Meh. If they aren't going to change anything that impacts multiplayer, then I hope I can still ladder without having to buy the expansion.

The campaign was boring.
I see the want to in your eyes.

I think people need to remember the mod edit and maybe mods should also change the quote since the OP got it completely wrong.

The idea is its not JUST adding new units that they want to do but to add new units brings the CHALLENGE of making sure no other units become useless because two units do the same thing.

They will figure something out I am sure so everybody relax :/

I'm with you on this one.

Collusi are the stupidest units ever.

They are made in all match ups because of how retardedly strong they are.
They make for the most uninteresting games, A+Click unit with micro ability ect.

the reaver was exciting. Even when it was in a shuttle, and scourges were chasing after it. Made for so much better gameplay.

In BW they added an air unit and a ground unit for each race. In TFT they added a hero, a ground unit and an air unit for each race. I think he's just saying they don't want to do that again, and might add two new ground units for zerg, a new air unit for terran and nothing strictly new for protoss but repurpose an existing unit like the mothership and add some new abilities.

If the metagame evolves in such a way that you NEED new units to fix whatever's wrong with the metagame, then they'll probably reconsider. Kinda like how before Brood War, mutas were fucking bullshit so every race got new units to deal with mutas.

If they aren't adding any new units then I don't want to have to pay for an expansion to continue to enjoy battle.net. The whole POINT of new expansion is to play multiplayer with new or improved units...

Most people have seen the unit variations breakdown between the races. Zerg have far less combat unit choices than the other two races, and if things stay that way for Heart of the Swarm then I don't see the point of buying it. I don't like seeing that the lead developer considers an obviously unfinished race to be in danger of overlapping unit roles. That's a terrible excuse, but then again they think that banelings overlap with lurkers so I shouldn't be surprised.

Edit: Uhhh Browder mentioned a fear of unit bloat, so please explain how he can reconcile adding new units to both expansions while avoiding this alleged bloat? I'm not convinced that new units are going to be added from what I read...

Q. New units?

Yeah.


Oh man

Q. Return of old units?

We’ll certainly have the old units [laughs].

No, the whole point of a new expansions for a whole new campaign. That's the way expansions have been since the dawn of PC gaming.

That's a nice opinion, but I disagree with it. Expansions mean different things to different people, and in case you hadn't noticed this is a multi-player discussion I couldn't care less about the continuation of the crappy story.

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.


That's not true. And while keeping the unit count small is good for simplicity, its also bad for strategy. The whole dice roll problem is because of bad unit design, not because of how many units there are.

Broodwar added 7 new units, quite a few seemingly overpowered units at that (lurker, medic, DT) and it did wonders for the game.

If it wasn't for these 7 new units we wouldn't have the bisu build, or the fantasy build, and boxers crazy micro.

Bring in the Spectre for Terran, Defiler for Zerg and Arbiter for Protoss, add those units back into the game, we'd get some interesting end game strategies for sure.

Spectre should be T3, you need a Science Facility to make one out of a tech lab barracks. Remove fusion core requirement for Battle Cruiser and make Science Facility the requirement to unlock spectres and BC's. Spectre would be like the late game ghost of SC:BW and have Lockdown ability. I'm sure other unique abilities could be invented for this unit, rather than using the abilities in campaign which wouldn't be balanced in Multiplayer.

Defiler for zerg would be just like in BW but remove consume and plague ability, that would make it too strong in SC2. A T3 caster that can use Dark Swarm, make DS have different properties from BW, maybe in the cloud all units take less damage? It would be like a guardian shield to help your ultras get to the front lines without dying immediately. Or make DS as an ability that purely counters tanks, and doesn't allow siege tanks to fire within a radius of DS. I'm sure other cool abilities could be brought in for the Defiler, like bring back Infesting buildings, allow Defilers to infest Command Centers, Nexus and even enemy hatcheries! I'm not sure what purpose these infested buildings would serve but I'm sure something could be figured out by blizzard. Maybe give defiler the queens old abilities from BW?

Arbiter would be a cool unit to see, we have the mothership but you only get one per game! I think this unit would be super cool to see return, either that or Dark Archon or Reaver but I'm not sure how that could balance out.

I'd also love to see Goliaths for Terran and lurkers for zerg, dunno about protoss tho.
