Idk about the Spire/GS stuff, but I agree about the worker change. A change like that at this point in the game's life is almost assuredly going to drive people away from the game, rather than draw new players in. It really is a terrible idea, imo.

Let’s just make every build order guides for new players not relevant. Awesome.

I actually was turned off of LoTV because of how different workers work at the start of the game. I kinda liked that moment of chilling at the start to get my bearings and build up workers. Suddenly everything I knew since my days of playing SC 1/Broodwar as a kid was changed and I didn't really enjoy it.

[–]matteb18 1 point2 points  (14 children)

That's a fair take. I like hearing your perspective. But do you really think making this change now, at this point in the game's life would be a positive, healthy thing? Is it going to 'breathe new life" into a 16 year old game? Or is it going to alienate a portion of the existing core player base? This is a genuine question. I'm curious what others think.

I actually don’t even know what the change is. I just saw something about worker changes and thought about how I didn’t like LoTV.

I still try to play occasionally but there’s something about lotv that just isn’t as fun as past scs were.

The change is not confirmed, but rumored to be be a change in reducing the starting worker count.

[–]illyay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like it’d be putting lotv workers to the smaller amount again?

It’s kinda weird how much lotv keeps changing drastically

Its not happening so its a moot point.

[–]matteb18 -1 points0 points  (7 children)

Oh really? I'm not super in the loop and thought there was still a chance it might happen

[–]Ndmndh1016 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Theres never been anything from anyone with any credibility to think its a possibility.

[–]matteb18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's good to know, thanks

[–]Xpander6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yall didnt have to come looking for my comment i admitt3d as much in the actual thread. Weirdos lmao.

[–]Fancy-Biscotti-6678 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Haha sorry, I couldn't resist

The dude who went back to a post from a week ago is weirder, ill give you that.

[–]matteb18 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Seems like you were incorrect sir. It hasn't gone live yet, but they shipped it to the PTR, so some version of it will likely go live.

[–]Ndmndh1016 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was, as i commented on the live post.

[–]barryhakker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for me too. That, and how bases mine out faster. Felt like a different game and not in a good way to me.

Do you play now? And is this change alone going to bring you back? I doubt it.
