To derive use from it you would have to manually rename and file replays according to some criteria. Its just that in the old configuration you had the option of seeing every game you ever played and the only downside was a few less megabytes of free space on your drive. I think it's worth it. You should try sc gears. It is targeted towards pro players. Blizzard wouldn't spend so much effort on a product for so little people. The killer feature is an AMP vs time chart. I don't see where the confusion is. In the new scheme, a player saves replays based on some kind of criteria they establish. This might mean saving 10-15% of the games played / observed. This makes finding a certain replay easier, since instead of 1000 replays, you're sifting through 100. In the old way, a player has ALL their replays saved, even UMS games, games that lasted 2 seconds, etc... In the latter case, the replays become hard to manage. There is literally 1000+ replays to scroll through, and it is more difficult to find something in particular, this is the downside. I wouldn't mind an auto-save option, but I would definitely turn it off. There should just be a save replay option in the score screen (I think this was there in patch 15?). I've tried SC2 gears out. I found the interface to be pretty clunky. I'll wait until it gets refined. | ||

The more you know! (not sure of the exact time/size ratio ... but close enough) If each replay is 50 KB then 100 GB would equal 2,097,152 replays. Which is, you know, a lot of replays. | ||

I dont want to have to through and delete replays, id rather have it be somehwere between 10-100 I've 2200 reps from beta on comp, they take 252 MB total. It'd be surprising if I managed to mass games even to match 1 GB of space, ever? I couldn't think of better use for 1GB of stuff than SC2 reps, even if I unlikely ever checked them. It's a catalog of what you've done in a game, game history. I for one appreciate the ability to look up a game from any given time. There's really no sense to not have at least option to autosave all reps. It should be automatical, because more people will be sad to notice they could've had their first games up for viewing, than those who'll be happy for not having to use 5secs to remove 90% of them at any point. It's not even close, autosave as option should 100% of people agree on, autosave as default option should 50%+ agree on. | ||

WC3 doesn't autosave replays either by default. | ||

I'm using Vista 64 and dumping them in Documents\Starcraft II Beta\Replays\Multiplayer just like I did in phase 1 and they aren't showing up in-game. edit: Figured it out.. i'm dumb. You have to 'keep' a replay before it will create a Multiplayer folder at the new location listed on page 1. Then you just dump in that one. | ||

THIS IS blizzard's first attempt at limiting the user generated comment that you created, but THEY OWN. I'm sure it will make it easier for them to figure out who is pirating user generated content from the servers and turning it into videos on youtube without their consent. I could be wrong, but I bet my starcraft 2 game that this was implemented because these are replays blizzard owns, not the user. | ||

I don't think the average gamer would want every game they ever played saved, so I don't mind the system only keeping around 25 at a time (tho I would make it last 100 personally) but an option would be nice. For the rest of us I can guarantee that a program will pop up shortly which auto copy-pastes replays out of your recent folder to another location. We already had programs which auto-rename the replays for us. There will no doubt be one which both renames and moves replays to a safe folder as they appear. | ||

These days 1000+ gigabyte drives are common, so it's not like we'll run out of space even after years of games. yup, they def. should have added an option to cancel / enable it. automatically saving replays was one of my favorite features of the game, every now and then i would just look at random games to see how i won / loss, but now i cant do that anymore, unless i save everysingle one. which i dont exactly feel like doing after raging when i lose ;p | ||
