So I'll keep this post short.

You added, when creating this game so that siege and un-siege for tanks would have different hotkeys, for easier control of what you wanted to do.
You also made it so for vikings, one button for land, and one for lift.
You even went as far to make one for the ghosts. One for cloak, one for de-cloak.

Still you left zerg with burrow and unburrow on the same hotkey.

Does. Not. Compute.

I know that perfectly well, but it still does not make any sense for them to implement that system for three terran abilites, and not for the zerg ability.

As a BW player, I don't understand why it is beneficial to have 2 keys for burrow/unburrow, cloak/uncloack, etc. ?

@Jealous, I don't really care for it either, it's for making control of applying siege mode or removing siege mode and so on easier.

I never put any value into this matter, just thought it's a bit stupid that they implement it for three out of four abilities used in similar ways.

I see. In BW it only works in one direction (you select 5 units burrowed/cloacked/sieged out of 10 mixed with unburrowed/uncloaked/unsieged, then press the command, and iirc it unburrows/cloaks/unsieges (also a disparity that is worth noting)).

IDK, maybe they thought that you might want to quickly burrow and unburrow and that each action would be relatively minor whereas sieging/unsieging, cloaking/decloaking, landing/lifiting would be major and not something you would want to do quickly.

@TBone-: I'm not the least bit mad, I'm just confused why you handle your craft like that.

Am I right? If so, you should be used to the inconsistency ^^; Also, major props, brother!

LOL

I prefer breast over wings and legs, much like real life. The latter are too moist. I want that dry and tasty white meat. Who's with me?

well thats a positive development... i think

all the citrus together with spices work to make chicken so much better

i like to think of chicken fillet as a canvas
just fry it and itll taste boring/stale

start adding ingredients and itll come to life and be the best thing youve ever had

oh chicken~~

100% agreed. My favorite combination is lemon/salt marinate, black pepper, red pepper, garlic, and then cilantro as a garnish.

I'm sorry this is off topic, but when I had a horrible computer, I really appreciated having 2 different hotkeys, because I had to hold them down if I expected me tanks/vikings/ghosts to actually follow my commands. Having a toggle would've made this unreliable.

As an update to my previous post, I needed chicken after this post and so to satisfy that urge I had a Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak. The combination is magical and if anyone is ever in philly it should be the second lunch you get (after an original cheesesteak of course)

Since you can change hotkeys in SC2 (unlike BW) I don't really feel like its an issue, now if that wasn't available then yes I think many people would see it as a pain, options though makes it not a big deal. It is odd though I do agree.
