As a request, next time you guys do an interview.
I don't like watching videos of these things. I'm often playing a game or listening to music or watching a movie or something while I check stuff like this. I want to read it.
Please provide a text version.
Agreed, text interviews are my preference as well!  thanks for posting though

BC damage increase?
overpowered. completely overpowered
EDIT: oh good, its only for hots
thank god
i believe hots will fail horribly and WoL will continue to be the premier tournament title for at least 2 more years. So as long as the bc buff stays out of WoL ill be happy
I believe WoL still has depth yet to be discovered, as taeja/mvp lategames recently in tvz has shown us
MVP completely decimated maxed zerg armies in IEM with his max BC/viking/raven composition. Give BC's a damage buff in WoL and you might be completely overpowering terran lategame against zerg.
You are utterly deluding yourself if you seriously think ANY of the premier tournaments will be playing WoL a few months after HotS releases. Have fun with your outdated inferior game. Even if HotS still isn't on par with Brood War, it's going to beat the shit out of WoL.

BC damage increase is actually surprising. I was convinced they'd never buff it anymore.
Also, zergs doing bad? There were 3 zergs in top 4 at that very tournament (though maybe this interview was before that)

Hope their changes to PvP work out well.

what? battlecruiser are utterly underpowered they need that buff, i sincerely hope that WOL die as a fast as a possible, is just bad

Zergs struggling? Good joke.

So obvious that Blizzard hates Terran...
Spellcasters suck compared to the other races, they keep discussing ways to kill the defensive advantage that Terran was supposed to be about, and they plan on adding units that hard counter what Terrans usually build...
All that's left for them to do is remove the marine, and Terran will become the forgotten race.

I wonder what the damage buff for the BC will look like. Its attack was nerfed in 1.1 (i think?) from 10 to 8.

I wonder that now the mothership core can move around, how the abilities it has right now will hold up. People like you need to stop making comparisons between the SH and Broodlords, they function completely differently. You quoted the wrong person. The only difference between these 2 is that Broodlords fly + don't have to burrow, and the SH is a ground unit that does have to burrow.
Not actually true, the way that they function differently is that you don't need to attack units to produce units with it.

what happens if tons of people think HoTS is boring and unexciting? no one can predict the future. Even dustin browder said in an interview he thinks it might take a while for the top tournaments to switch to hots

I watch these interviews hoping, hoping that I will hear the magic words "The colossus has been removed".
Hopefully, someday ;(

Uh, Ghosts and Ravens are formidable spellcasters. I've seen why ravens are so strong this weekend. HSM and PDD's (and turrets as a bonus)? Man they're so good.

(That person next to David Kim is so boring to listen to.)
I have to say that it's a pity that in these interviews with Blizzard there is never any criticism, never any statement by the interviewer to challenge what Blizzard said. Instead it's just a press release which is basically useless.

Arg, nothing on the widow mine !

I guess the interviewer wants to get an interview again. If Blizzard feels giving him an interview hurts their reputation, than they search another interviewer, there are enough around.

Yes, Blizzard being the evil masochistic thing it is, created its own race called "Terran" and the proceeded to do terrible, terrible things to it just for the sake of pain & hate. Sounds reasonable.
In all seriousness though, the things they are adding to so-called "counter Terran's usual builds" aren't the only things added to HotS. Terran gets its share of nifty improvements. Also, T spellcasters don't suck particularly badly... I don't even know what else to say..
|
A lot of the blizzard head-something designers are pretty boring. It's better than having some pretty face explain stuff that he hasn't been involved in though.
I liked the interview, and I feel like Kim justifies the Tempest reasonably well, I can see it kind of ending up a semi-siege tank keeping people from pushing certain paths or whatever because they'd take unavoidable losses.
|
I feel like Blizzard just hates T...remove battlecruiser speed but give more damage. Boooooring. Don't buff ravens AND don't nerf creep tumors. New mine is boring. Warhound is boring. Wtf is this blizzard?
|
This was less an Interview than a presentation. Cause when I heard the presentation by David Kim and Kaeo Milker by myself at Gamescom it was exactly the same (ok BC stuff was missing)
Good stuff though keep it going
|
tempest +22 range no final number yes we need from corner to corner of map shot
btw can somebody say to me if Beta will be public for game owners or only for chosen peoples???? thanks
