DT's are not very effective vs Zerg ever in my mind, this change isn't going to change much vs P I don't think 1 base tech, but also while delaying their ability to get an expansion so it cancels out and then proceeds into a macro game. Not much luck involved, although it always helps, as with most builds. Seconds are everything when going DT. Before, it didn't really matter if they scouted it. Now... I doubt it's even an a option against the computer Zerg. If you don't need an evo chamber, perhaps we should be able to make an observer from the nexus or gateway. This game loses so much credibility with this random asymmetrical change. | ||

I can't believe they took away Energize, though. That was seriously the spell I was most looking forward to in HotS. | ||

Also, so many vision changes for all races is making the game have an almost unlimited potential of seeing most of the map at all times. I always liked it when it wasn't all revealed so easily. Edit: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/6864316601#1 Sentry change is apparently their answer to low-level feedback. | ||

LOL@ Hellbat. :D Kind of love it though. Nice tweak to Viper. Guess void siphon will need more time to figure out what to do with it... Still keeping fingers crossed that they might make SOME kind of tweak to the whole sentry/warpgate stuff. There have been quite a few really excellent threads lately about the feel of protoss in sc2... but then I suppose they wouldn't be doing that kind of stuff until they pin down more of the design with the new units | ||

Ah I see because of the mine I guess? You cant compare terran to zerg like that, Zerg loses a drone for every building they make. | ||

Tempest no longer requires fleet beacon and costs 100 less gas. Tempest harass just went from completely useless to.....I'm not sure what. How does Zerg prevent tempest harass at 9 minutes? Do they just stop mining until they get a spire? I think they will have Spire before 10th minute. And it will be only ONE tempest because of their cost | ||

Also spores without evo and purify detecting ? It seems detection is now really cheap and easy to get. May not be a bad thing though. | ||

We have added a new weapon upgrade called Quantic Reactor at the Fleet Beacon which will grant Tempest attacks +35 damage to massive units. Quantic Reactor costs 200/200. The cost of this unit has been changed from 300/300 to 300/200. The supply cost for this unit has changed from 6 to 4. The scale of this unit has been lowered from 1 to 0.9. This won't stay in the game for long. What should Zerg do about a 15 range tempest somewhere in noman's land behind their main at the 6 or 7 minute mark, shooting at the drones? | ||

have they even listend to one of the toss core issues discussions on tl or even on their own side. -Hallucination no longer requires research. Thats their answer to all of the discussions about toss issues. How will this fix that nearly every toss game looks and plays the same . It doesnt matter that:Hallucination no longer requires research. Because they still get to the deatball situation in lategame and need to vortex , because they cant handle infestor/broodloard otherwise.Whats about the collosus, they dont want to talk about that unit even if most part of the toss community wants to talk about changes on the collosus. And whats about strengthen the airplay. Didnt they want to change something on the voidray. I also cant belive that they still sticking with the oracle and ecpecially with entomb in its current form. | ||

 Hallucination. Long time overdue. Let the WoL unit balancing begin! Tempest, love it. Really interested to see it turn out. Viper, love it. Blinding cloud really needed this imo. Acceleration is always good. Spore Crawler... Weird but probably necessary if they don't want to change the widow mine like that. Also with even more power to the early Stargate... | ||
