Our own senior moderator and otherwise professional game tester for Microsoft, player_72985, took the time out of his busy schedule of gaming, eating, writing and sleeping to visit PAX, and has spent what he basically describes as a hectic and wonderful weekend locked in with fifty thousand geeks. Dream come true, right? wink

As a first snippet of information, he got the opportunity to talk a bit with Karune.

First 5 Questions asked to Karune:

Blizzard Quote:
StarCraftWire.net: Will the Medivac Dropships be able to heal each other?
Karune: No, the Medivac Dropships will not be able to, however, SCVs can still be brought to them in order to repair them

StarCraftWire.net: Will it be possible to play Starcraft II at LAN Parties?
Karune: While the idea is still there, the main focus right now is Battle.net and Multiplayer to determine whether or not LAN will be available.

StarCraftWire.net: When can we expect to see more updates to the Starcraft II official website, and what can we expect to see?
Karune: Not really sure when there will be an update to the site, although there may be misc. updates now and then for units, but otherwise waiting for closer to the Beta to really update the website.

StarCraftWire.net: Has there been a decision on what units will make it into the final game?
Karune: No real decision has been made really, we’re still trying to decide what units will make the cut, as you’ve seen that we dropped a couple units, one of our goals may be to try to keep the unit number closer to to that of the original Starcraft as we don’t want to have a unit be in the game and have it be useless to the battle.

StarCraftWire.net: What is Blizzard currently focusing on in Starcraft II?
Karune: Single player. Single player is still our primary focus right now, as it’s our main concern, afterwards, our focus will be on the multiplayer aspect which shouldn’t be too difficult, with the Editor being our final focus for Starcraft II.
