Sorry, I thought this was a good answer. Yes, there have been some changes and we hope to be able to give you details on them quite soon, as personally I love them already. But we want to make sure that the developpment team is happy with how they play out before announcing details.

While you wait, feel free to speculate and write down your own ideas of how you'd like them to work.

What does everyone think of this? What are your hopes for the new mechanics? What would you like them to look like?

They are just trying to figure out a way to evolve 1a2a3a win into 1b2b3b win to deal with the recent ZvP imbalance.

Maybe you'll get 10 minerals for every forum post you making whining about ZvP imbalance.

That would be so overpowered its not even funny. I dont think the game should reward mindless forum spamming over decision making.

Awesomely terrible, the last thing we want is for the macro mechanics to be similar to each other.

Totally called for, the whole obelisk probe speed thing seemed really forced.

lol why does everyone keep saying that. Your making the macro mechanics less similar to each other.


Here lets just speed through the difficult parts. Youll say they are both units and then I point out the Obelisk and OC are both buildings.

"They'd NEVER make such drastic changes so late in development; they are basically ready for beta!"

Wow, I guess that sentiment has been completely wrong. I wonder if Archerofaiur is now going to rightfully take his vengeance with furious pelvic thrusts to their metaphorical faces.

Seriously people have been saying that "nothing drastic will ever change cause beta around the corner" line for years and they will continue. Heck they can drastically change things during beta or even in patches and expansion packs.
