What is your stance on the time it takes for battles to occur? It seems that a lot of units do alot of damage with little or no micro and/or people are willing just to their units die in exchange for the amount of damage they do. Any plans for changing this?

I really like the fact that you have tried to put in/tried to make viable drop play for all three races. However, is it possible to make all three races viable "macro races"? Although playing a macro game is a solid strategy for all three races, their seems to be some races that focus more on harassment than others.

In a previous interview, you said that you didn't play much Brood War and don't understand it. I understand that SC2 is a different game, but would you be willing to try out BW to get a better perspective? What about just reading battle reports?


Lmao..?
Seriously?

Man, that suddenly explains so much to me...


This has to be the NUMBER ONE QUESTION ASKED: HAVE YOU PLAYED BW!?

follow up question if it's no

Dear Mr. Dustin Browder,

Would you consider making DLC for Starcraft 2, which a general theme on "party game" content, such as variations on the popular Left 2 Die custom map. Much of the community would be very willing to spend $8 a month to purchase DLC.

Also, can you take colossi and other boring units that we all obviously hate and replace them with units from Brood War?

Have you considering firing the devs if they don't begin a port of Starcraft 2 to the Xbox?

With regards,
Praetorial

Seems to be the general sentiment...

While i don't want to return to a Brood War style of gameplay, that revolves around the players skill pretty much being determined by his ability to work around a clunky UI and doing alot of unnessesary things manually, i can't help but notice the great effect this had in differentiating the good casual players and the actual pros. This is something i feel is lacking in a big way in SC2 and that it's starting to show. The introduction of the macro mechanics was a good first step, but a babystep, we need more of these mechanics that are harder to use perfectly and with larger impact on the gameplay if used perfectly vs acceptably vs bad.
What are your thoughts on the need for more "skill elements" to further the validity of SC2 as an esport?
Are you at all concerned that the game might be to easy at a top level and that leads to a wacky variance factor that might serve to invalidate it as an eSport?

Quit signing your posts, your name is visible less than 3 inches up on the screen.

I think DLC is an atrocious idea. Just because BNET 2.0 can't manage to have a decent UMS system doesn't mean we should have to pay for mods the community would gladly make if they could actually play them.

I dont understand all of the hype about brood war. Yes it was awesome, we can agree on that
However, I want a new game, not an old game. Personally I think colosus is fine. If you remove colosus what are you going to put in? reavers with prisms? like that isnt a huge target for range 9 vikings.

You can play brood war custom games

Having said that, if they just remade BW on the SC2 engine and had ranked ladder games of broodwar (using the SC2 engine) that would be wicked. Probably wouldnt work though with teh new UI etc (clumping, smart casting).

Might also dilute their users

Why would Dustin be in charge of SCII if he didn't play BW?

Is it because they wanted someone who wasn't a total fanboy/girl running the show?
Or was it just because he knew what the hell he was doing?

PS. DLC is a dreadful idea.

What are your thoughts about the DPS and overall cost effectiveness of the photon cannon?

I'm assuming relative experience in the field from other companies?

I don't think they gave 2 shits about fanboyism, they gave every bit of their care to $$$.
And if you're implying that shit eater has any idea what he is doing, I am going to have to go ahead and say no to that, laughing all the while. DB has no business in gaming. He's the Rob Liefield of video games.

Will there be more community involvement in your variant of the competitive scene? As in will you add more E-sports options built into Starcraft or run online tournaments or actually add user maps into the map pool?

Why can't different leagues have slightly different map pools?

Dusty,

There's a certain magic and excitement that I experience playing brood war that is a bit lackluster when playing sc2. There is a rush you get when holding of a swarm of fast one supply hydras (trolling hard) and zerglings using just a few units defensive structures and your high ground advantage. Also micro seems to be much more outcome changing in Brood war relative to sc2. I think the lack of micro dynamics in addition to a almost non-existent high ground terrain advantage really takes out the important of positioning and the outcome of each area of space controlled. So Dusty, in upcoming balance patches or HOTS will we see any changes to the space control, terrain advantage or micro aspects from the game.

Actually, we could sum up this entire thread into one question "Could you change SC2 so that it is based on Players SKILLS rather than on strategies?"
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

You guys have taken quite a bit to make this epic expansion for SC2, and I was just wondering....


Are there destructible rocks in the office at Blizzard HQ?

Also-What race do you play Dustin?

I'm not going to volunteer to spend more money, but I am willing to spend more if it means a better quality game

This is the only game I play, and honestly I have averaged down the cost of WOL probably to $0.25 per hour.
