Blizzard, do you have any plans to keep experimenting with your game?

Yup, we are constantly still generating new ideas and working with current game mechanics. One that has been mentioned on Twitter and is still something that the development team is working on is the Protoss macro mechanic. While they have not come to any concrete decisions on changes, they are working with testing different ways to make it useful and tactical on several levels.

Karune!!! We thought Ghetto had you tied up in his basement!

Phase Shift.

Q u o t e:



Karune, can you tell us any more about this? Are you guys looking at resource mechanics like minerals and gas or something else?

What are the designers intentions for Protoss macro? What do they like about the current macro and what would they like to change/add?

---

They have no yet made changes that are ready for discussion, but overall, they would like to incorporate more decision making needed by the player, to use or not to use the macro ability. For example, if you are playing Terran, you may not want to call in additional MULEs if you know that the enemy Protoss player could be going for a Dark Templar timing rush. Instead the additional energy can be used on a ComSat in case of a stealth attack.
