What is involved in balancing a race in WoW?

Starting stats are overall negligible, then there are 3~ racial abilities. And comparing Horde racial abilities to Alliance, it's obvious they don't give a shit about balance with those :p

(If you meant class, not race - then that's a whole different story)

What's involved with balancing an entire race in an RTS?

Well, first of all there's what, 10-20 independent units. Each needs to initially be very basically balanced compared to the other races. Then you have to consider what units counter what. Then balance every unit's ability. Balance every unit's monetary price and upkeep costs...
They are designing SC2 to be as balanced as possible so it will be THE game for professional gamers to play competitively.

I actually typed that without thinking through... :eek:
But either way adding a new race would (probably) cause much controversy, especially by those hardcore lore fans.

Including me, Blizzard messed up enough in making WoW [IMO], adding a new race would just make me end my relationship with blizzard completely :rolleyes:

I won't vote right now as we only saw the Protoss really.

Once we get a better overall view of the 3 races I will vote.

I'm always tempted towards the mysterious and so I would vote Zerg (since we only saw couple things), but I'll vote later.

Let's wait until they show a bit more stuff! :p

It was a typo, he's asking about original SC fav races...

When I played, I liked protoss. Boy, that didn't last very long. I'm probably the only nerd who doesn't like StarCraft :cool:

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
