EPTNew Dustin Browder interview (From WCS china) - Page 12
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
monk: Just talked to Dustin and did an interview. There's a mistake in this translation. He said in the test map, Psionic units will be unaffected by Fungal, not Neural. Also, they're looking into a lot of changes for the infestor, including removing Neural entirely in HotS. | ||

You mean the part where he uses words like revolutionary and diversity about the one the most useless units in the game that HE created? or the part where he casually forgets to talk about the infestor? And he relaxes by talking about HSM and 250mm cannon when, the game is plagued with design oversights in it's core. This is from the man who thought 1 food/2 armor roach was a fantastic idea in steppes of war. | ||

Correct on all points, and I come back half a year later after giving up on SC2 to see if they've made any changes, and see that Blizzard is still killing their own game off. Whatever, I'm done. Sad that SC2 had to go out this way, but whatever. | ||

I know Infestor is really became the core unit but the whole concept of support caster dosen't apply for that unit in the late game | ||

This is from the man who thought 1 food/2 armor roach was a fantastic idea in steppes of war. You totally changed your argument. You accused Browder of being vague, off-topic and arrogant. The interview is most certainly not vague and off-topic. Arrogance is more open to interpretation. | ||

"In this patch you'll get to see how awesome X unit is!" "Ability X is really awesome." Am I the only one bugged by this? Might be a personal quirk, maybe. Every interview I've seen with him he tends to the hyperbolic in his speech. | ||

I mean, Brood/Infestor forces out the mothership play in the first place. I know Infestor is really became the core unit but the whole concept of support caster dosen't apply for that unit in the late game I dont see why Ultras should get buffed really. They are allready strong, most zerg just 1-a them into chokes and then cry they are useless. In open field fights they are really strong. Hydras do need buffs tho, after the heavy winfestor nerfs ofc | ||

I completely agree. The way broodlord infestor works right now is just dumb. Nobody want's to see games with broodlord infestor because it is JUST DUMB. Using vortex to beat it isn't much better. Also, these changes aren't gona change terran versus zerg. But that matchup can be made instantly better by nerfing corruptors so that they can't beat vikings so easily even without fungal. Corruptor is a dumb unit. It is a hard counter for air (this is why we don't see much carrier or battle cruiser usage) And basically it's only used as a transition to broodlord these days. | ||

Yes to both: Vague, because he only says what they are going to do to test stuff ... which we dont care about. Off-topic, because no examples of how things would be changed were given. The whole thing is more or less a giant "trust us, we know what we are doing" and that is very much in question after their abysmal designs for HotS without any clear concept for what would be working or fun and several "turn around 180 degrees" for the unit designs during the beta so far. | ||

I don't see how you can argue that at all... no examples? Really? | ||

link to it should probably be put on the OP On November 18 2012 04:57 Glurkenspurk wrote: Can you honestly not tell the difference between stacked mutas and scourge micro vs "who has 1 more muta and carapace upgrade" sc2 muta vs muta zvz? I can, I was just mainly pointing out mutas isn't the only option still in ZvZ even "with a fungal nerf to make it a projectile" I'm also that the fungal nerf doesn't mean mutas comes back in full force like he was implying by his post. | ||

managing to neural a Mothership is an entertaining action to a spectator albeit an imbalanced one assuming the Zerg can Vortex a Protoss or keep the Mothership neuraled, but still it's entertaining to a spectator to watch since the HotS test map will have fungal being a projectile, the WoL test map should have been focused on experimenting with Infested Terran changes ITs win games for present day Zerg far far more than neuraling psionic units | ||
