I am sure they will enable a colour blind option if not in WoL then in HotS. They said that it was an oversight and loved the stronger colours mod for what it did. | ||

And also a certain category of mods that only change interface/visuals/sounds etc, perhaps after some official review process, should be allowed in ladder games, and for just one player not all players in the match. You should get an indication if your opponent is using some such mods, and maybe even the option to download and use it yourself, after the game or even before the match starts. Mods that change the interface outside of a match can also be made possible with an official tool instead of mpq editors. | ||

SC2 is not meant to look like some kiddie game with glowing pink and orange fairy banelings dancing all over the place That is your opinion which you are entitled to. The issue at hand here is having a CHOICE. I for one really enjoy STC mod. This change will do very little at all to stop the hackers that are harming the game. It will hurt the community and take away small customization that some people enjoy. | ||

It's just sad to see the amount of "hate" Blizzard is getting, especially from a supposedly mature community such as Teamliquid.net. I'd expect to see this kind of prejudgemental behaviour on Reddit or on minor community sites but this is rediculous, thread after thread and they won't stop because if you think about it for just five minutes, you'll come to realize that there's no way Blizzard will ever cater to everyone. Agreed. I havent seen any gaming community more pissed off over cosmetic game changes than this one. I mean did you see the patch note thread for patch 1.5? Blizzard rolls out with all these UI changes and a revamped custom game system and the first comments are "...no queen range nerf?" or "No balance changes?." Proof that its impossible to make the SCII community happy about anything. Everyone whines that the custom game system sucks and the UI is "holding people back." So Blizzard goes and changes a bunch of stuff and now a bunch of people are butthurt because they removed the ability for you to make stronger team colors or put a picture of Jaedong as your welcome screen. I mean seriously? | ||

I mean seriously? Those changes are great and they would probably get more praise if they didnt throw in little stuff like this in a somewhat sneaky fashion. It puts a unnecessary cloud over what should be a bright patch. | ||

It's suffocating the community and with it, the game. I don't even understand why game developers try to prevent modding: it increases the longevity of the game and makes players happier usually. If someone creates a stronger team colors mod to help colorblind people, that's a little bit of development Blizzard doesn't need to do themselves anymore. Generally speaking, I don't really like the trend towards no LAN, no modding, no offline play etc, we keep losing autonomy over our play experiences. | ||
