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... | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
