I really don't see tabbing as a middle ground. Essentially, instead of 5z6z7z8z9d0t, you're doing 5z tab z tab z tab z tab d tab t. Not much of a compromise if you ask me. MBS is pretty much either give or take. A solution that I like is to simply not allow MBS'd buildings to be hotkeyed. | ||

I initially preferred 5zzzdt, but as it turns out from the poll, the 'more informed' players prefer more button presses, nothing taken away from Brood War macro. I thought about it. So hence, the tab included. For the MBS users, they could hotkey 5 gateways to mass-produce zealots only, and 2 gateways to mass-produce dragoons or alternate dragoons and high templars. The only thing I went against the poll's majority is the 'delay' factor. More wanted no delay than with delay. It has a negative connotation so I re-phrased it to 'rate of production'. In essence, pure MBS is overpowered. It enables one to produce 50 units in one shot. That is the problem. I am waiting for feedback to see if people on both camps can agree to applying a scale factor to MBS. The more units to build, the more time it should take. It's logical, ain't it? Thanks, Prose | ||

On, the otherhand I'm a bad player, and I would enjoy the luxory of not having to be super speed to micro and macro well at the same time. Or in otherwords I'm the noobish player (whom a lot of people on TL bash) who is not good enough to play like a pro without praticing like a pro, IE MBS will make me a lot better. Then again, while thinking of MBS I'm applying it to SC:BW and War3, therefore my opinion on this is worthless having not played SCII yet. On War3 though, I personally had a lot of fun having shorter macro so I could micro my army and hero. Wow, a pretty useless post, but this is a forum and I figured I would share my thoughts. (and this is bringing up my post count so you elitists (thats what many of you sound like, you guys use nice words like misimformed (or worse), but in the end it says the same thing; we are better than you therefore our opinion means more.) stop picking on people like me who have a rather low post count.) | ||

Still though, I think the tab idea is the best. Either that or allowing more hotkeys (like maybe F9-F12 or something) | ||

No to MBS. I'm not desperate for a new game. I can play BW if SC2 doesn't satisfy me. I'll just regard it as a cool single player campaign experience. | ||

But I agree with Aphelion about MBS not being able to really be solved by button presses, because instead of only being able to select at most ten buildings in SC, with MBS you could have all of your buildings in one hotkey, and therefore you would never need to go back to your base except to add in buildings or change hotkeys. | ||

There is no wrong opinion as long as you present it as an opinion rather than stating it as a fact.I read all of the posts, but it seems to me that a lot of people are upset that other people can and out voted (well voted agaisnt) the general population of TL.net, but I would like to point out, how many times has TL.net banded together to rig other polls?

Blizzard must implement every technical/mechanical aspect to allow the spectator to fully appreciate what the player does in the game. The skill level must be increased. We must have freedom to control every aspect of game management or else we would only be adding another fancy title to E-Sports. One thing is certain - Blizzard has to increase the games watchability level. This goes back to accessibility and by that I mean: how easy is it for someone to watch when they have very little knowledge of the game? We want to evolve E-Sport, yes... We also have to evolve E-Sport as a Spectator sport at the same time and MBS is insignificant in this regard. This accessibility is a lot different from the learning curve someone who has never played this type of RTS aka adding MBS in to make it easier for them. Either way if you put MBS in you are losing a fundamental component of what made this game so good in the first place. Don't fix something that isn't broken. There is no need for it. | ||

however, this is definitely not the case for MANY TLers, including myself. i'll be the first to admit that i suck at starcraft. on abyss i was 5-4 D rank--not exactly what you would call "elite". but do i blame the interface for me sucking so badly? no, rather i know it's due to my lack of practice, my lack of hotkeys, and my lack of ability to multitask. i enjoy a good game of starcraft, WITHOUT mbs. in fact, before i played starcraft i played AOE2, and MBS is implemented into that game. after i played starcraft for a while i realized just how much AOE2 sucks, and how ridiculously easy it is. and i'm into the pro scene. why are the pros so impressive? because i know from first-hand experience that as they are doing these ridiculous micro moves with their armies, they are able to look away from the battle scene momentarily to continue their production cycles because they have such great knowledge about when it's appropriate to do so. to me and to most others, that's simply awe-inspiring. MBS would take away from that. noobs should be able to have fun playing other noobs. good players should be able to have fun playing other good players. neither require MBS, and in fact have already been proven to be true with the SC:BW model. | ||
