If hes oercommiting to nukes thats very well justify a sensortower I'd say. If it allows you to kill one ghost and prevent a nuke it has more than just paid off. Creative use of mechanics I'd say. There are ways to counter it. So why do sensortowers help against nukes again? Cloaked ghosts won't be spotted. On May 20 2010 01:01 DTown wrote: Has anyone else noticed the other nuke bug?

If you press spacebar after the "nuclear launch detected" goes off it won't center on the nuke. However, if your ghost attacked something before the warning went off then it WILL center on that most recent attack. | ||

Only one sound file will play at any given time, they will not overlap. So if you get attacked immediately after the nuke is launched, the nuclear launch detected message is overridden by your forces are under attack. Perhaps blizzard should implement a message priority or something, because knowing that a nuke is on the way is too important to miss. | ||

Playing a 2on2 on scorched haven and I didn't get any warning that I was about to get nuked. Watched the replay and it was because his ally was void ray harassing and this set the "our forces are under attack" macro whilst the nuke went undetected. Maybe increasing the number of sound channels solves this? | ||

I wonder if nydus roar could similarly be overridden by suiciding a speedling into his mineral line at just the right time. I bet they are programmatically the same. Extending this line of thought even further, I wonder of a nuclear warning could be overriden by a Nydus worm scream in 2v2 (probably easiest to accomplish in terms of timing)... | ||

So to review, the ghost is completely invisible without detection, no red dot whatsoever, and 50% of the time no Nuclear Launch warning. Funny thing is I'm still able to stop it sometimes, and I'm getting better and better about instinctively knowing where to scan or obs and catch them nuking. Guess it's helped me develop a 6th sense. | ||

Ahh, well that would explain a few rather confusing nukes I've suffered. In any case, it's pretty much 100% confirmed this is a bug, given the disparity between light settings. Another problems is cloaked units like ghosts/dt/obs/banshees don't make a moving blur like in BW ,so without detection they can walk right through your screen and you can't see them. This is untrue. I know for sure they make a blur with the settings I use (a mix or medium high and ultra). | ||

BLIZZARD FIX THIS. This isn't the Blizzard bug report forum; it's best to provide your feedback there. This whole thread doesn't even belong here, it belongs on the Blizzard bug report forum. Whats the reason for posting bugs on a third party site? | ||

EDIT: Also, there have been multiple occasions where I have received NO nuclear launch detected sound, extremely extremely annoying. | ||
