EPTThe 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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. On March 25 2011 04:47 On_Slaught wrote: 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.

Players with good hearing already get the warning. On March 25 2011 05:05 Sworn wrote: 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.

User was warned for this post 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. | ||

Not really a huge problem with nukes because no one uses them but nydus do see the light of day every now and then. 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. | ||

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