Guilty Canada812 Posts April 12 2010 00:03 GMT #1 I think there is only one real answer...

im a roc United States745 Posts April 12 2010 00:10 GMT #3 I think that the lack of a high ground advantage is a game-breaking flaw. I don't, however, think that a miss chance firing uphill is the answer either. Miss chance makes the game too random and it'll just end up being like WC3. Randomness is great in a single player RPG, but in a controlled and hopefully balanced game like Starcraft in which all numbers are set you need to have damage reduction in order to keep the game consistent and interesting.

ejac United States1195 Posts April 12 2010 00:15 GMT #4 The only two answers I'd consider is the game is not balanced and no high ground. The reality is, sc2 beta is 1000 times more balanced than sc1 release was, so I am not worried about that at all. That leaves high ground.

YunhOLee Canada2470 Posts April 12 2010 00:16 GMT #5 had to go with the fact that the game isn't balanced yet at all, but no higher ground advantage is definately something to worry about.

Angryhorse Sweden387 Posts April 12 2010 00:22 GMT #7 As a specatator I find the "blurl", meaning that the units melt togheter in a massive ball of gray and shiny reflections, worrying.I've only tested about 10 games in the gold leauge so the balance & mechanic issues I will leave to you.

im a roc United States745 Posts April 12 2010 00:23 GMT #8 Another thing that I am very concerned about is the rampant spread of maphacks. If the entire ladder is dominated by the people who use hacks then the entire game will be dead. Without a fair ladder, there is really no reason for me to want to play the game.

ComradeDover Bulgaria758 Posts April 12 2010 00:41 GMT #9 The biggest problem is that it isn't released yet. Everything else that's listed is just people jumping aboard their favorite complaining bandwagon.

Sadistx Zimbabwe5568 Posts April 12 2010 01:11 GMT #10 I actually dont agree with any of those listed things. My biggest problem right now is how quick buildings die, everything else can be taken care of with good map design and by letting the good gamers develop strategies. Actually even the case of buildings dying too fast can be negated with better map design.

Not all the units have as distinct of a feel, and as such you don't get these little specific micro quirks required for each unit. For example, part of the reason TvP is so challenging and interesting (depending on who you ask) in BW is because of the mechanics required to set up vultures, tanks, and goliaths, and the different micro roles each play.

Wings United States999 Posts April 12 2010 01:42 GMT #15 i voted high ground advantage of course... but i really think that SC2 needs to bring back the FUN elements of BW. Right now, it's just big army vs big army, bigger army with better unit composition (& better storms) win. There's not enough of the crucial units that make or break a game, like those flying nexuses (shuttle + reaver), or muta micro, insane dropship plays, etc... this game is too macro-orientated for its own good. units are so weak, so numerous, and so insignificant now. Imagine all those highlights of Boxer doing his insane dropship/tank micro. What use is that? Absolutely useless. In SC2, time spent not macroing is generally = time wasted, unless you need to fight some big battle. That's all SC2 is... big battles. two vultures in your main could have been a turning point in SC1, but 2 helions in your main and you're roflcoptering because they're going to get so few kills, especially because worker production is so ez now. that said, units I DO like: baneling, reaper, colossus. these kinds of special units are key in harassment and make the game much more fun to watch and play. Big battles are boring as hell now in SC2, I don't know why, but it's just boorrringgg. Strangely, in SC1, those battles were epic as hell... hmm.

ShadowDrgn United States2497 Posts April 12 2010 02:37 GMT #17 No defender advantage, which encompasses no higher ground advantage, weak buildings, weak static defense, and no mobile area denial (besides sentries). Things like mine fields and lurkers on ramps were a big part of how BW played, and the lack of these things is driving many SC2 games into single game-deciding fights where the bigger army invariably wins, assuming equal micro.

Volkov United States71 Posts April 12 2010 02:44 GMT #18 It's more about army composition than army command. It's not entirely a bad thing, but... it is less fun to watch.

meegrean Thailand7699 Posts April 12 2010 02:50 GMT #19 no higher ground advantage is just begging for all the players to be cheesy.

yong_zerg Canada3 Posts April 12 2010 02:56 GMT #20 the game is not balance yet but still awesome game!! ^_^
