Based on the changes made to Terminus RE recently,
I think we'll see a Terminus LE soon.

No it is not. We don't have a single clue regarding the evolution of the number of games during the previous months, all we see here is less games made throughout the month of september.
Oh wait, school anyone ?

No one else is wondering, why the season starts 1 day after Blizzcon?
There might be a special reason (HotS Beta incoming *caugh*) for this week
Probably expecting a spike in activity. A pile up in bonus pool would probably stomp that out quickly.

The length of the season doesn't matter, you're still going to be playing the same amount of games as you did before, and so did everyone else.

I've shouted this till my voice was hoarse but I guess I'll just say it one more time:
Real competitive smart players want to see their skill measured in an objective way. Blizzard: Show me the MMR!! Show me my real ELO rating so I can see my progress magically reflected in a number. I want the truth!
|
New maps for new season? I hope so, some of the current pool is pretty shit.
|
Yes being able to see your MMR and real ELO rating would be so much better than the current system

Anything new in S4? Maybe in terms of maps (one still can hope ^^).

I thought the 3 month seasons were fine. I think the GM change is good. More people have a chance
|

Unless people usually play more at the beginning and end of a season... having a higher frequency will increase overall games.
EDIT: I'm not saying 2 months is better than 3 or w/e, but 2 or 3 months is a lot better than 6 or 8 months. At some point having more seasons will not bring in more games because people will stop caring that a season is starting/ending.
Also, if they continue to introduce new maps with each season it will also encourage more play.

good change, 3 month long seasons were just a stupid idea by blizzard
|
Season length is kind of irrelevant when your MMR is preserved through the seaosns. Just pick up where you last left off. I think this is actually better in some cases, because it forces the system to assign you to a division at that instance of MMR. If you're teetering between two leagues, this might be the break you're looking for.

Going from one extreme to another.
I think 5 - 6 months is good, but w/e blizzard is blizzard.
First season was just the initial one when people were buying the game. It was naturally longer to compensate. I think he means traditional seasons in sports (i.e. Basketball and football)... I don't know, however. I don't watch those sports. he said WoW, just didn't finish the capitalization. My mistake. That makes more sense.
Lol. Wow and WoW make a world of a difference when trying to say something.
Regarding the topic:
I am acutally very excited for the new season to start. It will give me a chance to make sure I can mass game and keep my bonus pool low. Time to start mass gaming again
|
I suppose my best guess is that people's MMR numbers aren't released publicly because Blizzard is afraid of being caught using a statistically flawed system. So, instead, we are given numbers are kind of indicative of our skill, but obviously flawed in order hide the true issues with the ranking system. The second idea that I had is that Blizzard just thinks everyone is too stupid to understand the meaning of an ELO rating so they dumbed the system down.
|
Sc2ranks was down for me a while ago. Maybe it doesnt record stats when the site isnt working? If not then that is pretty shocking but there are alot of streams to watch these days.
|
I think 3 months would have been better, 4 seasons a year, that makes more sense
