Yeah who gives a shit about trying to change things up with SC2. Blizzard totally should have just remade a game 1999 instead of coming up with new things. I disagree with this assumption. I think everyone was looking forward to something fresh. The reason why this seems better than SC2 to most (including myself, at least on paper) is that units like the collosus feels like a forced replacement to the reaver. A forced and poor change. HotS feels like BW with forced replacement of units for the sake of being different and the game suffered for it. | ||

But Blizzard is going to keep trying to make minor fixes to a shit game, meanwhile we have a fully functional, fun, exciting alternative. Arg, it's just so frustrating. Well Starfriend exists, if a skillfull coder(s) with help of the Starfriend developers were able to make the Starfriend launcher work set with the Starbow dependency & gameplay settings somehow, you would (in theory and with a shitload of work & magic behind it) be able to create a working ladder & matchmaking system for starbow. srry if i made grammatical errors, i'm extremely tired but i hope i got the idea across. | ||

People who like Starbow can play it and enjoy it. Hell, they can set up an ICcup matching system if they want. People who like SC2 can ladder. Its not one or the other. I like watching SC2 and I like watching games of Starbow. I like watching Dota and and Hearth Stone too. It not about better or worse, though some people will get hung up on that. | ||

I would agree with it not being about being better or worse-- some things are better, some things look as bad or worse than they were in SC2, and there are other things that look (to my eye) as if they'll regress to a more SC2-like state as the mod gets more figured out.

It looks like there might be slightly more, but I don't see the huge change that others are reporting. | ||

-Will scourge always be flying banelings? -Will defilers stay as large as they are? (larger than in BW) this particular model also looks like a lobster  compared to the SC2BW model-Is it just me, or is plague and swarm harder to see? maybe the former could use a modified fungal graphic -The reaver scarab has more of "laser" feel than a separate projectile--again, looking at the SC2BW model -Did you want spider mines to shoot across the ground like widow mines? | ||

And I'm pretty sure anything is fixable as long as the core idea is right. | ||

The death ball is still there, just in new formats. | ||

Yeah who gives a shit about trying to change things up with SC2. Blizzard totally should have just remade a game 1999 instead of coming up with new things. You're quite mistaken. What Starbow does right is that it keeps all of the things that were added in SC2 that work well and provide depth to the gameplay but also going back to some of the things Brood War did better like map control units, damage output and high ground advantages. The net result is a game that isn't Brood War nor SC2 but something that has traits of both. | ||
