They literally came up with their ideas, made them, showed them to everyone then trashed most of them. Doesn't these guys have a crew that test units? But that's not what happened. They showed us a snapshot of the game development in progress. That's all. They did this for 3 years of SC2's development, where many, many things changed. The Thor we saw at BlizzCon 07? Nothing like what was released. Banshees at 07 were practically flying cloaked Siege Tanks; now they're single-target only. Ghosts had Marine call-down. Cobras disappeared entirely. And that's just some of the changes. If you can't stand to see a game in tumultous development, then you are invited to not watch HotS's development and just buy it (or don't) when it comes out. Otherwise, watch the process, comment on what you see, and move on. Basically, your assumption is that Blizzard made these changes because of community outcry. That's nonsense; Blizzard made these changes because Blizzard wanted to change them, and for no other reason. Blizzard did not use the community to playtest. Indeed, community outcry was probably their weakest piece of information, since most of it came from people who hadn't played it. | ||

Spider air mine? How about just give us spider mines on reapers or something so they get used more. | ||

And does the Terran really need Hellions to transform, or another type of Nuke? I want the Predator in competitive play. I don't care what it does, but... robot panthers! Hell yes! Terran could Some of these other units sound interesting, but I'll have to see them in practice first. Most of them sound pretty questionable from just the descriptions. (Edit: I'm dumb...) | ||

Like watching LoL, or the superbowl. hint: SC2 appeals to casuals, casuals exist in droves Even though SC2 is not as mechanically difficult as BW I don't really think it caters to casuals in the same way other games do. This being said what game hasn't been characterized as "for casuals" nowadays | ||

I hope it requires ~150 energy and has a pretty small radius, closer to recall than mass recall. If it was like that I think it would be a good addition. It would also add more use for having more bases if you play protoss. Hmmm... I'd be fine with this seeing as how the Nexus only has 100 energy  On April 12 2012 05:33 Nizzy wrote: Everything just seems like such a mess its unreal. Spider air mine? How about just give us spider mines on reapers or something so they get used more. I've wanted this since beta. If anyone can debunk this being a good idea, please do. | ||

If anything, why minerals? I mean seriously, what's wrong with just having consume? Not EVERYTHING has to be new, especially when a lot of the best RTS spellcaster spell ideas were used in BW. | ||

I'm guessing production rate for new zerg is too high for consumes but the mineral one isn't that bad. you could eat your opponent's minerals too, right? | ||

Not EVERYTHING has to be new, especially when a lot of the best RTS spellcaster spell ideas were used in BW. think of it like this: terrainreliance. i think that makes the mineral consume idea very interesting. | ||

This isn't CnC Browder. I still don't know why they hire someone from a lesser RTS to take over the better RTS design. | ||
