Do not beg for keys, offer to trade things for keys, or offer to buy keys in this thread. |
That's the beautiful thing of saying "I'm going to set out to sell 3 games for money, within years apart of each other, even though BW was going strong, even 10 years later, due to being balanced." When you see things like battle.net where you can't even watch replays with anyone, you start to wonder what their incentive really is to not hold back on things they could do/should have. You can already fight broodlords with vortex. Even if it is bad design, it's hard to get excited about the ability to now spend way more resources in an attempt to defeat what you already could have, with less.
So, I have the tempest vs mech? Great, a unit that seems to be inferior to a unit that was removed from the game, when it comes to dealing with that. The oracle better be the most amazing unit ever.... The only thing that really seemed to be spawned out of necessity, rather than trying to fulfill the need of having an excuse for people to spend x amount on a game, is the mothercore. Hopefully the mothercore and the pylon changes stop p vs p from being non stop all-ins.
It's kinda silly to have a perfectly balanced game yet already be set on coming up with a new game to replace that. I like the idea of spicing something up and adding new options, but the results probably aren't too great when you feel forced to make a certain amount of units. If the decisions aren't spawned out of concerns with balance, then it's probably going to make it that much harder to balance.

Terrans only making one unit is retarded.

I'm sure the warhound will get nerfed rather quickly. It's probably the equivalent of the early stage roach from WoL. What was it, one supply and two armor or something else ridiculous? It'll get fixed... it'll go from being invincible to viable. Hopefully.
Let's just hope that the warhound can find a good niche after only one or two patches, and that it doesn't become the "bunker" of HotS.

Are they beta keys/ account unlocks given out constantly or are they doing waves of invites? Thanks for answering

I got a feeling thats what were in for.... 'Patch 42: warhound build time now increased from 55 to 56 in game blizzard seconds.'

...but if it's about to die, you can salvage it for 100% of all the resources used to create the warhound.
Wait no, 90% of the resources.
Wait no, 80% of the resources.
Wait no, 110% of the resources.
Wait no, you win the game if you salvage 20 warhounds before the 15 minute mark.

anyone noticed that the sounds of the new untis are surprisingly good? at least in comparison to their wol counterpart
they listen after all...

BE CAREFUL, I just got a phishing email, I recognized "blizzard entertaiment" and was suspicious, so please,please, don't click any links that are from blizzard, CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT to see if you have the beta. that is all

Agreed, they feel like they have to adjust the game because they are launching 3 versions of it. Brood War was a much more single player focused game and they just decided to fix up the multi with it.

If you have 20 warhounds before the 15 minute mark you've already won.

pretty pissed off im one of the retards that fell for blizzards "you could win a key if you rate games" in the arcade beta. spend fuckin hours rating tons of games and putting my honest opinions on them, unlike most that put "awesome game" and thats it. ive read so many threads about how people got keys and didnt do ANYTHING to get them and no these arent pros or casters. the only game i play is starcraft and figured people like me that legitimately help would get recognized but obviously not! if i dont get a key by the end of the beta, up on ebay WOL goes
