Go away trolls, this is a good Idea.

The nydus worm isn't dead, you idiots. It will be more functional for disabled players. Putting the nydus alert at the beginning of the nydus is a terrible Idea. it will screw with balance. A sign of good player is SPOTTING the nydus. It should, however have a text alert.

Very good thing from blizzard ^^ I mean seriously people. It comes at the same time as the sound and it's designed for deaf people. Stop being idiots, this is a good thing :o

I'm surprised people don't understand what is meant here. The text alert is WHEN IT'S PLANTED, not when the units can come out. You don't get "Nuclear Launch Detected!" when the Nuke lands, right?

I'm surprised about this change, just because the worm is so easy to kill D:

Seems to me you are the one who doesn't understand what is meant here.

I think this change is fine as the scream is already very noticeable so why not add some text so you can play to music with the sound off or so deaf people have an equal notice.

I am completely for making the game just as easy to play for deaf people as anyone else. I would like the option to turn off the notifications, though, as so many will end up cluttering the screen for those who don't need them.

Some of the posts are from people obviously only reading the title and not the OP.
Ridiculous.

It comes at the same time as the sound, there's absolutely nothing wrong it.
People should be commending Blizzard for taking the advice and making plans to implement it for the deaf.

If you couldn't pay enough attention to hear the worm, you probably won't have seen the text... It's not going to make the Nydus worm suddenly useless.

And for people who can not hear the sound, this is a reasonable fix. Sometimes when I'm playing in a public place, I can't turn on my sound, so this would be a nice plus.

Yea...people need to learn to read the OP. Banhammers should come out more harshly imoimo

If the text is timed with the sound I see no reason why not. If anything, the nuke warning is even worse (better?) than this 'cause the nuke warns you as soon as the ghost begins the nuke call-down, not when the nuke actually hits. This warning tells you after the nydus finishes building, which is usually a little too late to respond anyways.

If it's when it makes its noise, no problem with it. An earlier poster was talking about deaf people and it would make perfect sense to add the notification, at least for them.

Otherwise it'd have killed any purpose for nydus-worming.
Just do it.

This is a good thing to bring up and I have always wondered why the warning was audio-only before.

but..
omg...
reading this thread and the thread on blizzard was one of the most painful things ever. Do most people look at the thread title, see "Nydus Worm" and "Text Warning" and feel like that's all they need to read or think about before they make a completely stupid, misinformed post.

However I can see people arguing that it's a slippery slope. Where do we draw the line? Why stop at Nydus? If we can justify giving this to nydus, it isn't too much of a stretch to give a warning whenever a mothership appears on the field, and other things like that. Maybe one day there will be a warning whenever the enemy has HT and storm b/c we all know how powerful that is .


There's no slippery slope, dude. Nydus Worms already give players a warning when they finish.

Again, people who don't know anything about what they're talking about should at least load up a unit tester and try out what people are saying before making posts.

that's just terrible. Why do they do this? This noobie friendly stuff is getting just annoying..


This isn't noobie friendly; it's handicap friendly. Players with good hearing already get the warning.

no...Im a terran and i've lost games to nydus worms. It may be few times they are used but sometimes i don't hear the scream or something. I will see the text. It's just stupid leave it as it is.


If you think it's a good thing to miss it then the audio warning should be removed. Right now Deaf people miss it 100% of the time.

In a thread about making the game more accessible to Deaf people you sneak in talk about imbalance. Wonderful.

Of course the posts on us.battle.net are so many times worse.

wtf is wrong with people. 1st, the text will be as noticeable as the nuke text, which is pretty noticeable and second its when the scream comes that the text comes.

but ofc its got to do with zerg so there's drama, :/ seriously, zerg guys, please, chill ^_^

btw, i think this is a great thing, i like playing with loud music and have been nydused all in a couple of times because of that, usually when i forge FE. but then i just wall off the bottom of my ramp with cannons and just push with 4 warpgates

Wow this thread is about 5 pages of misunderstanding. They added an alert that shows up when the nydus worm screams, not when it is planted. The scream is already super easy to hear. This change is only to help deaf people. It will have zero effect on how effective nydus worms are. This should be the end of this thread. It's obviously a good thing and nobody should be complaining.

why is this thread even still open? it doesn't really bring anything into discussion, except for some morons that still can't understand what's going on.

think its a brilliant idea... only reason it's changed is for players with hearing issues... not making the game "noobie friendly" at all

Does that mean I go to the location when pressing the Spacebar afterwards?

Now that could be problematic, I hope it isn't the case. It is the case with nukes I believe, unless they changed it since the beta. Not really a huge problem with nukes because no one uses them but nydus do see the light of day every now and then.

I don't see the problem as long as it's at the same time as the sound. Who misses the nydus scream anyway ? I don't even miss the softer scream you hear when your spire finishes

Try playing while listening to black metal. It's actually impossible to make out.

Nuke launches cannot be spacebarred to by enemies. I imagine they'll flag the Nydus worm similarly.

its when the nydus is finished for all you kids whining about OH NO THE NYDUS IS GONE.

It makes 0 difference whatsoever in the balance of the game, its just to help deaf players.
