EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 103
| Forum Index > Closed |
Since this whole topic degenerated into the usual balance flamefest where every topic ends up if unmoderated it's time for it to clean up. Locking this down for a while. Any posts made after my post [page 233] not addressing the changes in this patch directly and containting flames or general balance whine will get banned for at least a week. ~Nyovne There is way too much flaming in this thread right now. Calm down before you post! (Page 271) ~iamke55 | ||

In this the Zerg is probably the worst! You cannot queue up new units when you are already at 200/200. You would have to make 5 queue lines before you are maxed in every production facility and if you can do that then frankly your macro just blows... | ||

For example, if protoss has a army of Voids+colossus+stalker without blink and the Zerg has Infestor+mass ling + broodlords, then it is a def loss for Protoss, when he get fungaled. The Voids will be down even faster and the stalker couldnt come to the broods, also with blink they couldnt, because of fungal! so after voids are down, the broods have free way!!!! So solution for Infestor would be: - fungal should only slow - fungal have to cost more energie (is justiefied, because blink needs more time anyway) - and maybe remove pathogen glands | ||

Sentry Guardian Shield now correctly reduces damage from Hellion, Void ray, and Colossus attacks as well as the Siege Tank’s sieged attack. | ||

It's like making all terran buildings self destruct 1 out of 1000 games and say you are helping to balance wins/losses... Except it's not. You think the 5 seconds build time = every single building you have blows up without being attacked? I sense a butthurt terran... | ||

Warpprisms sound great. And again, as a Zerg player, I think 5 for blue flame is too little. Maybe 7. Seeker missles are great. I have a feeling Blizz is listening to State of the Game  .Immortal and Mothership changes sound awesome while still keeping the game fine. Blink too. Even the Bnet changes are sick! No I don't think so cause everyone on SoTG said they liked blue flame and would not change it. | ||

The greatest problem with HSM is it's poor range and the small damage radius. Fungal kills the raven, Vikings can snipe the raven, even hydras have the same range, so it's a gamble if the raven comes out alive. So you still have the range advantage against mutas... which are still faster then HSM. | ||

I don't really know why we are discussing this, but you should be able to macro while being in a battle. The protoss can not because this would require him to leave the screen. Even with the insta-warp, terrans shouldn't be "too" far behind. | ||
