Similar to Nuke warning.

Going to definitely help defend against them faster, probably have less units in your base to deal with when you manage to kill the nydus worm quickly enough. Thoughts?

Edit: The text warning will only appear when the nydus is finished, along with the nydus scream. This was implemented to help deaf players.

Yeah that would make sense. Can't disagree with that tbh.

Thanks for the suggestion. We took this to the team and it's something we're going to actually implement for you in a future patch. It will be a text alert in yellow, just like Nukes.


edit: i am gonna pretend it is when the nydus is done /crosses fingers

What really? You can kill a nydus pretty easily, where as you have to find the ghost/detect him. Maybe they only want defensive nydus?

Since you only hear the scream of a nydus worm when its done building, I would think you would get the text notification at the same time, so it shouldn't really change anything as far as trying to kill the nydus worm.

It should only be implemented when you have sound turned off.

A nydus can be a lot more devastating then a nuke so I can understand this (tho isn't the giant scream enough?).

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 .

WHAT? Ther are SERIOUSLY people disagreeing WITH THIS?

I mean, because a text at your side makes a shitload of difference when you already hear a scream three quarters away from your block when a nydus is coming.


If you guys actually read the OP of that topic, you'd understand this is made for people who can't listen at all(ie. defs, but also include people who play without any sounds).


That's amazing how this works, Blizz is doing something excelent FOR ONCE and people are still disagreeing. geez.

I remember someone made a thread that no text warning is unfair for deaf players.

Why compare nydus with nuke?...

They could better give nydus 10x more hp so that 4 probes do not kill it in 5 seconds.
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

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:

Since it'll be at the same time the sound goes off, I don't see anything wrong with it.

I think people (like me) assumed the text would appear across the screen with a noise as soon as you start building the nydus (like a nuke being launched). If its just text when the normal noise goes off then yeah, ofc thats fine

If the warning comes after the Nydus spawns, I don't see why this is an issue.

When the scream comes, the text comes. No big deal.

I wish that the zerg evolved vocal cords out of the nydus worm (the smart thing to do), but this will be good for the hearing impaired or people who are blaring music while playing or have the sound turned down.
