May be you might even get Barrin on the stream ?!?  Regards! Fuck yeah. Get Barrin on to pitch the idea from the source! If he's available, of course. | ||

BTW: -Thread 1,000+ replies, 100,000+ views in under 5 days -Spotlighted on TL -Top of B.net popular topics for 4 days (still near top) -588 points and counting on reddit. -Seen on more even SC2 gaming forums. -In-game proof of concept maps have seen hundreds (probably thousands) of hours of testing across multiple servers. -Multiple strong (pro/ex-pro, GM) players say it is "more like BW", the general idea is essentially proven. -Pros/Ex-Pros and Community Figures nearly unanimously favorable towards it so far. Please think carefully before you discard this! You have tremendous power to help shape the game should you desire to. I'd definitely tune in for a discussion of this stuff. Totally behind this. | ||

I doubt it, It really shouldn't count as an episode it was just geoff doing interviews not really even talking about sc2 at all also it was only like >30 minutes long I think. The stream died in the middle of it and everyone was super tired. | ||

I would like to see them brainstorm about the larger problem: whether or not Barrin's specific tweaks are the right approach, there's no way to try out new maps with radically new ideas in the first place. How could the Starcraft community address this? Maybe a semi regular tournament with a prize pool dedicated to experimental map designs? | ||

Simultaneous live release with HOTS seems like the only possibility to me. Like Barrin said, everyone will be psychologically okay with sort of starting from scratch. Any other time seems impossible to me. | ||

I loved Supreme Commander (Sup TLO), the scope and scale of that game, smashing waves of forces over a huge frontage to fight for terrority, alas it didnt have quite the same polish, mechanics or support as starcraft does. | ||

This game mode can give those players more interest in the game, which helps the game stay active and helps to promote the esports side of things as well. It's possible, though, that they would be less interested in watching pro matches because their own games are better than the pro games if they play on these maps. | ||

Step 1 (WoL): casual-friendly. get ALL the casuals! (lure em in) Wrong! Blizzard said, they think WoL wasn't Casualfriendly enough. HotS (especially Singleplayer/CustomGames) will be much more Casualfriendly. | ||

Honestly, the following strategy makes a ton of sense Step 1 (WoL): casual-friendly. get ALL the casuals!

Step 1 of the 3 step plan was heavily reliant on making us believe they were idiots by messing up something as simple as APM. By step 2 EPM will be gone and regular APM will be back, although it will be based on Blizzard minutes. Then step 3, 2015, we'll have regular APM back. | ||

(not my idea) I won't take my chances though, lets talk about it (if you want)! <3 more like step 1 -- get as much money from casuals as possible. step 2 -- casuals are not playing anymore, so make it more casual so that they come back and take their money step 3 -- fuck, they left again, make it even more casual so that they come back. | ||
