Starcraft 2 #14, Waar de nerf in aantocht is!

Wat is Starcraft?

StarCraft II is een real-time strategy computerspel ontwikkeld door Blizzard Entertainment. StarCraft II is het vervolg op het populaire StarCraft. Het werd op 19 mei 2007 aangekondigd op de Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Seoel, Zuid-Korea. StarCraft II werd op 27 juli 2010 uitgebracht voor Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 en Mac OS X.
Het spel zal in drie delen worden uitgegeven: Wings of Liberty (Terrans), Heart of the Swarm (Zerg) en Legacy of the Void (Protoss).
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty vormt de basis en Heart of the Swarm en Legacy of the Void zijn twee uitbreidingspakketten. Elk van de drie legt de nadruk op een speelbaar ras in het spel.

Elke speler van StarCraft II heeft een eigen profiel op Battle.net waarin alle speelgegevens worden opgeslagen, zoals het aantal keer gewonnen/verloren, de vorderingen in een campagne en de lijst met spelers waarmee men bevriend is. StarCraft II bevat ook een matchmaking-service waarmee spelers met dezelfde speelvaardigheden aan elkaar gekoppeld worden voor een wedstrijd tegen elkaar, vergelijkbaar met de matchmaking-service in Quake Live.
Het spel zal geen ondersteuning bevatten om via een LAN te spelen.Het doel hiervan is het promoten van Battle.net en het tegengaan van illegale kopieën.In mei 2010 werd bekend dat het platform Battle.net geïntegreerd zou worden met de sociale netwerksite Facebook. Hierdoor kunnen spelers gebruikmaken van Facebook om personen toe te voegen aan hun spelerslijst in StarCraft II.
StarCraft II bevat de StarCraft II Marketplace waarmee nieuwe maps en campagnes verspreid kunnen worden die gemaakt zijn met de meegeleverde leveleditor Galaxy Editor.In StarCraft II kunnen ook mods uitgewisseld worden evenals extra content die voor deze mods gemaakt wordt. In de StarCraft II Marketplace is het mogelijk de maps, campagnes en mods te bekijken, beoordelen en van commentaar te voorzien.

Balance Changes

We have several balance changes in store. One general change we’re making is that friendly units will no longer provide vision after being killed. Enemy units previously revealed will no longer be targetable. Now let’s break down the additional balance changes we’re implementing.

Maps

We’re going to be adding destructible rocks to the Desert Oasis map to make natural expansions easier to protect. In addition, the center map watchtower area is being narrowed.

Protoss

We have two key changes in mind for the zealot: the build time is being increased from 33 to 38 seconds, and the warpgate cooldown is being increased from 23 to 28 seconds. Zealot rushes are currently too powerful at various skill levels, particularly those that rely on rapidly assaulting an enemy base from nearby “proxy” gateways. We feel the window players have to scout for and fend off this rush is too small. We also want to address the problem of protoss being able to dump minerals a bit too quickly with the combination of warpgates and Chrono Boost.

Terran

There are several changes in the works for terrans. Reapers against zerg are stronger than expected. Due to the zealot build time increase, reapers would be a bit problematic in combination with proxy barracks, bunkers, and/or marauders against protoss. Therefore, we have decided to increase the build time of reapers as well from 40 to 45 seconds. Fast reaper + bunker, or fast marine + bunker rushes are problematic against zerg. Although this rush would never outright destroy the zerg player, we feel zerg suffers too much of a disadvantage from either having to cancel the fast expansion, or getting trapped inside the main base for too long, so we are also increasing the bunker build time from 30 to 35 seconds.

Siege tanks in large numbers are performing too well in all matchups. In the mid- to late-game, siege tanks are too dominant against all ground units. We want a small set of light and unarmored ground units to perform better against siege tanks. With this in mind, we’re changing the Siege Mode damage of the siege tank from 50 to 35, +15 vs. armored; to correspond with this, damage upgrades will be changed from +5 to +3, +2 vs. armored. This change reduces the base damage of the siege tank against light and unarmored units, as well as the splash damage.

Battlecruisers currently lack good counters from the ground and still perform very well against a wide array of unit types. We’re aware that it is not easy to get battlecruisers out for the cost, but at the same time, it is possible in both 1v1s and team games to create stalemate situations to bring them out. Overall, we feel that battlecruisers are too strong for their cost, and the terran-forced stalemate situations are causing less interesting gameplay. We will be lowering their damage against ground units from 10 to 8.

Zerg

Ultralisk damage is being decreased from 15, +25 vs. armored to 15, +20 vs. armored. This reduction is comparable to the changes being made to the battlecruiser and siege tank. Like the battlecruiser, ultralisks are simply too powerful for the cost, even though they are difficult to muster. Also, in combination with other units, ultralisks are difficult to counter from the ground. The ultralisk building attack (Ram) is being removed because the damage rate is too similar to its normal attack, which will be used against buildings instead. When ultralisks target tightly packed smaller buildings such as supply depots, the Ram attack is actually outputting considerably less overall damage than its normal attack, as Ram only hits a single target.

And Beyond...
