i lost a game on PGT because of the goon bug, it was 12 goons vs land of mines wif 2 tanks, i click 6 goons to move close to the tank but they got stuck and went idle, wouldn't move when i furiously clicked next to the tank and i lost all goons to 2 tanks and some vults/mines. sigh then he was able 2 push on and GG

btw topic name is "do u ever get fucked by the goon bug", 2 pissed to type properly

yes, i've lost goons on ramps when attacking the terran block.. i dont think that's led to losing any games, just being at disadvantage

i have lost games PvP against zeal rush when i go straight goon against 2gate zeal, and one of my first few goons freeze.. very annoying when you're about to triumph with awesome micro and a bug kills you

Why would it mess up with your probe mining time? Probes just go right through units when issued the mineral command
too easy

me vs zerius pvp

first action of the game

i attack he sucks at micro

i have 7 goon he has zero

goons wont walk up ramp?

I try like twelve times, they go to the bottom of the ramp, turn around, and start marching home

I ask zerius "Do you have dt?", thinking "He must have a dt blocking his ramp.. why else would goons not run up it" but no, goons just gay

Actually I lost a game yesterday because my dragoons just stood idle while a couple of vultures freely obliterated a significant amount of probes in my main. Very annoying.

I've noticed if you click too much for them to move it actually clogs them up even more. Also if they're clumped too much to start with. Spread them out a bit and dont overclick.

I've experienced this BUG playing all races. It seems it suddenly occurs when huge micro involved... never when calm...
