What is needed though, is to keep a large core group of passionate viewers to sustain the scene just like in BW. Stuff like more community interaction, better social mediums in the bnet client, more interesting gameplays, more marketing of tournaments and personality to viewers. All of these blizzard have either dropped the ball huge time or they just don't want to create a sustainable sc2 scene (i can't understand why they wouldn't want this so i assume they fucked this up big time) | ||

Switching around and trying weird shit helps alot to add variety to the game, for those who haven't played more than one race for a long time should definitely play around with the other races aswell. | ||

But you know what, after watching a couple of lan events 1 month ago, i wanted to get back on sc2 and see if i could become master again, i think season 7 will bring me this promotion and i will keep playing until i reach top 8 master. Of course i have good friends to play with so it helps a lot, but i think starcraft 2 is interesting only if you have a goal and that you can achieve it. ( plus i enjoy sc2 because games don't last like 45 minutes, and you have less rage in sc2 than LoL, because you can only blame yourself ) | ||

You are missing moderated chat channels, embedded streams, alternative ladder systems? Guess what, older games didn't have all those features either but the community looked for and found better alternatives (IRC, scene sites, tournament orgs, etc.). The SC2 community appears to be extremely spoiled in this regard. SC2 is possibly the gaming community with the biggest ratio of passive spectators to active players. This shows the interest and the reluctance to actually play the game at the same time. Don't you think the game itself is the problem here? SC2 is the best RTS of the last years, but it is so by doing its handcraft, it doesn't excel gameplay-wise in any point which would wow casual and expert players alike. Players that put a lot of work into the game will stick much longer to the game than just spectators. Yes, there is BW with a lot of spectators only in Korea, but it is a fully-dressed professional sports there with expensive production and its popularity developed from the grassroots PC bang scene. | ||

Play random, play team games, play customs, practice new builds, etc. Or just don't play for a while. There's no prize for playing sc2 (for you and me), so if you don't have fun there is no point. | ||

Fact is, matchmaking is fine, hosting games is fine (no problems with NAT traversal etc.) and cheating problem is still under control. Battle.net works fine for 99% of the people. It's just that missing features like cross-realm play, LAN support, reconnect ability and replay sharing leave a bitter taste in your mouth considering SC2 is supposed to be an e-sports title, but again, this maybe touches 1% of the player base.

The thing is, "old games" had many of those things. Take wc3 for an example. | ||

I didn't get bored of playing yet even though I've played since the beta. In fact, I think I'm only now starting to really enjoy it. But yeah, I think it's Blizzard's job to make the experience more interesting, not much you can do if you stop having fun playing.. | ||

Otherwise just take a break, nobody is forcing you to play - maybe SC2 just isn't your thing. | ||

With WC3 or BW there was a reason to just idle online and chat. It got you coming back to the game, which in turn got you playing. With WOL there is no compelling reason to log onto Battle Net, and this in turn keeps people from playing. In BW the majority of games I would play would only be after a conversation with a friend about XYZ vs ZYX. This doesn't really happen in WOL since chat channels are a joke and there is no clan support. With the new GSL maps, people will hopefully play more, but I also think that a big reason people are bored of SC2 is that the game is boring. Unless you are a tip top professional player its a very stagnant and straightforward game. WC3 and BW had much more breadth of gameplay within a single match, and WOL simply doesn't. | ||
