Thread: Just letting you know......

    Default Just letting you know......



    If Starcraft II isn't perfectly balanced when it comes out, it should be with the patches, just like Starcraft I.

    I think too many people have been worried about its balance issues,(Not necessarily here, just Starcraft fans generally),and when Beta comes out, most of those will be resolved, and if not then, the patches will fix it up. Of course we will have to wait, but I hope this helps people who have been stressing over it. I didn't make the video, the honor goes to Lucky Fool.

    Cute.

    But, I hope SC2 won't take 10 years to be perfect.

    Seen it before, well back then multiplayer wasn't taken seriously anyway that's why it took them so long to balance it.

    Now you know why SCII beta is not out yet.

    You forget that SC1 wasn’t a runaway hit when it was released. The gaming industry wasn’t as big as it is now and blizzard was still a small game developer.

    SC is NOT "perfectly" balanced. It is as balanced as a game with such diverse races and dependence on map features can be. I hate hearing people talk about "perfectly balanced SC." Its a frickin lie.

    It's a lot more convenient then saying "SC is a game as balanced as it can be with such diverse races and dependence on map."

    And every single game that has diverse races is dependent on map, in fact, every game in existience relies on maps to be balanced.

    I remember seeing this, but thanks for the reminder. SC2 probably wont take as long to balance due to the expectations it has, but might still take a few years. Single Player is the part they have a better chance at screwing up, but I doubt they will.

    Scouts are still overpriced if you ask me.

    I think StarCraft II will be a bit more balanced, since some of the game designers are pro-gamers (didn't happen last time) and there's probably lots of progamers who signed up for beta.

    Of course, all those progamers could actually be a problem...

    This looks suspiciously like a post that was made when that video was, you know, new. A year and a half ago.

    Really? I'm relatively new to this site. I had no idea.
