Have you already ejaculated after owning a P with a three hatch single gas burrowed baneling + speed ling ambush?

Or have your already felt the need to masturbate after raping a terran with a two-three hatch double gas Roach Burrow dance?!

ZERG ROOARRR! :D

Oh, if you want a laugh and it still works: As protoss just single base rush to get one warpray really fast and rofl as you kill both his hatches/lair with it under a minute while he panics and tries to get anti air.

What kinds of maps is SC2 being developed and balanced on? Does it follow the same structure of main/nat/min only? How wide are the chokes and fighting area in general? Is island maps a consideration?

Is there new APM sinks that exists or could be patched in if needed?

Terran stuff:
What abilities does the Ghost have right now and how (prerequisites) is he set in the Techtree?
Are Buildings faster?
Whyt does the Nightwing do?
Is salvage still in and if yes, how does it work right now?
Is there a point in "swapping" Building addons?

You dont need more than 150apm to play this game at its full potential imo.

With all due respect, even War3 requires more than 150 APM to play to its full potential. There will always be more things you can do with your actions in a game where units are fragile like in SC/2.

Is it possible to force fire on terrain? For example, can you make a siege tank shoot at a particular area where you think a DT is when you don't have detection?

What are all the spellcasters up to in the current build?

Motherships?

Ghosts?

"Nighthawks"?

QUEEN? (BTW can the Queen burrow?)

Are corruptors still totally useless?

How many slots do Medivacs have? Same as dropship? (i heard somewhere they only have 7 O.o)

Do overlords still morph into overseers? Is there an ovie speed upgade? Any spells at all for ovies besides drop creep?

I want to know about zerg.

Do zerglings still look awesomely cool when they rush into an opponents base in large numbers? Do they act better now without micro?

Is Zerg still the race that expands the most? Can you defend against early P/T attacks with a couple of base defenses and not many lings?

Zerg stuff:

1) Are you sure Spine Crawlers (new Sunkens) can't move?

2) Is creep still needed for Nydus Worms usage? Can they burrow back?

3) Do Zerglings have Adrenal Glands upgrade???

In past events, we've heard that early game was close to perfection, how about now with the midgame? has the midgame been drastically improved?

How flexible are the races? Are you allowed to choose whether u want to fast tech/fast expo, etc and still have them to work?

Take pics of all stats (costs, build times, tooltips) ^^

There will be stats up eventually, at the moment they're not worth the effort it takes to put in.

except for the gas mechanic.

How exactly is the gas mechanic in this build?[/QUOTE][/quote]Gas mechanic is as follows;
- 3000 starting vesphane, 300 minable at a time
- once the 300 is gone, the geyser is down for a little while and then goes on line again
- once the geyser is down it cannot be mined
- 8 vesphane are mined at a time

Hmmm, in your opinion which unit of each race is your favourite and why? (so far of course)

I haven't played terran enough yet to give you an idea. But at the moment i'm loving the infestor and nydus worms from zerg (nydus worm drops give you such an epic satisfaction, whereas infestors are a pretty cool caster which makes shit blow up). For Protoss i can't really decide, i like the DT - but really i love the warpgates. Personally thats the feature that defines the protoss race atm for me,

How are collision sizes for units?

Comparable, most units are on the thin side (especially buildings which makes walling harder for everyone but terran. )

Can units block others from escaping like ling vs marine?

Yes, but its more difficult

Burrow looks more spottable now?

I'm not sure, I haven' really tested the burrow mechanic at all (seems useless for now, once again)

The maps all have double gas (which if you transfer your probes at the right time so that once one dies and the other is online behaves just like one geyser). Min only will never come to fruition - every expo will have gas (2 most likely) and maybe mineral onlies will be golden minerals. Iono, theres a number of different ideas they have used thus far in the maps on offer. Island maps aren't really being tested on afaik.

Is there new APM sinks that exists or could be patched in if needed?

Um, no - but there are some which are in development (i have no idea what those are).

Do you like all the LASERS? PEW PEW PEW

Also, it seems like most units take up less space and they can move more fluidly than sc1. So, is it harder to block off ramps with a limited number of units? And trap scouting scvs etc.?

this isn't something you can answer from testing, but if you ever get a chance to talk to the devs or ask questions:

In the original Starcraft, the way singleplayer campaign was designed rewarded and taught players to turtle and get a lot of static defense, and didn't encourage much expanding (along with several other important multiplayer concepts). So when these players hopped online for the first time, they copy what they've been taught, lose, and get frustrated and confused. This would turn off a lot of the players from Battle.net. Are you keeping aware of this issue as you make the singleplayer campaign? Perhaps programming the AI to behave more like a human player online would?
