As a request, next time you guys do an interview.
I don't like watching videos of these things. I'm often playing a game or listening to music or watching a movie or something while I check stuff like this. I want to read it.
Please provide a text version. |

| Interesting that they may not release the raven/creep tumor patch as zergs have been struggling lately. I thought that was for sure going in. |
| | i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have. |  |

Nice interview ! Learned a few new things, that's cool.
I'm a bit afraid of Mothership core rush with the canon ability tho xD
Not knowming what the questions are is a bit weird tho |

Agree, I'd like to take this opportunity and ask everyone that does videos in English that is nowadays the international language: please, make text and or subtitles for your videos, you'd be surprised by the number of non-native speakers that can only read and can't hear or vice-versa. Learning a second language isn't easy to most people. Though I have no problem, I know the reality here.
Thank you |

Thanks for the interview!
New stuff in this for the curious:
-Mothership Core is not stationary anymore, but moves slowly
-Battle Cruisers don't have the sprint ability anymore, but instead get improved damage
-They are not finally decided on the carrier yet, though the beta will start without (save the carrier!!!)
-The call to action Zerg Creep nerf and Raven buff are on hold right now (I blame MVP and Taeja) |

i liked the mothership core when it was immobile, now its just gonna be a protoss queen.
higher dps on the BC? MADNESS!
Vipers and swarm host gonna be so OP
im glad they're going through a beta cause i feel like alot of things will change.
cant wait to go through the process :D |

| Designers are still absolutely clueless about the Carrier. The Tempest and the Carrier don't overlap at all (the Carrier is most crucial against super late game Z and T mech, the Tempest sucks against both of these) and the Tempest has a laughable amount of strategic depth. Not only that, the Carrier is used more than the BC, Hydralisk, and Reaper, yet we're seeing all three of these units get buffed. |

How can you watch a movie and read an interview at the same time? Better question, why are you browsing the internet while watching a movie? |

Because people watch movies on Netflix these days? It's as easy as pressing Alt+Tab.
Much harder to listen to two different videos at the same time. |

| I wonder that now the mothership core can move around, how the abilities it has right now will hold up. |

"My favourite unit is the swarm host, it's very unique, there is nothing like it in WOL, it generates free units over and over".
Yeah, there is really no unit like that in WOL! So unique!Last edit: 2012-08-21 03:09:05 |
