Is it just me or most of the questions remind me of this?

What plans do you have to fix the huge ladder attrition that is effecting the starcraft 2 player base? I ask because ladder attrition will inevitably hurt e-sports

Do you see making fungal a damage-focused spell rather than a mobility-focused spell more of a balance band-aid for Wings of Liberty, or a long-term decision? If long-term, what was your reasoning?

Well to remove them you just have to remove the storyline of the Starcraft lore. Does the name Kerrigan rings a bell for you my friend? (and this is Dustins's answer)


You could just deus ex machina them like they do everything else.

"Mengsk got tired of ghosts betraying him and deleted all of the training information on how to train them, and had all of the ghosts that work for him executed/imprisoned."

iirc, that's canon already. The Dominion's been phasing out ghosts between BW and WoL to make way for the spectres, which are easier to control.

I'd love to see this addressed.

Do you feel Marine HP upgrade is necessary? How might the game improve if marine HP upgrade was removed?

In BW, Marines and Dragoons(Stalkers) required range upgrades in order to reach their powerful state. Given the current state of Wings of Liberty, have you considered tempering the offensive power of 1-2 base all-ins by giving marines/stalkers range upgrades (to get to their current range). Why or why not?

That's a damn expensive meat shield. The point is, a part of your supply gets completele useless when drained, and there is no such thing for any of the other races. Waiting to regen energy is not always an option if a terran is sieged up and shooting at your front door. I'm sure zerg can do just fine regardless, but my question is simply what the thought is behind having no energy drain and at the same time not even having an auto attack on the most common combat caster for zerg.

No, read my entire post instead of a single quote taken out of context.

will mothership ever be replaced by arbitor?

undoubtedly arbitor-like-unit will add more depth to the game, meanwhile mothership's use is limited to non-existent, it has no serious use.

terran in bw had a bio vs zerg, mech vs protoss relationship, will something like that be considered for the future of sc2?

Maybe its better to close this threat!

It transform into a "Dear Dustin, why protoss is so weak and why terran is so op?" whinning.

Was/is 200 v 200 battles being over in a matter of seconds (and usually very one sided) a balanced design choice? Or is this simply a case of players not handling the battles appropriately or design/balance being off? Do you feel it should be changed? (If so, how? - "anti-clumping"?)

Are they happy about how battles play out in SC2? Where it's almost completely focused on having the entire army in one blob and the game often ends after one big fight that lasts a short time because of the density of the units. Or will the try to change it more towards how broodwar is with more drawn out battles that are spread out all across the map.


I am also interested in an answer to something along the lines of these, so bumping it.
From a few games of bw that i watched, i have to say, i just love how everything is so spread out, battles are all over the place etc etc.
