Pretty interesting.. I can see impromptu creep bridges for hydras being much more viable now.

Wow, overlord highways will be extremely effective in the future. Hell, using nothing but overlords to connect bases will be even easier for that matter.
On that note, no thread for more stealth changes? There were quite a few in the last patches.

Makes taking the risk of putting out overlords for creep a bit more do able. Tho I always found it stupid not to just put a tumor there in almost every situation. Still feel that a lot of the pros don't use Creep Tumors enough.

I think it´s a bug related to changing the way creep spreads.

Of course I would love for it to stay in! Strats that force hydras are way to hard to deal with because creep spread is so easy to deny.

So I can guess we're going to see more hydralisk build orders in the future from Koreans with overlord highways? Sounds the meta game is going to shift even more in ZvP and ZvT.

Have you ever seen the unlisted patch notes? There are always a bunch of random changes that they decide not to list, unfortunatly! Man this is an awesome find! Good work! Lets hope that they keep this in the game for sure!! Time to spread creep!!

I like this, it used to be that generating a creep highway with overlords just wouldnt produce a wide enough highway imho. Which led to having to use way too many overlords that would then get sniped and you would lose more than you would gain when it happened that your army got lost(which is sort of how zerg armies work). But this....this is just great. Buff definitely.

its just not true that it was 2x2 before the patch... 2x2 would be the size of a pylon. i actually think that nothing has changed when it comes to overlord creepspread. its funny how people just believe random stuff when there isnt even a comparision to what it was before...

edit: and the first whiners chiming in aswell. good god.

If it's not a bug they need to fix the speed at wich creep disapear. Overlord pooping creep over an expansion takes age to disapear...if there is more creep now, they must make it disapear at least proportionnaly faster. It's already very slow, you kill creep tumors, creep disapear like 3 minutes later ><

Indirect buff to hydras! But they need more.

edit: But from the picture it doesn't look to be such a big change, does it? Or at all?

Yea, I don't think the area has changed either. It was 100% not 2x2 before, did those creep areas zerg was putting at your naturals look like they were 2x2? Seriously, every player has explicit experience the creep area of an overlord, use your brains.

when I looked at the screenshot I thought the change was that you now see a circle for the max creep range...

I think its the same size as before.

Same amount as before, pretty damn sure too. Best change about the creep spread change though is when a hatch finishes you can now instant put down spines anywhere around it. yay.

Actually the pic in the OP seems quite bugged. Most creep spreads out behind the overlord, which can't be right...

For the rest, it says quite much how many people use the overlord creep spread when I see thread such as this one

So it seems while they fixed this:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=166707

for creep tumors, they broke it for overlords.

The creep size is the same, but it's offset to the left slightly.

even more? what's your initial assumption?

Can you not read? I am just speculating not stating any facts especially since I give indicators like guess and question mark and saying sounds.

This means I can't prove and don't need to prove any thing as it's an assumption and an opinion.

Edit:
Just to explain anyways. I was talking about that the styles will be changed already with the changes like no 2 pylon blocking and phoenix buff. I thought and just guessed it might change even more with this. Doesn't mean it necessarily has to be true or come true.

dunno if this has been mentioned anywhere but terran can't wall in with just a supply depot and rax at the bottom of the ramp anymore. You need 2 depots just like at the top

So apparently nothing changed at all. Time to lock this creep before it spreads.
