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. |

Viper ability:Good vs Phenix and should make muta/corrupter/viper very strong but i don't think its good vs other protoss air units from what i tested. Can be used on collosi but not worth so don't use.
Oracle Ward seems to be very strong
There ways to use:
1. Just place on army automatically stasis army
2 Place and let him run over.
3. Unauto cast the ability and use like burrowed banes.
Wards need detection to be seen.
Double stargate phenix with 1 oracle will be a strong tactic since you can remove from play a portion of the hydras as you lift the rest.
Adept looks very strong early game but is horrible mid/late game due to it being very weak vs roaches/stim bio.Great early game vs marines/lings. Will allow for a strong sangate timing off 2 bases on zerg's 3rd where you will have mothership core and 8 adepts.
Time Warp now has a 5 second delay after casted and then will increase in size allowing it to be dodge-able before the ability takes effect. I don't know what to think of this change but i guess its fine till we see from real games.
Tempest now are alot easier to micro due to faster speed and seem pretty much the same new ability seems kinda useless.
Swarm Host: makes mech alot weaker
Have the ability to manually drop locust which will allow you to drop locust from being hard-countered by heavy viking count in the mid/late game. This allows for micro potential.
Ravager still seems bad vs air units unless fungal is with it but is good vs mech units and destroying protoss walls.
Atm medivac tank has a bug that happens sometimes but also needs cool-down from drop and lift cause you can spam it way to easily with no dmg on tanks like you do with marauders.
Carriers are very strong now and pretty much are like the old host but cost a little bit of minerals.
Lurkers are very good.
Disrupter still broken does 145 dmg which is same amount of health as a roach.
Prism is good we will see if its to good as games are played.
The Time Warp delay thing is neat, I like the idea behind that change.

How are we supposed to know if we got accepted to Blizzard's LoTV Beta?
Is there somewhere on your account that you can check the status or something? I think the first wave of invites (outside of pros/casters/streamers etc) hasn't been sent out yet. Should happen tomorrow. Do they send invites to the email connected to your account or how does it work? Thanks btw
We don't know yet, but yeah most probably a message sent to the email associated with your account.
Edit : desRow said on stream his account is already flagged for the beta. He said random invites (outside of pros/casters/streamers) will know by checking their "account management" page on Tuesday ; if we're invited, the page will have a "LotV : beta" item. We'll probably get an email too.

I can probably replace the entire tileset of the cloud kingdom maps pretty easily. Let me try it.

buffing something's stats into stupid values to make it more than a gimmick is exactly what I'd expect from Blizz

I precisely expected that beta to not look blatantly hilarious. Sigh, I guess they're testing things to see how far they can be pushed...

Wait, what's new with Cracklings, did they improve adrenal glands?
EDIT: Just saw that adrenal glands increases AS by 40%(up from 18% or something like that), just lol.

So ... ehm ... guys?
How mad will blizz get when publishing Lotv as a mod for all those without a beta key? :D

That won't happen, because they will take it down.

LOOOOOL I TESTED IT LMAO!!!! They are fucking missiles XDDDD
I think that more than a change, it's an unexpected mess implementing unit values via the upgrade. It has happened to me many times doing some mods. Some Blizz devs seem to be on a coffee shortage, just look at Ravager values, cracklings, Disruptor, the Adept upgrade (wasn't it 50% damage for each?)
I'd make my bet on giving the roaches the same move speed that they have on ground right now.

They might as well make them 1 supply unit with 2 starting armor and we are back to WoL beta.

Confirmed or just 'should' indeed?
