They'll just settle this 1 little thing, and then they'll put beta out.

Here's an idea, give the obelisk a new ability to replace proton charge:

Psi charge (cost = some undetermined amount of energy): Ranged ability that increases production speed of a unit or building being produced by some factor for a set amount of time.

- The factor should either be a function of food requirement or resource cost.

Food requirement example:


Units with food requirement of 1 - build time is 50% of normal build time
Units with food requirement of 2 - build time is 65% of normal build time
Units with food requirement of 4 - build time is 80% of normal build time
Units with food requirement of 6 - build time is 90% of normal build time
Structures - build time is 80% of normal build time

All values are arbitrary.

Resource cost example:


Cost 0-99 total resource - build time is 50% of normal build time
Cost 99-199 total resource - build time is 60% of normal build time
Cost 199-299 total resource - build time is 70% of normal build time
Cost 299-399 total resource - build time is 80% of normal build time

Where: total resource = mineral cost + vespene cost
All values are arbitrary.

Just throwing an idea out there, I particularly like it because it's not purely resource based.

Hey, you know what would be really cool?

Instead of a macro ability that increases your own gather rate, why not have one that negatively impacts your opponent?. Like a reverse proton charge, or a big cork that goes into their gas, or manner pylons that drop from the sky. That would be awesome! Not to mention so much more fun to use that some dumb worker buff.

dude, manner pylons that drop from the sky!

Cause its one of the most important things in the game. A mechanic you will use hundreds if not thousands of times in the near future.


i never said anything about the importance of it just pointing out that threads pop up a shit ton on every twitter about sc2

im sure we have plenty of threads concerning macro mechanics all ready.

If they put the mothership they will need to put her way lower in the tech tree because the toss macro unit is un tier 3

Yes the mothership would have to be dropped down to tier 1 like the queen or Orbital Command. I think it could probably keep its massive hit points because of its slow speed. Its attack might have to be nerfed or removed though.

but there is nothing to discuss yet. This is like making a thread titled "SC2 release date!!" then in the thread say "Blizzard knows the day they are releasing sc2 but they havnt told us yet"

Just to settle this, many of us have been debating for months about the macro mechanics specifically the protoss one and if/how they should be changed. Now this may not be big new to you but it certainly is to us.

That would be so overpowered its not even funny. I dont think the game should reward mindless forum spamming over decision making.

obviously they are going to give probes blink so they can reach the minerals faster.

The news of them changing the obelisk mechanic is what we have been waiting for for almost a year now. How does that NOT warrant a thread alerting people of this massive change?
