So that means they are happy with design on all new units and abilities? That won't end well. I guess the only thing left to see is if there will be any major changes to existing units. At least Christmas release seems out of the question. | ||

He is saying that they need to step back and watch for a bit and let us really iron out our use and defense against all the new units and strats and let the metagame settle a little. Then they can better evaluate what changes to make. He did not imply at all that they are happy with how everything is now. Just that rapid change does not properly indicate to them how the balance is. | ||

Just that rapid change does not properly indicate to them how the balance is. And it's very gratifying that they're doing that. That they recognize that HotS's metagame is still somewhat unstable with all of the many changes they've made in about a month. So to evaluate whether the changes are having the desired effects, they need to slow down and watch things and see how they shake out. It's good to see Blizzard really taking their time here and not just having knee-jerk reactions to stuff (not to say that the Warhound didn't need to be killed ASAP, mind you). It's better to get HotS right than to get it fast. This is promising for the further development of the game. | ||

The game is never going to develop a stable meta when you keep making changes every couple months. | ||

Everything that's wrong with the design will become apparent on release since that's when they all switch. | ||

At the moment we're basically playing WoL, except TvT has turned into reaper wars, mech in TvZ is much harder thanks to vipers and bio in TvP much harder thanks to oracles. This is disheartening, I thought terran would see some changes next. | ||

This is disheartening, I thought terran would see some changes next. TvZ is also much harder for zerg because of BH mid- and lategame and especially early to midgame widow mines. TvP is also harder for toss because of widow mines oneshotting the expensive oracles etc. pp. i think the overall skill ceilling is higher in HOTS than in WoL for all races which is a very nice thing. | ||

Here are some of my suggestions: - Watch replays w/ in game friends - Watch Tournaments in Sc2 in the main menu - Vods/games of the week or month - Top 10 plays month/week - Players/pros can send in games with sick matches,funny engagements something in that matter - Better social contact built in "skype" - Shop, example: I personally didnt have the founds when Sc2 first came out just enough to buy the game, really wanted the collectors edition really liked the the Thor "skin", how do i get one? by buying a whole new copy of WOL, could be nice if you just could buy the skin.. - <--- What he said | ||

Knowing Blizzard, it would take way longer than 2 months to implement any of this. Replays with friends is already confirmed to be in the works. I'm fine with no in-client streams. A big tournament ad in the client with a link to the stream that opens up in a separate browser is fine. Different tournaments use different streaming sites anyways, so it would be a hassle to accommodate them all. Downloading featured replays in-client is possible since it has already been done a while back for some Blizzcon 2010 replays iirc. I think having a public list of replay-viewers using the replays with friends feature would be able to achieve something similar since exciting replays would garner a lot of spectators. Dunno what exactly a "built in Skype" means. There is obviously a friends list and chat in SC2. SC2 also has voice chat, but no one uses it, perhaps because it doesn't seem to work (at least for me). | ||
