Can anyone tell me what the mothership core's abilities are? Nothing detailed, just some key facts


I gotcha!

1) Energize. 100 Energy. Fills up the energy of any caster or building (yes, that includes nexus')

2) Purify. 75 Energy. Turns the Core into a cannon with 7 range and 25 dmg. Attacks pretty fast. Lasts 45 seconds

3) Mass Recall! 150 Energy. I assume I don't need to explain this?

It's really excellent design. And I'm glad it can move.

I still haven't seen any convincing mine or viper play yet, has anyone else?

I didn't see the Mine either, but Vibe vs. Kiwikaki series is currently going. In first game that I've watched, Vibe went for mass Mutas, and then transitioned into Vipers and Swarm Hosts, while still had ~20 Mutas. He burrowed the Swarm Host far from enemy base, but Locusts last so damn long that they could've reach the Kiwi's wall. On the other hand, since Mutas have low range, he was grouping them with Vipers, and easily sniped Sentries and Stalkers with abduct and focus fire, then he would fly away. :D
It ended when Kiwi sent ~20 Stalkers to clean the Swarm Hosts, but what he didn't know is that Locusts are damn strong, as he blinked to kill the Swarm Hosts, 20+ Locusts spawned, and completely wiped out his Stalkers.

Few games after that, Vibe went for Hydras and Roaches, and transitioned into Hydras, Swarm Hosts and Vipers. Kiwi started to make Tempests and Colossi, and was going toe to toe with Vibe, but then Vipers started to abduct Colossi and Tempests, and 1 by 1, they all got destroyed, and the rest of the army just couldn't keep with masses of 3-2 upgraded Locusts and Hydras.

The games are pretty damn entertaining. :D

Secret best thing about the beta.

On the maps the mains are actually big so you can get a decent amount of productiopn as Terran.

Well Stephano just beat Nerchio by going roach/infestor/swarmhost against ling/ultra/viper. Vipers didn't seem all that effective really.

Yeah man, swarm hosts are awesome. Those little ranged bugs really bring pain down their enemies.

ForGG got owned hard by some classic mech, nice to see, the new hellions seem much better at covering tank lines from over eager bio.

Just because he lost 1 game with Viper's doesn't mean that Vipers isn't that good right?

Really cool how they mostly invited pros since that way the game will be balanced way quicker.

even if its just beta its baffling how the war hound in its current form made it into the game, 1 supply roach is nothing compared to this

Ah, and in case you were wondering, 2 roaches own 1 warhound.



uhm no?
warhound dps is 23/1.3=17,7 so it's not 17
17.7-1 armor roach mean still 16.7
in 9 secs a warhound kill 1 roach and lose (16-1+16-1)/2(-1 is the armor warhound)*9= 135hp
in other 9 second he kill the second roach and lose 67.5 hp
135+67.5=202.5hp and this without counting the 7 range

Vipers are great, for example the blind thing helps a lot against swarmhosts to be able to kill them, or pulling infestors. But you need to spread them before getting fungaled like a turd ;P

I think its a good idea too, theyll get more "pure" data. if a bunch of newbs like myself would be in beta it simply wouldnt even be relevant data to use in balancing.

i just hope they actually play it a lot, and of course even more important, provide good solid feedback to blizzard.
