I was wondering when they would finally put a minimap ping. All strategy games have mini map pings now. It is rather annoying in starcraft when you yell for help or etc and you need to describe the location.

I guess people wont be downloading those maps with minimap pictures anymore since you can already see it without joning. (right?)

Yes the minimap ping will be quite useful, but they had hacks for those long before Blizzard decided it was necessary for SC to have it.

Or will it have to be posted here...[/idiot]

Overall I'm not impressed. Just adds things and doesn't fix much. More bugs. Watch we get maps that crash the game from the setup with the minimap thing.

LMFAO!!!

That would be hilarious, we get a 1.12b, then a 1.12c, and so on, lol. The thing that keeps SC interesting is the bugs, biggrin.gif

Maybe we'll get updated map editors... more trigs and stuff biggrin.gif
If they do, hopefully they don't interfere with maps under production

*Dreams*

You don't know that. This is just a "taste" of the "features". They didn't say "THIS IS ALL THE 1.12 PATCH WILL DO!".

What does stacking have to do with strategy?

That's what I was saying. Stacking = no strategy!

well when is it gonna come out though?

How long is SEVERAL WEEKS? cry.gif I want to see it NOW.

lol. it usually messes up many people (hacks, editors, etc.)
some times they even mess up the game, i wouldnt be surprised if SCBW crashes more often.

Does anyone beside me realize that making another patch for Starcraft, this time with so many features, would just delay Starcraft 2 from coming out?

QUOTE(TheOddAngel)
Just make a whole new game!!!!

If they start NOW they could have all these and more in SC2... But no they r updating SC1... Anyway this looks like it will be interesting... lol... Sturdy The Crash map and it crashes you in loby... I wonder if that will happen...


Nevertheless, if they're going to delay SC2 so much, adding those features is still better than nothing...

Anyway, why do people think stacking means so much? Stacking is pure bullshit. They shouldn't have allowed stacking in the first place. Who needs defence maps with no strategy?
[right][snapback]129705[/snapback][/right]

Well, some people like defense maps, it's not like they were forced to play them. Maybe they don't care about strategy (even though that's the point of SC). It's why you see so many defense games nowadays.

Well disliking them by speculating that it will be a total failure is unreasonable. A lot of people would like Blizzard to keep things the way it is, so they're afraid of fixing something because they might do a half-assed job at it (ala the floating drone "fix" in patch 1.10) and get blamed left and right. Adding things adds new flavor into the game, enough to keep existing fans interested.

Wait until it's released, then say whether it's complete crap or not.

Okay, guys, I had a dream about this patch last night (I read about it the day before), and if you believe in illogical crap like premonitions then you'll believe me when I say that this patch is going to rule. Is it wrong to dream about StarCraft?

I've done it before...

The extended players/colors/units changing though might suck... So many maps use player 13/14, or other colors or glitches or w/e that alot of them might be screwed up... pinch.gif

EDIT: On the other hand, if the extended players and glitches and stuff etc were changed, it could be the start of even greater mapping discoveries... w00t.gif

SC is not becoming like warcraft. its still going to have same units, same strategies, same races. they're just adding some stuff. things that wont change gameplay(except maybe the map ping but thats still cool.)
ALL THEY ARE DOING IS ADDING MORE FEATURES, IT'S NOT BECOMING WARCRAFT

I think i figured out the "make rally points work better feature".

If you set a rally on a mineral they will go mine and if you set it on an enemy building they will go attack there.

Something like that. =/

thats about the stupidest thing i heard ever, and i even talked with a guy really trying to convince he was a incredible pro for knowing explosion triggers today. and he definitly outsmart you wink.gif

whatever feature you can use, you cant say it removes playability. i cant think of any situation in any game in any kind of map in any genre that supports your line of tought

but as a attempt to convince you.. lets say you have a simple cannon def against zerglings, if you stack you can form up a blockade they have to walk around (strategy) or if you cant stack you just have to build up a ugly junk of cannons that shoot everywhere (less strategy)

They only reason they updated StarEdit because they had to make it compatible with BW. I doubt any other changes to the editor will ever happen in this or any future patches.
