with that cleared up the only other point anyone made was On March 25 2011 08:34 Sceptor87 wrote: 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. Now this is ridiculous for two reasons, one you think that people will notice the text not the giant scream, I have not actually noticed the side text in a SC2 game since, well ever, and second, this means that you're relying on your opponent screwing up massively to implement these strategies which means they're pretty bad strategies and Blizzard shouldn't be balancing towards them, as Blizz has stated they balance towards the pros and high tiers. | ||

The game has, by design, various levels of notifications and alerts and they are all not equal. Some are audible sounds, some are vocal warnings, some are flashing graphics, some are text messages. On top of that there are the split second indicators you have to pay attention to, like something skimming the edge of your vision on the current screen or mini-map. This is a design change that takes what was an audible sound that could be missed and changes it into a text message that is virtually impossible to miss. Their reasoning may be sound but people with perfectly good hearing are affected as well. | ||

Because I seriously can't believe the number of people that are whining because they think that the text will appear when the nydus worm is planted. I expect this sorta thing from /b/net. As a matter of fact, bnet are actually more in support of this idea than TL is. -_- The stupidity in this thread is mind-boggling.

I say again, how could anybody possibly miss an earth-shattering scream, but catch a small notification on the side of their screen? | ||

People are complaining based off the thread message and not the actual Blue post, it is pretty stupid that people would rather look stupid than read a little bit | ||

No offense but how the hell would the Nydus spawning faster change this at all? You would still hear the sound and see the text when the nydus is finished. It's not gonna make a difference if the nydus spawns faster if you still only notice it when you hear the sound. | ||

This is a totally reasonable change, only one person has brought up anything that it might effect gameplay-wise, and even then it's not a huge, huge deal. Take your time and read people. Good grief. >< | ||

Personally I think it is the right choice by Blizz, and it hardly makes that much of a difference for regular players. You would have heard the sound at the same time as you get the notification anyway. And usually if you haven't spotted the nydus before it gets up it's too late. One thing I'm not sure about though, is the sound from the emerging nydus based on distance. e.g. you put a nydus in the corner of a big map well away from the opponent. Do they still hear it emerge? Or if the enemy is watching near your base and you nydus behind his, does he not hear it because his sound is only from proximity of your base? Either way, not a big deal. | ||

How is that miss able? As opposed to a little box on the far left side that just says "Nydus"? It's for deaf people. Get over it. | ||
