Just checking, but is the editor accessible in the beta now? I thought I remembered them saying the new editor would not be accessible until release.


editor has always been available

Yeah, I messed that question up. What I meant was: Are the Heart of the Swarm libraries available to the beta editor yet.


i dont know what you mean by this. all hots units and textures are available in the editor

Can anyone please explain to me what the VR changes mean? Ty!


VR does one base damage now with an ability that does +armor damage for a couple seconds, no more passive bonus to armor/massive units

I think they still have the armored bonus, it looks like only the +20% vs massive was removed, so:

6 dmg + 4 vs massive + 6 from new skill = 16... with 2 attacks / second.... a total of 32 damage/s versus armored units... this is a 90% +buff to the old not charged armored dps.

LOL
I love how Vortex doesn't even work on massive units ---- i.e. there is literally nothing worth considering to use it on.
I get their point, but still, it should just be removed if it doesn't even act like a

Also, it is impossible to guess how this will effect the meta game for at *least* 2-3 months. These changes are so huge, it'll take a while for players to explore the options and various responses.

They need more stuff for toss to "wow" the spectators and not be a boring race to play.

They had an ability to shut down defensive buildings... took it out.
They had a cloak ability (not counting the stupid mothership)...took it out.

Those two above would be amazing to see.

Cloak needs to come back and how about the Graviton Beam can shut down defensive building and it also cannot detect but the Phoneix has to stay there and energy gradually goes down then when the Phoneix moves again, the affects stay on the building for 3 sec.

I would also like to see upgrades for DTs on the Dark Shrine.

Plus, a cost reduction on the DTs and/or a Templar Archives alone can unlock DT tech.

And Oracle harassing a terran? Lol ok, hello 9 range viking! No wonder why it was easier to harass terran in BW...

So proud. This Daft Punk song came to mind as soon as I read the changes:

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it
, mail - upgrade it,
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick - erase it,
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick - rewrite it,
Plug it, play it,
burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, zip - unzip it,
Lock it, fill it, call it, find it,
View it, code it, jam - unlock it,
Surf it, scroll it, pause it, click it,
Cross it, crack it, switch - update it,
Name it, rate it, tune it, print it,
Scan it, send it, fax - rename it,
Touch it, bring it, Pay it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, start - format it.
