When they scrapped the idea of a Unique Hero Thor that had no anti-air and reworked the Warhound to be an anti Mech unit instead of a smaller Thor replacement.


So...how is terran supposed to mech? Mass vikings? How do they deal with mass muta?


Thors?


Oh, so thors are still in the game?

yes Thors still exists. Minigun tried to use vikings/thors against Tempest which didn't work at all lol.
Tempest range is insanely wide.

Im quite hyped but HOTS but this new Feature that makes you see the current Workers that are mining at every Mainbuilding needs to go! Thats just more than dumb. Try it out Blizz and remove it.

If you want Sc2 to remain a competitive game, please remove it.

Its an overly simplification of the game.

All I can say is that from what I've seen, the armies look really small. SC2 suffering from supply overload.

Think it would be ok if it was just for lower leagues. Like below silver you get to see how many workers you have at your base?

Its a skill to optimally saturate your bases and to always have exacly 3 guys on gas. To actually master that is pretty fucking hard. I'm masters and can say I absolutely have not mastered that. Now every idiot can saturate their bases optimally, because it got fucking easy.

Also the fact that basically everybody would have considered that feature a cheat in Wings of Liberty should be enough reason to remove that fast....really fast.

It's not. You can avoid losing mine time when when the game stutters at the start (often happens in my bad computer). And pros will probably turn off. All the SCVs go to the same mineral, it's not a optimized SCV spreading.

EDIT: Oh, my bad. It seems that i don't know how to read. I think it ok as spectator feature. In game, i don't know.

To people complaining about "custom games" determining access, multiple points:

1) This was stated LONG before hand. Don't complain about it. You knew that you had to participate in the Arcade Beta to get an initial beta key.

2) Those gold leaguers payed 60$ just like you. They have every right to participate in the beta for a game they love. Because let's face it, balance doesn't really determine who wins at any level below GM. There will always be players who can just straight up outplay you if you aren't GM (and even GM is very wide)

3) Even masters players aren't the greatest at balancing. How many people rage when they lose in your masters games? Therefore they can't objectively balance. Masters isn't some amazing resume for being capable of balancing the game, plenty of people rage at our level too.

4) Games played =/= a reason to deserve a key... I have <1000 total games played in 1v1, but I'm masters now, even though I started in bronze.

Dude Read the OP.

This multiplayer-only test will initially be limited to a select group of pro-gamers, members of the press, Arcade contest winners, and shoutcasters.


That was also stated a long time ago, before the arcade beta even came out. Opting in isn't how you get into the initial beta wave. I don't know how people can complain about this when blizzard was VERY public about it >.> you could have had like 20+ entries into the drawing by playing the Arcade Beta every day... I don't mean to be a dick about it, but Blizzard was very public about how to get into the initial beta.

Edit again: Also:


We will soon be inviting other players to participate in the beta, so be sure you’ve opted in by clicking on the "Beta Profile Settings" under the Account Management section of your Battle.net account (or just click here). Signing up from a Battle.net account that’s actively playing StarCraft II will help your chances of being selected. Note that opting in doesn't guarantee beta access.
