Digging in HotS resources and found some interesting ability and unit icons:

- here are another 2 different Swarm Hosts - greeny Carrion and purplish with spines Creeper
- remember flying locusts on early arts? They are in icons
- we have 2 icons of widow mine activation/deactivation that are red/green
- found Syphon ability for Corruptor. Don't know is it removed or not
- ocular parasite icon too, but it was removed long time ago

could you please upload a screen with better quality?

so spider mines can't be targeted at all by anything once they are in the air. not by marines nor point defense drone. they are a guaranteed hit. fairly disappointing but oh well.


:/

that needs to be fixed, it means that you need a unit with 6 range to clear them out easily.

do they hit cloaked units when cloaked?


their target filter says Visible: Required
this would indicate they do not hit cloaked units unless they are revealed.


oh well that is some compensation, then again I forgot that would have totally killed observers

I'm actually not looking forward to what this will do to the multiplayer game of SC2 as it is. Several of the units show a clear lack of foresight and direction to me in their design. I hope I'm wrong but I suspect not. The simplest way to put it is "gimmicky" even though it's a bit of a catchall word.

I feel like SC2 only just reached a point of stability and interesting gameplay in the last 6 months, it's aobut to be pissed away.



i am not really worried, you cant expect new units to be added without braking the entire foundation . Question is, will the end result be a better one than wings of liberty? i'd say yes, from a design standpoint

Well that might be true, but not everyone right at the beginning of the beta. There were waves of invites last time.
Starcraft 2 was designed to have a best race. You play the worst one.

Zerus - as we can see, jungles and lava. We saw that tileset, but only now we know, that it's a homeworld of Zerg

Wouldn't it be funny if tastosis would be like "oh btw beta is going live 10 mins after this broadcast"?
Not that I believe it will happen, would just be a nice way of announcing it while supporting gom.

That's where we disagree, I see several units being included in this as just cookie cutter idiot units from some kind of dumb B level RTS developed by people new to the genre.
Battle Hellion and Warhound come to mind.

@MaverCK: Are the Widowmines actually burrowed and invisible? Or just activated and "sieged" without being able to move?
It's better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

I feel like if they took autocast off the warhound it would actually be a pretty decent unit. Encourages micro, but not too extensive as its essentially just spam click every few seconds and you get a decent reward for doing so.

EDIT: That said, banshees to force stalkers in to warhound would make for a really tough 1/1/1 to deal with...



hows 1/1/1 a problem with mothership core defense? stop thinking in WOL terms.lawl

Battle hellion makes sense in a way, if it was its own thing. And warhound could work if there was no marauder.

Thats how I see it.

The one thing I dont like about the battle hellion -- it gains more hp. How the hell does that make any sort of intuitive sense.

And how does that work when the unit is damaged?
