another problem i see is the poor map making and the fact its been 1.5 years and we aren't too close to good balance. i sort of expected a faster solution to it. we are almost to hots and we aren't close to balance in wol. :-/. | ||

Even though I think the marine is too powerful, even a very minor change could mess up the balance of the whole game completely.. It is such an important unit to Terran | ||

A. (Chris Sigaty) We are planning on Cross-Regional battles. We are planning to make this happen before the Heart of the Swarm. But I believe that the balancing issue will remain. Balancing a game is a very difficult job. A. (David Kim) In Korean ladder, the Terran tends to be a little stronger. But in GSL, Terrans are dominating. We are not sure why and we are continuing to analyze and resolve that problem. Unless I am mistaken that would mean NA/EU/KR could play together without having to switch servers (and hopefully without latency?). If this is what I think it is that would be amazing especially if it was before HOTS :D | ||

Isn't it physically impossible to remove lag between two people on the opposite side of Earth? | ||

Unfortunately a player with only the Wings of Liberty can only play the Wings of Liberty. WTF, they told us at the beginning that we would only need one of the three games to play the full multiplayer with all units... Are they going back on their word ?? | ||

I've started using it more too and I dunno. Its really hit and miss. I think it's useful way late game, when you're rolling your broodlords forward - you can nydus near the broodlords and reinforce/backstab. But I think it should be easier to use it aggressively.. it only takes 4 workers to prevent. | ||

Any how anyhow if what you say is true nobody would by the expansions because the only thing making us by this game is our addiction to multiplayer and the lack of LAN. How many really play just for the story  | ||

But this is the Blizzard way, you needed Brood War to play BW online, you needed Frozen Throne to play Frozen Throne online, and now you need HotS (and LotV later) to play Hots (and LotV) online. It's alright to me. Marines are very strong, and multitudes better with good players' godly micro. Nerfing it will only make Terran bio impossible at lower levels, because Banelings and Colossi are still a-move whereas splits tend to be nonexistent or suck. Ugh, I don't envy DK's job. A question: why is it we worship players who can make a control group of marines and medic kill several lurkers in BW but scream imba whenever marines kill anything in SC2? Collective chill pill everyone? | ||

That's not impossible, but it will cost a lot and I don't think Blizzard have neither the will nor the means to make that happen. | ||

You know. Nydus worm. I've started using it more too and I dunno. Its really hit and miss. I think it's useful way late game, when you're rolling your broodlords forward - you can nydus near the broodlords and reinforce/backstab. But I think it should be easier to use it aggressively.. it only takes 4 workers to prevent. not true 1 worker can prevent a nydus, just build stuff around it let the nydus finish, nothing can come out, then use cloaked banshees to kill the main nydus (and hope there is no more exit). There you go zerg army completly out of the game. Mega Vortex !! The nydus is a defensive structure ... just because you can use it offensively doesn't mean you have to (just as you don't have to use it on t2 ...). Banelings inside the nydus and every base with a nydus is marine drop save. (since they are mostly just afk drops) T2 nydus is for a t2 zerg push. It allows taking queens with transfuse with you, and for hydras when you have no creep spread to your opponent. Do a spine rush along with your army slowly pushing forward into the opponents base with your creep as support. Its not supposed to be a save way to get your army into the opponents base ... without them being able to stop it when their army is out of position. Thats overlord drop (as nydus is hard to scout compared to overlord masses gathering somewhere and also don't allow reinforcements and hurt way more then a small nydus). So yeah i get my nydus along with super far away expansions from the opponent unimportant how far away from me it is lategame. Losing a hatch and a nydus versus losing 26 drones and a queen and a hatch ... hmmm hard to decide :3. As for the marine, a fix for the marine will look like that. It will get stronger, but they will be harder to micro to get the same reward as now. Basically becoming more of an a click unit. (that would fix the terran problems at lower and the pro level, but i guess terrans and the other races will not like it.) So i would stop arguing about the marine ^.^ . And the infestor outrange the other aoe casters and can avoid them that way, a marine on the other hand just dies to aoes. I wouldn't call the marine as versatile as the infestor ^^ | ||
