It seems intentional to me since PF can't lift off and is generally inferior to OC in that it can't summon MULES, scan, or drop down supply. Interesting find tho... lol yea because blizzard would obviously want to mess up the mechanics of their game and make splash damage do more than base damage as opposed to just increasing base damage and keeping the mechanics intact. | ||

Either the tooltip needs to be updated to 60 damage if intended, or the splash values updated to 1.0/0.5/0.25/0.125 (for 40/20/10/5) if not intended. It needs to be changed either way. | ||

That's just like saying "damage: 4" in the Marine Weapon description when it actually deals 6 damage. | ||

<AreaArray Radius="0.5" Fraction="1.5"/> <AreaArray Radius="0.8" Fraction="0.75"/> <AreaArray Radius="1.25" Fraction="0.375"/> 0.375 * 2 = 0.75 * 2 = 1.5 I doubt that there is an error. The multiplier (*2) seems intentional | ||

Not only does it cost 150 extra gas but also you lose so much more due to lack of Mules and you lose Scans as well. It's also Terrans only static defence that doesn't cost food so it has to be super powerful otherwise T could never FE. i love people who post without reading the OP thus not answering the question. this isnt whether or not planetary fortress is imba, its why the fuck does it do 60 damage when it tells you that it should be doing 40.

He should send it to blizzard and say "hey guys I found a typo in the code" lol. btw how do you look at the sc2 code? the underground scene has come such a long way. i dont think he looked at the actual code, just the data files if u dl WinMPQ or some other mpq program u can open the mpq in the sc2 folder and then u can extract all the xml files to ur desktop. then u can just open it with excel and u see stuff like unit costs, dmg cooldown and i bet there is splash radius somewhere too ^^ to look at the actual game code should be pretty much impossible xd i definitely think its a bug, but since the PF has been running so smooth with this 50% extra dmg its only fair by blizzard to increase the dmg once they fix this lol | ||

They might have some script where they derive the second and third values by halving the previous one. So usually they just enter in 0.5 to get a normal 0.5/0.25/0.125 distribution. Here, there is a typo with entering 1.5, which gets the above values. | ||

http://www.makeagif.com/media/4-05-2010/P_sjbH.gif First a zealot is attacked and the zealot (targeted in the replay) next to him is brought down to 91hp. Then the second planetary fortress shot brings him down to 32hp (60 damage minus one armor), which is what the gif shows. | ||
