So that means that August -> SC 1.19 (1.2?) -> free matchmaking?
|
This is disgusting. Why we are paying for ladder? What happened to the "Free can play everything as Remastered. They are the same game but with different graphics"
OK seriously what a joke is this?

"Play for free with improved matchmaking system. But you still have to pay for it".

its literally on the same page, come on

Wait, doesn't this contradict with the comparison list between free and remastered?

I assume it'll be 1.19 according to the arstechnica article. The article also officially confirmed the existence of 1.17, although they ultimately skipped that patch to partner with Fish so that the server could be worked into 1.18.

Yeah, it's a significant contradiction, and I hope Blizzard comes out with an explanation.

In case you were curious as I was:
Blizz confirms the Hatchery and Lair will have a skin akin to the Hive one they showed.
|
If the comparison list was made after the pre-purchase announced. Then it is the official one because that Dev comment was made on 28th March
|
I think that having to pay for matchmaking will help deter cheaters. And now they can also be banned, as before banning a free acount wasn't that effective.

And no matchmaking if you don't buy the remaster? Im sure that since around 2006, people already played on cracked version. I also believe that there are plenty of users who never bought sc and enjoyed the game. 15$ isnt too much to ask to be honest... Just change your mind like you treated a person a nice meal for dinner and made a strong bond. Blizzard did a lot of work to get this sc hyped again. Clap clap 
Well said!!

Playing Devil's Advocate here...
To be FAIR they DID improve the ability to HOST and JOIN games so in SENSE they DID improve the ability to MATCH with other people.
Yeah.... That is still a REALLY weak argument. But hey I'm still dropping my $15 on the game so...

No, initially it was supposed to be available for both versions of the game (remastered and non remastered) but they changed it. You now need to buy remastered in order to have access to the matchmaking and leaderboard.
That said, fish is gonna keep their manual matchmaking system, meaning if you really dont wanna buy the game you'll still be able to ladder on fish. Matchmaking will probably only be available on bnet, fish might have it too but im not sure it'll count towards ladder games (but thats just me speculating).

Blizzard likes to use the purchase box price as a deterrent to hackers. but if they promised free matchmaking and now they are changing that... that is bad. Yeah thinking about it a bit more, it's basically dividing the community as well. I hope this is an error in the checkbox and not actually true :/ Dividing the community into people who can afford $15 and people who can't? seeing that $15 is nothing to you, do you mind buying me a copy or two of SC:R?
I paid 22€ to watch batman vs superman and didnt finish it,i also did buy wol hots lotv for no reason i played like 4 days then stop.i think 15$ for remastered is'worth it.or just keep playing iccup.

Too bad, matchmaking for team games would have been cool  . I don't really mind not having matchmaking for 1v1 ladder games, woulda been nice to find team games quickly tho. Oh well there's still asia i guess.

I don't think $15 is too much to ask. Remember, the whole reason Blizzard tried to destroy competitive BW was because it wasn't making them any money. I think $15 is a pretty good compromise. Programmers and artists don't work for free.

Thank you!

lol yeah i actually think i overpaid a LOT for sc2, even though i mostly bought all 3 games on sale, but on the back of my mind i kept thinking that this is me paying blizzard for all years of bw. I think i still owe blizzard for bw. $15 is really nothing for this game.

I really hope they do something about the Protoss UI... doesn't look good at all.

I must be the only person who can't see a problem with it. Then again I don't play Toss.
