Blizzard Classic Team is killing brood war. They are so incompetent that's unreal to me. in 3 months they didn't fixed anything or improved a single thing.
1.16+mcalauncher/wlauncher were 100000 times better.

FUCK this, now you're forced to play remastered if you want games... what a joke... fish was the best server ever...

wait im confused, are they just closing the RM server???? or both RM and 1.16.1?
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Sad to hear though they've done some shitty stuff in the past from what I hear. I'm not a big fan of Blizzard having mostly complete control in Korea when it comes to servers so :/

I guess "we will officially support Fish Server" went the same way "we really talk and listen to the community" did then?

Anyway, to this day v1.16.1 is still the best version for playing the game on melee, and for anything else anyway, for so many reasons...

Now could someone tell me how i can get to Brain?

Thanks!

Inactive right now.

I think you are overreacting..


He may be overreacting but it's not uncommon for developers who have complete control to screw up the game experience over the years.

A prime example is TF2, where valve killed the independant community servers by introducing a matchmaking button, then proceeded to change the modalities of access to their servers. So bad stuff could happen.

I think it's really important tha blizzard releases a stable version, I feel like it's really bad for the scene to be dispersed to a bunch of different servers.

umm.. the issue is advertising
fish revenue was from advertisements in-game and wLauncher. blizzard promised to assist fish server. they did not. blizzard lied. fish die from lack of fundings.

brain server and iccup server will be 1.16.1 now. brain clan system is functioning. i do not know iccup.
i will help administer brain server. operator selection will be transparent.

please understand blizzard did not help us. 1.16.1 is reenacting.

I've had the exact same fears as you since the release of SC:R. Still hoping we are wrong...

Remastered is perfectly playable, so there is no need for a third party server

I don't really see the need for 1.16. Only serves to split people.

You can still make custom games with anyone you want to play with on RM, and thus are never in danger of not being able to find quality games. I think the ladder might still be buggy on RM (haven't been following that closely), but that isn't that big of a deal; at the end of the day ladder ranking doesn't really matter, and the matchmaker still gets you way faster, better quality games than you ever could have just hosting 1:1 on ICCup.

Why anyone would play SB instead of remaster I especially don't know. SB has no ladder, it's just making games with friends and playing. You can do the exact same thing on remaster, just as you could on ICCup or Fish or any other server.

Maybe there are still a few unfortunate souls who have problems running RM, but I haven't seen much in the way of complaints about that recently, so I'm assuming it's resolved for 99%+ of people presently. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

RM has a lot of issues. SD looks really shitty in RM and the game heats my laptop badly after 10-15 minutes of playing, even if SD graphics are being used. For me, 1.16.1 will always be the best BW was and I'm glad that ICCup and SB are not going anywhere anytime soon.

remastered runs badly for me and i still don't think it's better than 1.16.1 given the hotkey issues and the higher aspect ratio resulting in a different game. furthermore, bnet .20 is worse than the old bnet (in that it's slower and clunkier, while also lacking basic functionality. when i was on remastered you couldn't even whisper people lol). there are quite a few koreans that agree, given that when i was on fish yesterday there were like 25 1v1 games up on korean off hours..

there's also the concern of giving blizzard control of something when they have continuously squandered their extensive goodwill since the merge with activision. i have much more faith in mca64 and the people behind wlauncher than i do in blizzard (likewise with the server admins on fish) to produce a competitive environment to play broodwar

Too bad everyone moved, so the rest had to to stay relevant.
I didn`t found the specific thread for RM to ask about stuff, but after seeing what`s pouring now, I realized there isn`t one(?).
The chat system still doesn`t work. If you`d wish to play on clear display with the old graphics, you can`t do so, because the widescreen gives a clear edge for the opponent, hence all players are forced to play with it, despite it`s inferior in many aspects, at least in my eyes.
I can bring up only one aspect in which RM improves upon BW: the fast matchmaking ladder (which has it`s various issues as well...), but that`s it.

I don't really care much about the hotkeys or the aspect ratio tbh but SD graphics on RM being so jagged and bad is concerning to me. That and my laptop heating up so badly after barely any time has passed is another concern. If ICCup and SB went away, I would probably come quite close to quitting BW I'm hoping that Blizzard actually works on these issues...

My only problem with RM is just the lag in 1v1s. When it lags in 3v3s that doesnt bother me too much because whatever its a 3v3 i'll find another one. but holy shit the lag in 1v1 MM is unreal sometimes.
