New patch? - Page 18

Personally, as a Terran player, I would like to see some of the changes in a few of the flaws I have noticed in this race.

Terran:

Battlecruisers - Increased movespeed (Maybe to that of a siege tank, no specific number but it NEEDS an increase, as of now they can be avoided very easily)

Thor - Increased movespeed and decreased size.

Marine Combat Shields - Now affects Reapers, Marauders, and Ghost along with the Marine.

Marauder - Decreased starting hp by 15

Siege Tank - Reduced gas cost to 100.

Marines - Reduced building time back to 20 seconds (Reactor Nerf was enough IMO)

Orbital Command - Can now load up to 5 units.

Supply Drop - Now gives +2 armor to supply depot and +12 Food (up from 8)

Hellions - Attack animation is now smoother and more fluent. (I think we all know what I am talking about)

Reaper - Now have Remote Mines, upgraded at Tech Lab for 75/75 (90 second research time). These mines are placed just like spider mines in SC1 however they have to be manually detonated. (I believe Terran needs this desperately, it would increased their much needed mobility and map presence by a good amount, and allow for much more diverse play in the early game, as well as giving reapers more of a purpose mid/late game)

SCV - Now have 50 HP, up from 45.

Engineering Bay - Turret/Auto-Turret/PDD Range upgrade and bunker/cc cargo space upgrade combined, cost combined, research time stays the same.

Vikings - While in Assault mode are affected by Mech upgrades instead of Air upgrades. Still affected by ship upgrades in flier mode. (Allows to incorporate them better into mech builds)



I don't necessarily think we need ALL of these buffs, but there are many small things like this that could easily be fixed without breaking the game and increasing the diversity of play 10 fold. I am sick of playing Terran with my crappy mobility and after I move out a group of blink stalkers and colossus roll into my base within seconds and fuck everything up and make it back to their base in time to defend my push. Battlecruiser's are so slow, along with Thor's and the immobility of tanks (tanks are understandable they are immobile by nature) But the only mobility of Terran is in the medivac and that is just unacceptable. I take all these proposals in to strong consideration and I honestly think about the downsides of them, I think that the Reaper mines would need testing, along with the Combat Shield buff, and Marine production time reducing would take a bit of fiddling around with and could be re-nerfed but I think it would work out great.

I mean, releasedate is soon, beta closes soon, no units will be dropped or added. Im not saying they are not going to make more patches, Im sure they will and maybe its even one right now which would be awesome. But I doubt we will see any radical changes.

anyway, im not a troll lol, maybe just a bit negative. relax

I would have to assume 3v3/4v4 + alot of new maps are coming in this patch, im just assuming this because they gave out that wave of friend invites with 2 keys in it, making me think they just want a bunch of friends to play together heh

Update:
-The beta database has been reset to help a launch-condition environment. This includes a wipe of characters and indentifiers, friends list, profiles, league placement, and ladder ranks. We thank you for your continued feedback and testing.
