Tbh, if Blizzard is really happy for Starbow to exist (as they said on the bnet forums) then they would help with some of the technical challenges starbow has, such as no matchmaking system. They won't, of course. | ||

But i didn't play enough games to say that's imba or not. Yes, but it can often be two sides of the same story: Zerg gets into a better position in the midgame than they would in BW and from there it just accelerates. | ||

I don't know, I'd expect one of the map makers from blizzard to at least look through the code and give some suggestions. And matchmaking for mods is one of those things that should have been there from the start, much like a million other editor improvements I guess. | ||

Here is the link on the thread. I believe it should be bumped up later on. | ||

They won't, of course. Not directly. But you could save whatever to a bank file and have that send to a server and back via another program. But it's something that would need time to prevent abuse and cheat. It was the first thing I thought about doing when the hype started for this mod. But then again is it actually worth it in the end? Who knows... | ||

I think this one has lots of undiscovered potential, but will be insanely hard to utilize to its fullest. Managing SV's, Matrix, and Ghosts while micro'ing the core bio units is obviously very challenging. But for those who are up for the micro challenge, the option is definitely there. I have played it some over the last couple of days, and to mee it seems pretty decent tbh. | ||

I have found the very same thing.. LOL Bio Play in TvP is INSANELY good... I have a Pressure build that I have been using against Protoss that hits early enough to damage eco and it wiped out 14 Dragoons ez pz to win the game lol | ||

Also as of late, I have just been doing builds/styles that noone else does, in order to stay a bit ahead of the potential meta or simply too figure out where potenital buffs/nerfs are needed. But I think we will get something more strategy-related up soon. | ||

Also, about the Oracle sprite for the Sentinel, I liked a lot the idea, the model is way better | ||

Blizzard won't allow it. Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that it's in the ToS now that you can't make your own matchmaking your ladder system using SC2 maps or files. Also, Blizzard does NOT want something like Starbow becoming popular. It's literally a mod that competes with SC2, and if it becomes more popular, I fear they will shut it down for the sake of the "SC2" community, which will be a farce to say the least. | ||

Never going to happen. It would be PR suicide and Blizzard isn't that insecure. I doubt they would sit it down if people started using Iccup too. If it gets more people into SC2 and interacting with Blizzard products, it's likely exactly what they want. | ||
