Blizzard have recently made threads asking the gaming community for help with their next patches for StarCraft and WarCraft.

With Patch v1.14 out, what else would you like to see fixed/changed? Please reply to this thread with a detail description of the exploit, cheat, and/or glitch and we will forward them to the appropriate people to look at. If you prefer, you can send your report to support@blizzard.com.

- MikeKN, Blizzard Senior Technical Support



Click here if you have any suggestions to offer!

Personally, I'm thrilled to see Blizzard having a go at embracing community opinion, and I hope this works out well for them, and for us.

Nothing really important comes to my mind at the monent, maybe later...

Nice thing that finally Blizzard ASKS and WE answer.

OH. HOW MATURE! Blizzard finally gives us a chance to put in input and what do you do... make us lose respect in the face of... the lords of STARCRAFT! Thax, Pharazon. Lol

My idea is that for the next patch they could do something with the multiplayer. Make it so that more serious games are available. I don't know how they would do that but that tops my list. Oops. My bad their asking about glitches and cheats.... I wish they would ask about other stuff.


I am afraid I don't know any gliches so I shouldn't have posted this in the first place. But thanks for asking blizzard.

My only request is to upgrade the damn editor with some very basic needs(namely the "hidden" AI scripts so they are no longer "hidden') as well as other things, like proper placement and voices to the extra heroes, i.e. razagal, mengsk, dugall, ect. as well as some new heroes for both the zerg and toss, like the hero D-archon Ulrezaj, a hero Devour and Lurker, things like that,just to make it so that every single unit has a proper hero counterpart, because, especially in the case of BroodWar, some of the units dont. This will help GREATLY in special UMS games, mainly RPGs and heavily modified strategys, like D&D and Civilizations. Just because the real editor is so outdated, ir REALLY needs an overhaul BAD.

does anyone agree?

Yes, a new and better map editor would be nice, one similar to WarCrap3's capabilities. But can it be done without another major upgrade to SC or something?
I just hope blizz doesn’t think this little patch will make us forget the 8 years of being almost completely ignored, a patch every 8-9 months isn’t the complete attention we‘re looking for.
Also as far as I've heard this patch is mainly to stop glitches, the over flow of hackers is still so far ignored, and in my opinion this care free nature may as well be condoning the hacking.

And last PharaZon is on the money, I’ve been demanding naked kerri since I’ve been here! ;D


I don’t wana sound completely ungrateful though, the elimination of all those glitches is a welcome change.

Games and girls, what else is there to ask for?

Well, maybe a few changes... I think there should be several options before you host a map. Like removing the fog of war at start like most RTS games now have. It's kinda a pain to keep finding things. The bs thing is kinda fun, but there should be an option to ignore alliance changes during the game.

Good no?
What about a compleat conversion of the game into an anniversary edition?

One of the BIGGEST anoyyances of trying to host a game is you have to figure out who didnt dl the fucking map. This is also a problem if you join a map, and your not sur if you dled or not.

Here is exactly what i think they should do:
1, when someone FINISHES dling, put a small "done" next to their name, so anyone who hasnt started dling wont have the percentage or the done, and everyone knows its that person.
2, if someone has already dled the same exact map before, put an automatic "done" next to their name.
Thats pretty much it, and wwould solve almost every dling confusion problem, making it virtually nonexistant. That would be nice...


no more making the wrong person rejoin. No more having the game fall apart and never get started because everyone left and no one knew who didnt dl. Yes, that would be very nice indeed...

That's hilarious. They don't even spend time to figure out glitches by themselves anymore, and they <i>finally</i> ask the people who care.... How many years after the release date? Seven? Eight?

MORE MAP EDITOR OPTIONS

Speaks for itself.

Also, I personally think Blizzard is slightly concerned about losing SC popularity. Because never in their patch comments BEFORE did they ever post something like this:

"If you've been away awhile, now is a great time to join Battle.net once again and reengage in the epic struggle between the Terrans, the Protoss, and the Zerg!"

If thats not a subliminal advertisment I dunno what is.

I agree. I kinda feel like a boy who after he finds out his girlfreind is cheating behind his back (W.O.W) then has the girl come back and say... "here's some floweres... will you forgive me"
When you know she doesn't really mean it because she still likes W.O.W....
I am so heart broken...

Ok now that the medephore is over, I think the fact they are offering to make ANOTHER patch is interesting... could they add a critter race. I would like that. : )

Especially copy pasting a beacon setup or sumthing.

Lets see, where to begin. How bout they do this for starters:

Google starcraft hacks, download them and put out "Vaccines"
which are coded to destroy them when used

Support BWLauncher.

More triggers and a UMS Friendly map editor would be nice.

Bring back ladder but find ways to keep it cleaned up

Also like techmaster said, if theyre not going to support BWLauncher, they should follow what it does and add little 100s next to people who dled the map.

They also need to be harsher with doling out punishment to hackers

Yeah. For starters, their detection and punishment for hackers are a joke. PenguinPlug has a detector for hackers, so why can't Blizzard make a similar detector that auto-bans the hacker? Also, we need a new line of defense against botters.

I've had a friend whose clan channel kept being spammed up by randomly-generated bots, of which whenever one is banned another two instantaneously pops in. Perhaps if we could ban certain ip #s from a channel, that would be great.

A feature from WC3 that I find useful is the ability to give gold or lumber from one player to another. If this can be done in starcraft using minerals and gas, it would give a new brand of strategies that include the role of team-members in tvbs, or diplomatic games.

Though, I do feel a little threatened by this whole community input thing. Surely this will make it harder for me to use my precious stash of glitches ;(.

That's true, we DO need to kill the hacks & bots becouse it kinda sucks to have ur channel spammed... But seriously, they should make a patch that allows the use of various mods! I mean, most mods require 1.07, MemGraft mods require 1.11b, and there are a couple out there that need 1.10! It's kinda depressing that Blizz made it so that you can't apply older patches if you have a newer patch... That just sucks.

-There is a bug, that changes your text color in game. If you type a _VERY_ long sentence, the text color will change in the color you are.
- Please fix the bug that cause Drones/Probes/SCV going right through units and blocks when ordered to mine minerals behind that block.
- Fix the bug that makes it possible to stack burrowable Zerg units.

--===What I just found out today===--
You can use memgraft mods using 1.14,
--===Bugs & Exploits===--
#1- Everything thedutchjelle said, well put
#2- Exploit that allows you to kill invincible units, also used to kill far away units with melee units...it's stupid
#3- Exploit used to repair Protoss ORGANIC units, also used to heal zerg with the goliath (!!??)
#4- Exploit useing the DT, High Templar, DA, and the Archon. Somehow you can merge/mutate all 4 of the guys to an Ultra Archon, (!!!!!!?????? using the BLANK wireframe, have 2500 Shields, 1000 HP, 250 Energy, and does a Maelstrom attack that does 3000 DMG (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Biggest and baddest exploit that's happened to me, I saved the game .
That's all that I think should be fixed... and t5he Ultra Archon exploit is somewhat of a super cheat as it reincarnates itself...

-Aww, I gotta take a S**T!

Dutchy, hes kidding about all of that, at least I hope he is.
Also, Dutch, your dumb

1- The text color thing was done on purpose, its part of the new patch. It doestn matter how much you type, everything comes out your color.

2- Workers have always been able to pass through stuff while mining, I think its suposed to be like that.

3- Burrowed Zerg have always been stackable, if they werent it would take up too much space and make the ability more useless then it already is.

Now, no more foolishness

Slickrick, not EVERYTHING comes out your color. Your NAME is only colored, but the text is still white. But if you type really long sentences , the text changes to.

The worker bug should be fixed because you can really like murder every block with it..

And im willing to believe the Ultra Archon cause i've to face nw.Lost in a tourney match :0 so i can use ANYTHING

--===Ultra Archon Setup===--
DL hack !LOL! (im kidding)
Make a UMS map using a couple of terran civs, a DA,DT,HT,and Archon. Take DA and MC (mind control) 1 civ, bring him to a place where there are 5 DAs, put civ in mid of "ritual" place, then type a random holy chant. (lol...) and wait 2 mins.
--===Step 2===--
after 2 mins, wierdly-colored-and-written text will appear saying: ®îtûåÎ ÃÞÞrðvêd
Then you get X-tra buttons and you merge the guys together. Then there will be a freaky thing made out of stasis... feilds... and the stasis arms will grab the DAs around it and FEED ON THEM!!!!! lol. If that doesn't work... than ur screwed... lol.

Definately get rid of backstabbing. Make it so that unallying in a current team (TvB) game is not possible. I've enough of backstabbers and their sly tactics, especially when I find out that I've wasted many good units saving their butts to get nothing but backstabbing as thanks. They wonna backstab? (Is it true that the StarCraft guide says that backstabbing is part of the game?) Backstabbers can go eff off and if it is true that the guide says backstabbing is part of the game then eff the makers of the guide. If backstabbers are not cleaned from this game they will suffer my wrath of utilizing hatchery-crash glitches and possibly drop-hacks (which I will resort too even though I effin hate hacks and hackers too).

Oh and by the way, Ultra Archon IS bullshit otherwise every prick playing StarCraft would've used your strategy and get many, many wins. Heck, I don't even see people using this so-called "zerg stack burrowed units" glitch (either they don't know how or there just ain't such a thing).

IMO blizzard really does need to fix on the hacker problem. If they are afraid to lose members due to the banning...well...its too late cause they are losing members due to hacking.

Slickrick, I am going to state this once, and once only. No one cares if this stack glitch is "part of the ability". Frankly, I say this to that -- beat it with sheer force in numbers or just use psionic storm and the whole lot that's stacked is diminished.

The zerg burrow thing sucks. Dont rid it completely, but dont let say, 5 or more zerg stack on eachother. Because I played a Zerg recently and it was werid. He had 24 lurkers in the exact same spot. 2 psi storm pwnt them, but it was still weird.

2)I would love to have a quick match button like on warcraft 3 so you can jump into a game
3)Get rid of all the glitches
4)Get rid of the hackers
5)Something new for the map editor?
6)Stop backstabbers/Comp stompers
7)Have features like those found on Penguin Plug-in built in
8)Set SomeKillz@USeasts stats to 1000-0-0
Thats about it
