Let's not kid ourselves, zergs have learned to play extremely greedy vs P, starting with a quick 3rd and then power to 50-60 drones. You can't saturate 3 bases and then max out on roaches around 12', and not expect to get punished for it. Great interview. Currently playing the HOTS beta and I think they are doing a great job. The only issue I have (and DB says it's going to be fixed) is with the terran race in HOTS, specifically how boring it looks. Not to mention the ridiculously powerful yet dirt cheap hellbats. Everything else looks ace. I believe that they want to give the Hellbat a buff. | ||

For Monk, don't know if you'll read this but great interview! You asked a lot of gutsy questions that I'm sure satisfied a tonne of nerds watching this video. Bit of constructive criticism: make sure that the questions you ask or examples you bring up are different enough from one another. A bunch of the broodlord/infestor questions were very similar to one another. But overall, it was solid. Don't know how old you are but that had to have been nerve racking and no doubt it'll serve as an experience that will help you in future endevors : ) | ||

DB is rather smooth during these types of interviews, he has answered the same questions 100 times and can be quite persuasive. I guess they do know what they are doing, slow and steady in the right direction is better than swift and wrong. | ||

No need to be too defensive, you are doing a great job in the interview. There will always be those that complain but I think most people here are very grateful for the work you put in! | ||

I think his complaint is a completely understandable and reasonable one though, especially if he doesn't know where I'm trying to come from. I'm not going to respond to just any random haters. =P | ||

I'm actually not sure what's worse, the fact that he has refused to balance the game for so long or that he actually believes some of the balance issues can be attributed to "cultural differences" or "will solve themselves". If he has refused to care about the game for so long, until 'later in hots beta', then it's really not a compelling reason for people to care about spectating this game. | ||

I was pleasantly surprised with this interview, Browder really seems to have the same things in mind as we do, they're just going about changing this really cautiously. Also, as much as I had thought Terran needed another unit in HotS, I love what he said about just making all the other less used Terran units and abilities more viable, and that they'll work on TvP mech. Gives me a lot of hope. | ||

I was thinking maybe replacing it with some kind of pure support ability like casting something that gives a temporary speed boost to a group of your units. I'm thinking overlords/ultras/hydras/swarm hosts mainly here (overlords so they can actually possibly reach a retreating army to bomb them), just to name a few of the many possible uses, although sped-up banelings may be a little too strong, perhaps it would give banelings that are off of creep the same speed as if they were on creep, and unchange the speed if they are already on creep. I like how many potential tactical maneuvers could be discovered for it.. I bet people could get really creative with it. Dustin I think didn't realize one major change that would happen as a result of changing Fungal from a root to a slow, is that right now if you get fungaled once, you can keep chaining fungals on same group of units till they're dead and there's not really anything the defender can do about it. With a slow, at least you could slowly split some of them away so they can't be refungaled again and again so easily. | ||
