Because, you know, Blizzard did the whole region thing to 'save you' from latency headaches right? /sarcasm Chances are Blizzard has been fiddling with B.net 2.0 as well. They're basically upgrading SC2's B.net to D3's, and then some. | ||

So you are saying that in sc1 it would make no difference to play with a friend in my same city than playing with a dude in another continent? Being p2p, it works exactly the opposite, my friend's computer is much much closer -> lower latency Omegalisk wrote: Also, we have no idea why Blizzard didn't allow cross-region play, only that one con was lower pings. I said it already, this -> $ When SC2 firsts came out, I asked why there was a South America region to tech support. They said 'for a better experience in gameplay and latency'. Bullshit. The South American servers were in the same place than the NA ones, in Nort America ! (they still are, as they are now merged) Omegalisk wrote: And saying Bli$$ard is like saying M$; it may or may not be accurate, but either way is sounds douchey. I have no idea what you are trying to say Its pretty obvious that all the region thing was about the money | ||

I'm all for steeper skill slope for all races, but zerg is the only race where the "macro mechanic" is time based. Terran can drop mules or scan whenevery they have a chance, of course more efficient use is better but you don't waste energy, same with chrono, you don't waste energy if you don't use it cuz you can use it multiple times at once. But with zerg if you aren't injecting every time possible then you are wasting possible larva. To raise the macro skill ceiling in SC2 all you have to do is remove MBS lololol | ||

Clearly, I mean, I spend $60 and got thousands of hours of enjoyment. Thousands of hours. Shame of them for wanting more money and not releasing a better product. I mean with other games with a similar price point I get somewhere around 12-40 hours of enjoyment...wait... | ||

I said don't try to charge me with nonsense and bullshit. I guess you don't have friends in other places than your country, because guess what, this is region locked and you can't play with them ! Or maybe all people are rich and can buy 3 copies of the game to play on most regions... I have a few buddies in Europe to play with and this retarded region locking won't let me. But there's light at the end of the tunnel, the lock will be no more after 2 years of getting people's money for no real reason | ||

I would make the energy cap lower to 50, so you can't pool as much, that's all. | ||

I feel like its a safe bet that most of these features were stuff Blizzard wanted to put in for WoL but they just ran out of time which happens a lot when making a game. | ||

Not entirely sold on unranked ladder. I feel like normal ladder will turn into a ghost town if there's a "free" option. | ||

Apart from that, looks great! +1 I'm pretty sure global play means you can choose your server without making a new account. They're not going to put everyone on the same server, you have to keep in mind connections. It's why almost every game has multiple servers even if you can switch. | ||
