The 4 questions they did not answer are : + Show Spoiler + 1. What strategies/units are being used in different matchups? In BW terran for example uses exclusively mech against protoss, could you give some brief examples of what it's like in SC2 right now, and how it has evolved during development? 8. Are there still plans for making the editor available during the beta period? 14. Will there be backwards compatibility for watching older replays on newer versions of sc (for example by keeping all the patch data of previous versions backed up)? Will we be able to watch replays online with friends? If so can replay games be host publicly instead of private only? 15. Are there any plans to allow players to save a game state from a replay or immediately play from that point? In a similar manner, will there be a "Save on disconnect" feature, allowing players to resume games where one player disconnects, in the way they would a saved game? | ||

They didn't really answer the question although I assume that they mean there won't be units like scourge. Blizzard sort of seems to be missing the point of the question. yea, they really danced around this question. i was disappointed as well. | ||

Well, it was more of a remark than an actual question (not in the way it was phrased, but in it's content). I think the answer was decent, but that question should be sent to the devs to look into it perhaps. I think it's the best question in the batch. I trust blizzard anyways though, so I guess the way they though it up will be just as epic. About the replay question: I hope this won't work like it did in WC3 where the screen follows whatever the player has selected (even if his screen isn't actually where the selected item is). This function (unless it was changed later on) was pretty frustrating in WC3 since your screen was just boucing around for split seconds (and it actually moved from point A to point B, rather than just changing locations as it would if you clicked on the mini-map). Blizz's answer is pretty vague. They just say you can follow whatever is selected. Anyways, the closer we can get to an FPreplay , the better. The ideal situation would be seeing everysingle action as though the game were being played, by the player, on your screen. | ||

It would be really nice if you just want to watch some games to see a list of players who are currently playing, so you can just go in and kibbutz. If lag is a concern, they don't even have to have the players in the same room per se. It would be a nice thing to make high level ladder an affair with an audience and some prestige (though I guess if high level players were under a microscope every time they played it wouldn't be as good). I diagress, but the main point is it wouldn't be difficult to add. It would be especially nice for UMS role playing games as well. Its just a nice feature all around, and I'm sad to see them shut the door on it so hard. | ||

As an aside: have the TL admins noticed any sort of a spike in registrations to this website since you were the first to be linked (directly linked, I might add) by Blizzard? No, infact we should probably get some kind of block up to protect us from the scourge of the b.net forums. | ||

I don't think Blizzard realizes the e-sports potential of having observers being able to join at any moment. it would have to be managed carefully , it could distract the players say if laggers joined mid game or people kept leaving and joining quickly.i would say give kicking powers to someone but who? it couldnt be a player or he may kick off his opponent if he is being beaten in the game. | ||
