IgroMir 2009: imba.Adolf[RA] reports his SC2 opinions

[Blazur]

That makes no sense. Diablo 3 has a far greater likelihood of pulling customers from WoW than SC2.

It makes perfect sense. Any game that's worth a damn has the potential to draw subscribers. Hell, I know with me personally all other games will cease to exists once SC2 is released, regardless of their genre. The only exception being D3.

As always, you seem to have trouble distinguishing opinion from facts.

And a final comment. There is no confirmation about it being Cataclysm and is purely speculation.

Grrr, don't try and subdue my anger with your logic! But you're right, the above is only my speculation as a result of my lack of understanding of how this game can look so friggin complete and still not be playable.

Just let me vent at Blizzard...it eases my frustration at how much they suck at timelines and decision making.

Well said. People need to calm down. If youve followed Blizzard games at all youd know from the 2007 initial announcement this was going to happen and most likely will happen a couple more times.

As much as I agree that people need to calm down, we can also respect that people had hope and the hope was proven false. There's nothing wrong with people showing a bit of frustration.

The new shiney is coming later, I don't think any person without a grounded understanding of the industry will be happy about this, and even those with that understanding will still feel a little empty inside.

I wouldn't call that a confirmation that beta is delayed, there was no formal announcement this is all kind of vague.

If it is delayed I will be happy because this game needs lots of work

I assume you mean the Macro APM sinks and Thor?

Might as well include the Zerg while we're at it.

Hell, by the time they can actually get things rolling with this game, perhaps they'll be able to reintroduce LAN and condense all 3 campaigns into one box?

Okay, I'm done venting for now...

The problem with the Zerg is they don't really feel as "new" as the other races. They are the race who should have evolved the most, not the least.

The Mutalisk, HT, Immortal, Tank, Reaper, Overseer, Marauder, and Colossus are unanimously OK right now and should not be on that list.

The Hellion, Roach, DT, Infestor have very minor tweaks needed, like model change, tier change, or an iffy ability.

From that list only the defensive Mothership, boring Lurker, boring Carrier, and MULE-less PT bother me right now.

Well, I'm a little iffy on the Immortal, Tank, and Reaper... but we'd need the Beta to confirm any of these sort of suspicions.
