Omnidiscussion Topic Brainstorming

You all my or may not have joined in on my oOmnidiscussions be it the Shield one last Novemeber or the one on mobility that just ended. I need your help to decide what the next topic should be.

Please tell me what topics you want discussed and sent in to Blizzard (Omnidiscussion summaries are sent to JonEagle fo inclusion in the monthly report to Blizzard) If I don't get anything good the discussion will be about defenses and I doubt you want that.

So dropyour suggestions and get your voice heard

edit: Spelling counts

 

Re: Omnidiscusion Topic Brainstorming

Map Making and Game Modding.

 

Re: Omnidiscusion Topic Brainstorming

Either the Mothership or the Thor.

 

Re: Omnidiscusion Topic Brainstorming

I did the Thor in December. No posted in it

I was considering the MS but the info is still scetchy on it. Il do one if they give more info beyond "you can now build one"

 

Re: Omnidiscusion Topic Brainstorming

Well then, try Warp-In or something. I know it was part of the Mobility discussion but a discussion solely on Warp-In.

 

Re: Omnidiscusion Topic Brainstorming

There was a bunch of suggestions about how people think warp in would work and I didn't want to focus to heavily on them when I wrote the summary so Warp-in ad other transport-less options could work. I myself am interested in the Mothership but there are other threads on that at the moment.

My original plan had been to do it on defenses with a focus on nomad turrets and the mechanics of the phase cannon.

I have been asked to wait until Blizzard posts their discussion of the month so we have time to think of other ideas. If something doesn't make it in this month there is always next month. I am going to keep this thread open and draw ideas from it.

 

Discuss how the roles may change, for exmaple: in sc1 Protoss were kinda like the dominant race gameplay wise and to me and it seems it may be shifting to one of the other races. Even though Zerg hasn't been released we can still get that primary indication of what they'll do/have and its obvious which units will stay; they may be changing slightly but it would still be that initial unit.

 

Map and Game Interaction?
-Everything from destructable doodads to side-quests in the Terran Campaign.

 

I agree with WIck on the Mothership. The unit seems really out of place right now, and i'd like to hear how that could be remedied.

 

I have decided the mothership is a good topic. I shall put up a discussion when Blizzard puts theirs up (unless a mod says otherwise)

It is always nice to have a backup plan in case Blizzard dos a MS discussion so give me some alternatives. Those would also go into te pool for next month

 

I thought Blizzard already had a MS discussion but no biggie.

 

That was in September. Things have changed since then and it is still a major topic of discussion

 

Don't do a Mothership disscussion please, we don't actually know anymore about it than what we ken from the original gameplay video or blizzcon, either its going to be a unique (in the 1 per player sense) or not and either way its abilities are going to need some looking at.

And I can also tell you how this disscussion would go, a few members who weren't around back when we had the major disscussions surrounding the Mothership will either state their support or dislike of the the Mothership being unique and in response I or someone else will dig up a small book worth of posts why the people dislike the Mothership being unique are wrong. And then either they will agree or they won't, doesn't really change anything either way Blizzard has made that obvious. (I say this because they keep getting poked with the topic and still have not really given a solid response, just little tidbits)

P.S. this is just my personal opinion we don't enough and not enough has changed.

 

Care to give alternatives? The Mothership is obviously one of the things most members have on their minds and I havent gotten many workable suggestions

 

I kinda like EMR's disscussion even though we know very little about that topic. As for a suggestion, what about a disscussion about the direction the Protos and/or Terrans are going with the new units and/or abilities.

 

I was going to suggest the Campaign mode, but I just remembered we hardly have any info on that. How 'bout Multiplayer features? Like matchmaking, replays, things like that.

 

Do not discuss anything related to map making or modding at this time. Choose another topic. Thanks.

 

and once again we come back around to the MS or Defenses.

 

:O O: Affects and changes of new units and concepts as compared to the original starcraft?!?

 

How about the apparent lack of anti-air for the Terrans?

Right now the only ground units that can hit air are the Marine and the Ghost. Air units that can are the Viking (air form) and the Battlecruiser. We can speculate about what can go into the vacant Starport spot, as well as possible new anti-air venues.
