no... i mean wilderness like an open area, not enclosed like diablo... if thats why u think its like diablo 2. i use acts not for areas but time keepers so i can keep track of whats what and where it is exactly. Each act intersects with each others quests in some areas, and some acts have 2-3 towns, not 1 like diablo.. and the quests arent even the same or either is the whole idea of everything, so why does it come to mind that its like diablo 2?

it seems like diablo 2 just because "chaos and destruction" in the 2nd quest.. sounds like diablo 2 to me. Also so far what you've posted it sounds (parts of it) like act 1 in diablo. A "wanderer"? comon... make it.. unique?

Thats not always true... First of all you can just do a survey on the general posts to see what type of rpg people like, you dont have to make a crappy map and get yelled at. And if you do make a crappy map then people will think that all your maps will be crappy in past, present, and future. So making a crappy map and releasing it will make matters worse for your map making career.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:
