David Kim talking about "looking into new units in a balance patch". Meaning they don't need big expansions to do that, but no plans atm.

Still exciting.

Source?

Current multiplayer panel; you can only watch it with a virtual ticket.

Also they're mentioning that they explored the Goliath for SC2 and a new Z unit.


more from current multiplayer panel for everyone watching the WCS stream not wanting to switch threads
So why did Goliath not work out?
- Because it overlaps with Thor
- felt like mech marine
- were thinking about adding more anti-ground, felt more like mech marine
- added fast attacks, didn't feel like goliath anymore

So thats why that they decided instead of putting goliath in for the sake of having something new, they decided to overhaul the Cyclone. The results from exploring the goliath were put into current T unit changes, though.

now for Z


- they had a "15 unit max rule", restriction: "not going to put >15 units on any race"
- not because it's a magic number, it was just a good restraint to have to create a clean set of units with clean rules
- was kinda abandoned, but the spirit of this rule was kept(clear units)

e.g. zergling = fast, fragile, small; roach = tanky, short range; hydra = long range, all round etc

- they were thinking about a more tanky unit that spawns in group of three
- were used pretty much like zerglings
- created confusion about wheter to go ling/roach/new unit; counter-tech options weren't clear
- felt really muddy and so they didn't like it and moved on

- they've done this process for all 3 races. it didn't really work out for them; but they still got something out of it as they used the results for current balance patch
- changes to current units "feel like new units" according to them

- "that said, that doesn't mean we're never going to add new units to the game, this is just the current situation"

now david kim will talk about the future and then Q&A


not much for the future apparently.
- they will release patch in "a couple of weeks" so much testing is needed
- they will also explore if there are big changes needed or just smaller ones; so they're not set on the current direction but will still allow bigger changes to come.


Q&A with giveaways now



Q1: just feedback: ultralisk cripples terran so much, friends can't keep up, happy to see mech being more viable.
that guy won a collector's edition. yay.

somewhat A: they will roll out changes to ultralisk soon so that should help.

Q2: Cyclone gonna have a different attack for air/ground, what about priority for colossus?
A: air is ability, ground is normal attack. against colossus, if you have ability, just the ability. if not, not. [wow...]

Q3: different race MMRs: what has this done internally, was it a mistake to not have fresh MMR for the other races?
A: top on the list to talk about, they were surprised at the graph on reddit. top comment made sense. we will look into it.


man these questions are useless

Q4: more dynamic multiplayer maps with larva etc?
A: "So you're saying... you want to see this on the ladder?" LOL david ... "we actually tested this, it was too restricting for strategies"

I don't think there will be any useful questions. Let's watch the games instead.

so if Zest had killed the Warpprism, he could have transferred the last probe to the island to force a draw with a pylon.. or am I missing something?

Can't zest bring his probe back and mine? They build an assimilator in the island and force a draw.

I like how killing the warp prism would have secured Zest a draw.
