modedit: It should be noted that the OP quoted the paragraph exactly except for removing 1 key word. It should read "We don't want to just add another three units.." Original thread title was "No new units in the sc2 expansions"
According a recent Dustin Browder interview, when asked about Heart of the Swarm, he replied:
"We don't want to add another three units to the game [one new unit per race] for this expansion, three units to the game for the next expansion. That would be a very bloated game for us at that point and the chances that some of those units would be duplicates of other units that already exist in the game in one form or another would be extremely high. So we're looking at the different solutions."

So what do you people think? A StarCraft II expansion that didn't add any new units? Possibly only a new campaign, new tilesets, and new battlenet/gameplay tweaks.

I bet theyre going to add heroes to the multiplayer game instead.

I agree with Browder, there would be WAY too many tech choices if a new unit per race is added in every game, it would lead to a game where the winner is not the better player, but the one that had the luck of choosing the right strategy to use.

ew. this is not warcraft dude

I can't believe that.
I was hoping so much for additional units to give more diversity to the game. Especially Zerg need more diversity in their army compositions, and not just muta/sling/bling or roach/hydra.
So if this is true i am very disappointed
|
That's fine. It doesn't even rule out the possibility of new units in Legacy of the Void, or new abilities on old units. I'd like to see them get the balance just right on the WoL units than worry about how Lurkers or a brand new unit would need to work or be balanced.

Nothing wrong with not adding new units. As expected, the expansions would just be huge patches for overall improvement of the game + story mode continuation.

Hey I'm not saying I like it, I'm just saying that thats what I think the big 'change' will be.
|
So why doesn't each race come with equal amounts of different units to begin with? I think Terran has the most variety followed by Protoss and then Zerg...
|
New abilities and upgrades are pretty much guaranteed. I trust blizzard to make the right choice.
|
So... An >>EXPANSION<< without any new units??
what horseshit is this. Dustin Browder should realize, that its a little strange to release a new pricey expansion without any new units and only make it for the new story is a strange story.
|
Not a bad idea, but they should at least give something to zerg, they feel so...uh, less expansive than the other two races. Terran has the most flexibility.

Based on what exactly? Just a hunch?
There used to be hero units in SC2, look at the old Mothership. They realized it was a stupid idea and changed it to the current form.

Pretty much what everyone expected right?

Please quote correctly before trying to hype your thread.
We don't want to just add another three units to the game for this expansion, three units to the game for the next expansion.
And although I don't have the source/link right now, in a recent interview with one of the Blizz guys I read that the upcoming expansions will bring back units that we have seen previously (as in 'in Brood War').
|
He doesn't say there won't be new units, just that there won't be one per race. I wouldn't mind all that much if T don't get a new unit, but I would mind if Z didn't get a new one or two as they have fewer units already
|
meh. They should add something. Units in its current form is kind of bland and missing "something".
|
hmm Lurker/Vessel/Dark archon would have been pretty nice...
|
I imagine they could add a unit tree so that, for example, the Ultralisk and Lurker could switch each other out.
They also could add 2 units for Z in this expo, and 1 unit for T&P in each other expo.
They also could remove a unit and replace it with a better one.
