Attacking ain't viable at all anymore.I think making upgrades more of an investment is a good idea. In BW, they were never to be taken lightly, and in SC2 they are such a big deal that they easily move your units from tier 1.5->2, so they shouldn't be much easier there. | ||

At this pace they're not going to get it done in time as they seem to believe their basic template is 'just fine'. It isn't. The game is pretty balanced already i don't know what your talking about. And how do you know the beta will last 3 or 4 more months. The beta will last until the game is perfect balanced and they decide to release it. | ||

Blizzard usually tries to keep stuff simple for the players^^ In principle, it would definitely be a great method to test two changes in real time (since they probably won't be taking back patch changes often). | ||

At this pace they're not going to get it done in time as they seem to believe their basic template is 'just fine'. It isn't. Obscure concept? It's a basic scientific principle that you don't change too many things at once. The reason is, if you do, you won't know which of those changes is resulting in whatever is going wrong now. So, you change only one or a few things, identify which changes were good, and only after you are happy with it do you change more things. In a true scientific experiment you only change one variable at a time. | ||

At this pace they're not going to get it done in time as they seem to believe their basic template is 'just fine'. It isn't. 1) Beta will last as long as at needs to, period. 6+ months is totally reasonable for Blizzard if the results aren't satisfying. 2) What elements do you think need a sweeping overhaul? The only one I can really think of that's in any way drastic is Zerg unit diversity, and Browder has acknowledged this issue in interviews. Unit collision size being increased is a minor fix that can help improve visibility and ease those who keep whining about "auto-surround" (even though that's a gross misrepresentation of what it is), and high-ground advantage needs to be tweaked a little. Other than that, I can't see anything other than balance changes and implementation of B.net 2.0 features and netcode that need major fixing. | ||

Also you must have never fought a thor-backed army if you don't think infestors are useful  Even NP'ing a single thor can dramatically change a battle's outcomeThus it should be a big thing to manage doing so. It should not be: "take 4 infestors and you will for sure get one of his Thors..." We will see how this plays out but probably Blizzard is aiming for it to require micro and tactial play to accomplish this feat and with it turning the battle! | ||

Now that nydus is less appealing as an offensive drop maybe that upgrade for OL's will be more used. | ||

If they're immune, zerg ground army would have no chance vs collosus. Does anyone know how the perma-parasite works now? Is it still a tongue graphic from the infestor? can the infestor move after casting? etc etc | ||

U have 3 drop ships going to zerg base. Zerg knows because of scout or borrowed units. He sends 3 infestor to MC all 3 of ur drop ship. Since time is unlimited and u are likely to be inside zerg's base. That's going to hold ~10 supply unit for each un-upgraded ship. And forever?!?! | ||
