I wonder if you'll be able to see the blurs of cloaked units like you normally can? | ||

Remaking every sprite from the different angles and animating them must have been a lot of work. | ||

So you'd probably just hit f5 and toggle through classic/scr/carbot. This will be a day 1 purchase for me. This is fantastic! | ||

That's a lot less disruptive and more open for cool things than the SC2 implementation is IMO. | ||

Framework was probably already in place from the remastered vs old graphics toggle | ||

Could be the start of something promising if it sells really well. I'd love to have micro-transactions in the game, maybe even something similar to SC2's warchest down the line? Or they could just release new skins (in-game and chat channels), maybe even made by outside sources (like Carbot)? I'm sure there'd be a big market for it, especially in Korea. | ||

This is the absolute right way (because user-friendly) to implement skins and other customizable content - make it OPTIONAL for everyone to see. I, personally, would rather like to see other skins than Carbot, though, but as long as I get to deactivate them on my end, keep 'em coming! | ||

The foreign player base isn't big enough to support team matchmaking (most likely) so the Q's would have to be global. If they make the Q's global there would be a lot of cross region lag (there's already lag in 1v1 so imagine having 2 foreigners and 2 koreans in a game). The priority list is stuff that the devs/coders are focused on, stuff like carbot/voice packs are mainly done without taxing dev resources. It's basically bonus content for us, doesn't hurt. | ||

I think it's fair enough to question what, exactly, buying this is supporting if there's still no news on when very requested features are coming, because you expect at least some percentage of the microtransaction money to go back in to development in the GaaS model. | ||

Who said that it's a problem for a strategy game? Modern gaming? I did. So let me substantiate my point a bit; first you have the slow attrition of your existing player base over the years, because -- even if it is doesnt bother you, it does bother others-- people will grow bored of the meta and opt out of the game. Ive seen dozens and dozens of people leave broodwar for that very reason. This forum is composed, to me, of mostly new faces. But there also old faces because they've been here for a decade, they were just the first of the last generation. We have no new people coming in, not by any waves. Why? The games the same fucking game, theres a lot of people who want to play intense strategy games, theres not that many who want to play THE EXACT SAME GAME FOREVER. Thats the truth. You can jack off all day to broodwars staleness, but its the very thing choking this game. Life is built on variation and change thats what keeps the spice going, broodwars incremental change only appeals to the die hard fanatics. Were all thats left! Look around! The average starcraft player is near 30. If we lose a few key players-- with flash and jaedongs wrists that seems quite likely-- a few more years, we will very likely be back facing the days of SSL obsolescence.Even little innovations have huge resonance when they are few and rare, that's true in all sports.

The average starcraft player is near 30. If we lose a few key players-- with flash and jaedongs wrists that seems quite likely-- a few more years, we will very likely be back facing the days of SSL obsolescence. But this is really my main point. Broodwar is a sport. Not the unit values. The game itself is the sport, we can rearrange the unit values and recreate the meta from the ground up and it would still be broodwar. Broodwar is NOT good because lurkers have 125 hp or marines are this cost or whatever. Its a great game because of the engine, the way units move, the ui, the potential variations. We can move the values and then change maps accordingly and we would still have a good game, only it would be one that had actual change to it which may inspire both old players who gave up and new players to join in. Change excites people. Broodwars community is a death cult. Well said. It's very unusual to me how most diehard fans can't understand the simple fact that change = relevancy. It's refreshing, every patch would be like waking up on Christmas morning wondering what will be the new meta and figuring it out is part of the experience too. I dont even think it's a matter of opinion, it's a physiological thing. The fear here is that starcraft would die because of a patch. Come on.. the game has been in this "dead" era for over a decade now. There's not much to lose at this point and a lot more to gain. Remastered brought in a lot die hard fans but most left. Graphics upgrade isn't enough to keep the game exciting Pretty sure flash talks about this in one of his recent videos. Believe he talks about changes being good for starcraft as long as blizzard is consistent with them and doesn't just abandon the game after 1 patch. I agree with him. If they plan on making 1 balance change then ditching the game, i would much rather they leave it alone. | ||

Thats a pitiful future that should be avoided. Change or die. Change like football does or chess you mean? Constant tinkering and complete overthrows of gameplay like SC2 on the other hand… What's the point in complaining about the FS/CB repetition when the introduction rate for new maps is actually almost back up to where it was during the Kespa days? Eventually even Blizzard might lift their FS/CB permanent ladder policies, who knows. I see you always complaining but never even making any concrete suggestions what would need to be changed. Guess that's your way of enjoying the game then? Be a bit more relaxed. All the people pronouncing the game dead over the last couple of years have been proven dead wrong so far. And if if eventually "dies" then precisely because no one even cares any more, so no reason to get all riled up about it. Are you seriously suggesting that tweaking a few numbers would bring masses of new players in? It wouldn't exactly turn the game into the spectacle that you seem to envision. A graphics mod like this actually can do way more in that regard. | ||

Now Koreans don’t want to settle for anything less than TR24 low latency games. This speed isn’t possible with foreign connections I never experienced lag on fish server and 99% of the games were against koreans(im @ north carolina). | ||

I, personally, would rather like to see other skins than Carbot, though, but as long as I get to deactivate them on my end, keep 'em coming! It's kinda a problem for the competitiveness of the game if people can deliberately select e.g. those crazy winged zerglings or the stalker and immortal skins that look extremely similar so that you can't tell how many units they have in their army. I think if you can set skins for other people to view - not just yourself - there should be an opt-out button in the UI so that people can choose to ignore the skin choices of other players on their client. SC2 doesn't have that and suffers a bit for it. Competition is done with all skins forced off for the players (with each player choosing the skins that observers can see them using) which is a decent compromise but not perfect from a player POV (none of your cool skins are visible even to yourself, do you want 95% of your games to be using a different skin set to the one that you're competing with?) and only applies to tournament games. Plus it's also really cool to be able to decide that you wanna play against carbot zerg and just set the enemy to that skin. This mod would be so much worse if it only affected your units and buildings without changing the map or the enemy. | ||

Where are purists who were against even for slightest change for hotkeys back then? They're pushing all of this down our throat. What if we end up just like SC2 if this will go like this? I don't want to ppl think that I'm against it judging from my post. It's really good for new generation, now we can start making progamers from 1st grade, maybe even less. But like I said, I don't like where we're going with this. Just mark my words, let's see where we'll be in 1-2-3 years... | ||

I understand although would've liked to see more technical improvements. Hope this will boost games popularity. In another note, if they're this good changing models, why not... MAKE NEW TILESETS? SC2 has tons of them IIRC from Galaxy Editor, LotV added even more. If they add more tilesets (just like they added some ramps) I'm 100% down for it. | ||

It only felt like LAN because it was so much better than iCCUP. I believe it was tec24 even did a comparison between all the turnrates a while ago, Fish was not TR24. | ||

Even #L2 was lag worthy at time, and you could use the WLauncher outside of fish anyway, so naming any servers is nonsensical. The tools are the important thing. Maybe you have an amazing connection to Korea. | ||

And if someone is playing regular SCR and another guy is using the Carbot skin, is it really the same exact game play? It's kind of like the old pillarbox 1.16 graphics vs SCR -- that is truly the same gameplay (arguably at least). Is this Carbot going to be the same? It just... "Feels" different? Obviously that's just watching the video and I'm sure it will be the same or they wouldn't have developed it. Either way, it's cool, and I'd likely try it, but I don't think I'd really ever use it beyond a few tries for fun. | ||

This period is, objectively, the most limited in actual map rotation and map differences, ever. 3 hatch muta into 3 gas defilier has been the staple for zerg for 13 years, its earliest iteration in 2005 would make it 14. The staple build that defines the entire way zergs approach zvt is old enough to be feeling up girls. This is a problem in a strategy game. I could say similar things about the other matchups, there has been genuine ossification. This is a problem in a strategy game. Its easy to idealize broodwar for years, its a great game with so much variation but....if youve been around for a long time, like a really long time, you would know this games general arc has grown stale. We are rearranging and acquiring greater precision and acuity but the fundamentals are completely understood and we are simply repeating ourselves for all intents and purposes. edit: broodwar grew through strong through the process you mentioned but everything has its limits, and we must be adaptable to survive, and if theres one thing that defines broodwar it would be its reactionary conservatism. If in ten years fs and cb [style map/meta] are the only things that are being offered by this community, broodwar will be a wraith of its former self barely struggling to hold on to scraps. Thats a pitiful future that should be avoided. Change or die.

Don't you get tired of it? xD Also, it's not really true either. You can in-fact do 1-base openings and non-standard builds. You see it on pro level, and below that it's even more viable (partially precisely because most people don't do it, are not used to non-standard, etc.). If you want to have a fun playstyle, you can develop your own fun playstyle. I used to only play 1rax FE in TvZ, but realized 1fact FE, or 1-1-1 is also really great and a lot of fun. I really hate playing against hydra-lurk, which is supposed to suck, but then you also see hydra-guardian on the pro level working... Etc., etc. This is kind of like complaining about balance -- when instead it's just really up to you to work around problems you face and find the things that work for you. | ||

Blizz are billionare company. They have over 9000 WoW servers, why they can't have 4-5 gateways for SC? Population is really low (unless Korea, but even for Korea it's not that big) so they could give it a shot. Of course, I understand, game cost 15$ and it won't pay off. But they're pushing new content for $. From post of Helmuss seems to be changing networking will impact the core. So they first need to write everything from scratch (ouch!) and 2nd pay $ from their pocket. Now I see it's impossible, sigh... | ||

As for team matchmaking, if they want to keep their promise, I would expect Blizzard to release the team matchmaking with the new season (or the following next season), so both 1v1 and 2v2 matchmaking start at the same time. | ||

This community is very set in its ways of things shouldn't be change that might change the way the game plays as many see it as perfect. This is a change that was readily available by using different launchers anyway - but it doesn't change the fact it's still a big change. They wanted to gauge the communities reaction before changing it so they didn't upset a load of people as their launch wasn't perfect, but you can tell they're working hard to make it better. | ||

It's a far smaller change than adding right click to rally which they did around 2006, 8 years after the game came out. Nobody questions that decision anymore.Just make the change. Team match released the same time as these new skins would have been nice, to give the population another boost. Development is still moving way too slow. | ||

This has been explained numerous times before, so I'll try to make it as simple as possible: Imagine you reallly wanted a chocolate chip cookie with macadamia nuts. The baker said that he'd give you a cookie today before you went off to school, but when you got there, he didn't have the chocolate chip cookie with macadamia nuts. Oh no! The chocolatier (the guy who makes chocolate chips) fell behind schedule, but is working on delivering them to the bakery as soon as possible. However, the nut forager did bring in the macadamia nuts, so the baker made a cookie with macadamia nuts but no chocolate chips. - "Here you go lil' Alpha, this is the best I can do for you right now!" the baker says. - "But I want chocolate chips!!!" responds lil' Alpha with a sour look on his face. - "I'm sorry lil' Alpha, the chocolatier is a bit behind schedule but he is working very hard on getting you the chocolate chips you want. We're not sure when he will be able to send me the chocolate chips!" the baker explained. - "But that's no fair! I want chocolate chips! Why can't the nut forager bring me chocolate chips? Why wasn't the forager working on chocolate chips too! I like chocolate chips more anyway." huffed lil' Alpha. - "Silly lil' Alpha, the nut forager doesn't make chocolate chips! Only the chocolatier can make chocolate chips. They have different jobs and do different things!" explained the baker. - "But both chocolate chips and macadamia nuts go on cookies, so why can't the nut forager do both? I would rather that he made the chocolate chips first, and then got me the macadamia nuts if he had time. The chocolate chips are the more important part of the cookie!" cried lil' Alpha. - "Lil' Alpha, they are different people with different jobs, one can't just do the job of the other! Just because the nut forager brought the macadamia nuts, that doesn't mean he could have already brought you chocolate chips instead!" said the baker, getting slightly irritated that he has to explain something so basic multiple times. - "Hmph, well then, I won't have any cookie at all then! If I don't have chocolate chips on my cookie, I don't want it! And by the way, why are there only nuts on the cookie and no chocolate chips? You promised me chocolate chips!" whines lil' Alpha. - "I just explained, it's beca- You know what? Go cry to your mom about it then, you stupid little shit," says the baker, and slams the door in lil' Alpha's face. THE END. | ||

Remember that Tasteless and Artosis cast Starcraft 100% of their working time so the grass will always be greener using their glasses to have a look at the situation. 1st win prize for the biggest Broodwar tournament is $30K. That's good for a Top5 game maybe in Korea, maybe Top10 worldwide but it's far from commercially viable for these companies. That's how I see it. | ||

The game works fine, ladder works fine for 1v1 which was always the main goal. That's plenty for a paltry 12 bucks 2 years ago. | ||

The baker said that he'd give you a cookie today before you went off to school, but when you got there, he didn't have the chocolate chip cookie with macadamia nuts. Oh no! The chocolatier (the guy who makes chocolate chips) fell behind schedule, but is working on delivering them to the bakery as soon as possible. However, the nut forager did bring in the macadamia nuts, so the baker made a cookie with macadamia nuts but no chocolate chips. - "Here you go lil' Alpha, this is the best I can do for you right now!" the baker says. - "But I want chocolate chips!!!" responds lil' Alpha with a sour look on his face. - "I'm sorry lil' Alpha, the chocolatier is a bit behind schedule but he is working very hard on getting you the chocolate chips you want. We're not sure when he will be able to send me the chocolate chips!" the baker explained. - "But that's no fair! I want chocolate chips! Why can't the nut forager bring me chocolate chips? Why wasn't the forager working on chocolate chips too! I like chocolate chips more anyway." huffed lil' Alpha. - "Silly lil' Alpha, the nut forager doesn't make chocolate chips! Only the chocolatier can make chocolate chips. They have different jobs and do different things!" explained the baker. - "But both chocolate chips and macadamia nuts go on cookies, so why can't the nut forager do both? I would rather that he made the chocolate chips first, and then got me the macadamia nuts if he had time. The chocolate chips are the more important part of the cookie!" cried lil' Alpha. - "Lil' Alpha, they are different people with different jobs, one can't just do the job of the other! Just because the nut forager brought the macadamia nuts, that doesn't mean he could have already brought you chocolate chips instead!" said the baker, getting slightly irritated that he has to explain something so basic multiple times. - "Hmph, well then, I won't have any cookie at all then! If I don't have chocolate chips on my cookie, I don't want it! And by the way, why are there only nuts on the cookie and no chocolate chips? You promised me chocolate chips!" whines lil' Alpha. - "I just explained, it's beca- You know what? Go cry to your mom about it then, you stupid little shit," says the baker, and slams the door in lil' Alpha's face. THE END. You always post a massive text wall. It is 436 words. If you condensed your posts I would start reading them. Until then, I will continue to stop reading them like I have been doing for awhile now. I don’t have the time to read that respectfully. | ||

Condensed version: the people that made carbot are not the people who would make 2v2 ladder so it's not like them not making this would have made 2v2 ladder come out any faster. | ||

Team MM wasn't a priority among Koreans so the team prioritised other things like 64 bits compatibility which is kind of a big deal. This reminds me of those folks asking for free remastered because they purchased sc in 1998 which is pathetic. | ||

It sucks but everyone is going to need to do it by the end of this year iirc as 32 bit on macs will no longer be supported and windows is droppingsupportt too | ||

They promised 2v2 matchmaking at launch already and it's now 2 years later and it's still not there. For many this was an important feature and one of the things we were really looking forward to, but it just never came. I think most have been pretty patient, but it's pretty sad it's still not implemented. I seriously have no idea how you can compare this to ppl asking for a free copy of SCR after getting a copy years ago. I don't think anyone is asking for favors here or being unreasonable, ppl were promised a feature and it was not delivered. Anyway, I think it's safe to say most of us are still happy that Blizz made SCR and I do think the Carbot skin is awesome, but yea, I'd personally also rather have team ladder (and yes, I know the artwork was not done by the devs, but I'm sure the devs had to devote some of their time to make some changes to the code/testing). | ||

When i posted the first time it wasn't up there, so i went to the profile to see if it was there and sure enough it was. Thats how i purchased mine but ya, you can now purchase it from their site. | ||

10EUR if you own remastered. I guess that would be also 10$? Anyone know if you can play regular ladder with it or do you require the other party to also be in cartoon mode? If you can do anything in cartoon mode including sharing the same ladder I might be starting to play Starcraft. Graphics was kind of what I disliked. | ||

Why not release a money-patch with team matchmaking? 80% of users would have bought it! | ||

I don't think many will spend $10 on it, just ridiculously expensive for what you get. Releasing a team matchmaking patch for $$ after promising it'd be there at launch already however... I think that would be reason to bring the pitchforks out.... I would certainly not be paying for that and I'd probably never touch another Blizzard game again (which luckily isn't too hard with the stuff they are releasing these days) | ||

Yeah, but when I wake up and check the number of viewers on StarCraft Twitch.TV channel, it's now around 500~600 viewers compared to less than 100 before SCR Carbot DLC came out. I wish it was way more though. | ||
