Hey everybody! Haven't you heard? Macro's the word!

Oh the mac mac, macros the word, oh the mac mac mac-ro, macros the word!

But seriously about the thread, why would they announce that? No sense balancing something before beta and the protoss casters are probably NO macro.

If it was a new macro mechanic they would probably say they are in a new addition to the game or are finishing it.

I'm really starting to question why there's no beta yet, strange?

They are waiting for this recession to clear.

Oh noes!!!!!!!!! No macro!!!!!!!!!! This is the end!!!!!!!!!!

Who says that choosing which spells go on which unit ain't part of balancing units????? Thats an important part of the game balance. If not then give the ghost nuke, lockdown, emp missile, detection, cloak, snipe, and burrow....

They are waiting for this recession to clear. Macro!

There, did it for ya.

[ArcherofAiur]

There, did it for ya.

Thanks macro

We can debate all the things that "Protoss casters are approaching the final stages of development" could possibly mean. Personally I think there refering to the protoss macro mechanics which could mean their are multiple macro casters for the protoss.

I think they mean that the Protoss casters are almost ok for beta.
If they don't mention the word "macro", it's safe to assume they aren't talking about the macro mechanics.

Fair enough but isnt the Obelisk a macro caster? And presumably energy recharge also affects all the protoss casters. It seems to me they would need to know whether that ability would or would not be in the game before entering the "final" stage of development.
