"high ground advantage is fine where it is"

-.-||
Bronze skipping straight to Diamond in 40 games retail release. Bnet 2.0 ladder really takes it's sweet time to think about that league placement.

They're doing something right with single player when it's interesting to watch other people play through it.

So they want to try to stop the queen rush? This is the blizzard that I hate. They tried to do this in Wow too. Its stupid. They want to micromanage balance through modifying the races. Why can't they just keep units static and let the mapmakers worry about balance? As I suspected, too much of their WoW philosophy has crept into SC2.

Wow the campaign looks high quality! Not that I expected anything else, but it looks like it will be an amazing experience in and of itself. I really love that they have extra units that won't be in multiplayer. It adds to the fluff/coolness factor without giving the balance headache. But split servers has me worried. Especially since the metagame has already evolved to be completely different. Korea OP with Z and everyone else needs a buff? It makes more sense to mix the two I think than have islands of games. Regardless, whatever they decide to do I am sure will be good - I've got faith in blizz

Why can't Blizzard just imitate what ICCUP did?

*sigh*

Oh well, at least SP looks good.

High ground mechanic: They like how it is now. According to Dustin Browder, it gives a clear advantage at first and then it eventually disappears.


This really blows my mind.

How can an experienced RTS game designer think it is a good idea for strategic positioning to mean less as the game goes on? Why not just have the terrain slowly erode during the course of the game so you end up with a completely flat map at the end? And then you could have gravity slowly decrease so there is no difference between ground and air units. How about the range of units just keeps increasing as the game goes on so eventually they no longer need to move to hit each other?

If someone told me they were in to Starcraft and didn't think high ground should give an advantage in the later stages of the game I would honestly assume they'd never played anything but fastest maps.

I hope somebody gets to talk to them seriously about this soon and get some more detail on what they're thinking.
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

I think that's so ignorant and will ruin the game on the long run. Actually it was the one part where I really had alot of hope when I start reading the article (great job from TL's side btw!)

Total Agreement. Please, get somebody scan Blizzard guys' heads for tumors or fungal growth somewhere around the era of logic and common sense.
When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed extremely hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces.
