Yes, for instance, we have better fixes for the floating SCV stuff than Blizzard implemented, and prevent a number of similar bugs that have been used for mineral hacks + unit duplication glitches. We also have fixed a desync issue that can occur while observing games. | ||

We're planning on expanding the party system, so besides being used for 2v2 matchmaking, you can also create a lobby together with your party and watch replays together. | ||

Thanks for the info, that sounds like a good way of doing it. | ||

A buddy of mine whom I play 2v2 customs with on Bnet uses OS X and it'd be cool to play proper 2v2 ladder. I am aware of the faq section of the site, just wanted to carefully check on if there are any updates Thanks!There have been reports of SB working on Wine via some GitHub contributors although it is not -- at present -- officially supported. Give it a try and see if it works for you and your friend. | ||

Let's all who are willing gather around that cause and brainstorm ideas how to make progress here. Some ideas of the top of my head: 1. Make a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for a 2v2 tournament to be held on SB. Since SB's edge over battle.net is most apparent in 2v2, that could be one approach to take. Doing prize tournaments for 8 consecutive weeks would make people develop a habit of coming to SB. Crowdfunding can be a big part of this, as most of BW players are working, making money and share a love for this game. This type of population I think is willing to donate. 2. Define 'hot hours'. Check out the stats when SB is most active, and write them somewhere clearly. This way, the people who wanna try it out, play some games, can all try to come online at a similar time, rather than randomly. (Kinda like Tinder has peak hours.) We can start with this right now, if the developers list top 3 peak hours in a week. Don't list the stats if they're depressing. Just give us 3 potential timeslots to come online. --- Comment on my suggestions, and write you own as well. Come on. Also, I wanna ask everyone to filter their words in case they wanna say ANYTHING negative towards the developers. Every word you say should go thru a filter of gratitude after you remind yourself how much time, and efforts with good intentions these people have invested and continue to invest. The objections you have should be delivered with extreme care. Take all poison of out your words, and deliver feedback with a neutral tone. If you want the BW community well, then remember we're all in this together, try to contribute positively. | ||

If you want the BW community well, then remember we're all in this together, try to contribute positively. I like the hot hours idea! While I do think visibility is obviously a plus to getting more people to play on SB, there needs to be a need for your average person playing Remastered ladder to play on SB instead of Bnet. Active TL users are probably more fine with waiting that extra time for their match if it means playing on SB, but for someone not as invested there is probably not much of an incentive to ditch Bnet right now. This is not really a concrete suggestion obviously, but also since SB is pretty much a niche within a niche, the playerbase will have next to no players you can consider "beginners". And there are already a lot of people registered on SB so I think it's more to do with people loving the idea of SB but will still play on Bnet because the playerbase is larger right now. | ||

What about adding feature where you can see how much players are in Queue right at the moment when you start find opponent? I think it would improve ladder experience alot for both 1v1 and 2v2 gameplay! | ||
