I was streaming some HotS Custom earlier. Stream is a bit choppy though due to my internet connection. Check out my VOD. http://www.twitch.tv/natengall/b/325913241 | ||

Check out my VOD. http://www.twitch.tv/natengall/b/325913241 All of your mates are just launched map to test some new stuff, and you just killed them like a bronze players. Those games were boring, because I haven't saw any normal battles in your matches. Also, you really forgot that Blizzard turned off warping to high-ground. | ||

You really should change model of locusts from hydralisk to something other. And bring back Queen model, just cut off those talons. And change atack animation of locusts to roach, because those hydralisk spines are hard to see. It's maybe ok for hydralisks themselfs, but it's sometimes hard to see, what unit locusts are atacking at a moment. In unit tester, you should replace Mothership Core woth Mothership unit itself. And remove Odin unit, that not works. And in unit tester you're deleted workers at the right side. Where are they? If you're able to edit unit models, can you delete spines from Lurker? And add small green eggs or just remove spines? Plus, you're better fix terrain on Howling Peaks, because it's possible to see in fog of war, where enemy placing his building. You must do flat terrain on that map. | ||

This includes every HQ spot, every choke, and almost entire main. | ||

In addition, I recommend two things for the aesthetics - 1) change the cliff type from what looks like Xil, to Ulaan. it matches the tileset much better. 2) this is a bit more nitpicky, but Howling Peaks in particular has a creep hole texture in its tileset. if you want to improve the remake(which is frankly already very, very good), this is another detail you can add, try borrowing Aiur's creep texture for it. | ||

Also XenoX MUST delete clouds over main -_- Or if you love those clouds so much, move them to air area at back side of base. | ||

The main problem that this comes with is that it still thinks that all buildings should have the ability to attack (and therefor have an attack hotkey). This comes from the time when the Arc Shield was still available on the nexus, letting things like gateways and forges etc. have an attack. The reason this is troublesome is that the hotkey I have for attack (which is F) I also use for creating units out of buildings (like zealots, getting armour upgrades, making tempests etc.) so there is a constant clash between these things. Either I have to have the general attack command unbound and click the icon everytime I want to attack move, or I have to have the hotkeys for making these units/upgrades unbound and click to do my macro. As I said, I don't know if this is to do with the map, or it's simply that battlenet has somehow remembered that these hotkeys used to be bound to something. Anyway, my request is that you remove the hotkey for attack on buildings if it is somehow still in the mod, hidden away somewhere, but not active. I'm hoping that it's because they are left-overs from the previous version that can easily be taken out, because they're causing me a headache! Thanks for all your work on this mod! | ||

I have a completely custom hotkey setup, and as such, whenever I play a custom, I have to remap the hotkeys in the custom, too. The problem with playing this custom is that it still asks for me to remap the hotkeys for the last custom version of HotS that you had, including things like the replicant.

Small detail, but still... love the new animation for the matrix, though. Yes, it is intended. Blizzard said that they didn't want for Pylons to be used that way, because they are used more that way than Warp Prism. | ||

And for obligatory, pointless, balance talk: How is mothership core supposed to be balanced? I mean i can basically chrono boost everything, all the time. I mean i love it since it add an additional mechanic to protoss macro that widens the skillgap but it just seems broken compared to the other races. Anyone have any thoughts on this? | ||

I think, they will remove energize ability or make it more expensive or later (like at cybernetics core) | ||

Can some one confirm/deny Corrupter abilities and how they have been changed because right now corrupter has no abilities. And do Zerglings still have adrennal glads? Energize: I don't know if too many use it right now apart from energizing nexus. I hope they replace it with the shield battery shield recharge ability. Played a game with a mate earlier and lost to tempests  . Tempests and Swarm hosts are fun against the AI too because they don't really know how to handle em. | ||

1) Is Viper's abduct range correct? Looks like in Battle Report it was bigger. Can you check it again? 1.5) Make Abduct tentacle more thin, it's very big now 2) Ultralisk charge glitches sometimes, especially on creep tumors. They just stuk under creep tumor 3) I think, you should replace Locust unit model (small Hydralisk) to Scantipede. They fits better to HotS Locust style. And add atack animation from roach or from Hydralisk from SC2BW map 4) Remove clouds over main or move them to air zones 5) Make terrain on the map more flat like on any ladder map. With current terrain it's possible to see where enemy is placing building, because in fog of war without revealing you can see, how it flatterns under placed building 6) Delete spines from Swarm Host (lurker model) head and maybe add some tiny green eggs, like you did with Occular parasite previously, just many of them 7) Revert back Queen and delete claws. Current queen looks a bit ugly 8) Contact with SoulFilcher, he got a very nice icons for all abilities. And probably replace Oracle unit icon, The current one, that is green, doesn't fit to unit itself 9) Can you try to add creep snake animation with the next update? 10) Change Viper portrait from Mutalisk to Brutalisk. Brutalisk portrait better fits to Viper unit, because it has no eyes too and "face" of that creature is similar to Brutalisk 11) Make changeling drop slower. Probably at infested terran speed. 12) Flip vertucally helion at the backside of Flamer when it's in Battle Mode. Picture above 13) Revert back pylon power field, or make the current one more transparent and and less distracting 14) Change lighting on Howling Peaks to standart nigh or any other, just change angle of lighting. Currently it makes slime on creep more white and it's hard to see units on creep. 15) Change creep tileset from brown to grey, like on standart maps 16) Add radius showing of: -- Swarm Host with and without locust lifetime upgrade. I mean, show maxium radius, where locust can reach before they die -- scanner sweep -- preordain scan -- stealth field of Oracle -- Abduct -- Blind Cloud Thats all probably And do Zerglings still have adrennal glads? Why it should be removed? o_0 Energize: I don't know if too many use it right now apart from energizing nexus. I hope they replace it with the shield battery shield recharge ability. Nah, protoss already have slowly recharging shields. Can some one confirm/deny Corrupter abilities and how they have been changed because right now corrupter has no abilities. Isn't corruption still here? | ||

When I see hydra, warhound is the best answer. When I see swarmhost, hydra is again the best answer. Against roach, tank is a little better in siege mode, but warhound is mobile and fast. Versus mass marine, warhound holds up well if you engage in a narrow area. Against protoss, well I haven't played a live player yet, but the unit tester says that warhound is bar none, the absolute best unit to build at all times against protoss. Yeah it´s a really good unit, but the immortal is kind of decent against it, especially if you use some weaker units to bait the missles. The missles are really good to get rid of the hardened shield. | ||
