Q: Can you repair lifted-off Terran buildings while they're in air?

A: Yes. It'd be a huge pain to have buildings land to be repaired - you would have to move units out of the way, get SCVs, etc. We figured you can repair Banshees so why not floating buildings?

Q: I noticed you moved the Protoss Immortal to the Robotics Facility. How is that working out?

A: We're not sure if it's going to stick. We haven't been testing this that much internally. The game is too easy going down the Twilight Council, Dark Templar, High Templar path with the Immortal sitting right there. It's a walk in the park to get them. People go that way in the tech tree anyways, so if a Terran player went Siege Tanks the Protoss player would already have Immortal tech. With Warp-In it was too easy to spam and too easy a decision to make. The whole branch was too simple. The Robotics Facility is a little out of the way, the player can't warp them in and has to build multiple Robotics Facilities.

Q: Any plans on making the Protoss Observer not so easy to lose? It frequently loses its place in an army somewhere.

A: I agree, I've had the same issue. We definitely will work on little stuff like that and make sure that everything "pops" with the graphics.

Q: There's no Immortal Hardened Shield upgrade ability in this build. Was that just missing?

A: We tried it a couple different ways. We had it as an upgrade. It did nothing because you could upgrade it so quickly it just didn't make that much of a difference. Right now it's just on by default.

Q: So when you click on the Immortal there's no passive icon?

A: No. Probably what happened is we made an upgrade, removed the passive icon and then when we put it back in we forgot to put the passive icon back.
