But seriously, regardless of how ridiculous giant SCVs sound, it's nice to know Blizzard is putting some effort into adding some macro back into the game. | ||

That is funny, i wonder why not just make it just "special" with some minor graphic diference. Maybe they will be the new Scouts, when you have secured the game you finish your enemy with a horde of giant SCV. | ||

Don't they get we don't need gimmicks, every other freaking RTS has a bunch of stupid gimmicks... at least learn from their mistakes... drop all these mineral and gas "mechanics", the choice is between having automining or not and they should decide between these two, there is no third option of adding stupid gimmicks or at least it's a terrible one. Yah and while your at it get rid of the Warp-In gimmick and the faster creep gimmick. Oh and the gimmick about needing to build on creep too. Oh and the gimmick about needing to build supply its artificial and needless busy work. Like most things in life there are good "gimmicks" and bad "gimmicks." Try and remember that what your are viewing is a snapshot of the game development. The take-home point is that they are addressing the macro problem. That is important. | ||

not to start another MBS discussion, but WHY get rid of SBS and destroy macro and then try and bring in gimmicks to make up for it. I cant really think that giant scv + weird dark pylon + upgradeable depots (which I actually support) is all that easier than simple SBS. Its like they removed difficulty for the noobs, realized that that difficulty was required, and threw in gimmicks while ignoring that they have the same benefits/drawbacks of SBS. Its hilarious. And these gimmicks are even harder for a noob to understand/remember than SBS is. I really don't understand you sometimes Blizzard | ||

I really don't understand you sometimes Blizzard The idea is that Blizzard may lose the casual crowd if they feel the UI is "outdated" with things like SBS and auto-mine. Making actual game mechanics do the job may create a positive reaction however. Casuals often whine that SBS and auto-mine are artificial and unfun, but at the very least something like a Dark Pylon gives off some strategic value in casuals eyes. Remember that SC1 had a top of the line UI by RTS standards when it came out. Blizzard games are always known as easy to learn and hard to master, so living up to that philosophy is much harder to do when a lot of SC's appeal lies upon the UI being casual-unfriendly by today's standards. | ||

Carrion Swarm attacks in a cone, its more similar to a firebat than to Razor Swarm. Locust swarm is not a moveable psistorm, it is essentially the Carrier mechanic. The only crossover i can see between Razor Swarm and Wc3 is Tornado, which is nonetheless quite different. <EDIT> Also, did anyone see the Cliff-walking lings in the video in the OP? I didnt see this mentioned, but it seems huge if i'm not mistaken. | ||
