While a topic beaten to death before, Chris Sigaty goes more in-depth on why we will not be seeing a LAN mode anytime soon, including piracy, and what we should expect for the reconnect from replay feature. Dustin Browder talks about what units he's afraid of being broken in Heart of The Swarm, along with the mentality of trying extreme things in HotS such as the Tempest's 22 range (and why it's there right now), and if we'll ever see the Carrier again. | ||

I wouldn't mind the lack of LAN so much if they would make Battle.net more stable than a 1-legged donkey. Just when a disconnect or something ruins a game it's really frustrating. | ||

If the 22 range works out to be too strong they'll fix it in the beta like they did with marauders and conc shells in the WoL beta. IMO, if 17-22 range is too strong, they should just cut the unit all together and re-do the carrier so that it's more dynamic and micro-able (perhaps similar to how it worked in Brood War, or some new method). | ||

I agree with you 100%. To me cutting the carrier seemed like a quick decision that wasn't thought through thoroughly. I would rather see the carrier revamped and back in action. | ||

It needs actually sight of 22 range to shoot. Even when it does have the sight still tempest isnt one shottin ANYTHING. Yet it's still pretty good comparison to what Carrier was doin in BW.( Off screen fuckers attacking before comin back to carrier) 42 Tempest's alone won't win even in Bronze. ( a LOT of tech to get there) | ||

It's like the inverse of what the race represents. Then again Blizzard already butchered that with marauder and thor. | ||

So what you are saying is the game must be a certain way to be acceptable to you, and if not its complete garbage (like your statement on thors and marauders). Blizz is attempting to make SC2 a novel experience from BW, BW is a great game, no questions asked, but SC2 is not BW and therefore should be treated differently. There is no reason that the marauder and thor are butchered by any means, and there is no reason why Terran should have the longest ranged unit. IIRC, the carrier with full sight range has the same range as the seige tank, at 12.(here, bro] Its not what the inverse of what the race represents, Terran has a mix of units, all ranged fighters that are relatively high dmg output with good dps but low-ish health and upgrade reliant, Protoss has very strong, high health units that cost more to build and build slower, but are very synergized together, Zerg spawns many cheap quick units thats overrun the opponent with only some synergizing well together I.e. you will never see ling-hydra like in BW. TLDR; I can't agree with your statement at all. | ||

TLDR; I can't agree with your statement at all. I pretty much agree to your oppinion. I don't understand why there is so much hate twards Blizz when it's obvious that they really try to make the game better. The ideas are there: take food from the main army, add new strategy options but don't butcher the current ones, add new game mechanics etc. Also in the interview they say they worked 6 months for the Arcade feature and they get no money for it so that feels to me that they care about what fans say | ||

Gamespot video plugins are kinda clipped but whatever. I'll pretend I'm listening to a podcast or something. | ||

One of the things I am actually excited about is when the new custom system is going I might actually be able to get a game of BW on Bnet 2.0. (There is a fully functional custom game that is BW with the SC2 engine, on BW maps!) Since no one plays it, you will never get a game though because it's buried in the custom list 100 pages down. | ||

It would be a nice feature, but I don't actually think it's that important. A tournament admin could just go into the player booths to get it all ready for them. | ||

However shame on Blizzard for using that lame ass argument against LAN. You're full of crap Blizzard. People pirated your game anyway and made LAN for it unofficially. Stop being like this, we want LAN. Give us LAN and give us a decent battle.net chat interface.  | ||
