Questions for an SC2 Dev, right now.

[Aldrius]

Okay, couple of dumb questions (bah, you keep moving the topic on me!!!):

What was wrong with Null Shield?
What was wrong with Spider-mines (on the Raven) and the Raven using minerals for it's abilities?
Has the dev team ever considered missile options besides the Nuke being built? (Like an EMP missile in place of an EMP ability on the Ghost?)... you don't have to ask this one, probably too much like a suggestion.
What was wrong with Armory-tech Vikings? (oh, this is going back a ways)
Does the Queen feel like a powerful enough base defender? And does she have any lair/hive tech upgrades?
What was wrong with repair on Mules?

Sorry if that's too many, don't want to bombard him. hehe.

How does the nydus worm currently? Why did the dev team choose this route?




Also will we ever get a chance to chat 1 on 1 with a dev again?

(11:43:54 PM) Jack Doe: Blizzcon. It's right around the corner. Will I chat with you all again? Who knows, I talk to Kevin a lot but we've been friends for years. This is a decision I've made tonight to chat, not anything Blizzard related. I won't tell things that I don't believe is already searchable in interviews or google searches. I just figured it'd be fun tonight while drinking a Coors and munching on my Digornos.
(11:44:09 PM) Kevin: And about the Nydus?
(11:45:17 PM) Jack Doe: The Nydus... the f***ing nydus. It hasn't changed for a while, it feels a lot like the old functionality. This is a lot like the conversation earlier about the Carrier. We wanted to try something new.. it complicated things, we thought of ways to change it and found that going to the original was the better alternative.

(11:46:24 PM) Jack Doe: It "feels" right as it stands right now. But if there's a way to make it more "interesting" while keeping the good feeling in beta, I know we've specifically made a point to be open minded on it.

How determined are they to keep the Mothership a unique unit? And how well does the Carrier integrate into the Protoss air force? How often does it see use?

Eligor, this is answered partially in the post in the Offtopic forum. you can find a link in the original post. Check that before I reask this to him Thanks!

Don't you realize Coors is the worst beer in existence or you living a sheltered life? Don't even try and debate me on this

Random, but not Colt 45 and Olde English are the worst beers in existence.

Thanks, if I recall correctly the most recent word was the the nydus was back on the overseer making it kind of a zerg arbiter that can only cast recall on creep.

how do we know this isn't fake!!!!

Ya know, if you want to call this fake, that's fine. I'll continue asking my friend questions as long as he's up and willing. I've shown in the past that I'm credible and It doesn't matter to me to defend myself, if you don't believe me I'd rather accept it and move on than attempt to defend myself.
