Omnidiscussion Topic Brainstorming

I agree with ninerman. We could discuss Terran AtA or perhaps the new Marauder.

 

We've discussed the Marauder already. I'd rather the topic about Terran and their lack of AtA or a discussion of Terran technology and the utiliization of various things available to us now which could create more tactics in game and make the Terran that bit more unique. (relate to my topic on it)

 

I think Terran Air Power might be a good discussion.... but I would make a list of like 4 topics and then see what info Blizzard releases. Your chosen discussion topic might be obvious from that information.

Just don't discuss map making in any fashion.

 

How about Micro vs Macro in SC2? It looks like a big issue with some gamers right now.

 

That one could work but wasn't that touched upon in the Official discussion. I didn't partake in that but Jon touched upon that a little in the writeup he just posted

 

Add individual unit dynamics (discuss how each individual unit affects gameplay and brings in new tactics to each race, also how the unit its self has a profrane effect in the game and if it fits lorewise)

And yes make a poll :]

 

Re: Omnidiscussion Topic

I voted The effects of the new units and dynamics on the playstyles of the races as we could discuss how each individual unit affects gameplay and brings in new tactics to each race, also how the unit its self has a profrane effect in the game and if it fits lorewise.
Pros and cons on specific units.
How to fix these cons or balance the pros.
How the actual attack can change tactics (instead of giving it a flashy ability)

Could we have a side topic of Auto cast also, as theres new abilities being released I'd like to have a group speculation on the effects of this and how auto-cast will change the way they are used.
I am not for Auto cast, I think it simplifies the game and lessens tactics, although a pro doesn't have to use (or do they?) it and it allows newbs to fairly progress in the Starcraft universe I think it is better to have full control on where and what the unit casts on.

 

Re: Omnidiscussion Topic

They all seem like decent topics besides the Mothership because it has been done so many times it isn't funny and not much has changed.

 

Re: Omnidiscussion Topic

Defences is the one which would be the most interesting, the rest have already been discussed and/or are a bore.

 

Re: Omnidiscussion Topic

I think "The effects of the new units and dynamics on the playstyles of the races" should be nice to collect to one topic, it is interesting, and lets members use their creativity to find out what tactic would they like to use.

 

Re: Omnidiscussion Topic

Wow.  I am surprised.  3 people sugested the MS as a topic and it is at 0 votes



Thanks for the merger

 

Anyone else gonna vote?

If Blizzard doesn'tput their discussio up by this weekend I think I will start mine nd if by some freak of nature theirs and mine are the same they can just be merged

 

I voted for Terran air power even though I'm a Protoss player. Until we have more info on Zerg I don't think we can really go into defenses or playstyles of races since a new mechanism for the Zerg could change how everything works.

 

Right this month will be Terran Air Power.

This thread will remain open for you to make suggestions for next month and the Omnidiscussion will be up cometime tomorrow when I am less busy.

 

Hey this is serious topic.

Take the eyes to space junk.



LOLZ BTW

 

I'm sorry BoP, I couldn't resist.

Maybe the next topic could be about the Nomad and how drone construction works. That or why the Predator was taken out.

 

YES we are open
Please leave topic requests for the March Omnidiscussion

 

I think that an Omnidiscussion about overlapping roles would be nice.
How far may units overlap each other? For instance, the Viking and a possible ATA fighter for the Terrans. How would that have to affect the attack styles of the Viking?

Or the Hydralisk for instance, if the GTG attack would be a melee style attack, how different would it have to be from the Zergling's attack and wouldn't it make the Ultralisk somewhat obsolete in some aspects?

You can of course think of many more examples of overlapping roles, but I think this will do for now.

_________________________________________________

Another interesting subject might be the unit cap.

A limit of 200 seems not enough to me. People want large battles, just look at games like Supreme Commander, the gameplay works and the game is selling really good. I am not talking about thousands of units here, but I think that Blizzard can do better than 200 Zerglings at the time.

If the unit cap would be raised up a lot, then balancing it wouldn't be that difficult. Just raise the needed "food" per unit for Protoss a lot, a little for Terran and leave it like it is for the Zerg.

Blizzard added a lot more available recourses per battle in Starcraft 2, (more kinds of minerals and stuff like that) more units are just a logical next step in the development in my opinion.

_________________________________________________

I could come up with a lot more ideas, but I just wanted to point out some stuff that wasn't already discussed in other topics. The next Omnidiscussion should be one that starts out with everybody being sort of neutral, not like the Terran Air Power one, everybody had already discussed it before in other topics.

 

How does infestation sound for a topic?

 

You could take that one, infestiation and corruption, so it has a bit more to discus!
