Transcript here: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=24630604051



We will be holding our next Developer Chat on Twitter on Friday, April 30, at 5:00 p.m. PDT with StarCraft II's production director and lead game designer, plus Blizzard Entertainment's senior art director. This chat session will have a general focus on StarCraft II gameplay and art.

Questions will be taken live through Twitter, so be sure to sign up for a Twitter account at https://twitter.com/signup and follow account @StarCraft in order to participate!

To submit a question for the Developer Chat, please tweet using the #BlizzChat hashtag between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. PDT on April 30. Due to the character limitation on responses within Twitter, all answers will be posted on the Battle.net forums in a dedicated thread.

You can find the last Developer Chat Q&A here: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23767157319&sid=3000

Seeing as how they're expecting gameplay questions, I think it's Lalush's chance to settle things with Dustin eh?

Bumping this, as it needs some more attention I think. Good opportunity to get some answers (last time was pretty productive).

Are there any plans to give the queen energy tension or actual decision making?

Someone should ask if they're focusing only on balancing the early game now and going to focus on the late game later, or if they feel the balance is getting close to even already.

Yeah I got a few questions I'll ask this weekend:
1. Will you remove the spawn counter down timer on the infested terrans (I think they would be used a little more for meat shields and anti air.)

Yeah, I'm not sure if we're supposed to start asking now, or wait for the go-ahead from the twitter.

I'd love to ask Samwise, "How do I be awesome?" but that's not a very good question, so I'm going to contribute to the spam of questions about micro/moving shot that I expect will be asked.

Edit: Nope, it definitely started, ask questions gogogo

Q: There has been talks about possibly changing the queen a bit, can you elaborate if that is indeed true?
A: We have no current plans to change the queen, bearing possible balance changes.

Q: Are there plans to release a chat utility to be used outside of game, similar to say how steam/xfire currently works?
A: Eventually we would like an external client for chat and other Battle.net related features, but we don't have anything firmly planned at this point.

Q: What unit do you feel is completely different from when it was first designed [in both art and gameplay] within SC2?
A: The Corruptor has changed many times in his life cycle, though he was always designed as an anti-air unit. The Mothership has had a long list of different abilities that have changed substantially over the years.


Questions they have answered so far.

Q. Currently, FPS UMS maps are viable but prevented by lag. Are there any plans to reduce Battle.net 2.0's minimum latency from 250ms?
A. In the newest patch latency network turns have been reduced to125ms latency. We'd love to see an FPS-like custom map in the beta as soon as publishing is available!

Q. Any plans to allow allies to see one another's resource and supply totals as was possible in past Blizzard RTS games? If not, why?
A. We had talked about this and felt that the additional complexity was not worth it in our current UI. It was also a tool that was largely used by players in random games to give grief to their less-skilled allies. But we don't hate the feature and could get enthusiastic about if we saw a need while playing.

Q. Any UI improvements in the works for commentators, such as the ability to hide the replay bar?
A. Yes, we're currently looking at this and will likely have some additional features when the game launches for hiding some of the interface.

Why do people keep copying and pasting questions on these? Just post a link to the answers on the forum they are being posted to.

Q. Any plans to implement a clan system that automatically adds "clan tags" in front of your ID?
A. Clans are definitely something we plan to implement in the future. No specific date has been identified yet. They will likely correspond with the first expansion or a future patch.


Quite disappointing that an important feature like this is going to take so long to get implemented :/.
