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 un-burrowed units being in the same sub-group, and having two separate hotkeys for Burrow and Un-borrow. We’ve also included bug fixed to the Disruptor and to the map Dusk Towers. We encourage you to test out this new change – to do so, just go to the Multiplayer section, and then navigate to the Custom section and look 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 play around with these changes on a variety of maps. Those of you who are interested in trying out the Extension Mod can use the following steps to get a game 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 on the topic.

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!
