example and posted here on teamliquid. Without the fucking source code of sc2. A college student. Then Blizzard finally took their fingers out their ass and got in the replay thing. But don't forget, this was all a problem because no LAN play, which is a retarded and greedy decision to begin with. So now here we are, and the same kind of dev-process and disrespect of brood war can be seen in some of the SC:R development. It's natural to get pissy considering the longer history. It's a valid opinion to be annoyed at Blizzard touching Brood War. Tibbers. If you had come out and said THAT instead of your dumb pseudo mystery inch/mile crap you would not be making such a fool of yourself. You called TT1 a lazy player and continued to insult one of the oldest and in some people's opinions one of the best foreign Protoss players in history with your disrespect. Your whole posting in JUST this thread makes you look extremely foolish. Just come out and say what you want to say up front and quit being a jerk. THAT BEING SAID. The whole gold/silver/bronze rankings falls in line with ALL their other games in terms of rankings. This is NOT new. Ranks E - S was devised by Koreans/Fish/Abyss and while it's what most of us BW players grew up with, we need to acknowledge that with the face lift to the game, B.Net is getting it as well. This is not a change that will break the game and I feel it is amazingly cool to see all the different stats. I would LOVE to get to know my gaming history better. New profiles are cool. The improvements to this game are good although it's been abit rocky, they keep going in a good direction as opposed to what happened with Diablo/HOTS/SC2 and currently OverWatch (As in, they are fucking ruining those games for no god damn reason other than they have idiots running those games). I'd say, they finally have ONE department doing something RIGHT for once. I wish they had gone with ShieldBattery as the platform but I can respect them wanting to use their own thing. | ||

It's a valid opinion to be annoyed at Blizzard touching Brood War. I can respect that point of view even tho it's an elitist view, i don't have anything against loyalist BW supporters who've invested a lot of time into the game and love it. Personally i'm not worried about them "fucking up the game" because they have to answer to Korea. They won't let them mess up the project, Blizzard has nothing to gain by doing so (they'd just destroy their reputation in Korea and lose a ton of supporters, it would just be a terrible business move). Everything that the dev team has done and said so far leads me to think that SC:R is heading in the right path.. and like i said Korea isn't gonna let them mess this up. If they're not happy with the final product they'll just stick to 1.16 until Blizzard gets it right, it's as simple as that. 1.16 isn't going anywhere and Blizzard has too much invested into the project to have it fail. That said, we're in a thread talking about the new profiles.. and well they look sweet  . If you'd like them to implement F - S ranks thats fine too, i have no issue with that. I just wanted to understand your thought process because "ladder groupings" mean very little in reality. Imo the only thing that really matters is your rank and rating, everything else is just useless fluff. Fish has ladder ranks to make it easier for people to ladder and rank up (they don't have a matchmaking system, it's manual ladder). Blizzard's ladder (matchmaking) is a completely different system and F - S ranks (even Bronze to GM) aren't really relevant/needed, like i said it's just fluff. Anywho, glad we could clarify all that shiet ^_^ | ||

I know who he is, and I know he thinks he's lazy too. He told me himself the other day in Scan's twitch chat. Also yeah he's a totally good Protoss, but he also called my opinion dumb and illogical. The way you and him engage with me makes us all look foolish. I just wanted to chime in about the A-F rank thing, and now look where we are. | ||

I just wanted to chime in about the A-F rank thing, and now look where we are. to be fair i didnt know what your opinion was, you were being vague (give an inch, take a mile!.. in regards to what?!) and i just assumed you were talking about gameplay related stuff. all i wanted to know was why you want them to implement F to S ranks as opposed to Bronze to GM because that's honestly not a very big deal (i explained why in previous posts). and most of the things i say on ppl's stream is me trying to avoid giving a direct answer, i dont really like answering questions when im on other ppl's stream. i dont really remember our conversation but if i said i was "lazy" it probably has to do with me streaming, which is true only 3 more hours to kill before Shine vs Bisu starts.. :D | ||

It's making implications like what I'm saying is dumb, outlandish. @TT1 All good, to be honest I was teasing you about lazy because I like your play and want to see more. Edit: Oh and about relaxing, eeeehhhh. I was pretty relaxed at original SC2 release, and wasted way too much time trying to play it like a real Brood War successor. Sometimes being skeptical is a good thing. | ||

As long as they give your exact rating and server rank i dont really care if the "ladder groupings" are F to S or Bronze to GM. All i care about is my rating and server rank. I actually disagree that "points = ladder rating". Internally, Blizzard has always used "rating" to refer to a skill rating. "Points" are reserved for a parallel, player-facing ranking system. They've also shown an affinity toward separate "internal" and "external" ratings and I don't think this will be any different. Points will probably be partially driven by activity like always (this doesn't mean the return of the bonus pool, but perhaps some decay for higher-level players, as in Overwatch/WoW/HotS?). | ||
