They killed the proscene once for sc2, now dividing the remnants of the player base untill there is nothing left they can suck out from this game, the fun years are gone its all business now. Tank unit portrait looking like fat mexican The reason many of todays games suck is because people does not put their heart into it, like it was in the 90s. Its all about business, sales and standarts. Game companies make noise for some release then we see that its empty and shallow. Much like movies and music nowdays, most of them are effects showtime. Its hard to put soul to business corporate stuff, but hey thats the capitalism for u, growth wealth and more money, its all thats important right? There's all kinds of wrong with this. | ||

Something has changed and Matchmaking/Ladder is now exclusive to Remastered. https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20757485677 | ||

And people are meant to swallow this. Kk 1. No? 2. I think locking matchmaking behind a paywall was the only way it was ever going to go. The ladder would just be filled with hackers otherwise and even if they got banned they could make 100 other accounts for free. | ||

Correction, their lack of response to Afreeca Team Battle is eloquently not a measure against, just a measure not for. 2. As stated on the B.Net post, initially it was promised as nothing but a graphical incentive + perhaps some ease of access* but then they recanted it to remove ladder matchmaking. | ||

For me original feels alive and have life to it, remastered is cartoon and plastic. 15 dollars isnt that much i would buy remastered if they make some sort of unlock feature for original sc ladder. They are lazy and dont want to work on original anymore after 1.18 i guess. | ||

When they provide the services they broke for free and stop expecting people who kept playing and contributing to the fledgling foreign scene to pay money for what they already have and already would have gotten for free through other services like Shield Battery (assuming they are even allowed to run a competing ladder at this point). | ||

With that being said, i still would say that the features should be in the game, if you wanna use it or not that's another question. Well now it's possible to play broodwar on modern technology and it looks decent. That's the purpose i guess, also new features like matchmaking and profiles, etc. I am happy with it  I guess what often happens is that they show the zerg player producing something and you want to know what it is, so you are in suspense. So the camera has to sort of wait around and check back to discover, meaning you are part of some process of discovery. If on the other hand you can just look at the production tab and immediately see the answer it is more boring. When I watch BW I rarely miss observer tools, only if I've become accustomed to them from watching only SC2 for a while. I think this is the problem with the idea of more choices = more chance to find the sweet spot. Because once the viewer is used to something they can no longer cope with it being gone and they have to go through a painful learning process. Casters also don't have enough discipline to avoid overutilization of new tools. It's the same when I play BW: fine in itself, but once you're used to interface control options from SC2 it's hard to go back. | ||

It was literally D3 dungeons with reskinned monsters with a pixelated shader and 8-direction movement. WC3 is a good possibility since background images were datamined from the Blizzard app years ago. Since classic BW is going up on the Blizzard app when SC:R releases, WC3 could see a similar treatment, though it doesn't need a remaster as much. I think WC3 could benefit from a remake where they change some of the mechanics and spells and such, which I would never find acceptable for BW. WC3 combat is predicated not on unit movement and finicky pathfinding mechanics, but on spells and abilities that can easily be tweaked used by a stable of heroes which can be easily expanded. I think DotA proves that such games benefit from constant mothering, because they operate on the principle of more = better, as opposed to BW which is more chess-like in having the minimum set of units to create compelling dynamics. | ||

I like the argument in the interview: They’re now doing too much analysis, too much forethought and too much ‘Oh the game is probably over now because according to this statistic, he now loses 97% of the time if this happens’. That’s terrible. That's exactly the problem imo. WHen talking about observer mode before i oftentimes used a similar concept. Would anybody really want to see win% in different scenarious all the time? That would be even more information, but why then even watch the game? Watching the game should be entertainment, it gets less and less entertaining though the more information you have. Just like you don't wanna know immediately who the murderer is in the mystery novel, same concept. But as i said before, having all these tools for analysis would be great. Players who watch the game also want to learn how to play the game. At that point a lack of features is a negative. | ||
