We'll be using Time Supply Blocked in ggtracker very soon. Until then you'll have to track it manually, sorry  | ||

The journey continues...hopefully see step 2 by the end of the week. Noob terran, 5 wks in. Terran SS? o.0 EDIT: Oh, spending skill. I thought you meant league for a while there. But in the mean time, Godwin's Law strikes again in the most unexpected of places. | ||

For example: zerg (lvl X): unit1, unit2, unit3 protoss (lvl Y): unit1, unit2, unit3 terran (lvl Z): unit1, unit2, unit3 in a sidebar of some sort. In preferences/options, a checkbox that says: "Staircase mode" that enables some features about TheStaircase. | ||

 There will be a whole Staircase section I believe that will keep track of your passes and fails and what step you're on etc. Its going to be awesome. | ||

But we're getting very close. I was thinking more in terms of leaguification of "time supply block". I remember you were working on getting more data to be able to leaguify it! How's that coming along? Although I think it's still easiest to just count them while in game! Probably press a gg button when getting supply blocked? lol! | ||

I hate blizzard so much for hiding MMR aka ELO rating from players, but I believe that's necessary evil to keep casual players playing, and those players important as well, since a lot of money is needed for development. I just started staircase but I already see a lot of improvement, I was skeptical about unit restriction but that's absolutely necessary to focus on right things: injects, creep spread, spending minerals. And believe or not, but from my first 10 games on ladder I won 7 playing with only one allowed unit - zergling! I only wonder what I could do when I would be able to use baneling... Looks like my opps will have no chance then. | ||

we can't leaguify supply blocks because we can't measure them accurately yet. For now, we have to go with Time Supply Capped from the score screen over time. | ||

Masters and up should be able to see their MMR, like the way it used to be with Win/Loss. At least that's my opinion; I'm sure Blizz won't see this specific obscure post and do exactly what I want. | ||

I agree with that sooo much. Especially because there is such a diverse range of skill in the masters league, it would really help to make Master's league more meaningful. | ||

EU Diamond Zerg here, i have read the article about the staircase and in my opinion i think it`s the right way for low level players. I started to give it a try and made my first matches on na as terran. I`ve started in bronze league and i must say: it works. But a few questions are still open: 1. How about upgrades? I`m on step 3 and i guess i`m allowed to build ebays and armories? 2. How about a special Buildorder or Expanding? The first matches i go for 1 Rax FE, it`s the only Buildorder i know... after expanding i`m adding productions and go for a third before 10 minutes. 3. I`m very interested to translate your Staircase into German. Maybe we could talk about that? Please excuse my bad english, it has been years thati have written in english ;-) | ||

There is no restriction on upgrades or buildings (as it says in the docs) which means you can build any buildings you want and get w/e upgrades you want starting at step 2. As far as a build order goes, that's kind of the point. Don't worry about a build if you don't want to. Otherwise you can look one up. The idea is that you can explore the game with or without a build, its up to you Expanding should happen whenever you'd like (preferably between the time where you have 16 on minerals and the time when you have 24 on the minerals.)All you need to do to translate TheStaircase into german is make a copy on google, docs, translate, and then share that copy with me, and I will add it as a page in the main document and your english is excellent | ||

Translation in Version 1.0 is done, maybe the one or other can correct some bad passages. The message of the staircase should be delivered. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtHP6dJM4HMPdDIwT0NtWjFYVUg3VXZielBQaWpWdUE&usp=sharing | ||

i'm not saying paying more attention to workers/supply isn't a great idea... but seriously most low-bronze terrans couldn't lose to a toss who doesn't get gas so step 1 is kinda pointless for them... | ||
