Cloaken: For more context - we experienced hardware failures on the authorization side of SCII right before the beta deploy was going to go live. This in turn caused the beta deploy to get pushed back, and even now seems to be causing a bit of havoc in the live service. We're working quickly to get it sorted out. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/7006342854?page=1#8 | ||

We'll get this sorted as soon as we can. - Cloaken - Community Manager So it really went more like: Community Manager: So, um...what's wrong? We want to tell people something so they don't get upset. Programmer: Do you see this peice of shit? It's smoking! That one shot sparks at John when everyone tried to connect! What do you want from me!?!?!? Tell them we are fixing iton it. And by "fixing", I mean I am calling our vendor and getting non-smoking, no sparking hardware. After that, they can blame Fed Ex. Community Manager:....I think I will just tell them we will have an update later. | ||

Programmer: You told them it was a free beta right? The kind when they don’t pay for anything. Community Manager: Well yeah, but still, we need something. Programmer: Look, it’s a massive UI overhaul with an improved back end, updated in game physics, new data collection and profile system. I am happy it even installed. Tell them we are looking into it. Just a theory, but that is kind of what it is like when stuff breaks in my office. | ||

Even if he controls only one group, he certainly doesn't just a-click, and so it doesn't really matter. And yes, I meant control group, my mistake. :D | ||

without them the game would be still as balanced as it is yet and in general those rocks are as irrelevant as rihannas latest single | ||

Depots belong to Terrans; why is there a random one outside of a Zerg/Protoss base? At least rocks have some justification for being there. Then again, I never much liked the "neutral building" trope in SC1 maps either. It just felt like a big hack. | ||

you dont use them as ramp blockers because you need a lowered depot so your units can get out. the rock is above ground so ... they cant get out. | ||

Destructable rocks can add a lot of good to gameplay if used right, which happens on a lot of community-made maps but almost never on any Blizzard maps. | ||

I just think it's really sad that they need to wait for an expansion to do this because they'd rather use rocks because it makes more sense for the lore or some other bullshit. This is something that needed to be added to every ladder map when they tried to fix it by changing it from 2 to 3 pylons per ramp to fully block. Who cares if depots are terran or w/e this is about fixing broken gameplay for competition, if you care about the lore go play campaign. | ||
