I am sorry Maverick but I don't see your effort being returned with many people playing as it is now. Then I played against friend of mine and he barely wants to play with no BW mechanics. No deathballs and funky movement of units is what kills it for him (and he is not even a regular sc2 player; I don't see how this map can ever bring in regular players). So this map can be done for hardcore BW that can play BW at anytime or it can be made for people similar to me that are not satisfied with SC2 but don't want to play BW as well (because I would be playing it already). That is why I wonder what is the purpose of this map?! I don't agree that this map needs to replicate BW completely to fix problems of SC2 of deathball play and too fast 200/200 while promoting defensive play. When I played with no BW macro options ON the game was much different then SC2, we both harassed each other, we didn't have a single 200/200 battle and we both tried to expand around the map and deny expansions. We both needed to micro or lose everything fast, there was no A-moving involved. And this is coming from a Platinum SC2 players. Something that I don't see in SC2 in platinum (which is cheese or amove deathballs). We have plenty of players here in NA. Popularity has more to do with exposure rather than the mechanics of the game itself. Enforcing SC2 mechanics on this (when it is already defaulted to it) will only turn away BW players but not really do anything for SC2-bred players. The purpose of this map has nothing to do with fixing SC2 or anything like that; it is to replicate BW on the SC2 engine. I do not mind having the choice to choose between SC2 and BW mode. In fact, I appreciate and like that Maverck includes the option to have SC2 mechanics in the game, instead of just leaving it full BW mode only. First and foremost, it is a replica of BW. If you want to play it on SC2 mode, please go right ahead (it is defaulted to SC2 mode, anyway). No one is stopping you, and it is already more fun than SC2, even with unlimited selection, MBS, and smartcasting. | ||

I don't have anything positive to say about this lol. Lets just say that if it takes longer to get a game you want this way then clicking Quick Battle or joining one of Monobattle maps people are not going to play it. | ||

If there is interest I'll figure out a date and put up a thread in SC2 Tourneys section as well. Any interest? Definitely would tune in for this. Anyone remember Friday Night Magic? How about Friday Night SC2BW when everyone gets on to find a game? Or some time sat or sun if that works better. | ||

-Make sure that HTs have to decelerate fully to a stop before casting anything. Right now, they can be moving and then instantly storm without having to stop first (they insta-stop when casting either storm or hallucination). In BW, there was this delay. Insta-cast is really strong ><. I believe casting while originally standing still is instant in BW, though. -Can not just select a unit and right click on the shield battery to regenerate shields like you can in BW. -Robotics Support Bay should be 450/450 HP/shields not 500/500. -Can not see what the corsair is hitting. -No DT death sound -Like what you did with plague, please also make ensnare 50% translucent. -Dark Swarm could use more translucency, as well. Maybe 30-40% more. -Spawning DTs seems to play a random audio from the "confirming order" list on http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/StarCraft_unit_quotations#Dark_Templar but never the actual "Adun Toridas" from BW. -No aural indication of maelstrom. There is visual, though. -A morphing in observatory and morphing in arbiter tribunal have really small selection circles, so you can't really tell they are being selected from just the circles. After it is done, selection circle is fine, though. -Wireframe for observatory and robotics support bay are identical. -Tooltip for storm needs to be changed. It says 8 seconds when it should be 4. The actual spell lasts the correct 4 seconds, though. -Maelstrom works in preventing units from casting spells and attacking and stuff, but currently the maelstromed units can queue up actions, so they will move, attack, or cast whatever command was given to them last during the maelstrom after it wears off. I do not think that is how it was in BW. | ||
