big update from blizzard Korea, trans needed

Mentors, Commanders, Executives Hello.

I sincerely thank all those who gave feedback during the talk with the development team last March. Community Your feedback is very helpful to us. Since StarCraft is a very special game for a lot of people, the classic game team will do their best to get feedback from the community and to continuously improve the StarCraft play experience. Below you will find answers from the development team on the key feedback you've received from your previous development team.

Reported issue:

Lek (delayed phenomenon)
First, I apologize for those who have recently experienced the Rake phenomenon. We have recently identified bottlenecks in proxy servers, which have caused problems with in-game leaks, and we were able to significantly reduce the burden on proxy servers through server-wide patches over the weekend. We have been able to confirm that the number of reports on game in-rack phenomenon has greatly decreased since the patch, but we will continue to look at this issue and improve it. In addition, in January, support for STUN decreased the incidence of waiting room and game in-rack phenomenon (aka "overlapping") due to network conflicts between players.
We will continue to improve our network experience, and we strive to quickly identify and correct the cause of network related issues. If you are experiencing network problems with StarCraft, please feel free to leave a comment on the current status of your environment by visiting the information request post posted on the latest tech support bulletin. Your feedback is a great help in identifying the root cause of network-related problems and finding specific solutions.


User Interface Performance The performance of the user interface
over the last few months has been greatly improved, especially after the game is over, the profile screen, the leaderboard screen, and the account panel. Most recently, Battle.net player profile performance optimization was done through patch 1.21.5. I've put a lot of effort into improving user interface performance for quite some time, and I hope that your experience has improved significantly over the last year.


Game Latency (Latency)
StarCraft: Since the release of Remaster, we are working to improve the network code. This improvement is part of the optimization work to support STUN no longer requiring 6112 port opening (port forwarding), and to support turnaround 20 and 24. Turn-around 24 is the same turn-around rate as the LAN play environment, and we are pleased to be able to experience the same experience with LAN on Battle.net.


Finding opponents Latency in games (latency) In
Korea, 75% of the opponent match games are played with a turnaround of 24, and 97% are played with a turnaround of 16 or more. One of the difficulties in finding a global battlefield is the fact that the majority of Starcraft: Remaster's playable population is in Korea, and there are occasions when players in Korea play against players other than Korea occasionally. In this case, This can be increased. In recent months, the algorithm for finding opponents has been able to reduce latency by changing to favor opponents between geographically close players, but balancing is still ongoing. We strive to find the right balance, and constant feedback from our community is very helpful to achieve this.


Custom game latency (latency)
Proxy servers and STUN servers have been added to make Starcraft more playable than ever before, without worrying about 6112 ports. StarCraft: Because Remaster's network system uses P2P (personal-to-personal), there will be more latency if there are more players in the game. We recommend that you use the Dynamic Reaction Rate Support setting when creating a custom game to get the best latency in your game.


Custom game "network conflict" (aka "overlapping")
Within a customized game, network conflicts, or "overlaps," are understood to mean that players in the game are either not connected well or not connected at all. The current version of the delay bar shows the connection status between the local player and another player, but it does not show the connection status between all players. Therefore, we are looking at a user interface that allows you to see all player-to-player connections via the delay bar. In addition, STUN support has been added and the frequency of this "overlapping" phenomenon has dropped significantly.


After clicking on the Join Game button, the game waiting list will be displayed late
. We will investigate this issue further.


The delay of whispering (Iamarag)
Let me investigate this issue in more detail.


SD graphics after remaster are not as bad as before
StarCraft: At the time of Brood War, the game ran at 640x480 resolution. When you were playing a game with a CRT monitor (or a memorable time!) Or LCD monitor, the way to display this small image on the monitor screen was determined by the monitor. Most of the time, I used the way the images were enlarged to fill the screen. There are a number of algorithms that hardware uses to enlarge images, and at the time of Brood War, the algorithm used depends on the monitor brand and model. In addition, the algorithms differ depending on the type of launcher or launcher you use. In other words, this means that players may have different experiences and that not everyone will remember the same old SD graphics. To alleviate this, we've applied some of the most popular algorithms to let you choose from the options menu in the form of filters, and most players seem to be satisfied with this. However, there are still other possibilities open and you can consider adding more algorithms to the options menu if you tell us in the form of a screenshot that compares the previous and current views.


Bug where workers can pick minerals faster at a specific starting location
During the remake of StarCraft, we decided not to change the gameplay aspect of StarCraft. This is evident in the fact that StarCraft: Remaster can still run the 1.16.1 version of the replay and that the gameplay remains exactly the same as before. We think it is very necessary to approach the StarCraft: Remaster's game play in any form of change very carefully. However, if you think that the majority of players should make a difference in gameplay, they will listen. We have recently created a public test server (PTR) environment and will begin the process of applying experimental builds to this environment so that players can connect and play and then provide feedback. I think the gameplay changes you have asked are things you can test through this open test server environment.


Valkyrie sometimes stops attacking
Historically, StarCraft has always had certain limits on sprites, units, and bullets. Valkyrie (and Photon Cannon) will stop the attack if the bullet limit is exceeded. We have increased the bullet limit from 2500 to 5000 with StarCraft: Remaster. We believe that the current figures are sufficient because we are unlikely to reach these limit values ​​in one-on-one matches (though, of course, this may still occur in 4-to-4 customized games with many units) . However, if our judgment differs from the actual result of your game, please ask us to let us know with a replay so we can investigate.


Profile statistics are incorrectly displayed
There have been some statistics issues since launch, but we've recently fixed various statistics issues. If you are still experiencing statistics issues, please let us know about the BattleTag and its symptoms so that we can verify it.


Mouse sensitivity is inconsistent in windowed mode
We will investigate this issue further. Please let me know a little bit more information about your operating system and so on.


Replay is not running The
EUD and Super Speed ​​(2x, 3x etc) replay will not work properly. If you are having trouble with an EUD or non-EU environment, please send us a replay.


Random disconnects
Please let us know BattleTag and we will investigate further.


Feature Requests:

Formal ladder (league level)
One of the top goals of the development team is to end the system frontier league and start an official new season with the league tier system. We are working on this in full swing and we expect to be able to apply it soon.


New ladder system placement game The
new ladder system will have to be added to the system to complete the placement game.


New Ladder System Statistics / Statistics Initialization In the
new season, statistics / statistics initialization will be done, and the records of the previous season (Frontier League) will be kept.


Please add rewards such as portraits to the ladder.
A compensation system will be added as part of the new ladder.


Add a Map of the Week system to the ladder.
It's a good idea, and I think it's a feature you can consider adding in the future. Prior to this, it would seem that changing the map to a very short cycle would have an impact on the overall performance of each ladder season. I think this is


a feature
that we can look at as a feature that allows a random player to only play against a random player .


Options for playing the player and rating on the chat channel
This function can be used to give victory to a certain player, etc., so that the competence of finding opponent can be deteriorated.


I hope the ladder map list is updated more frequently.
The list of maps will be updated regularly. We plan to have three seasons each year, and the map list will be updated every season.


Add ASL map to ladder map list.
It is already underway, and we will consider adding community-generated match maps to the ladder in the future.


Please add clan system and clan tournament system.
We plan to add the clan system to the game, but it is not scheduled for the nearest roadmap.


Suggested list of maps: How to use Touhon and Circuit Breaker as fixed ladder maps
We also agree to use Touhon and Circuit Breaker as fixed ladder maps.


Improved wait time when disconnected (disconnected) from other players At
present, StarCraft allows 45 seconds of response time when connection is bad. However, I think it is possible to greatly reduce the waiting time in this age.


Improving
Artificial Intelligence Now that we are dealing with artificial intelligence through the planned BWAPI integration, we believe more options will be available. Other than that, there is no plan for near-term work to improve artificial intelligence.


Options that increase the maximum number of people in a
custom game You might be able to add it as a custom game option, but it is not included in the roadmap in the near future.


Please increase the maximum number of players available to 10, 12, etc.
Taking into account the current phenomena we are trying to improve and the P2P network framework StarCraft is using, it will be difficult to increase the maximum number of players that can be involved unless we are reorganizing the entire network framework. As the maximum number of players increases, the lag phenomenon will also increase.


Please add Team Match Match (2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 4 vs 4).
Yeah! We plan to add this feature in 2018.


Please add a re-match option to match opponents.
If this option is added, it may be possible to eliminate the integrity of the opponent's opponent by repeatedly defeating the opponent in order to win the victory, but this is an option that can be considered sufficiently.


Please update your 20th anniversary console skin.
I am happy with the 20th anniversary console skins, but if you have any specific feedback, you are welcome. Please add


16 resolutions to SD graphics .
We wanted SD graphics to be as compatible with the remaster as possible and to keep the original Brodwar experience as good as possible,Adding a resolution can have a negative impact on this pure experience. There is no "absolute" of course, but it is not included in our roadmap at this time.


Please add an option to adjust the resolution in the window mode.
I think the 'resolution' that you gave me is the size of the window mode.


Please allow the race to change when a match (before the mirror) occurs.
What player should change their tribe if a match-up occurs? When both players are given the right to change, what if they change to the same race? Should we change the race again? It may happen that the two players continue to change to the same race and the game does not start. So, before we add this feature, we'll have to look carefully at what is going to be the best way.


Race by Race in Profile
This feature is currently being added to the user interface along with a new ladder (league level) system.


Customize Make your game classification (filter) easier in the user interface of the game.
Let's take a look at this.


Please add an option to auto-save the waiting room name.
Yes, this feature has been added with the 1.21.5 patch!


Ability
to play on only one selected ladder map except for other maps This feature will be difficult to apply because it changes the way players interact in ladder games.


Please make a blizzard production map.
We also want to add a Blizzard production map, but this is a lower priority than other feature requests.


Ability to ignore in-game conversations is
now available via the / dnd <player name> command.


Make a dedicated channel for people who are interested in team-play games.
We are currently looking at ways to reorganize your channel list, and the features you mentioned may be part of this reorganization.


MMR auto drop function is required.
The current roadmap includes adding some sort of MMR auto-drop system.


Minimap scaling for large maps (over 128 * 128 sizes) is an
interesting comment and we'll take a closer look. I would also like to hear from others about this feature.


Add a magistrate mode to the ladder (aka "saint")
You can consider it from a long-term perspective, but it is not included in the roadmap in near-term days.


Others:

I do not want to change the balance.
We also agree!



I have been looking at ways in which a player with a high MMR can create a new identity and play at a lower skill level to solve the problem, and there were many good ideas out of the comments you left.


There is a lack of punishment for inappropriate language use such as profanity.
I agree that I need a better interface and system for this.


There are too many maps in the ladder map list.
At this time, we will not change the number of 7 ladder maps and 3 map exclusions, but you can continue to check the overall community feedback and adjust if necessary.


Match your opponent too much in finding opponents.
At this time, there is no separate system that prevents you from meeting the same person again. You might consider adding these features, but some players who like to re-engage with their talented counterparts may not welcome these features. Therefore, I think that this is a problem to think about.


Starting MMR (1500 points) is too high.
The starting MMR is only a central point in the rating system. If you lower the starting MMR, it will simply lower the MMR of all players.


Please let us play all EUD maps.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to apply all EUDs in StarCraft: Remaster. In particular, EUD maps that change graphics are currently not available in the emulator.


There are players who use nuclear programs.
At present, StarCraft is using the best anti-nuclear software (even the best in the game industry) among the Blizzard games. If you witness a player suspected of using a nuclear program, please inform us with the replay and we will take corresponding action. StarCraft: There have been no reports of actual use of the nuclear program since the release of the remaster. However, some players have exploited gameplay-related bugs that could be unfair, so we will focus on preventing this behavior in the future.


Illegal Websites Spam Messages
Illegal Websites Some progress has been made in the prevention of spam messages, and we will continue to do so in the future.


The rak phenomenon has disappeared.
Fortunately, the! Thank you all for your support!


We would like to thank all the Korean players who have provided support and support to StarCraft. We will continue to do our best to further improve StarCraft with the community.
