LotV closed beta announced to start on March 31 - Page 6
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. | ||

Except for Siege Medivac play, there isn't really anything new and exciting showcased here. BUFF GHOST PL0X! As long as Terran doesn't get the shredder, I'm happy. | ||

Shredder was a bad idea, but it's not that different from the Disruptor (which is sort of like a Dark Plasa Ball btw :D:D), haha | ||

Still think there's a large amount of units that needs rework, even the new ones. But that is not something that can be done within this timeframe at all. | ||

It was ridiculous. Storm is too powerful to be available all over the map at will | ||

I'm ok with the teleport thing, with the way they presented it it's quite different from blink stalkers so we will see. Also, i like that it's not just NEW PROTOSS LAZORZ | ||

Game speed changing to real time also means all game values that are related to time also must change. Eg. When we say a cooldown of an ability is 5 seconds, we want that to mean 5 seconds. This means all attack speed values, movement speed values, cooldown times, research times, upgrade times, and unit build times will all need to be re-memorized Does this mean they basically slow the game down a bit? Right now these "5 seconds" are in fact less than 5 real time seconds. To me this paragraph reads like they keep all the basic stats, but make it real time. Which would lead to a slower game, no? | ||

Also, i like that it's not just NEW PROTOSS LAZORZ As for the little movie, I think the teleport ability needs some toning down. I am afraid that it'll be far too Blink stalker like, both being teleporting units. Why not just a solid non-gimmick unit | ||

Starting with 12 workers means that there won't nearly be as much risk in "sacrificing" economy. I liked those rare calculated risks; this will just reward greed I think. Well BW workes minned 8 minerals instead of 4 sooo, not so much | ||

Adept is kind of stalker-ish in the early game without the need of upgrading blink. Protoss seems to get a lot of addition into this one, also zerg has a lot of new ability also new units and various unit tweaks. Terran on the other hand, i don't really look forward too much about anything new that terran can do other than cyclone since other changes are quite lacking. Looking forward how this will turn out though, i hope the game gets better with this expansion since it's supposed to be the last one. | ||
