make FFA ladder , it wont hurt anyone!!!!


This reminds me of Wc3 ffa ladder... IF you're lucky enough to actually get a que (which could take hours) and you lose.. you'd be placed at top 200 ladder rank because noone played it :D

Of course, this is more due to wc3 ladder games being wildly unpopular (compared to UMS)


top 200 ladder or top 10 it wont hurt anyone if someone is placed high in FFA ladder, and i dont know about que i played at northrend and i always had ladder FFA game after 3-5 min wait.Its more fun to play ffa with more equal opponents
truth is out there

Has the idea of a large proxy viewing/observing service similar to HLTV ever been considered for SC2? Is this something that is even feasible given the way SC2 is designed? Would an HLTV like service be something that you think could help SC2 as a sport that is primarily viewed online by people who actively play the game?

You guys have taken quite a bit to make this epic expansion for SC2, and I was just wondering....


Are there destructible rocks in the office at Blizzard HQ?

Also-What race do you play Dustin?


lol.. dustin doesnt play this game... pssshaw


Sadly, you're prolly right lol


Hell, I don't blame him. God knows if it was my job to work 12 hours a day making a game, the last thing I would want to do when I got home was spend my precious few off-work hours playing that game.

Actually, a zealot does less dps than 2 marines, and spends most of its time walking, not dpsing.

Why can't we have 2 player maps for 1v1 instead of the 4 player maps? and, how do you guys deal with the (justified/unjustified) constant QQ?

They keep saying that the have lot of things to do when asked why this or that is not implemented yet.
I would love to hear the first 3 or 5 priority on that list, what is more important than replay watching together, clan support or automatic tournaments on bnet.

what do you think about the range of vision of a morphing hatchery. it allows for Terran to place a bunker just next to it and the Zerg won't see it and it is an instantly loss.

don't you think the Hydralisk, symbol of the Zerg needs a speed buff? when out of creep is ridiculously bad. like EG.Idra said, Hydras are so bad that your opponent wants them alive!

With HoS coming up, and mentions of new units and/or removing and tweaking units, I wonder if we will see more skill/micro based units/mechanics? Tunneling claws, corruption, the colossus (such a boring unit compared to the Reaver), changeling etc. There are so many "gimmicky" units/abilites, and by removing them and replacing them with something that increases efficiency alot with skill (like blink... wonderful ability), the game will not only be more enjoyable when you get better, but the game will become alot more enjoyable to watch as an e-sport.

What I am wondering is if Blizzard is aiming to raise the skill ceiling with HoS?

no no, you are the one behaving like a regular at Blizzard forums. you should elaborate more, you know...

When will we be able to have any community maps put into the ladder pool? The entire reason SC:BW stayed alive was because of the community-created maps, so why are you now abandoning their input?

Shame i got to this thread late, chances are this will never get seen.

sigh.

Dustin Browder:

"The Terran race is incredibly versatile, weather it's the wide range of opening strategies that they have, or the tech tree which never needs a real divergence, being that the most stable strategies involve the barracks, the factory and the starport and from their they can branch into ghosts, Thors or BC's with 1 building for each respectively, the vast majority are readily available and also interchangeable with addons in the game.
Was it intentional to make the race this resilient, can you explain the reasoning behind this and weather you have plans to develop the other race's to be either able to punish different openings with different strategies, (e.g. a harrass unit for protoss or a siege unit for zerg) or develop the other races to be as resilient."

Dustin Browder:

"The Zerg race is incredibly versatile with a vast array of openings, easily changing their builds with a single larva inject allowing them to make 7 units to cheese instead of drones. Their tech tree has pretty much 0 divergence, being that the most stable strategies involve the hatchery which can create every single unit as long as they have 1 building required for that. As Terran and Protoss we must build multiple unit producing structures, and if we ever want to change from bio to mech or gateway to robo/stargate we must invest a large sum into creating more of those unit producing structures while zerg does not.

Was it intentional to make the race this resilient, can you explain the reasoning behind this and whether you have plans to develop the other race's to be able to punish different openings with different strategies, (e.g. a harass/scout unit for protoss and a scouting method for terran that doen't cost 300 minerals) or develop the other two races to be as resilient.

Why ultras and hydras are slower and the whole zerg army? movement concept looks like it does not fit togeather? Why is there nothing similar to the warp in Button for Zerg like a one click for injects if protoss run out of Warpins there is also an easy on screen option to get fast warp ins

I seriously have trouble to figure out if you are serious or not?

Ask Dustin if they plan to change the mechanics of the game in HotS or LotV. Warp gates etc?
