Just one question for the devs. Har you still thinking about the macro mechanics, because some feel incredibly... weird..? Calldown SCV is nice, Nexus and queen skins are fantastic. But from a 'spectator only' (for now) point of view, the Terran CB the mix GW/WP and the queen spells looks like just bad in fact. Not fun nor really 'rewarding' visually, it should feel the same in game probably and that is something i'm kind of worry about. So from the Devs/already hard players of SB, what do you think about it and what are your plans (if any) for that? EDIT: And I'm more a BW player than a SC2 one, but even with all it's problems, really impacting/visuals SC2 macro mechanics for each race is IMO a fun thing (especially creep spread, but...) | ||

Win-win situation for me I guess.  | ||

In it will we try out new design ideas, different balance values and other types of changes we think can contribute to a better gameplay. After all, Starbow is still in beta and some units/abilities feel undeveloped. Later on will we incorporate ideas from the test map into the real Starbow maps.We recommend all of you who are interested in following/contributing to the development of Starbow to play on the test map and give feedback to us. The first version of the test map will probably be uploaded during the weekend, and we will keep you all updated on it both here in the thread and via our Twitter @StarbowMod. Do you think that's a good idea? I don't think Starbow is popular enough for people to play a test version of it instead of the normal version, just to help possible balance decisions. And I assume that unlike Blizzard you don't have a way of recording data from everyone's test version games, so how do you expect to get that info? It will come down to what people tell you in the threads, and how do you know those people actually played around with the changes in your test version at all? I thought you once said you weren't afraid of making significant balance changes whenever you thought they were warranted. This test map idea just seems like it will slow down development for no good reason. There isn't any rank at stake and hardly any tournaments to interfere with, so why not just implement your changes into the normal version of the game. No offense please, but I think you're overestimating Starbow's current popularity if you think something like this is actually necessary. | ||

They probably have quite a few ideas that they are considering to implement. Maybe a new pathing and reworked abilities for some units for example. I think having a test map to try stuff out on and getting feedback from a few people seems like a much better idea than just putting it on every map and crossing their fingers in hopes that it will work out as intended. At least I would be quite annoyed by that. | ||

But on a side note I wouldn't mind some more 1v1 maps. also on Tau Cross bottom spawn you can get a guaranteed cannon on the expansion with only 1 pylon, seems to be a little broken. | ||

But you should keep in mind only me and Mereel ( which isnt very active anyway ) make maps for starbow. | ||

It would be nice if the Starbow Devs would add a drop down menu in the game lobby to select the game mode (1v1 or 2v2). Blizzard maps do have it, so I assume that should not be difficult to add. That would prevent 4 player maps from always being 2v2 if the host does not start the game fast enough. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/a3g4knV.jpg) | ||
