LotV closed beta announced to start on March 31 - Page 127
| Forum Index > Legacy of the Void |
Thanks to Reddit sleuths, everyone can try the LotV test maps by following instructions here. Note: This is not a beta key, it is simply access to Vs. AI and a Unit Tester. I have no idea how cool with this Blizzard is or is not, use at your own risk. | ||

Doesn't change it sucks for him, but there'll be more invites tomorrow according to Psione, maybe he'll get in then. | ||

I would much rather play higher skilled koreans, who do not have the beta, on the hots mod if it is identical than play mid-high na gms or popular casters. They are fun to watch, but feedback and practice wise I find it less efficient with only unranked being an option? I will say the faster pace of lotv has been really good and will most likely be a huge improvement. Hopefully it stays that way when the obviously too strong units get tweaked a bit. Oh and the ravager model is hilarious. | ||

I thought blizzard was flagging personalities? apart from destiny, avilo has been a powerhouse of a streamer for sc2 for a long time. Me not getting into the beta is different from avilo not getting into the beta. What's even more weird is that streamers who are fairly irrelevant somehow got into the beta... | ||

He has so many viewers because he was linked on Destiny's stream. Before that he had a couple hundred. | ||

Because they're all making fun of him, they're not there to seriously watch that picture.. EDIT: Also as I said, he's not the only fulltime streamer that didn't get in. It's not Avilo getting fucked over, it's just that they're focusing on a small pool of players and that can mean they're missing some streamers. | ||

at the very least give it an air attack so protoss can have a solid anti muta option, w/ their bounce upgrade protoss would have a viable/fast response to mutas. | ||

as expected adepts arent very good, they dont fill a specific role for protoss. it just feels like a gimmicky early game unit, i mean why would you ever get the bounce upgrade anyways? its not even a mass-able middgame/lategame unit. If they splashed outright they'd be good i think. Maybe not in pvp early game (stalker will beat stalker adept) but vs zerg and terran, bonus to light damage and splash right out of the gateway? It's gonna be awesome unless it's undertuned | ||

It's gonna be awesome unless it's undertuned why would you spend gas on a unit that cant attack air units vs zerg? it delays all ur tech (even blink), zerg can just open hydra and then tech switch to mutas and you'd most likely die to the transition. vs terran i'd much rather open disruptor into collo, theyre on the same tech tree and disruptors drops are much more effective than adepts (you can also support them with zealots, they synergize much better) | ||

People have been screaming for an anti-light splash damage unit from the gateway for 6 years - it's not like it's a weird niche that isn't useful, it just seems underpowered if people would rather spam zealot/stalker/sentry even vs marines, lings and hydras. Plenty of things that can easily be changed: 1; splash without upgrade requirement 2; cost (overall cost, or gas to mineral ratio) 3; build time 4; damage vs armored 5; ability to shoot up 6; health 7; speed 8; ROF/overall damage 9; splash radius etcetc | ||
