The same could be said of all the early KeSPA maps as well. The fact is, no matter how good they are, Blizzard could not have known how the game was going to develop 10 years down the line. So it is kind of unreasonable to compare the stock SC maps to modern balance. Plus, SC2 maps are preety much proof of the fact that the 10 years of mapmaking developments have helped a lot. While the beta mappool is not perfect, all of the maps are preety much leaps and bounds ahead of anything they created for the original SC. | ||

Fast DTs are a lot better now that fast ghost is less prevalent. When fast ghost was almost standard, I think DTs truly sucked ;o On April 23 2010 05:01 OrtegaPeru wrote: Forums are for saying stuff.

They have an army of playtesters and statisticians and designers and the collective sum of the data gathered throughout the beta period. And you're an silver-ranked beta-investigation hero with a keyboard. Trust me, they know better than you. Lol, I like the way you make groundless allegations against me. Trust you? Heck, I don' even know you. Anyway, back on topic, i agree that they do have an "army" of playtesters etc but the point is, blizzard may know ALOT more, but they might not know better. Consider the fact that they are: 1. A company bend on making sure the profit margins are nice and good and 2. The main people that call the shots are not necessarily players that play the game inside out. That's what the playtesters are for and us as well actually. But as head honcho they can overrule what their input is and do what they want. Think the Pointy Haired Boss from Dilbert. To further elaborate, Dilbert is a highly qualified engineer, but yet, his Boss, who is lets face it, stupid, constantly overrules him. I'm not saying that we should design the game. Or that its our game to create. I suppose I define "better" as having a well-balanced, exciting game, that allows for ingenious gameplay, and well rewarded micro, macro and strategy. If you define "better" as raking in the cash as in WoW type then yes, I agree Blizzard knows best. | ||

Neutral parasite was needed range upgrade, that will really help them. Also the fungal growth buff, that will make Infesters almost in everygame now, not sure if I enjoy that cause they are deadly, but lets see how it plays out. | ||

Did it occur to you that they took out the ones that you liked because they're basically finished? This is beta, they're going to fix the maps that people hate, not the ones that people already like. 2) Hotkey changes - You can change them yourself. Anyone whining about this is being lazy. 3) Balance issues - This is hilarious. Liquid'Drone writes an article about how none of us are in any position to have the perspective necessary to evaluate balance. Everyone in the comments agrees with him. Two days later, we have a new patch, and everyone is nerdraging over minute changes without having even played the patch yet. 4) Zerg staleness/Unholy trifecta - Blizzard obviously acknowledges these are problems. But really? Beta has only been going on for 2 months, and these problems only really came into the spotlight last month. As a project, completely revamping Zerg could take up to 6 months to design/implement/in-house test. Do you really expect Blizzard to put off patching the current Beta builds until there's a better version of the Zerg race? Agree oh so much, especially #3. | ||

That way youll force him to scan, which almost makes them worth it just for that | ||
