Is anyone else upset about the fact that the 1st wavers are ridiculously lucky and such? I have 2 friends that got into the beta that opt'd in a month ago and me and my stepdad (which I set his account up just so i could get a better chance at getting the key) opt in the first day they allowed people to do the opt in and we didn't get in yet.. lol

..and then I see stuff like (from official sc2 forum):

First time I saw these forums was 7 days ago, and I haven't exactly been at the edge of my seat for the last 3 years waiting for beta, I've been playing WoW and War3

Sorry guys :P

and then I check out people doing live streams saying its the first RTS they've ever played. I facepalm hard.

Now don't get me wrong, we still have a long time but Jesus.. So many people who are die hard SC fans got so unlucky D:



None.

I'm not whining. I'm just saying it sucks hardcore that a lot of the people that are actually big fans of SC didn't get in yet and quite possibly may never get in. I'm also quite humorously entertained with the fact of people trying SC2 as their first RTS. They'll never win :lol:

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
