It's worthless in the workplace. I only took a few IB classes. I needed a 7 on the exam and the diploma to pass out of English 101 (got a 4, didn't bother with diploma). AP is much better.

I only needed 5s on my HL tests to skip two college classes per test, so for me it was worth it.

And yet, the topic wasn't "Are IB Diplomas Worth It?"

Relatively ancient and inactive

I never heard about IB before it was mentioned on SEN. Just AP. A looooot of hearing about AP's.

And yet, I'd say the responses are pretty relevant. Otherwise, there would be no replies at all which directly address your question.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[04:25 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
[06:15 pm]
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.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

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:
