He was confused about what Kennigit meant about NP being the problem (I was confused too). Isn't the "problem" the giant Protoss deathball that kills 20 BLs with one archon toilet and *not* the Zerg attempting to counter it with NP? I think that's why it was such a confusing moment. | ||

David Kim made it clear that the big picture was that the thor build was "hurting esports!" And we know team liquid hates things that hurt esports so everyone here should be thrilled that they eliminated that esports hurting strategy from the game. | ||

Ok that makes sense. Even I was under the impression that the archon toilet is the problem. | ||

Questions like 'Why does the bnet interface suck so much? Did you hire a chimpanzee to do the feature specifications?' Otherwise i'm happy to see Blizzard doing something to break up the balls! My main complain about SC2 compared to BW is that the lategame is not as interesting (to watch, mostly) | ||

I mean, the reasoning is sound for everything and I thought it would be, but HEARING it is some important for me because I feel its not just some crapshoot or just random development for tiers of play, instead they actually are clearly considering different playstyles and want to keep racial differences in the game. I'm again excited for HoTS. Also YOU USED ONE OF MY QUESTIONS! (I'm pretty sure) I may have D: I did look through the thread | ||

My main complain about SC2 compared to BW is that the lategame is not as interesting (to watch, mostly)That was mostly covered in the Gamespot Esports one by chobopeon when he's talking to Chris Sigaty. Decent interviews, It's so tough to watch them though because I have so many follow-up questions and they don't give interviews often, most pressingly: what does the tempest give that the carrier doesn't? Is the 22 range just a ridiculous war of range escalation and to what end? | ||

(could be wrong) also, kerrigan's ass is quite distracting I mentioned crank's recent games casually after we stopped filming, he said that there's no doubt they can be useful in certain situations on certain maps, but they haven't seen anything that suggests they have viability on a wider scale yet | ||

He just says, yes community is right, it is just a new infrastructure and we have to build everything from the ground up though. | ||

DotA is not really a fair comparison, because you only choose a finite number of heroes, you're limiting the complexity you might face in a single game. It would be like choosing what units you would want to be able to build in a game and letting the opponent know that in advance, so DotA is not really the best comparison. Surely you realize that if Blizzard keeps adding units, and by the time of Void every race has 50 distinct units, it becomes impossible to anticipate your opponent. So i like that Blizzard are keeping it clean. Quality > quantity. | ||

Replacing such an interesting concept with a protoss guardian is boring as hell. | ||

You didn't realize they set in the interview on "Faster", and 20 minutes interview time is actually 12 minutes real time huh? | ||

If you consider that tanks tend to be the backbone of mech, as well as the inclusion of widow mines, I think we terrans are on the right track for now. It wasn't explicit and he certainly backed away from the idea that they were creating a new deathball. But he was talking about sitting back in your base like Protoss. Sitting back in your base and being passive is very different then mech style play. SC2 Protoss also plays passive and then pushes out with a giant army to destroy. But Protoss passivity is very different then shutting down attack lanes to prevent backstabs and runbys, using defence in depth to seige down everything, and slow creeping across maps to gain positional advantages. I'm probably making too much of his comparison to the Protoss, but that's not a very happy comparison for me. I am looking to see what the widow mines do though. Warhounds and battlehellions don't really add to mech play though as they'r'e pretty interchangeable with an M&M mobile force. Edit. But awesome interviews. I always enjoy TL's interviews with Blizzard and I'm very happy that Blizzard is willing to explain their ideas with us. | ||
