Confession time! What's the one thing you hate most about SC2?

[Asfastasican]

This thread is going to be a place for everyone of you to confess about something new that's in SC2 and that you hate the most. Try your hardest to focus on features, additions, units, or perhaps abilties that typically differ from SC1 or other even other RTS games you enjoy. Keep it mind that these making these confessions won't make you guilty of not loving SC2. Making them will only allow you to cleanse your soul before this beta ends!

Here's mine. Unlimited unit selection. I really don't give a rat's ass about the other UI changes or new macro mechanics. I personally believe that unlimited unit selection changes this game in a very big way for me, and that it might tie into why some of you feel SC2 is more of a macro game. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Now its your turn!

The Thor is no longer my most hated Terran unit gameplay wise, it's the Reaper because imo it shares a role with the viking.

However, the Thor's ugly design, voice, and useless/shared gameplay mechanics with the siege tank, push it over the edge.

Also the game has horrible unit voices, but that seems obvious for most people

While I can't say the unlimited selection is definitely bad right now it is very different feeling, so I can see where you're coming from.

The thing I hate most is probably how much the Zerg don't seem to have evolved, or basically grown with new, fresh, inspiring things like the Protoss have with Warp In.

Maybe Warp In is such an awesome, interesting, fun mechanic that everything else will pale in comparison, but that's just how the Zerg seem to me.

That and the Thor. Very clearly a unit that was built on, "omg wouldn't this be neat?" and then they got a big damned hammer and mashed that square peg in to a round hole, because god dammit, that unit was going to fit one way or another.

Lack of an inventory system and RPG stats


On a more serious note, I hate the inability to cancel a game once I start it; or cancel a find-game after I hit the button. Seriously, I know they want to prevent people from dropping before a game starts, but at least let the HOST have control over that.

Haha. Well I did play that SC2 contra map where the marine gets an exp bar.

I wonder if SC2 will get as in-depth as WC3 can with its RPG elements. I do hope they will fix your canceling problem when retail hits.

It's the same glowy orange button that the countdown is in . You press it to cancel .

I dislike not being able to watch replays with buddies, THAT'S what I dislike!

Mech being not good enough.

For me its the lack of replay integration with Bnet. I would love to be able to see them with friends.

All good confessions so far, but this one struck a nerve.

It's probably not very classy to compare B-net 2.0 with a game in another genre, but I really do think that a number of features in HoN could be implemented into B-net 2.0.

In Hon, you can retrieve match stats via punching in a match ID # while in game and then you can go one step further and download that specific game's replay from within the game. You can also click a "Compatize" (sp?) button so that old data from an old patch and be downloaded and implemented in order for you to watch that old replay without any mess. We should be able to watch all old replays once retail hits though, so thats covered. You also have a chat room system and a solid lobby system that we haven't really seen in SC2 beta yet.

Another big thing is the ability to reconnect to games. I understand there are major differences between the MOBA and RTS genres, but I think the ability to be able to reconnect after a crash or d/c is very possible and it should be implemented. In a 1v1, you would probably already be toast by the time you reconnect, but it could make a big difference in a 2v2 or larger team game.

Also, you can log into the HoN website to access any number of persistent player or playerbase stats, including how often certain items and heroes are used. I think B-net 2.0 displaying build orders and other race statistics is pretty good as it is right now. Still those are some things to think about.

I might make a thread about things B-net 2.0 could have that other games like HoN already have in a week or two. We'll see.
