That's a ship-blocker for them. If matchmaking isn't in the game, Remastered isn't launching. Leaderboards are just presentation. Think of it this way. Internally, they have this giant database of 100,000 players and it stores who's online and searching for games, what their skill level is, etc., and when it finds two players that are similar, it automatically starts a game for them. That's the matchmaker. The leaderboard is how that information is presented to players through a UI like this. If the leaderboard initially only shows friends, that doesn't mean that the matchmaker only searches for friends. They're two independent features. | ||

I... understand what a leaderboard and matchmaking are.. thanks. Do you have inside information that they guaranteed matchmaking on Remastered launch? | ||

It's just common sense. They will delay the remastered launch date if for some reason matchmaking isn't ready. Blizzard isn't stupid they will take all the chances they can have for a proper initial launch. | ||

I hope they don't launch w/o ranked. It was pathetic there were 2 AAA RTS released in the last that shipped without ranked matchmaking for their games. I can't imagine Blizzard making the same mistake here since they're freaking advertising it right now. Worst possible scenario I can feasibly imagine a scenario where they'd want to patch free Starcraft w/ ladder along with the remaster and maybe something goes terribly wrong and they have to delay it., but knock on wood, I hope that doesn't happen. | ||

And by very surprised, I mean like drop the glass of water staring mouth agape at the screen surprised. I'm fully expecting to hone their matchmaking either with in house tests, in the 1.18 patches/PTR, or a combination of both. A BW:R release without matchmaking would be a huge mistake. Haha! yeah I mean it would be a huge mistake to release without it, it's really not likely at all. | ||

Also while I prefer the classic ladder system, I hope the matchmaking actually does kind of categorizes skill levels. I would love a ladder that matches me with people being kind of the same skill level - no matter if you call it "X Divison" or Rank ABCDE or whatever... Actually I picture it genius having total newcomers getting a fighting chance on ladder with matchmaking, while people who knew BW back in the day end up inbetween newcomers and "still pro" ^_^ | ||
