You can't really predict what strategies will evolve with the number of people playing this game. I love the idea of putting stuff in that they find cool. What else do you want them to do? | ||

On a side note am I the only one who has noticed how frequently they seem to qualify any discussion of the replicant with "if it even makes it into the game"? Perhaps I am a bit too cynical but it really makes me wonder what percentage of this stuff they just came up with to have something interesting to show at blizzcon. | ||

two things bugged the shit out of me. his abuse of the word "right" and that he seem to have a reverse sunglass-tan. in terms of his responses and the questions, i think kennigit did a very good job even thought dustin kind of jumped ahead and didnt let him finish the questions. also rofl about the maps. | ||

The idea is the important thing, if you want to comment, comment on the idea. | ||

I wish we could get this type of Q&A with Blizzard more often. I think it would go along way to calming the community and minimize some of the over reactions. | ||

he may sidestep a little bit but he's pretty good with giving a straight answer. you can tell by the interview that he's a smart guy and i really don't get the hate that he's are getting. blizzard is doing such a good job at balancing and they're balancing especially for the pros. i can't think of another game where they put in as much effort as they do to balance especially for top level play. the strongest and best part of dustin browders balancing philosophy is to not take uneducated opinions from the community. that takes balls and that is good for the game. #1 rule guys, dustin browder knows more about balancing than you. | ||

Really interesting how something that started out with negative feedback turn into something very definitive of Zerg. Someone mentioned they liked Dustin Browder. I agree... seemed real down to earth and gave some very straight and intelligent answers. Did he side step some stuff, yes, but at the end of the day he works for a highly secretive company and has to be careful with what he says. | ||

Why don't you just copy n paste why you typed on reddit, and then at the bottom provide a link to it... | ||

And I laughed a little bit when he said "I wish we got the bunker right quicker", and then realized it wasn't a joke. Also, how are people posting that they loved the interview, or that it was a great interview, five minutes after it was posted... It's a nineteen minute interview :/ | ||

If your stats aren't matching up with real-world evidence, you may need to re-evaluate your statistical methods. This is quite common in science. It's pure hubris if you put complete faith in your model and discount the public who can, if you listen, tell you a thing or two you may have missed. | ||

They have no idea if +1 immortal range is going to do anything or flip the game upside down, because frankly there are only so many of them and they're not all pros. Also really liked the "Anything can be dropped. Were not even in beta yet." I hope some of the idiots saying VIPER OP, ORACLE USELESS, remember that, because right now they are just focusing on basic ideas and concepts. Honestly if HoTS is realeased exactly like it is now, I will eat my foot. | ||

I didn't completely understand what you asked me to do here, but I guess I can copy the text and post it on this thread I have done it already, but here I'll do it again. "They need 3 community picked legitimate pros in their balance team that turn in their reports every week. 3, one from each race. They work a part time online as representatives. The community picks new ones after a certain period of time. We vote and chose pros then they represent for a period of time, and then, new pros will become candidates and we vote again. We can also give them some benefits for doing this for the community." I did my part, thought it was an applicable and legit idea that was good the future of e-sports... | ||
