EPTI don't see how this could possibly be complained about unless you feel you deserve to be at some sort of advantage over the hearing impaired.

You and many others have demonstrated a clear lack of comprehension of the OP if you did indeed read the OP as you claimed. The effectiveness of Nydus is not being changed at all. If you play with sound on normally, then there will be no change since you hear the scream at the same time as you see the text, making the text redundant. That means, yes you will see a text, but you would've heard a scream anyways so you have absolutely no advantage whatsoever just because there is a text that pops up. If you have been keeping up with the thread at all, you will have notice that Blizzard isn't implementing this change as a result of balance, but more as a result of making the game more accessible to deaf players or people playing without audio. | ||

Very impressed with their consideration, thumbs up.  Agreed, blizzard is actually pretty on top of things. Troll's version of Blizzard =/= Blizzard. Although, blizzard still doesn't explain balance changes like they explain map changes. That Kind of annoys me. | ||

Just think how often do you lose to a nydus you missed... about 4 out of 100 games? I'm not even talking about the iffy comparison to nuke because you simply can't compare them. I'm fine with it if it's at the same time as the scream but as far as I see it you would have to give nuke an alert siren to make it fair then. Alternative thought.... maybe just watch the minimap and don't be def. Considering this is targeted at actual deaf people, you look like kind of a jerk atm. EDIT: I failed. | ||

I think the mods should mass ban everyone who thinks this is a bad idea. Would help clean up TL a bit. Well... this would also negate any reason for it to be thread worthy since the whole point of a forum is discussion between two parties to give a 3rd party i.e. the reader a comprehensive view on every aviable opinion. Supporting players who are deaf or simply play without sound is a good thing. As is Blizzards reaction time to a little thread on the bnet forums. But if that also means every player gets extra preperation time against nydus worms, which are already hard to miss for any player capable of looking at the minimap ,then it clearly needs refinement. I'm not saying it's a bad idea but want to point out that the intention behind it can't be to "nerf nydus" or "make it easier to spot". If the text appears before the scream, it's a nerf... it's as simple as that. A nerf that in my opininon isnt necessary (as pointed out earlier) and shouldn't be the intention behind this change. | ||
