Blizzard Entertainment shares updates on what they're working on with Star Craft 2: Legacy of the Void Multiplayer beta in their blog site. Aside from the balance changes, they have some things straightened out. First, Blizzard will be changing the in-game clock to real time in Legacy of the Void. Secondly, they are also working on an automated tournament feature for the Star Craft installment. Starcraft 2 development team thinks that the solution to this is a 30 min mark, which determines the winner who earned more XP in the game. In addition, the team also thinks of setting a time limit on standard melee games on a 1.5 hour mark, which is open for comments and suggestions.
"Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void" is presently going through beta tests. Few more tweaks and Blizzard will surely not disappoint Starcraft 2 fans this year.
So stay tuned for more balance updates!
