So in a balance talk when they say no one is allowed to talk about what have been said but we will reveal later all the positive stuff the players said, i only conclude that they won't release anything negative that have been said about their game. Can positive be exchanged for "constructive"? | ||

Not releasing "negative" things is stupid. Not releasing "unconstructive" things is...good. Thanks Heosat. | ||

If anyone needs a good example of how this culture is illustrated, does anyone remember Korean Air's atrocious airline crash record? Those crashes happened frequently because the co-pilot's job was to correct the Captain if something went wrong, but in almost all of these crashes, the co-pilot just shut up to avoid offending the Captain. It stopped happening when the airline had a cultural overhaul and today, people have pretty much forgotten about Korean Air's 80s-90s transgressions. So guys, don't be too surprised or unhappy if the negative feedback is redacted in the official transcript. Because as much as Blizzard is a 'western' company per se, that interview is for the Korean audience. | ||

Thanks Heosat. you sir, are right! i'd be interested to see what the players had to say about the negative in sc2 that we know that some of us weren't the only ones that might've though, "oh hey this here is pretty retarded, the idea of it was great, but you went about it all wrong" and stuff like that On July 05 2010 10:25 kzn wrote: BW progamers wouldn't have much of an idea how to help balance SC2 - if you brought them in from the very start they could have looked at a new unit and been like "well this will be good against X, bad against Y, balance issues A B and C" but Blizzard can't make huge changes, so its a much better idea to be asking the best players of the game thats actually in question what they can fix and what needs work. i'm gonna say you're wrong. people that played bw jumped into sc2 and got used to it pretty easily, at least i did and a few of my friends. although i do agree that talking to players that are the best in sc2 through the beta is a good idea, but i think it's silly they just asked any progamer who doesn't have experience in rts | ||

Would be alarmingly late if this is the first time they did it. Nah, I remembered a couple of years ago, they invited each pro team to send 1 or 2 players to go to a convention to try out SC2. It was one of the first videos on YouTube with top tier players such as bisu, sAviOr, NaDa, etc playing the game. | ||

You don't ask people to balance a game they've never/barely played, no matter how good they are at another game. | ||

But then it would put the few people, who've been there, to some advantage about what to expect from future editions, hence also what playing styles to develop. I think eventually the whole information should be made public, it won't even work to attempt to hide it for too long.they will release an official transcript of the reunion but only the positive points and the stuff that the players liked will be displayed ... | ||
