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 ??

Why would you make things up just to pretend that Blizzard went back on their word? o_O wtf?

They never claimed that, the expansions will work and has always worked exactly since Warcraft2, each expansion will increase the storyline with new single player missions for singplay and you get additional units in multiplay and there will be separate ladders for each expansion. It was like this in Warcraft2, Starcraft, and Warcraft3 and was announced for Starcraft2 as well.

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


Less latency or no latency? Isn't it physically impossible to remove lag between two people on the opposite side of Earth?


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 can play BW pretty much lagless over any regions.

Why would you post this now? All that's gonna happen is that protoss players will read this post, not actually read when the interview was released and assume that this is up to date.

TvP obviously isn't Terran favored anymore, all this post does is give protoss players another reason to whine about PvT, even though this interview is completely irrelevant now that terran got nerfed twice and protoss got buffed twice with the last 2 patches.

Somebody should lock this thread or delete it.

ICCUP did it for BW. I still don't see why it can't happen for SC2 :o.

A. (David Kim) For example, in the Heart of the Swarm, there is a unit called “Shredder ” that cannot be used near his own units. Therefore the Heart of the Swarm will require the player to divide the army more.


Am I the only one who thinks that this is pretty shitty game design?

I find it hard to accept the fact that David Kim actually thinks the Shredder is the way to fix Deathball Syndrome.

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.

Banelings are far from a-move units. If anything other than a Marine gets in the way, it's game over.

Plus, if they fixed the Marine to where a Zerg didn't need Banelings to kill them 90% of the time, Banelings could be nerfed as well.

Sounds like somebody looses to Protoss alot and is pretty butthurt about it.
Chill out dude. Protoss needed the buffs and Terran needed the nerfs. Everyone except for Terrans agree with that. I wonder why ...

So I assume the interview was conducted in English and translated into Korean. Then translated back to English? It kind of shows :p

I'd like to see the original answers in English because some of them just sound strange here. Like 'next patch we will be fixing Terran and Protoss'

Oh really? Fixing them, eh?

I can't even play games like TF2 with my pals in Asia without tremendous lag. I figured that a game like SC2 with centralized server would only be worse.

What are you babbling about? I never said that I disagree with any of the changes, all I said was that this interview is completely irrelevant, because the statistics are more than 2 months old and the game has changed drastically ever since.

There really isn't much of a point in posting this, it will only bring some protoss players in that complain about the numbers without looking at the actual date of the interview.

Is your reading comprehension at a level where you can understand this interview is two months old? What good was it to be posted now.

Posting this article is the same of me going back to a random date when Protoss had KA and posting an article about Protoss having a higher win rate than Terran.

Hmm after checking I'm indeed wrong. I must have misread the part about "you can play all three races in multiplayer even if you only own WoL" (obviously not phrased like that, from Blizzcon 2008 when they announced it'd be released as 3 games)... I still don't like dividing the story and campaigns like that... for multi, it's ... ok...

I think you should specifically mention in the article that the interview was made before 1.4.2 was announced

Also, why are spoiler tags everywhere? + Show Spoiler +

Of course you didn't. You implied it though, seeing as you mentioned the buffs / nerfs and that TvP isn't Terran favored any more. But you have a substantial amount of bitterness in your post regarding potential Protoss reaction to the OP. I'll assume you have a bias against Protoss because you loose to them a lot. I imagine you'd have nothing to complain about regarding Protoss if you always won.
And if i am way off the mark with all this i aopologize.

Yes that's what it is. My reading comprehension is low. *slow clap*
And while i agree with you, the whole article isn't about "Terran being OP" it's got quite a few other things in the regarding Blizzards decision making and HOTS stuff.
