Yeah they are quite evasive.

...okay?

"We believe armies as a whole are easier to move around and control because of the better pathing and unlimited unit selection."
stop being stupid.

"As I said earlier today, we prefer not to do design changes in a patch if we can, because changing how the unit functions completely will be very confusing to players."
Regardless of whether or not I would want BCs or Carrier to be redesigned, this has to be the fucking dumbest argument. Confuse SC2 players? Are SC2 players like 8 year olds or some facebook game playing casuals that they can't handle a unit being changed without getting confused and frustrated or what?!

Let me know if the spoilers are confusing for people.

He's currently picking the easy questions. Guess he'll continue to do so, but I hope we get some high value information somehow

I'm not liking the answers...

I just think it is hilarious how he can say that it is important for Terran players to keep trying to mech. If the whole pro scene has been playing 8 hours per day, for almost a year and hardly a single player actually finds mech to be better than bio in TvP it feels a bit.. Like harassment to be told to keep trying it out. If you have problem in PvT for an example and you keep getting told "It is important that you keep try to Tempest Rush from one base" it is hard to get atleast not a little insulted

David, What are your plans in order to make "forgotten" units such as Battlecruiser, Broodlord, Viper, etc. usable in high level matches? Thanks!
Cheers! lol at this question. Vipers and Brood Lords are 'forgotten' units? I guess Carriers are so forgotten he forgot to mention them :D.

someone should post on that thread why they like that there are only hardcounter units.
|
The last question he picked (about warp gate and sentries) was just stupid to ask. Feels more like a balance/game design whine, not like a question. I wish Dayvie would just take some questions that actually matter.

Also known as "the casual argument". When you have no sensible reason not to do something, pretend "casuals won't understand". Problem solved.

@david kim
We've talked about our stance on Force Fields in the past, and it still remains unchanged. We feel like we get a lot of feedback from forums saying there's no micro anyone can do against Force Fields. However, we just don't see this. For example, why do Zerglings or roaches try to bait out Force Fields if micro against them is not possible? Terran players picking off units on one side of Force Fields and dropping them on the more favorable side is another good example. We believe Force Fields are a very unique ability that sometimes feel there was nothing you could do, but that is okay because there are varying degrees of successes and failures. That is just StarCraft: If DTs come in when I have no detectors I'm dead, but that doesn't mean there was nothing I could have done.
Seems lotv will not change alot.

Yeah, Broodlords aren't forgotten in late game and Vipers are a necessity in ZvP.
