How stupid is it to have a category for "Starcraft" INSIDE of the starcraft 2 application, surely I want to play starcraft. | ||

Iccup implemented something like this for broodwar lol. You could run the iccup tool and then go to a special replay folder which contained hosted games, and it kinda "streamed" the replay to your client (with a delay of a few seconds). I beleive this is the link for it: http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/content/news/iCCup_TV._Replay_streaming.html Though i thought you would have known about that! I guess it never really did catch on that much though... In this case however, i think they are making the client application smaller, and some of the actual game data is streamed from the server during loading or something, though that just seems weird to me | ||

Even if they put something else, more than half the space will be unused imo. It's a fucking shame, because a multiplayer UI isn't supposed to feel empty. It must feel alive. | ||

It caches it, once you've downloaded it once you don't need to download it again it just acts like the normal client, it's more for people who just started so they don't need to download like the 5-10 gig up front, they can get started right away and it will stream aspects of say the campaign data, or multiplayer maps. | ||

Also, the feeling is the same. I think they should work on making B.net more flexible. At the moment, you have to fight with every window to make them move or resize. Feels like there are 15 fps or so. Also, the chat windows should be bigger somewhat and reorganized. At the end of it, I think everybody should have a little window with recommended chat rooms based on your nationality (if you are from sweeden, you will be recommended to the sweeden chat room), on your skill (there could be league based chat rooms, bronze, silver...masters, so people can find common topics and close skilled opponents). | ||

The spectating mode in that game allows you to see any player's movements down to the cursor movement so it's basically a stream minus the music/commentary. You may also want to check this out:http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/tgqnn/testing_my_free_high_quality_livestreaming/ There is also the league of legends spectator mode that they recently added with lots of cool features. Blizzard is really falling behind by not having this. | ||

They've already announced their intentions to make the custom game section more of a market place such that they can have some ongoing revenue, they're also banking on it drawing a more casual player base than just those interested in sc2 multi but... seems bad. My only hope is that with the combination of the streaming client and new custom games hopefully available in the free version I'll be able to convince my friends to play. How stupid is it to have a category for "Starcraft" INSIDE of the starcraft 2 application, surely I want to play starcraft. How is it buried? The kneejerk reactions on TL these days are sickening User was warned for this post | ||
