All you die-hard BW guys advocating unit select caps and removing autocast don't get it- If you do that, you will kill what little chance Starbow has of becoming more than a little niche game.

You've got your limelight this week- Don't spoil it by becoming rabid fanboys and alienating your potential player base.

If you just want the same small and ever dwindling fanbase BW has had outside of Korea, then yes, please continue adding UI impediments to discourage players and artificially raise the skill ceiling.

Playing this has been incredibly fun and refreshing. I am very glad this mod has come along.

+1 to having a version where smartcast is off
also, increasing supply cap to 250 would be interesting.

It's pretty cool that Protoss has a new unit added. Any chance that terran and zerg will get one as well?

Honestly as great as BW is I think the mod plays a bit too much like it already. Going down the BW route of crippling the UI will just further pigeonhole the mod down that road.

Just because BW did things one way doesn't mean its the only way to do things. Its amazing how many people can't seem to grasp this idea.

Just going to chime in. It's quite fun so far and pretty entertaining to watch. I really enjoyed sc2bw and 6mineral 1 high yield gas maps as well. Only thing annoying me right now is inability to find games quickly. I basically settle for anyone who answers me in chat and don't get the best games there. Perhaps a loading screen that links to a website where people can find matches? Even if the game is extremely fun, if I can't find games I'll turn away quickly. It happened just recently for me when I started laddering on iccup again. Finding games even at the lowest level took several minutes of spamming. I stopped looking after a week.
edit: ya just now waiting 15minutes kind of sucks. T.T.

Why not create a new RTS with the editor, instead of rehashing the "SC2ProMod" joke. I tried to brainstorm ideas for a constantly moving bases as the main gameplay and such, but I suck with the editor. And its not like SC2 has gotten anywhere near a skill ceiling like people thought. If that were true IdrA and Ret would be the best players right now. SC2 is faster and less forgiving than BW, and in turn makes it a different viewing experience than BW. Seriously, as talented as this team and community is - at this point you are just beating a dead horse. And artificially making the game harder, (15 secs vs 30 inject time,) is like playing football with a 25 pound backpack on. Congrats its harder to play but really? Who knows maybe this will get good I'll watch a few games from the tourney.


No one disputes that SC2 has a high skill ceiling. The problem people have is with the play style of no rush 3 base deathball vs deathball that's more often than not over after 1 fight. It's a different style of game.

Then how about this, ok remove all tier1 units and see what happens.

Wat?
Why? What does that have to do with what that other guy said? He said the problem (one of the problems) is no rush 3 base deathball vs deathball. How would removing tier 1 units remedy that?

If you remove the tier 1 bread and butter units, (with some balancing,) you would probably have a more open ended outcome. Right now they only place Starbow is heading is to a slower more boring sc2. Im just throwing out suggestions, people have tried low bases, why not try no tier 1? There would be 1/5th the game ending cheese and players could expand earlier.

Really enjoying watching Starbow when it's available.

I feel like the Stalker is a bit redundant. Any thoughts on eliminating the Stalker and giving Dragoons a late game blink? Or is that too crazy . . .


Also agree that autocast should remain as it is. The game is already going to reflect better skill compared to SC2 by an enormous margin. No reason to take things too far and alienate people.

Limited unit selection is pointless to bring up, considering it's not possible in the sc2 editor. We can discuss the merits of smartcast without having to deal with scare tactics about completely reverting to bw ui, please.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

I think when the editor was announced they said they hoped people would recreate Brood War in the editor, I think if anything they're pleased they were right about the power of the editor.

Yeah, I don't really get people who think Blizzard would feel threatened by any user made mod.

And they make it into an extension mod, it could be played on every melee map ever released for SC2. Could be good too :D

Watch blizzard will back out of patch 2.1 because they realize starbow would destroy them.

Well conceptually, If you create something and constantly tell people that it is as good as it will get or at the very least must remain the way it is, meanwhile someone with limited time and resources is able to take the thing you created and make it so that people actually like it. It might very well inspire feelings of inadequacy. Does that help you understand?
