I disagree the baneling is a very good defensive unit to deal with speedling attacks :O | ||

One year from now they will announce that the Lurker is being included in Heart of the Swarm because "we listened to the fans". Then they will go on to talk about how incredible and cool this *New* unit is, how much it adds to gameplay yada yada yada. It is yet another example of selling us our beloved ten year old game back to us bit by freaking bit. I really, really, hope they don't add it in via an expansion after all this. When AOE III was released they talked about how they made the American Indian tribes as small allies you could get throughout the game. They then listed out all the reasons they hadn't made them playable races including not advanced enough to compete with the newer technology etc. What was the first expansion they released? WarChiefs with all new playable American Indian races. I never bought the expansion despite owning all the previous AOE games, and that was my number one reason. If you have a valid reason for not adding something, fine, but don't add it in later ignoring everything said before. | ||

Honestly, I don't miss it, though. It's great to see new things on the table instead. | ||

GameStar: One thing we wondered about is that you moved the broodlord upgrade from the mutalisk to the corruptor. Why? Dustin Browder: We noticed that the corruptor needed a way to stay in the game after I swept the sky. So if I fly around with my corruptors and kill everybody, what's use are these corruptors any more? Yea, I thought people already knew Blizzard had no idea what they're doing? | ||

Do we even need to pull out the quote saying that Blizzard was ok with the mothership not being used except for "OMG LOOK HOW MUCH MONEZ I HAS"? To recap Lurker slight overlap with Baneling = Not Acceptable Mothership being useless = Acceptable! Maybe if the Lurker had been more glamorous and shiny... + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm269/stebo88_photo/AttractiveLurker.jpg) | ||

But seriously if they add the Lurker into Heart of the Swarm without MAJOR, SIGNIFICANT changes I am going to continue my boycott. | ||

This is like half a year old before beta came out. Check the upload date at the very least... So since the unit is already made it might be seen in campaign, but it's not going to be in multiplayer. | ||

That's like the alpha version of the game. It's already in singeplayer and they tried to integrate it to the multiplayer but it just didn't find its place. | ||

Its in the SP. Oh and the video is there since 2008 when the lurker was still a MP unit and part of the swarm  . | ||
