Hey guys, I've been working on a website for matchmaking and ladder for starbow. Head over to starbowarena.com and try it out. It still needs a lot of work, but the base functionality is all there. I figured it would be better to get it out there sooner than later. Many updates are coming everyday. Feel free to PM me with and feedback.


Starbow is working on a ladder system atm, and this is not it. Just heads up here. Hopefully we can cooperate to make one good ladder system. I think it is unwise to have competing ladder systems for a mod with a relative few player base (atm that is...)

maybe mods got fed up with it over the last days and are going no tolerance on this. Since some people use every opportunity to bash David Kim lately.

Well any bashing on David Kim and Dusting Browder results in warning/ban as far as I saw in past few days.

The point of Starbow is the opposite of trying to discredit Blizzard and trying to usurp SC2, instead it's supposed to coexist with SC2 and allow people to play the game they like the most. (Blizzard created the map editor and arcade system, anyhow, allowing projects like Starbow to exist)

Agreed that continually bashing Blizzard is useless and counterproductive in this thread.

Yes, a majority of people on TL (including me) are not fans of Blizzard's handling of SC2 and don't like Blizzard developers.

No, shitting on them in the Starbow thread is not going to change anything for SC2. It's pointless and might actually antagonize the SC2 team into working against this mod if they get butthurt.

Starbow devs should just hand over all balance authority to the pros who play the game.

That's a bad idea. You need people without an economic interest in balance.

Its always been like that, anything negative about Blizzard gets squashed pretty quickly. Blizzard holds a lot of power over the mods for some reason.

That never ends up well. Because they are pros they seem even more biased then some of the players or spectators.

I found out about this mod recently and I have to say I'm really impressed, for the first time in 2 years I was regretting the fact that I gave away my SC2 account lol. Thankfully Blizz made it so I can play mods for free, so no more regret. I really want to see how this game evolves considering it probably is far from perfectly balanced and strategies are being thought of all the time, it took a long time for BW to reach that perfect level of strategy but was it fun watch it get there. I really hope to see the same happen with Starbow.

About time. So much juvenile bashing of DK and DB. The mods were slackening off for a while. I'm glad they've decided to step it up. It will make SC2 General a better place. More to the point, there was no relevance in that post to this thread anyway.

People are not fed up with DK and DB without reason. But I guess it makes sense that senseless bashing doesnt result in anything constructive.

Thankfully, nope and never. Self-interested pros are the last people to take on balance.

I would have no problem if its multiple pro from different races. If everyone of them is self interested for their own race and we have reps from all three races the game might be balanced.

But you do not only want to have the game balanced. You also need designers to keep it fun and exciting to watch.

I'll be getting back to SC2 just for this. I'll watched couple of streamed games of this and it looks fabulous.

I agree too that its not to discredit Blizz, because afterall THEY were the ones who created these tools and they were created just because of this.

I wanna see DB or DK interview though where they are asked about starbow. I'm sure that they pretty much know how starbow plays out. It would be really interesting to see, how they comment on the gameplay.

That still not might lead to the result you want because no single pro knows everything about their race, in the same way that no single person knows all about starcraft (or starbow). Second, different pros might not agree which could lead to a deadlock.

I don't think there is a 100% sure way to secure design and balance. But, I think leaving it up to Pros is one of the worse ways.
