EPTThanks!
New Dustin Browder interview (From WCS china) - Page 13
| 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. | ||

I'm just utterly shocked at how the root isn't being looked into. Not to mention the fact that it can make free units. Its just way to well rounded. Though there is some saving grace. Personally, I'm looking forward to a complete overhaul. That's why I'll be encouraging the Starcraft 2 team to make a few revolutionary changes to increase the diversity of our strategies. Seems like they really just want to wait for HOTS. Guess I can't blame them its not to far off. Should be exciting once HOTS comes if the make some revolutionary changes as he says. | ||

Every time he talks about the Infestor and doesn't mention the root, it makes me not even want to buy HotS. I cannot imagine the game improving if an AoE Root is seen as perfectly acceptable. | ||

So the best thing for 'the community' to do is to kill Starcraft 2? This is their business model: they create an expansion with content, you can buy it. You don't get it for free. | ||

They're changing nothing to PvZ and TvZ really but making it so that protoss will always have a vortex... Common DB this doesn't really change anything Like seriously, we complain about being able to toss out 50 infested terrans for free and being able to delay pushes indefinitly with fungal and their solution is to make the standoff between brood/infestor and protoss deathballs still come down to landing a vortex but taking out the clever micro of getting a NP off on it? That SHOULD be in the game, but the brood/infestor composition strength SHOULD NOT | ||

heck imagine the infestor trying to fungal a protoss deathball, but the stalkers blinking out of the way and splitting outwards. would make the battle look cool possibly :D i wonder why they didn't implement it last time they tested projectile... | ||

I think it was due to a lot of Zerg qq. They also wanted to make fungal ground only (around the same time as the VR speed nerf) but that was also shelved after Zerg qq. I agree that it would look cool. Heck, even manual cast Chargelots could get stuck in. Edit/ Ah, of course. Muta battles in ZvZ. Bugger. Although, isn't it now a Roach/Infestor race? I can't really comment on ZvZ though as I rarely ever watch it (same as TvT). The only mirror I like watching is PvP and that's because I'm Protoss. | ||

I belive it was because it forced ZvZ into a muta race. | ||
