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.

Truly immortal. That indeed sounds stupid and is probably something they played with before deciding it was silly

Or more than likely a campaign only ability

Didn't think about that, that's more likely yes.

I think the problem is that the game is treating this as debugging a map through the editor, which means it is -extremely- picky about what it loads. If something has an error, it stops reading and tells you. There are five minor errors in the unit data, which wouldn't normally affect a game (or stop it from loading anyway), but which may be preventing loading LotV assets through drag n' drop.

Specifically:
Too many CAbilAttack abilities for 'Nexus'.
Too many CAbilStop abilities for 'ThorAP'.
Too many CAbilAttack abilities for 'ThorAP'.
Too many CAbilMove abilities for 'ThorAP'.
Too many CAbilMove abilities for 'SeekerMissile'.

So you're thinking that by removing the extra data the LotV dependency will load instead?

I've played nearly 350 1v1 ladder games this season. Hope to god that's enough to earn a beta key!

Had the same, close StarCraft 2 in the background. Close the Bnet launcher, start it up again.

Yeah, tried that just now, didn't work. Going to try a few more things and go to bed, I think.

dcemuser, could you maybe check the attack dmg/speed stats of the Adept? : c

Adept weapons:
<Range value="4"/>
<Period value="2.25"/>
<DamagePoint value="0.4"/>

Yeah, I'm done for the day. Here's what I got atm.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/95lf8w4efc7rv51/Cloud Kingdom LE LotV.SC2Map map that has LotV tooltips (loads custom dependencies in order: Liberty, Swarm, Void). Not sure why units/buildings don't offer LotV stuff. If somebody is bored, try adding triggers to spawn units by name or something and see if it can spawn the units in that manner, or make custom command cards to spawn try spawning them that way. Can even replace SCV model with some LotV unit to test if assets are loading properly. Lots of things to try, just tired atm.

GameData xmls for LotV (in case somebody wants to look up something or whatever): http://www.mediafire.com/download/bqygglq9olllhvk/LotV GameData XMLs.zip

What they added a damage point to the new toss unit. Maybe we will see damagepoint/backswing across the board in lotv? Would be sick.

Adept model looks stupid. Needs a redesign (so does the Disruptor).

Damage Point is something all units have, check JaKaTaKs newest video on that one. It's nothing new.

Some Cyclone stats from my cursory inspection of the gamedata.

Cost: 150/150/3
Speed: 2.8125
HP: 200
Armor: 1
Damage: 18 (+2)
Cooldown: 1 (.6667)
DPS: 18 (27)
Range: 6

AFAICT lock-on reduces the cooldown to .6667 from 1, has starting range 6, and leash range 15, but has a 6 second cooldown, There's an upgrade that boosts the range to 9.

The cooldown means you _really_ want to babysit this thing and make sure it's locked on to the right target, otherwise you're wasting a ton of potential damage.

Drag-n-Dropping any map ontop of the SC2Switchers gives the "You can't play this map on Starter Edition" error... What do I do to fix this so I can check and see the progress here? =)

EDIT: Yes, I own both WoL and HotS.

Ye, its true and i kinda knew that but 0,4 damage point seems higher than "normal" somehow, could be wrong tho.
Marines have almost instant damage point for example.

Don't think this has been posted yet. Someone on BNet forums pulled all the unit stats and managed to add them to the game.

it should be really good in archon mode (as we saw at blizzcon) since if someone else is macroing for you this isn't a problem.
