Do not use this thread to beg users for beta access or trade access with others. Thanks. |

I think the reveal for 30 seconds thing is a counter-measure to Swarm Host/Overseer rushes. Swarm Hosts outrange cannons and one Overseer can allow SHs to get rid of Observers easily.

Actually, what its for is how it works with Tempests, a 20 second scan basically gives protoss map control of that area if tempests are nearby so yes observers will easily get sniped but say in late game ZvP protoss scans a broodlord/infestor army and has tempests that army cannot sit in the scanned area which gives protoss map control of that area.

Does the oracle scan give vision or just detection?

That's very observant! I was wondering how they were going to fix swarmhost/overseer since Anaheim. It was horribly broken!

Does anyone know if the clickable alerts on the left side are toggle-able now? The least they can do is make them unclickable!
|
I will find out as soon as this client has downloaded and installed!
|
So wait does anyone actually have access to the beta yet?
|
nope as beta servers are currently down

It's just the background, if you choose Terran, you just get the Battlecruiser orbiting the green planet like you have in WoL - Zerg is the one you see in most of the screenshots in here. There are only those two options atm

So is the public beta started or what? I don't see any news...
