(3) most exciting: now you can cancel a egg and make it back into a larva with full return Isn't that cute. Don't ever punish a player for doing mistakes again, they could start crying. Alas its the "After WoW-Era" where everything has to be smooth and friendly to mentally challenged people who want to go platinum in multiplayer. | ||

If you wanted to get a maruader instead of a marine instantly just like a ling instead of a drone the same time would be lost. But remember you can have multi rax/gate with terran and toss. The exact production mechanic is different but then it needs to be to keep the races some what distinct. | ||

After reading through this post/topic I am kind of disappointed in the players. I keep reading that people are afraid to reach across the keyboard to hit a key or that they need to constantly go back to their base to inject larvae. I just got my beta key a couple of days ago and one of the first things I did was hit S-O for my overlord, nothing happened. But it was ok, I quickly got used to the new S-V I had to hit for the overlord. I believe what separates good players is their ability to adapt. Of course hotkeys are going to change (people are too afraid to move their left hand) but if you practice hitting the key then you will feel what it is like to move your hand that distance. It is hard to explain but each key has a different feel to it and you will get used to it if you practice.  Secondly, I saw many people mention that no one wants to continuously have to go back to their base and arbitrarily macro. But if you played sc1 zerg and were busy muta harassing someone, and if you didn't continually macro and advance your tech then you know you could be sitting at 1000+ minerals. Macro is hard especially when you are trying to focus your attention on micro. Combining macro and micro definitely takes a lot of APM, but that is where your practice will pay off, it will also put you in a highly favorable position to win the game. SC2 shouldn't be immune to APM requirements and practicing to get good at it. You can see fast/precise actions in any sport/e-sport out there and all of these require practice. Guitar hero you need fast hands/timing/rhythm, halo you need to move your gun and target accurately and quickly, even basketball requires immense practice and execution. With basketball you can't just go out there with a good plan and expect to win, you need to run fast, shoot accurately, and have team work. SC shouldn't be different, you need to macro and micro effectively along with a good plan to be good. So, get out there, practice hotkeying, practice checking back at your hacteries and hitting V really fast, and practice integrating micro and macro until it is seamless. The issue about the Terran mules; I think if someone has waited until they could summon 6 mules simultaneously has lost out on 6 mules of minerals over the course of time it has taken to build up enough energy for that. That is a potential weakness that an opponent could exploit. Attack them earlier when they should have had 6 mules of minerals worth of units. Of course they will eventually make up the minerals if you wait too long. Perhaps a higher energy requirement for mules is needed? So if you wait till you have 200 energy then you may only receive 3 of them. Finally, even if they do make macro ridiculous easy then I still think professional players will still prevail. Pros have excellent scouting, they are able to adjust their strategies and have enough experience to recognize what their opponent is doing. I believe the pro player's APM will be greater than the less skilled player even if macro is easy. The ability to attack with several groups of units; perhaps doing a nidus into a players main base while attacking one of their expansions at the same time. Low APM players that just like to 1a all their units won't be able to keep up. | ||

Using Terran's macro mechanic efficiently and not saving up on energy should be just as hard as using the other macro mechanics. | ||

Question: What ideas do you have for the queen tension right now, because I heard you mention that earlier? Dustin Browder: Um, we're going to wait and see on that one, like I don't have anything right now in the bucket that's necessary. I have seen queens win and lose games with transfusion, one way or the other. It's not as often as it could be, but that might be balanced on Transfusion or it might not be. Um, I've certainly seen creep tumors be used very effectively. I think there's probably more to be done out there. I'm kind of waiting to see what the community does and I've seen some high level players do some kind of silly things with creep spreading that's kind of fun. Right, so um were going to wait and see how that goes. This is exactly the same kind of langauge Dustin used right before Proton Charge was changed to Chronoboost. Dustin is on the fence and if enough people voice their opinion this will be improved. We are going to keep fighting and get Zerg the macro they deserve! | ||

You can no longer an scv from building by just moving it. You need to hit an extra key (halt production) before you can move your SCV away from the new building. | ||

-Ctrl+F11 supposed to record the video via SC2 but apparently F11 is chat log so it doesn't work. If anyone figured out how to work it, let me know. (I think you can customize hotkeys now so maybe switching them up would work.) -F5-F8(or 9) allows u to hotkey locations on map (Like in BW, just different keys) Not sure if these were mentioned. =) I'll post more when I find em! ^^ | ||
