Wait what? I thought they wanted to do things to get rid of the deathball? Adding an idle army button is another way to dumb down the game further and encourages you to just gather up your units...

An FYI, command and conquer has "global select" all units, this is a command and conquer feature meant for "noobs." I doubt pros will use it very often, but still...it's going the wrong direction imo. We will see.

That hotkey is the least of my worries. In fact, it's just simply a welcome convenience to me. Newbs can base their play around it, but anyone Diamond and up won't be using it often.

I'm more worried about the Warhound. Eff that ish.


I disagree. I think Zerg will benefit from it the most/use it the most often, especially when using high numbers of Zerglings that are small and sometimes difficult to select.

Either way, it's quite disappointing to see a "feature" like that being included in the HOTS Beta. Things like that alone show the direction the expansion is headed.

Not to be a negative nancy too much, the game will change a lot of course, and I'm sure there will be more depth, but anything that makes the game "easier" usually is not a good thing.

No, terran will benefit the most. Zerg can hotkey their larva anyways and protoss doesn't need it with warp ins. It really isn't hard to hotkey your units as zerg...


There are situations with Zerg more often than with P/T where you'll have stray lings in mineral lines and you want to just select the lings to get out of your mineral line and not the drones...things like that it'll be useful for Zerg the most because lings are the tiniest tier 1 unit and most difficult to select.

Or the situations where you just made 50-100 zerglings and they are hatching and you either did not hotkey the eggs or have time to and you desperately need to control/double click your lings + box/shift select the rest that are rallying from 4 different hatcheries...it will 100% benefit Zerg the most. Obviously every race will benefit slightly.

No, it will benefit terran more. There is pretty much never a situation where a good zerg has an unhotkeyed ling in their mineral line because whenever they have stray lings in their mineral line they will always be hotkeyed. If you made 50-100 lings and you didn't hotkey the eggs then you're bad. You always have time. As terran it will be far more helpful because you can't hotkey eggs - when units pop out of the barracks, factory, or starport, you normally have to hotkey them all, now you never need to do that.

Why make the other races life easier? Give protoss autocast blink, autocast forcefield, autocast storm and autocast gravity beam. Then we'll be the a move race and use this button more.

just because something is very difficult doesn't necessarily make it "fun".
its the beta.. give Blizzard the "artistic freedom" to experiment with new stuff before condemning them.

Erhm.. I honestly don't remember seeing this option in the gameplay options menu:

Is that what I think it is? Automatic rally set to mineral field at start of a map? xD

yes it is what you think it is

and I want to facepalm at blizzard

rofllllll as if it wasn't easy enough xD


It's entirely possible that they were having some start-of-game lag issues and this is a way of temporarily making the start equal for everyone so they can test better while the lag is fixed.

Laughing about this and saying "lol blizz" seems pointless

Maybe but the chances of noob friendly reasons are much much much higher

Vs ground, which really wasn't the issue. It would have been nice if with good control with the redline reactor Vikings couldn't always just endlessly kite the BCs. Not really sure why they increased damage vs ground from eight to ten.

Niice! Will be playing around reaper openings alot now when they don't require you to upgrade the healing.
Just became that much better against zergs, cause you don't have to worry about taking few hits from the queens.

I believe it was 10 in WOL before they nerfed it. BC ground damage was a little weak, so this is actually a good buff.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
