LoL has worse interface imo.
The only reason why LoL is more "crowded" and doesn't feel as empty is because of 5v5. But I do agree that Blizzard should start doing things like Riot Games and Valve by further promoting the game. Maybe add some DLC into the game like skins or something to get more money?
Because it really looks like money is the factor for Blizzard to keep on improving the game. DLC that won't interrupt the balance can be good for the game and for the developers.

sad but true, i am in the same situation, used to be in wc3 clanchannels for hours and hours (meanwhile often doing sth else but always idling to see whats going on) sc2 is incomparably worse in that regard.
and custom maps suck (prbbly because of the system) since there is no diversity and the ones that are there get boring rather quickly.
it's sad rly

Same. Same so much. I used to sit in channels and chill with my clan in wc3, for hours and hours...Or play some really fun customs - you would be playing exciting new custom maps you had never seen before - every day because of how good the system was compared to this sc2 garbage system.

By the way, all of our threads on the official boards are still active, though the various european version cannot hope to rival the US threads in sheer size and activity. The most recent one is at 22 pages, so we'll probably see thread #6 soon!
|
Well since they havent shown that much of HoTS besides units. I hope they are changing up a lot of stuff that needs to fix and improvements. I can only cross my fingers, but if they don't then we lose.

Incidentally, the one thing that seems to be saving the custom system from failing completely is the rising popularity of streams. A streamer can pick an unpopular map and get a bunch of viewers to play it, so there's at least one way to play some different maps.
|
Sigh, I cant bump the EU threads cuz im banned, please guys, keep this subject active as long as possible, dont give up...
|
Still no response from Blizzard? What a shame, you'd think they'd have answered by now... shows they have no improvements planned for HotS yet.
|
Its pretty basic. Either BLizzard steps and fixes it shit or SC2 will die out. The SC2 community is stagnating, it aint getting more, and hell, alot of my friends have stopped playing the game all together. Soon Sc2 will be a game that only the damn commited play, and well, there many of thoose.
Take a look at the streams, its always around the same number, when there is xx tournament.

I haven't played any Dota/PixieBattle/LoL/HoN-variants, and have no former RTS experience, so I may not know what I'm missing out on. But I don't miss any functionality in the current SC2 UI. I think it's just fine.

People like you are the reason blizzard are fucking us up and not caring because ''I GOT ALL I NEED. ITS FINE''. Go check Huskys video regarding this huge problem, where he compares Wc3 UI to Sc2 UI. Listen constructievly to him and come back and say we dont need a change???

As the creator of the widely and incredibly successful Steam store platform put it:
You can't beat piracy, they will always find a way to pirate. Instead the best approach is to create a better service then they can provide.
This implies that instead of gimping as "Blizzard/Activision" has done so well you instead provide a service that is actually worth the money you receive from your consumer base. Steam/Valve probably won't even charge for some of their future releases (attributed to the success of TF2) and they are out doing Blizzard/Activision at every avenue.
If they were more worried about providing a quality service then figuring out how to monetize everything then they just might have a chance at competing.

Yeah i can add that a majority of my friends who picked up the game dropped it pretty quickly when realizing they were completely alone in there, there is no fun in playing a game yourself unless you've got some pro competetive ambitions.

If you can spare the time, please take a look at Husky's comparison video regarding WarCraft 3's interface, and the various concept art pieces by Goblinoid, all of which can be found in the OP. It's great if SC2 works for you, but it could be so much better.

It's so sad reading this thread. It could be such a better game but it seems Blizzard just doesn't give a fuck. They've sold copies and that's all they wanted. They could promote esports so much better and it's so easy to do aswell but no no. Fucking hell.

Wait for Heart of the Swarm. They wanted to sell SC2 copies, sure, but they planned two very long term expansions to the game, which wouldn't make sense if they didn't want people to keep playing in the first place. If HotS does a lot worse than SC2, you can be sure that the moneygrubbers will feel it. Question is, of course, if the expansion WILL tank. I know for one, that I won't be picking it up, and my friend who bought the game but never played ladder probably won't either, since the story was so godawful.
