Will the "Spawning" feature still work in LotV? As long as I buy LotV will I be able to spawn friends in for Archon Mode? Or is that only for Arcade/UMS? + Show Spoiler + On April 01 2015 20:52 Kazahk wrote: I know people will bitch about this but LAN is honestly outdated. Most people don't even use ethernet cables anymore, the one thing it was good for was tournament settings. Of course it comes with its own down sides but that is the price you pay for convenience. But really bringing computers within feet of each other to transfer information is so 90's. EDIT: yes wireless lan can still be used but at that point it isn't to different from battle.net LAN eliminates the need for B.Net. There will be zero lag - ISP problems? Blizz getting ddos'd? Wouldn't matter if you had some buddies over because you could just disconnect and keep on playing... | ||

They say the most important way to make a competitive game appeal to casual players is to put them in a team so that not every mistake is entirely their fault, implying they can put more blame on their allies, which is much less stressful. I actually think that logic is flawed when it comes to online games. Because if you can effectively blame your allies, lots of people are going to blame their allies and that creates an awfull playing experience. The appeal of MOBA's and CS has much more to do with the actual game being a ton simpler to learnand less stresful to play (while maintaining a high skillcap) than the teamgame experience. At least in soloq, the social experience is really awfull. Yes archon mode can have its charm. If you have 2 friends who are less skilled, they could now have fun playing vs you. And it does indeed reduce the mechanical entrance barrier to the game, which I believe is good. But w/ regards to playing with random people as teammates, I don't see teamgames as the big solution here. I think its confusing correlation w/ causation. Instead, the best solution is to make Starcraft a ton easier to learn while maintaining a very high skillcap. | ||

I made a SC1 Game modes Extension mod which has Team Melee as a mode. Here are all the modes. -Team Melee [ Teams share control and resources of 1 base, standard melee victory. Just like Archon mode, except you can have more than 2 players on a team. The only draw back is that you have to select a map that has slots for at least the number of players playing. ] -Capture the Flag [ Capture a set amount of enemy flags to win. ] -King of the Hill [ Each unit on the hill grants you 1 point, reach the point limit to win. Hill randomly moves around the map. ] -Greed [ Mine a set amount of minerals first to win. ] -Slaughter [ Be the first to reach a certain kill count to win. ] Here's a link to the extension mod! battlenet://starcraft/map/1/235631 | ||
