Selecing eggs with select larva is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY annoying

I agree, I found it really annoying to keep selecting my eggs, I liked the way it was so I could spam s.

I don't mind the hotkey change much, but I just got my beta 3 days ago so it wasn't really ingrained in my muscle memory =]

i agree this is a *very serious* issue, more serious than anything else for zerg right now.
if they really want a way to select eggs right now, add a hotkey specifically for that, but this has to go.

if you dont understand play a game of zerg and you'll quickly see the problem. every time you're waiting for larvae to spawn, which is obviously a lot, it totally screws with your gameplay, and not something you can just 'get used to' like hotkey changes.

I wish a mod would move this to SC2 general and change the title to something like "Serious issue with Select Larva"

It's horrible and there's no possible scenario where I would rather have this mechanic than the old one. I posted about it on battle.net. I haven't seen one post that favours the new system.

Sincerely hope they change this back in the next patch...

I haven't thought it through completely, but why would they not just change the hotkey for the upgrade? Seems like a way less intrusive to fix the problem.

About the hotkey change: I guess they needed to change this to avoid conflict. W was one of the global hotkeys. If you were to neural parasite a probe and build a warpgate there could be some conflicts.
I agree it's very annoying when hotkeys are changed. However, and I use this sentence with caution, we're still in beta and this is probably the only time in the game's lifetime where they can get away with it. I don't see they doing a change like this when the game has gone gold.

On the bright side it now requires more apm, 100% more. WOW what a change!

But seriously yeah it's annoying and the only positive thing about it is that now you wont be listening to the zerg voice saying "we need more mineraalllzzzzz".

Add my voice to the chorus. This is an absolutely horrible change. Even the Spawn Larva button shows the number of eggs and larva - the number is meaningless. :\

I agree that's a change that takes adjustment, but you don't need to know anything about your larva timing. The select larva icon on the hatchery tells you the amount of larvae you have. It does mean you have to look at your bottom right if you're unsure if you have a larva or not but it's better than spamming 4s4s4s4s until you see there's a larva

the select larva icon now tracks eggs as well as larva. WTF right?

I'd be pleased if the "Select Larva" button looked like an egg whenever it would only select eggs.

No decent player will ever want to look at those buttons.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

seriously, why didn't they just make ventral sacks K?

I think I can get used to spawn larvae being V and no more wireframe macro eventually, but the selecting eggs and counting eggs and larvae together thing is immensely terrible.

But "W was used only for burrow, they could change burrow to B or U whatever but they did mess everything up and select larva system is RETARDED right now.

Burrow W>B
Spawn Larva R>R
Ventral Sacks V> eg. X or any other key

Select larva - old style.

Problem solved but no, Blizzard knows best.

Going protoss until they do something about it. I'm around 700 games down with zerg, no way I'm going through this bullshit. A bunch of my very high level zerg friends are going to do the same as well, when you are in the middle of a goddamn ESL tournament or something you don't have the time to count sheep while waiting for the right moment to spam your production of units, you do it automatically and mechanically and it works, period.

F this, it's the first time I actually rant about something since this beta came out, I got in with the first wave, been very patient with every single change they made since it's a beta, but this? really? V for queen macro is ok but the larvae? -_-

Sad panda going to bed, my 2cents etc...

I played 36 games tonight and after a while you get used to it. It does end up making you click more when you're trying to get a larva that hasn't spawned yet. I feel like it was an unnecessary change since I never needed to select my eggs that often. Maybe other people do I dunno. Burrow changing to R really threw me for a loop and I haven't used it enough to get used to it yet so that's gonna take a while. Does anyone know what grid keybinds look like? I haven't checked yet.

Yeah I didn't see the issue with it before, isn't it part of the zerg playstyle to lose a few games becasue they made that greedy round of drones?

It just feels werid to have that constructing larva there...and unnecessary!

please change this back blizzard!

its very annoying. i have gotten used to the new key rebind for spawn larva from queen (a lot of V now in are buildings -.-)

makes u wonder if they really do test zerg, i think right now they focused on protoss/terrain.

the burrow change ....y??!?!?!?!!? i guess this is why the fucked up the queens spawn larva....srsly fucking pointless changes that annoy every zerg player..

This HAS to be a bug. It doesn't even make sense that "Select LARVAE" button would also select EGGS.
