Since we couldn't make static defense work as you wanted, giving races different tools to harass in a multi-pronged fashion seems to be the the way to go. | ||

Host a tourney with this mod. You'd get exposure. | ||

In case anyone remembers the "FRB grand tournament", something similiar would be very interesting to see for this mod. I'm really really curious on how it plays out, because just reading through the changes they sound just so on the spot to me. I like how you try to correct a lot of SC2's shortcomings, but without just reproducing BW. Too bad I suck as a player, or I'd play it for sure. | ||

Gem League/ThSL don't. Just mail a cool thing. | ||

Edit: I am not sure if that was a clever troll or not. If it was hats off to you. Brood War tourneys are not relevant in the SC2 scene. Additionally, if we were to produce a hype trailer with the production value of Gem League and then say "guys, we can "fix" sc2 guys!" We would be laughed out of the building. Either we do this at a level that commands respect reserved for professional services or we don't do it at all. We simply can't afford to half-ass something like this. Which is why you haven't heard much from us recently. | ||

You know what I'd rather see? A tourney for joes. | ||

One balance idea would to be to make marines slightly larger. This would have numerous effects: 1. Less damage per square foot. This means that marines do WORSE as a giant deathball, so battles last longer. Additionally, they do WORSE against expensive ranged units like carriers, tempests, immortals, hydras, etc. 2. They do WORSE against melee units as well. This is because you could have 3 zerglings on a marine instead of 2 or something like that, since they're bigger and more zerglings can get surface area on them. 3. However, they do BETTER against AOE damage - banelings, tanks, void rays, colossi. This is because less of them fit into the AOE. What effect does this have? MORE SOFT COUNTERS (marines vs carriers, marines vs zerglings) and LESS HARD COUNTERS (marines vs colossi, marines vs tanks). Any thoughts? | ||

Its really intuitive and obvious that I have never really considered it. I do think that even if it doesn't produce expected results, it's at least worth play-testing a bit. | ||

This sounds excellent, I've been hoping for this exact change for a long time now. As a general comment, so pumped about this project. Wish I had enough time to try it out! If you all have a tournament or anything definitely let me know, I'll tell everyone I know  | ||

I think it's kind of cool to have this, but it's too hard to find people playing it to see myself actually getting to the point where I could possibly add anything to the discussion. | ||

Thanks for the feedback. Here is the situation: Currently, my rig is undergoing a slow motherboard failure and it will be some time before I can get it replaced. The team is comprised mostly of students, so our participation is limited by our schedules. (I work a 40 hour week myself) I used to be able to spend a great deal more time online due to time off from work, and a functioning rig. Alas, life isn't as generous as it once was and I must make due with the cards I have been dealt. If you would like to set up a playdate, I can see about getting you a series of players to play with you. This is nearing the end of our slow period leading up to Patch 3. We are crossing our I's and dotting our Ts to make sure this is a top quality patch. When it hits arcade, there will be an influx of new players (hopefully) and the time will go down. Till then, I am happy to help. | ||
