lol. Because of a chroned 6pool rush,thats why.

Boost doesn't accelerate buildings, only upgrades...

I was really hoping they would do something about Protoss' AA this patch. Or am I the only one that thinks P have really weak AA?

chrono boostin your ally is BS. it's like i sending my queen to my terran ally and spawn larvae at his CC and he can make terran units from it

boosting your ally is incredibly hard to balance around, not surprised to see this removed.

Man, this is a nice update. It seems very assuredly that my WC3 skills (with my little SC1 training) will translate directly into being good at SC2.


Ohhh Feedback sounds so awesome... haha.


To most people, it seems kind of dinky, but to a micro player, it gets me excited. ^^

I'm interested in the range difference between feedback and EMP. I'm assuming that feedback has a slightly longer range.

To be fair more than 5 minutes of warning was given before the patch. I remember noticing at least 10 minutes but I was in game before that and could have possibly even missed a 15 minute warning. I was going over my rep when the timer hit 0 and it didn't kick me off until I finished the rep :3

I have to agree, overall a very good patch that shows they wont smash their carefully created balance just because of some whining. The Infestor unfortunately still seems pretty useless, especially the fact that it takes friggin 8 seconds to deal the measly 36 damage. If it was dealt in like 3-4 seconds it would be much more viable imo.

I don't have a beta key, but my thoughts on mass recall are kind of negative.

I don't mind that it's a slow mother ship, it'll make the observer experience quite epic to see a mother ship coming in from behind the enemys base in slow motion, the effect of the recall.
But That it's ALL the units...
Think about a tvp where the Terran is half way on his push to the protoss base. Then a recall/2 recalls comes up in the terrans main.
He'll either back up with enough or all of his units. Or all in push the protoss base.

In sc2 the protoss isn't recalling a group or 2. He's recalling all of his units, there's no chance of recalling them back if u'd for some reason would want that.
It's an instant all in move and u have no chance to defend your base except for workers and reinforcements.

We'll see what the effects are on the games in time but I think the game will be too locked when you automaticly recall all your units.

A solution would be that you recall as in sc1 BUT you recall all the units that aren't in the area where you click recall.
Meaning that there's a choice of recalling all your units and a choice for leaving a certain amount of units to defend or attack an expansion of the terran.

What do you guys think, You who actually have played the game?
Not my chair. Not my problem. That's what I say

Chrono boost would fill the ladder with P/Z and there would just be too many different 'imba rushes' you could do that it would be impossible to prepare for what's coming, especially with the gas sharing. Good move by Blizzard imo.

EDIT: Uh and yea SC2 is not even at 1.0 yet, technically you can't say it's the first patch for SC2 but for SC2 Beta.

Nice benchmarks too, seems SC2 is easy on the system and won't require a current-gen system but could do very well with a 1 year old PC.

Its an end-game move. So most of the time there will be at least 6-7 gateways on 2 bases.
protoss can easily get 15 units up with the warp gates for defence should it be needed.

I imagine the 2v2 chrono boost was taken out because even if it isn't a huge advantage, it is probably enough of one that you would basically have to have a P on your team if you wanted to be competitive. Add that to the fact that pretty much all competitive teams already have a Z, and then you have no race variation.

Still, I agree, I thought it really opened up a lot of strategic options.

this means that Ghost= terrans' version of templar= protoss' version of ghost= GHOST=TEMPLAR!
