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:

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
