Might be helpful for the times you want to play with music instead of/with game sound.

Rofl, as if these weren't used little enough already.

Seriously, how often do you even see Nydus in competitive games, let alone actually get one off? Most maps are way too small to actually hide this effectively.

So first they add a sound, now they add TEXT?

You can kill the thing with your workers alone ffs.

Lol.

I think this is fine. I don't get how anyone is having a problem with it. Which person is going to go "Huh? What's that scream? Meh it's probably nothing. Oh wait, what's this say? *reads small text on side of the screen* - OH SHIT A NYDUS."

I mean, come on. The only difference this'll make is deaf players will actually have a way of knowing a nydus popped up.

Good change. I don't see how you can possibly disagree, to be honest.

I can understand where they're coming from, but I do see a problem with it.

Imagine a battle. In this battle a Zerg player pops a Nydus in his opponents base. Now sometimes, not always, this might get neglected by the opponent and their base will get absolutely crushed, demolished, and destroyed. They'll lose right then and there. But now imagine that same battle playing out. That same opponent will neglect the sound. But now there's a fucking text message telling them that there's a Nydus active.

And not only that, on some maps with an island expo like say Scrap, a zerg player might want to use a Nydus to sneak an expo in instead of meandering about with Overlords and dropping shit. Now that very same warning will tell them that there's a Nydus up if they have ADD and don't pay attention to the sound.

But because the message shows up at the same time it screams I'm not fully objected to it. There could be problems though. It could be something to reward lesser players. Again.

On several occasion I have missed the nydus sound because I was heavily focusing on a certain task (like harassing). A yellow warning sign would have probably helped xD

Again, how could anyone possibly miss the sound, but catch the text?

The only way they could is if they have the sound disabled. If they do, then the text is fine, because otherwise they'd have no idea the nydus popped up.

So, you believe it is fair that people with ADD that don't notice the sound to NOT know that a nydus is popping?

When would you ever make a Nydus and assume they won't notice the sound anyway?

Wait, how does this reward lesser players?

If it only gave a text message, but they then later added sound, THAT would be rewarding lesser players. As long as you have sound on you will always know when a Nydus pops up. Always.

This change was made, firstly, for people who are deaf.

I was a little uneasy about this when I thought it would be when the worm starts spawning, but a text warning after it pops is fine. It's not supposed to be sneaky at that point, you're supposed to be able to hear the scream and know what's up. If you're deaf, or just have sound off, and can't hear it, there's no reason you shouldn't be made aware in some other fashion. I pretty much filter out those text notifications anyway, since most of them are useless information.

I'd be fine with this if Nydus spawned slightly faster. It really is tough (and grossly underused right now) to get one off due to the obnoxius sound warning.

It's not for newbies, it's for deaf people. How can you disagree with that?

This is dumbing NOTHING down. It is absolutely no different from the scream aside from the fact that the warning appears in a different way. Please read before jumping to conclusions.

@Above post: considering that the scream occurs after the Nydus is finished, I have no idea how it has any effect on getting one down.

actually nydus is very OP as it is. You get to throw infinite amounts of zerglings into enemy base, while you engage armies in a linear fashion through the middle. Lots of population would be freed as the armies collide... more zerglings. Nydus brings opponent's naked base to zerg's front porch.

We already never, ever see nydus worms in high level play. What's the point of making them even worse?
