Hi!

I have 1 tiny thing to ask: Could you please add timestamps to messages on battlenet? (maybe not whisper but in game lobby and in channels) It would mean a great deal and I think it’s just a tiny change.
(if this annoys someone maybe it could be an option somewhere)

Thanks,
Szinkler

Isnt that the point of Brood war … ?
On the other hand it would be nice to have the possibility to let it displayon custom maps… So the people are less frighened, when they enter a new map, a unknown map…

Today I got a replay bug on a 3vs5 top vs bottom map

Leaderboard isnt updated… for like 2 weeks

Here is the replay getting bugged around 14 minute mark, both players got destroyed before leaving the game.

hi
I heard that the structure of the replay file in SC: R has changed. Actually unpacking used in bwchart can not read replay file generated by SC: R. Do you have information on SC: R’s replay file format? I saw similar information on Team Liquid, but I was not specific.

I called professional gamers about remaster balance and said that professional gamers do not want to adjust balance, so I do not know why the results came out.It’s all right, but there’s a problem with scouts. It’s a garbage unit in the sky that has to be speeded up, watch-and-night, downgrades, ground attacks are unusable, population is 3 and prices are so high, so professional gamers can not even come out of professional leagues that can not be operated. I do not know how I did not balance the scouts. You can’t make that.Scouts are units that should never be out for four seasons, 24 hours, 365 days, until they’re updated.Scouts are units that should never be used for replacements.Scouts are units that should be recalled.Scouts are recalled.Scouts are bad, so they have to be recalled because they’re bad. Protos has no fighter strategy to intercept the ground, except the carrier. It’s only for fighting computers in single play.It’s virtually impossible to fight a scout on battlenet or use it in professional leagues.I can’t believe professional gamers refused to adjust their balance without scouts.I don’t know why they decided that when professional gamers don’t use professional leagues, practice, no one does, no scouts. All we need is a balance of the unit, and no pro gamers would have refused. Even if you refused, the scouts were sealed forever and I could not even remember.The scout unit is only balanced, but the balance adjustment is not done.The version will continue to come, but the convenience improvement is limited. And then there’s always a new build, and Star 1 doesn’t have to patch the scouts.They’re not even supposed to use the scouts, and professional gamers are irresponsible.I don’t understand why they’re using the scouts, and no one’s using the scouts, and I don’t understand why they’re making the scouts remasters. I did not understand why I did not deliver the scout to the star remaster at an important time, but I do not understand why the scout unit would have been remastered as a remaster, I’m really sad to see you get thrown away after being mastered.I think all the professional gamers who answered not to touch balance should try and ruin the scout unit in the professional league. You did. Pro gamers would have known that scout units were not available, but they forgot scout units or something.A few professional gamers who responded to the survey never use scout units, saying not to touch one of the balances.If scout units are garbage, I should have mentioned scouts, but I can’t figure out why professional gamers do that. The Zads also host the professional league. In the professional league, no one needs to update the scouts. Blizzard is hosting a professional league, and if there is a unit that is abandoned because the balance is not right, I think Blizzard should be responsible. Blizzard is not responsible for the scout unit to host the Star 1 League. Blizzard seems to be unaware of the problem of the scout in StarCraft 1. If you have money to draw two scouts, you have one carrier and the scout’s ground attack function is less than one interter. StarCraft is a major game to hit the ground. The patch is wrong and the scout air force has increased from 24 to 28, but the ground force has decreased from 12 to 8, so you should not reduce the ground force even if you do not increase the air force. It’s three people and it’s incredibly expensive. It’s a small house, a lace, a ground attack, and a basic defense force. Scouts are bullied and heavenly patients. I always wondered why scouts do not come out in professional leagues. It was not only for the ceremony, but the balance should not be touched, but the scout is not a balance problem and it is a technically defective unit, so if you do not take action, it will be a unit that you can not see for the next 10 years. It’s a hard-to-see unit on Star One.It’s obviously a look back on the history of StarCraft 1, and it’s serious how you missed the notorious unit of Scouts.It’s not like you can get out of the Star League, and you can’t get out of the Scouts, and you can’t get out of the Scouts in Blizzard and you want to take action. I should have brought one of the scout unit patches out. In Korea, no Korean professional gamers use scouts.Pro gamers who had a professional gamer conference said that balance should not be touched at the meeting only at the meeting, and Lee Young-ho, a professional gamer, later said that scouts are unusable garbage when he plays YouTube. I’m not going

I have a PTR on the public test server. Test the scout unit balance. The scout unit has already inquired, but let the scout unit that has already inquired be tested on the public test server PTR. There is a problem with the scout unit balance, so it can not be used even if a new league is created. I’ve already been inquiring about the scout unit and I have recently had a public test server PTR. Please resolve it. I don’t think I knew much about the infamous StarCraft 1 League and Scout Units.I really don’t know about Scout Units, but I think it’s irresponsible to bury them forever.I want to have a sense of responsibility for balance because Blizzard is opening up the latest league like KSL. You can open the league only if the balance is right, but if the balance is not right, you can not open the league. If the problem is not used, the unit can not be used. The league is open. There is a problem with the scout unit. I don’t think we need any more enemies because we’ve already asked.I can see that the scout unit was used in the StarCraft 1 League or not, but it’s a problem that it’s obvious that the scout unit was a problem.I never imagined that StarCraft 1 would be remastered and the scout unit would be buried on the side.The scout unit was a unit that should not be out until it was updated, but it is shocking that I buried it again even after irresponsible remaster.

Please dont ask this dev team, the pinnacle of incompetence, to rebalance scouts.

People saying “balance the scout” instead of “balance the game” have no clue of what rts balance is.

we should balance the game. Broodwar is made playably balanced by changing the maps, how long do you people expect that to really work for? Compare 2001 bw to 2006 to 2012 to 2019 and you will clearly see a trend: broodwar being figured out, the maps becoming more generic and similar to one another [fs and cb anyone??], the map pool ossifying and the builds ossifying. Savior figured out modern zvt in 2006 and its STILL the same.

Ofc a lot of pros will be against a balance patch, its in their own best interests to be against changing a game they make a lot of money dominating. The game isnt about the pros, its about us. Broodwar is dying and has gone stale. A balance patch will throw new life into the game and enable us to use a different variety of maps in order to achieve proper balance. You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Yeah I agree, this game is stale. You never EVER see cool maps that are genuinely different like Block Chain, Power Bond, and Tres Pass make it into the map pool. Can you imagine how many more people would be playing this game if Colloseum or Medusa were allowed to be played on the ladder?!

Oh don’t even get me started on the pro scene… stale builds on stale maps. Flash is still doing 1-1-1?? Just does 2-1 timing push against protoss every game? How come we don’t get maps like Outsider or Third World in the map pool of pro tournaments? How come every single game is played on CB and FS? Oh joy, Gladiator is coming back, is Python what we will play on next season?

For the love of all that is stale, Blizzard, add a new unit into the game to give Protoss a way to deal with giant tank pushes. Maybe something that can paralyze mech units? Perhaps it has a teleportation ability so that you can get zealots on top of tanks easier? Would it be too much to let it cloak nearby units as well?

I have 10 people who are willing to play this game if such a unit is added in to break up the stale, lifeless gameplay that we are forced to watch 2-3 times a week on Afreeca/Youtube.

Dude. Literally all of those maps are not only similar between one another and regular maps -mineral count, gas count, rush distance, for instance - all of them are either remakes or simply slight reimaginings of other maps. Tres pass is a remake of raid assault 2 which is a remake of raid assault 1, for instance. Powerbond…theres nothing unique about powerbond actually, you must be new to broodwar? I’ve been playing melee for 15 years straight. Its exactly like any average 3 player map. Sorry bud.

edit: blockchain is just a bad variation on outsider. ‘ringed’ maps with temporary islands have been done to death since 2009 or so. So…10 of the last 15 years ive been playing on maps that function more or less identically to blockchain. El nino, etc.

“They make a lot of money dominating”.
Show me any other terran that’s successfull other than FlaSh? Last who’s considered best terran in the world after him barely won his ASL and KSL after so many years, it cost him to bust his wrists.

“FlaSh is still doing 1-1-1”.
Do you even know that build is relatively (I mean it’s super recent compared we’re still using strats from late 2000’s) new and FlaSh invented it?

"The game isnt about the pros, its about us. ".
Where were you then after BW scene forced to transition SC2? Where the hell all you whiners were when there were only shambles left from it? Do you even understand that current pros passion, their will not to play SC2 but to stick to BW on dark post KeSPA ages when there weren’t anny official tournaments, where they barely made minimum amount of money by streaming on relatively new Afreeca platform kept this game alive and led to the launch of Remastered?

I’m not even going to quote and comment furthermore. Add new unit? You guys must be trolling. Please go back to SC2, continue destroying that game. No one will allow doing that to this masterpiece.
