As long as you cant hit space to center on the Nydus worm after the announcement I don't see any problem here.

is there some way to turn off those text messages? It often happens that I'm micro'ing a drop and accidentally click on one of those messages and end up in my own base.

Excellent, excellent point.

If you could find the Nydus worm immediately by pressing space, this would be huge. Especially in lategame-situations when you have multiple bases.

Why is it so difficult to actually read an OP before crying imbalance?

Yes nydus sucks, but this has -nothing- to do with it, it has to do with not disadvantaging deaf players and giving people the option to play with sound off.

I like to think the source of the knee jerk outrage isn't caused by TL rewarding people with large post numbers, but the fact that this happens in EVERY thread about any change that has -nothing- to do with actual gameplay makes me wonder.

Yeah I don't see how this is a big deal. If you don't have sound on for whatever reason or if you're deaf you shouldn't be at a disadvantage. And if you miss Nydus with sound on, you're probably going to miss the text alert as well.

Good decision, making the game all the more accessible for all people, I agree
Originally, I thought it was an alert as it was placed down (like a Nuke at laucnh I guess)
Silly me

i dont look at the notifications on the side of the screen anyway, so the added text makes little difference to me. I still think my 2 hatch nydus rush will work well enough :p
The same as the larva spawning text has made no difference to me unless i actively look for it. should get a larva injectless hatch symbol like warpgates but we cant make it too easy for the swarm

Everybody arguing that this makes it easier to know when a nydus pops up has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

Think for a second. Why would Blizzard implement a blood curdling scream when a nydus bursts through? Because it sounds cool?

No! You're SUPPOSED to know when it pops up!

Let me say it again.

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN IT POPS UP.

All this change is doing is giving hearing impaired people a chance to be notified as well. And you people are bitching as if Blizzard are completely removing the nydus worm as a viable tactic -_-.

Let's go through a few scenarios

1. Person with no hearing disabilities, playing with sound. They hear the scream. You really think the text makes a difference?

2. Person with no hearing disabilities, playing with no sound. Instead of being completely unaware when a nydus comes up, they now get a small notification on the side of the screen. They have far less of a chance to detect the nydus than if they were playing with sound - It's just now no longer impossible.

3. Person with a hearing disability. Instead of being unfairly handicapped compared to non-deaf people, they are now notified when a nydus pops up, just like everyone else is.

How the hell are you people against this? Once the nydus bursts out, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AWARE OF IT.

I think this is a really good idea, not for any particular reason other than is there even a way for deaf gamers to find out if a nydus is coming? With a nuke at least you have the the text warning. It gives deaf people a better chance of noticing at least which is never a bad thing and it makes the game more accesible to them. There's already text for like upgrade complete and the flashing box on the minimap to show when units are done. I think there's even text for building complete so this makes sense.

Its not like people heard that unearthly scream and thought ''Oh, a worker has finished building. Lemme build a few more.''

Very thoughtful from Blizzard.

R.I.P Nydus


QQ more plz.

O.T. The text messages is something I dont notice most of the time. For me the Scream will still be the sign to move and not the message.

Good for deaf people tho. One of my friends is near deaf and he should be able to play sc2 imo.

Blizzard is doing this because of this guy. It's a simple accessibility issue that doesn't significantly affect the rest of the game.

I support this change and think it's great for those who are hearing impaired.

initially i was like, "Isn't the roar enough?????"

but after reading some of the posts, i realized that the game has become more accessible for deaf people.

way to go blizzard,

This is actually good, because sometimes the nydus worm scream doesn't actually play or plays late like other sounds (notification sounds not being played on time is a persistent issue since beta)
