Warpgate being a race-specific unit build mechanic actually makes sense, although I still dont think its particularly fair. I really dont like what they have to say about tvp. One race has a seemingly infinite arsenal of early game cheeses, the other race has none. The discussion should stop right there- it is simply not fair. If I understood correctly, the "newest patch should address blink allin tvp concerns". What fucking change are they talking about exactly? There's less time warp available  | ||

Its not like they can just say "And now there are 5 mineral patches and everything is beautiful". People will always gravitate towards ending the game early and will only stop when trying to do so becomes to risky. I don't think that inconvenience is a good argument against positive change. Of course a change as drastic as altering the economy would bring a period of instability. Brood war was a huge change compared to vanilla SC, yet it was for the better. WoL was completely broken on release, yet it was a necessary iterative process. Complacency and settling for mediocrity is not something I consider appropriate for the sequel to the greatest RTS ever made. If hard changes have to be made, make them. If jimmies have to be rustled, rustle them. | ||

Immortal isn't much better, another unmicroable unit that counters certain things way too strong. Heavy redesigns to robo tech and factory tech is what LOTV should focus on with protoss and terran. | ||

TvP is still the most frustrating matchup and every win feels 100x better than the ones in other matchups.. | ||

"we're keeping an eye on things" isn't very reassuring given their track record. Also, I don't mean this as an insult, but is english David's first language? I've seen this in the past as well, he seems to have trouble understanding what is actually being asked and his answers are often tangentially connected to the question at best. It's like watching two people talking past each other. I think he says that deathballs aren't that major to fix as long as constant action occurs throughout the game. Take that as you will... | ||

I haven't heard Pardo talk about BW development so much, but from asking questions of Wyatt and reading his blog, I at least know he is intimately aware of the different emergent behaviours that developed from Starcraft and seems to appreciate the competitive and extra strategic elements they added. Hiring patrick would be a step in the right direction but he signed with a another company last month. He's designed a string of amazing games. On topic: I don't play sc2 hots at all cause my initial impressions just didn't make it seem like it was fun at all. I was presented with overlapping unit roles along with WoL style gameplay. That didn't and still doesn't appeal to me on any level. They do a good job with balance though I'll give them that but when core mechanics suck it doesn't make up for balance. If it were up to me I rather have an unbalanced game that is fun to play. | ||

It funny how races that had it 'good' all of sudden cry hard when their race is brought back into check. DK doesnt fall for this crying, he keeps to his system, this is impressive in my book. Thankyou DK ! | ||

at .least 60% of the questions are bs qq whine with nearly no reason to even ask because the question itself is stupid²  but hey BNET FORUM right ? xD On February 06 2014 09:20 Bagi wrote: If warpgate and force fields are staying, the least they can do is axe the colossus and replace it with a more dynamic unit with LOTV. Protoss needs a higher skill floor and a higher skill ceiling, and if gateway units can't be altered too much then it should be the robo units that break the deathball. Immortal isn't much better, another unmicroable unit that counters certain things way too strong. Heavy redesigns to robo tech and factory tech is what LOTV should focus on with protoss and terran. no man, colossi are cool, where on earth you guys play ? where you still have problems with deathballs wtf guys unmicroable immortel ??? wtf why i am even anger myself reading comments ... | ||

I have news for you David, the game will be dead before LoTV if you keep it up like this, I sure as hell won't be playing then. EndRant, back to a more balanced, overall better version of sc2, Starbow. | ||

What's to watch? People have been doing Skytoss and Skyterran for months now. Also early game anti air isn't really the issue with Skytoss or Skyterran. It's the LATE GAME anti-air everyone is worried about. The whole "if he gets that composition you lost the game" thing is really dumb to me. I'm not saying my 200/200 army should beat their 200/200 army, but it sure as hell shouldn't completely melt my maxed AA army 3 or 4 times over without putting a dent in his. Out of all the questions he answered, this was by far the worst answer. | ||

Because of Warp Gate and Forcefield, Gateway units are weaker than the low tech units of the other races, because of that weakness Protoss relies heavily on a single massive army much more so than the other races do. This isn't an opinion, this is a fact. If Warp Gate and Forcefield were scaled back, made less important, Gateway units could be buffed and the entirety of the race could be made more dynamic. It's a widely held opinion that Protoss isn't an exciting race to watch, and definitely not fun to play against. That is why TvZ is held so high above any of the Protoss matches as the most exciting match up. Just because it's different, just because it's unique doesn't mean it's a good thing to have. | ||

Define major mistakes? The games I've played and observed, Terran will open mech and transition into skyterran late game. You make it seem like Zerg just lets Terran start going air from the get go. It's not very easy to harass against turtle mech style. | ||
