I really hope all this story with Kerrigan's feeling guilt and raging on Mengsk will not end up like some Disney movie with her return to be a human or new "friendly compassion zergs"

Well, I guess we don't have to worry about Kerrigan feeling too weak. Even for the last few minutes, that's an instant, free, 130 supply army :O

Even the most basic spell is a yamato cannon for less than half the energy cost.

No offense, but these interviews are so incompetently done. Just rehashing of questions that have already been answered previously and you don't follow up on all the holes in Dustin Browder's arguments.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Dustin answered a variety of questions, including but not limited to:
The pathing/clumping behavior of units in StarCraft II and the decision to keep it as is.


this is the most hysterical thing


Can't agree more.

that CGI looks so sick... Already pre-ordered to get access to the beta, but this just shows it was the right decision anyway

Also wtf raptorlings :D

Skins for units
On top of new portraits and in-game logos, skins will be part of the experience and ladder reward system of Heart of the Swarm. The preview that we saw had only a picture of units skinned from campaign (mercenary marines, dark zealots, raptor zergling). The details are still being worked out on how to introduce interesting skins without introducing too much clutter to the competitive aspect of the game.

Now there needs to be a option to turn it off from the player's perspective.


I would expect that skins only appear from the perspective of the player selecting them - if A is a zerg playing against B, and he has a skin for tanks, marines, and roaches, he will see all tanks, marines, and roaches on the map as having that skin. If B only has the skin selected for zerglings, Hydras and Marauders, he will not see tank.marine.roach as having a skin, but rather only ling/hydra/marauder.

Blizzard cinematics are always jawdropping and this one was no exception.
Would love it if Vikings could actually land like that, maintaining their momentum rather than having to stop.
Ultralisk crushing a Tank was funny.
Playing Terran is like flying down a MULE drop in a marine suit, firing a Gauss Rifle

Training mode? Why not take a lesson from the moba-games and introduce an overlay that assists new players with builds in the lower leagues in competitive games/ladder games? I played a few moba-games recently, years after playing them very sparingly, and the build-suggestions allowed me to compete and not be completely useless. I can't wrap my head around why they think that adding an ugly graphic showing drone-count (removing an opportunity for pro-players to make a mistake) and an out-of-primary-environment tutorial will help new players, yet leave them completely on their own when it comes to the important part: playing a real match against a real opponent.
