Goliaths. 2. BW is designed for you to fix "bad AI". Basically if you control every dragoon individually, you'll get the job done. Now its up to you if you can actually do that or not. PS. Reaver scarab AI is also not entirely luck. If you drop the reaver right in the middle of SCV's - no bugs will occur. Its only when you want to snipe something from the distance/behind the minerals/buildings wall - thats a choice in a sense of big risk/big reward. Cases exist where Reaver attack range is reduced to one in a certain direction. So viable targets really need to be right next to the Reaver. | ||

As for Reaver jams: Demanding a change is cheap and simple. Actually fixing the issue probably not. What would be your solution? You'd have to implement a better heuristic for ground distance calculations, but only specifically for Scarabs, because otherwise you'd completely change all pathfinding. No they're not. The thing about Dragoon pathfinding is that the size of the unit itself actually changes when they move, because the legs were designed to take up space as well, and they extend when the unit moves. This sometimes causesin the unit the come on top of themselves or other units, which creates the equivalent effect of a worker drill. This was explained by a Starcraft programmer in an interview once. | ||

Giving opinion that something needs to be fixed is what community should do, job of the developers is to fix that. What about the stop dragoon bug that appeared in 1.16 patch, is that thing fixed in remastered? On October 17 2018 18:28 fLyiNgDroNe wrote: 1. Goliaths. 2. BW is designed for you to fix "bad AI".

Controling every dragoon indivivtually sounds ridicilous to me, struggling to fight with goon AI while my opponent execute attack and make a macro round or drop me in the mineral line. If game is played on normal or fast speed yeah maybe its worth doing it. | ||

I am sure you misunderstood something (and I mean: absolutely, 100% sure!).No they're not.

This was explained by a Starcraft programmer in an interview once. Seriously, I actually figured out the probable original source of this particular bullshit speculation some time ago. Day9 asserted it in one of his podcasts and it became very prominent for some reason (my personal best guess is that people actually want to believe it because Dragoons, or Goliaths for that matter, "look" retarded due to their walking animations, so they are inclined to assume there is some kind of "physical reality" to what is actually just a sprite animation). For the engine the Dragoon is but a 32x32-pixel-sized collision box moving at a constant speed, nothing more.

In the meantime we have tanks who can break the physics and can go into each others body no problem. Your misunderstanding seems to stem from the fact that you seem to ascribe some sort of physical reality to mere sprites.They appear to be the same size of a dragoon even they are not the same size actually... For the Engine Dragoons and Tanks actually have exactly the same collision size…Giving opinion that something needs to be fixed is what community should do, job of the developers is to fix that. What exactly? What about the stop dragoon bug that appeared in 1.16 patch, is that thing fixed in remastered? This is also not a Dragoon specific bug, so you should better call it "attack freeze bug". It's only most likely to occur with Dragoons because they have the longest pre-attack animation of all units.They said they'd fix that with the first release of RM, but then apparently retracted, probably because the "fix" actually did not address the problem or had some other unwanted consequences for gameplay. | ||

I've noticed it happens more when you press attack and click on the scv, not so much when you press attack and click the ground near an scv. The dragoon simply stops and if you click attack somewhere else, it refuses to move. I usually press stop and click directly on the ground to the right and left of the dragoon quickly to get it unstuck. | ||

Not so much with pathing or them getting stacked on a ramp, but simply them stopping after firing. It happens to me pretty often when chasing a scouting scv.

Thankfully, it's a quick fix ^^ | ||

Back when i was getting into watching StarCraft games, i watched Flash playing the 2009 GOM TV Intel Averatec Classic Season 3. While Flash pretty much steamrolled the entire tournament, losing only 1 map to Iris/Berserker in the final (earning him a score of 14-1 in the tournament), i remember his first map against Shuttle in the quarter-finals on Heartbreak Ridge. Basically, the entire map got mined out more or less before Shuttle finally threw in the towel. One of the absolutely best Macro games i have ever seen. Semi-final against JulyZerg was also really good, with Flash almost getting killed by an early ling-rush, only to stage a comeback against July. Too bad the VODs of these games doesn't exist anymore But I'm really hyped for the semi between those two!Really? We have lost vods from as recently as 2009? No one has the Averatec games? | ||

I would consider 2009 to be recent, of course. I have to accept that early BW games will be lost, like those from pre-Boxer era. But 2009? Those were broadcast everywhere and I'm sure re-cast on Youtube in English. How could we lose them? | ||
