If we were to translate the build times direction to normal time, you would get numbers with decimals. A drone's build time in normal time would be 23.63 seconds, instead of the nice and even 17 seconds. They obviously can't just change the build times to be more even after they changed the blizzard time to regular time, because that would actually affect balance. It is a harder issue than most people give credit for. No. If you round every time to full seconds, it will make differences of a maximum 0.5 seconds. Do you really think half seconds make that much of a difference? | ||

They knew about the "economy problem" for a long time an chose to do nothing, and now we know why: they can't be bothered/ don't have the time to rebalance the entire game. If we add that they want to take less time to develop the next expansion, i think it's clear we will not see any "big" changes like death balls or economy. The mech comments by DK were cringe worthy. Like, what does mech replacing bio have to do with anything? Not even the most hard core mech fans have ever suggested that. He takes a small paragraph to essentially say that they like MM balls more then positional play and it's a "job well done" if mech only works on the occasional map. Meh, glad i canceled the pre order. | ||

Quite a few times I've seen an opinion that differed from general consensus downvoted to hell when in fact it was correct. This happens even on the "useful" ones, like /r/programming. To get an example of what I'm talking about, try to say that Destiny is a sub-par player on /r/starcraft. Oh, I know that, but I try to avoid it. It's sad that people think like that, but even so, Reddit is one of the most useful communities around. Also, it's just my opinion. | ||

edit: And I don't think asking "Why kerrigan is so ugly in Brood War?"" is the one we should choose. | ||

That one is 30 minutes actually. SC2 has a global fan base in different time zones, I don't think 2 hours is not enough. | ||

They made an announcement thread 24 hours earlier to pool questions from people who couldn't be there so others could ask them instead. Don't think anyone that regularly visits reddit got left out, really. | ||

Don't think anyone that regularly visits reddit got left out, really. The problem is that they didn't answer everything that could potentially be answered. I excited about Blizzard discussing the economy problem. There's a big chance they're going to answer just like they answered to the unit colision problem: "we believe players should be able to crump units if they want". If they come with something like "players should be able to stay at 3 bases if they want", we should prepare strong arguments on the following perspectives: - If this kind of strategy isn't sub-optimal, it's going to be dominant. - It's not just a matter of balance; it's about how Blizzard want the game to look like. The spectacle thing LaLush mentioned. Please OneGoal, SC2BW, StarBow and FRB and Starcraft 2 Pro and whoever more guys... don't blink. Now's the time. | ||

It's like they work in a dungeon with no communication to the outside world. Nah. It's just their/Browder's standard answer that basically means "I've heard this question a million of times, and we're not gonna consider it. Bugger off." | ||

StarkHarrow: re you still considering working on Mech on a more BW-Tank Based fashion ? Or are you willing to stick to a core of Hellbat/Thor DeathBall play we could see in the end of the beta ? DK: We want Mech to be viable but not replace bio. Marine based play has advantages over mech like constant action throughout the whole game. In HotS games so far, we're seeing a fairly high number of mech games ranging from almos all tank based (example is the MLG game MVP played on Ohana) play, hellbat/thor, ground + air mech, or mostly mech mixed with some bio. Anyone know what game he is talking about? | ||
