EPTSupport for this is already in a number of other games and would at least prevent having to do complete regames when someone gets dropped from Bnet for one reason or another.

Have you considered reducing the rate at which multiple SCVs can repair buildings. Planetary fortresses are neigh impenetrable without your entire army there to attack it (leaving you ripe for a counter attack, or a flank between the PF and their army) | ||

An example would be allowing MLG to make an account and embed a stream that other players can watch though their SC2 client. Perhaps adding a spotlight and quick viewing link from the main SC2 page? Surely the increased awareness and convenience would be good for all parties involved. | ||

And if you think there is indeed a problem, what do you intend to do about it? | ||

What are your plans\hopes\ideas that you would do to improve the viewing quality for the spectator in the upcoming expansions or patches, and drive SC2 further as an spectator sport? I second this question. | ||

Are you considering the implementation and change of units that give more positional advantages based on risk-reward? Right now it feels like only the seige tank has the balanced trade off for risk reward in terms of positioning. If you feel that's not the case, what units do you think are being utilized for positional advantages with a risk reward formula? | ||

Examples would be thigns like allowing the player to specify that they want the resources counter above the minimap instead of top right Another example of an addition to the UI would be additional hotkeys to help players do things faster (such as a button that lets you drop one unit from your control unit each time you press the button) or have a separate worker and army counter on your screen? | ||

In SC2, we see that Terrans are encouraged to get a more mixed army composition than in BW -- that is, as the game progresses, the need for support units from different kinds of buildings increases. For example, against Protoss, a Mech army can add Vikings or Ghosts; against Zerg, a Bio army can add Medivacs and Tanks and even later in the game, Thors; against Terran, an Air army could use Hellions. Bio armies now need to use Starport-unit-Medivac in order to heal, which are available at the Barracks in the form of Medics in BW. Mech armies now need to use Starports in order to create Vikings, which replace the anti-armor role of the Goliath from Brood War since Thors only do extra damage to Light units. Air compositions are now more complete since Banshees fulfill the role of Air to Ground attack units. Strategies using pure Bio or pure Mech still exist of course, but in a more limiting fashion. Against Zerg, you can make pure Marines, but as the game gets longer and armies get bigger, eventually you cannot depend on your micro and so will need to add other units like Tanks. Were these changes intentional to improve Terran's ability to transition between the tech trees without making their armies weaker, as well as to make Air-based strategies viable? Note: Only include the italicized part if it's too long, thanks in advance! | ||

How would you analyze the design success or failure of the Colossus as a replacement for the Reaver? Does it create more or less interesting gameplay, tactics and viewer excitement? Do you think that the new SC2 macro mechanics should come into play more in the later stages of the game as opposed to being there from the start? MULEs, Chronoboost and Larvae Inject all contribute heavily to the early game volatility. | ||
