It will be recorded and posted on Saturday assuming we are not escorted out of the room by the PR team for being too aggressive and insisting that we would be much better at designing the game.



We will select some questions from this thread to ask assuming they are humorous, thought provoking etc. Balance questions are cool, especially about GomTvT.



Side Note: Anything to do with Lan, Battlenet 0.2, Chat Channels almost always leads to a "you need to talk to Chris about that" responses. Try stick to balance/design quesitons/



Go!

kasumimi Profile Blog Joined October 2007 Greece 460 Posts Last Edited: 2011-10-20 14:40:42 #8 Why did you find necessary to buff early game units while at the same adding new and stronger ones (marine marauder/roach/warpgate) in an economically focused game? Thus making early game extremely unforgiving in many situations - when scouting is remains the same like in the previous starcraft.

I know they have been talking about the thor and corruptor, but what about the colossus? Havn't heard about the colossus from you but to me it seems to be the most common unit poeple are citing as "boring".

Coal Profile Joined July 2011 Sweden 1520 Posts #10 When a stalker fires a projectil, there's a slight delay with the animation, making it harder to micro perfectly. Is this a bug or is it intended? If it's not a bug, could you please motivate why? Some guy here at TL posted a modification of the stalkers animation while firing, making it 100% easier to micro while being time efficient. In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Rachnar Profile Joined October 2010 France 1514 Posts Last Edited: 2011-10-20 14:45:18 #11 I would simply ask, why not simply let the game develop itself instead of nerfing and buffing units ?



Some were simply too good like the reaper at the beggining of the game, roaches in beta, etc ... Obvious nerfs were needed.



But i'm thinking especially of ZVP (i'm a T player, i do not take sides on this specific case), why nerf NP so quick ? Zerg players put a whole YEAR to figure how to deal with colossi (like oh wait, the infestor, can we actually USE it?), Why not let the game evolve, let Protoss players discover new things (not being irespecfull to them, but they ALWAYS do the EXACT same thing, only change recently is warp prism play) ?



Still now, new strats arise and fall as we still start to discover the game.



Edit : and as a suggestion i have for hydras that would still be in their fluff to make them useful units, give them borrowed blink ability like stalkers, they MIGHT get usefull "What if it's a triple DK ?" "Then we cry" "Prepare your handkerchief then ..."

Why no 1v1 map pool change for season 4 ?
