When I (Terran) scan a morphing zerg building I'm going to click on it to see what it is, and then I'm going to check the progress bar since I'm basically looking directly at it already. Therefore all you've done is made your spire easier to kill  Do better players just ignore the progress bar? lol... I think it is a nice idea, but in practice it won't fool so many people. | ||

That's the point, there's no downside. There's no reason NOT to do this...! except for that dratted wraith build. Also if you varied how much you damaged the buildings you could throw off any "expected" delays edit: truthfully, that is my biggest worry, and only negative thing i can really think of. For a quick wraith build you put yourself at risk. | ||

I am mostly making this post so that I have your quote forever locked away from your editing powers. As for everybody else, keep the feedback coming (even if it is negative, just don't be an idiot like that dude). I am actually quite excited as to how this will impact the community. AttackZerg has already vowed to use this every time so we'll see how it goes. Haha well I've really been shown up haven't I ^^;; I haven't played starcraft for awhile so I guess I've forgotten that the progress bar doesn't show. I wasn't meaning to put you down or anything, but I guess that I can only admit that I was wrong | ||

This could help you use it practically and not have to watch it too much. Although I think the zergling attack sound would give it away to a terran who has seen this, but for pure visuals the zergling is well hidden. Nonetheless, great idea redtooth, if nothing else this can throw just a tad bit more confusion into zvt. | ||

The beauty of this is that it isn't integral to the build. You can do a super standard 3-hatch muta build and throw in this trick. If he doesn't see you doing it you may gain an advantage. If he does see it you probably don't gain an advantage, but you lose almost nothing. I agree that it is better to not get scanned while attacking the spire, but one can certainly risk it. | ||

For a quick wraith build you put yourself at risk. how many times do you play vs quick wraith? O_o if you cant figure out hes going quick wraith by there being no fe you shouldnt be using this anyways. | ||
