They spend their time with pointless stuff when they could be spending time for an update to include automated tournies or other features that their previous games had. I agree but it's more than just priorities. Things just need to start getting done a lot faster. I'm getting tired of seeing the competition get killer features like in-client streaming, observer modes, clans, etc. These games are built around a weaker core than Starcraft, but overcome that by delivering the features the community wants quickly. Every time Blizzard is questioned about these features they reiterate that they are on the "wish list". The "wish list" idea has kept me going but eventually you get tired of the baby steps. Even with this beta they promoted us giving feedback but never gave any indicator on how they were using it to shape the design. I see very little (if any) difference between what was shown to us a year ago at blizzcon and what we are seeing now despite the feedback the community offered (especially around improved statistics and UI design). I think the idea of "waiting to get it perfect before implementation" is outdated. We need to start getting these features out there so they can be tweaked to perfection. | ||

Oh god is that still the case? Was the main reason why I never played any custom games in SC2. | ||

They have been hyping this patch for months, yet the majority of these changes are irrelevant. Does it really take so much effort to do what they did? It is relevant if you are the type of player who cares more about custom games than Starcraft 2 1v1, which I suspect is actually the majority of people who bought the game. | ||

They can be customised to take you to various screens. The defaults are something like F1 = Campaign, F2 = Quick Match, F3 = vs AI, F4 = Co-op, F5 = Create Custom Game | ||

I actually think this is quite a major flaw. Designing an interface is all about making the user have fast access to what he/she wants. There's a reason all the apps on an iPhone is right there when you unlock it. Putting probably the most used feature so far away is a flaw... They could add like a favourite button on the startpage which you can customize to (for example) "Find 1v1 match" and the problem would be out of the way. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + My fucking MPQ files are gone, what a piss poor excuse for a design team... I could create a better layout using paint simply as a design concept then these shitheads at Blizzard. Not only is it less effective than its previous model, it removes my More GG More Skill from my goddamn score screen, which was the hugest motivator to keep playing (The quote by White-Ra). I feel like Blizzard listens to the community in one ear, and shits all the ideas out the other completely differently than we even suggested in the first place. You can argue it was to "stop hacks" but name a single hack that utilizes MPQ editor in mainstream? They just don't , this was tailored to fuck us over, and they'll probably start selling custom .dds images now I am extremely frustrated right now, this is upsetting. EDIT: NO STRONGER TEAM COLORS? WHAT THE FUCK | ||

Do me a favor and hit F2 the next time you start the game. | ||

i like the new approach, i played the beta a bit, and everyone arguing now without submitting some kind of feedback to blizzard weeks ago (it was an open beta mind you) really should not cry now. the earliest captain hindsight there is ~~ edit: apart from the mpq things, but whining about 2 or 3 clicks is really worthless. | ||
