The survey result was a resounding "FFFFUUUUU ROCKS" and Blizz chose to spite everybody and release their new set of maps with even more rocks. EDIT: LOL, no technology for cross-region... Everybody knows that's a huge pile of crap. WC3 and BW were not beamed in from the future. Blizz should just come out and say they want the extra money, they're not fooling anybody. Cross region play via centralized B.net servers != Cross region play via distributed p2p connection. BW technology is better in terms of latency, but is nearly impossible to prevent piracy. This is especially relevant since Blizzard tied the SC2 CD to a B.net account, rather than limiting the number of installs. If they were to implement cross server play via p2p tech, parallel ladders (not requiring massive server farms) would quickly spawn (see BW), which would bypass the B.net infrastructure (and hence the 1 account per CD verification). Enforcement is probably something Blizzard can't deal with (see all piracy, anywhere). This would essentially mean that Blizzard would have given away SC2 for free. Surely you don't hold them to that standard? | ||

I don't know why browder always gets the whole shitstorm, because everytime i hear / read something from him it's very reasonable and open minded. I think it's a bit unfair that he always gets called out D: He is the one who does more interviews, the community of course, instead of being happy that he is open with us, direct the collect nerd rage against him. Well, I guess that comes from being the guy who does interviews. | ||

Blizzard also cares about their games and want to make them the best out there. Even so haters gonna hate, and anything Blizzard does will upset someone. They have their visions for SC2 and won't mess with it on a whim because of one person's input. But like Browder constantly kept saying: they accept feedback from everyone, just not everyone's feedback is important to developing the game. | ||

He said something about 2 rax and bringing all your scvs was trash and would be fixed if needed. That was back in January I believe. | ||

The income is the same, SC2 workers just mine faster. This is bad though because it flattens the income curve, so taking extra bases doesn't increase income until saturation. It's not really improved worker AI as such, its more to do with the fact that workers will return as soon as a worker arrives. Try lengthening the mining time and workers will start to glitch out. The longer workers stay at a patch the more powerful expanding becomes, because now the amount of patches you have also becomes a resource. There is a problem with double gas though. For a race like Zerg which is gas bound rather than mineral bound, it wastes a lot of supply mining gas. | ||

there's only a slim chance that they find the same amount of success as the first dota, dunno why they are focusing so much on just a mod | ||
