Unless you're suggesting that BW needs to fixed and patched, then you are just insulting the SC2 community. The SC2 community is actually asking for and trying to fix SC2 to be the game they want it to be. I don't see the BW community trying to change and fix BW, but instead they simply tell other gamers how sad their game is for being not BW. So stop it. | ||

Just see all the threads and posts over the years about ways to improve the game. It's just quieter right now since people have given up hope that Blizzard would make the most necessary changes. | ||

I was basically just using broodwar as an example of an eSport that has a smaller scene than SC2 and yet doesn't spend all their time bitching about the game "dying" edit: Also, everyone should read the mod note, if we want to continue this thread, I suggest a new line of discussion. | ||

If you like BW/SC2 I don't really see any reason to care what else is released. I suppose I can't speak for everyone but BW/SC2 pretty much have never had any real competition. I tried pretty much every RTS under the sun leading up to the release of SC2 hoping to find some hidden gem and they all were garbage. Even War3 only held my attention for like a grand total of maybe 2 months. So, what's the concern? We have LotV in the next 2ish years and the Starcraft scene in general is pretty mature and stable. The prize pools/viewers might decline a bit over the years but there will always be events and people playing the game. | ||

Would people be interested in a project to make a casual mod version of sc2? | ||

“Where I think about it, if we ever did Warcraft IV, I would want it to somehow play off this world that’s been made over the last ten years. I would love to see that if that’s what [the RTS team] decided they wanted to do. Heroes of the Storm is dominating that group at this point, though. But I’d love to see Warcraft IV take shape around what we did with WoW. Because so much of WoW came from Warcraft. Like, we were able to take a single map and turn it into a whole expansion. Stuff like that. It’d be cool to see them take our stuff and convert it back down.” http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/11/15/blizz-on-world-of-warcrafts-procedural-future-warcraft-iv/ | ||

I don't care if a game is AAA or not, it's about as important as further reading of your posts! AAA level graphics are what bring new potential general players into the RTS genre. like when CoH1 first came out in 2006. or SC2 in 2010 or RA3 in 2008. without AAA level graphics and support the players who are getting older and leaving won't be replaced. which is precisely what is happening right now.

The tools are right there  Basically, the great Galaxy Builder or MOD Kit or whatever its called is a very nice exit strategy by Blizzard If SC2 were incredibly protfiable Blizzard would hire a bunch of people and have 1 team on RTS and 1 team on MOBA. unfortunately, that is not the case. If Blizzard's new MOBA makes major cash i suspect the "RTS Team" will all vote to just make more content for the MOBA. Gotta keep those bonus cheques coming in! Blizzard sure knows how to hire and expand its WoW team though! | ||

I think you mix up "no room for improvement" with "I don't believe in this particular idea, even if people keep yelling about Warpgates". Like a lot of ideas about how to improve the game are based on BW. I rather think that leaving BW behind and focusing on a different experience would offer way more room for improvement. | ||

A mod intended for more casual, lower stress play; it's aim would be to be something that those of a more casual mindset would enjoy playing, while still being similar to normal sc2. It would likely involve considerably less clicking; and simplifying interfaces for ease of use and management; as well as many units tweaked for different gameplay patterns (kinda like the differences between dota and lol). | ||

Dota for sure isn't as simple as that, you've got drafts, game plans vs different compositions, builds that counter other builds better, keeping track of your opponents setups. Just like the common silly myth about SC style rts being about who can get the most dudes out the quickest isn't true. edit: god damnit magpie  what a theif | ||
