If Blizzard can promise to nail the balance and ensure that patches are like bi-seasonal to fix imbalances, then it is a good idea. but knowing blizzard, and knowing wc3 it wouldnt work. i prey to god they balance the 3 races properly, which doesn't seem entirely likely for a while. So maybe if they nail it, in an expansion it's possible, but it's cutting it thin. | ||

Adding a race is a bit more than you would expect from an 'expansion'. Expansions shouldn't drastically change the game, it should just offer new and exciting units/missions balance patching etc to the original game. Adding a new race would make it closer to SC3 rather than SC2:Expansion | ||

Adding a new race would make it closer to SC3 rather than SC2:Expansion Well, if the trend in WoW is any indication, they have been adding new races with expansions. Of course, it's a completely different genre, but I'm just saying it's no longer beyond them to put that kind of effort into an expansion. That said, they'd better have some damned good ideas, or it's going to be worthless. People should remember, that expansions don't take that long to come out after the game has been released (a year give or take a few months?). BroodWar went thru a tonne of balance changes even after it was released. SC Vanilla could have been balanced, but Blizzard chose to make the game more interesting. My concern is that a new race might not be interesting enough. It can't be a hybrid of the other three races, it has to be as different from them as they are from each other. In the BroodWar story plot, the new race is a hybrid of Zerg and Protoss, which suggests mostly that it'll be a single player non-functional race. In short: The game will be balanced thru a myriad of patches whether or not a new race is added. The important thing is being confident that this new race won't take away from the games diversity by adding a race that's just a compromise of every other race. | ||
