Change "Beginner" difficulty level name
Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 12:46 am
This is going to sound like a really nitpicky thing, but I think this game is going to sell to a LOT of new people who have never played SC before. I am addicted to the game, in a way that has not happened for a wargame in forever. So I will be telling everyone and their brother & sisters to pick this up on the forums I frequent.
That being said - I would really like to see you change the difficulty title from "Beginner" to Normal, Medium, or something else... anything but Beginner. I've played SC from the very first installment, but didn't play much for last couple of years. So I am by no means a "beginner" which to most people = baby level. New players will feel very belittled to be playing a Beginner level and keep getting their butts handed to them if they have FOW on. Looking at the names for each game type, Beginner would normally translate into something easier than Novice or Green and that can be confusing for people.
So at least if it is called something else you won't feel like brain dead fruit bat if you lose at the normal level
Personally I would change "Beginner" to "Intermediate", and then change "Intermediate" to "Veteran".
Thus ends my dissertation on difficulty levels LOL. But please, really, do change it [:'(]
