Just like WC3. The lava or tides are probably disabled in melee maps. I think the static changes/randomness of the map could fuck people up. I could be wrong, depend how Blizzard wants this. | ||

As long as it's predictable (the lava rises at predetermined time intervals, for instance), it can be acceptable in a competitive environment. I don't think it's a necessary avenue in improving depth as it will complicate balancing, and the last thing the designers need is another factor to consider when balancing. It definitely should be a map making option, though, if at least to help UMS. If balance or playability issues arise in competition, bad maps will be phased out and demonized as they have always been. | ||

IIRC there are no UMS maps in SC1 proleague even though it IS doable in sc1, so why would this be part of SC2 proleague? Thats actually good question to the OP, what does make you think that in SC2's proleague UMS maps will be popular unlike in SC1's proleague? Cause SC1 does have trigger that destroys everything on designated area. so it wasn't LAVA! | ||

Which would bring a whole new meaning for timing attack... focusing not only on opponent's tech and army size, etc., but on chokepoint openings. | ||

It has no use speculating on all those new cool things, because we don't know what will be normal in the maps that are available at launch. And after we played 1 year battle.net. The 1st year of sc2 will just be knowing the game, this mechanic delays the game. Do we need that? Nobody knows, so speculating about that in topics like these, is useless until the game is actually released.... -oh and, isn't luck something like this? I think this is unfair for some situations we still have to figure out. So this is a bad mechanic. Luck mechanic = bad! ok now, i'm going to stay out of useless topics the sc2 forum has. actually if the game is being delayed anyway then we got nothing better to do than to debate it. well, unless we wanna not join in on the forums.

What kind of lava rises and falls every couple minutes? dude, it's an ash world...it's like our world is a water world. the gravity of the satellite and star is pulling the lava into the shore and back again...it's just a tide. and the couple of minutes or whatever is just how it appears to the player. it doesn't really take only a few esconds for an scv to finish carving away some minerals and bring them back to the command center...you gotta realize that the time is scaled. | ||
