Call to Action: November 30 (Burrow Control Testing)
We’ve just published a new Balance test map titled OrbitalShipyard (3.0.5 Balance v1.0). We’ve created this test map in order to explore burrowed and unburrowed units being in the same sub-group, and having two separate hotkeys for Burrow and Unburrow. We’ve also included bug fixes to the Disruptor and to the Dusk Towers map. We encourage you to test out these changes - to do so, just go to Multiplayer, and navigate to Custom. The new test map will be at the top of the list.
We look forward to hearing your feedback and seeing how these changes affect the game, and please remember that none of these changes are final.
Balance Testing Extension Mod
We’ve also updated the Extension Mod for balance testing, so that you can play around with these changes on a variety of maps. Those of you who are interested in trying out the Extension Mod can do the following to get started:
1.Navigate to Browse Maps on the Custom Games menu
2.Select a map and click the Create with Mod button in the lower right corner
3.Choose to sort by Blizzard Mods from the dropdown list at the top of the screen
4.Select the “Balance Test Mod” Extension from the list and then hit Create Game
If you're interested in the StarCraft II Balance Team's reasoning behind these potential changes, you can check out Senior Designer David Kim's Community Feedback Update.
We’d like to remind you that feedback based on playtesting is the most helpful information you can share with us at this time. We kindly ask that you spend some time playing games on the test map before offering your thoughts on the changes listed above.
As always, thank you for your continued feedback and support. Once you feel you’ve had enough time to test thoroughly, we welcome you to share your feedback!
