hellions no longer freeze when in range of ling when hunting on attack move, quite major

scvs no longer get "i cant build there" when going to build a building somewhere but gets intercoupted by a land or a tech lab reactor going down to make them move. this makes macro easier cause u wont have to reassign scvs what to build after being issues move by a structure going down

Sadly, the zealot build time increase is likely due to the overnerfing of marine build time which was never changed back (despite SCVs being fodder still). Hilarious that they wouldn't even factor zerg into this equation at all, though.


Zealots have been fine forever though XD why nerf them now and screw up everyones timings?


The game's not out yet, there are no such thing as "timings' yet.

Stalkers can no longer blink up cliffs blocked by rocks without vision, nor are they able to blink across unpassable terrain (i.e. can no longer blink to islands) Someone confirmed this to be false


Just for clarification, where was the stalkers blinking to islands tested?

Looked back a bit but can't find the post, just mentioning as if it was Extinction then the islands there have a small ledge in between which is most definitely passable terrain seeing as you can even jump reapers down there then up on to the 'island'.

Holy cow, really? No more annoying targeting pause for Hellions? Is it finally going to be possible to get some true Vulture-style micro going with them?

I don't quite understand what's being said.
now you can A-move and still get off fast shots on lings making hellion micro possible for us gold league guys?

There was a bug where Stalkers could Blink over impassable terrain much further than they could over solid ground. That was the only thing that was fixed. Because some people noticed they could no longer Blink over specific gaps, like islands on Metalopolis or gaps between bases on LT, they assumed it applied to everything.

So, in general, Blink is the same, you just can't erroneously Blink over certain abnormally large gaps anymore.

they still got cast time, just now if they are hunting a target and gets inrange to do the attack and the enemy move away longer and cooldown is not active, it actually attacks instead of hunting for ever and stopping but never attacking
i dont believe even 1% of the players knew about this bug but its gone now anyways and it makes things easier

found another thing

cargo interface stretches out icons to overtake the icons underneath it rather than removing icons and keeping same size of icons. so the cargo icons work like sc1 now

Hum... that would really leave anti-small units for zerglings and baneling.
There is now a 1 second cooldown for Transfusion from the Queen. With the Creep Tumor cooldown=doubled change, I'm starting to think I shouldn't have sent Day9 those reps lolol

Oh sht! I don't mind the transfusion coolddown, but omg will IdrA rage when he discovers that he can't creep out as fast! :O double the cooldown is a major nerf for those who wants to creep really fast, though it won't change that much the overall balance. Guess we just have to get used to it :/
Neural Parasite lasts about 12-ish in-game seconds.


I.. don't mind the 12 seconds duration because my infestors die anyway b4 that, but at least make it 75 energy or something, because now it just tells me that fungal growth >>> NP instead of FG > NP
Roaches can no longer move under Force Fields while burrowed!!!!

Hum.. interesting, no more retreating for zerg, and no more sneaking through a FF... I think that'll mean more Ultra play IMO. And with the always frenzied ultras now, it's really powerful
Infested Terrans lasts 30 seconds (up from 20).
Infested Terran spell can now be cast while Infestor is Burrowed.

ohhh finally, this change is really something for small drops! without raven or scan, you can sneak into a tank line and spew infested terran all over.. wait have to check woot!

Overall good patch for zerg

lol what? good patch for vs zerg you mean... NP nerf was unfounded, roach nerf was ridiculous, rally change screws nydus over... What was good for z? a t3 unit was slightly buffed and thats it. Infested Terran is pointless, fungal is way better, ITs will never be used competitively. Buffing ultras doesn't help out if all of the midgame stuff is bad. Oh yea, and creep tumor nerf? wtf is that...


Well, calling a patch a nerf or buff is subjective sometimes Rally point change is good because you don't want to accidently attack your enemy. If you wanted to attack, then people have to micro better just like in scbw.

I have to disagree with your infested terran. Now since ITs can be shot from the underground, it makes a perfect zerg version of "zealot bomb". Good terran will scan it, and good zerg will try to abuse it.

I believe he's referring to the bug where if you amoved hellions vs lings they'd move into range then bug out and not fire, and then they'd do that over and over while chasing the lings. I think it locks targeting better now. Whether this affects microability remains to be seen from what I'm reading.

when chasing nonspeed lings they actually shoot isntead of just stoping without doing anything aight?

great thing if its that.

Sounds like they just Fire+Stop simultaneously, instead of Stop->Wait->Fire.

chasing hunting w/e, same expression.
if u click a on a ling and the ling runs away the hellion will attack once its inrange and no cooldown, in beta phase 2 it would just stop and not attack

also found that units have drop animations rather than just appearing on the ground (they appear in the middle of the ground and the medivac/overlord then it falls the rest)

Now you have me confused. I get that they can't actually attack while moving like the Vulture, which puts it closer to the Dragoon/Stalker/Marauder level of micro, but you also say that they have a "cast time" which I'm guessing means they still have a short delay (about a tenth of a second or so) where they stop, target, then fire? If so, then the only change is to a very specific situation (which would match up with your 1% of players guess). I really want Hellions to attack their selected target more quickly... that acquisition time is so long =(

I hope some of these changes are bugs. Seriously sounds like Blizzard severely nerfed both Protoss and Zerg, the two weakest races when compared to Terran. Honestly, I would have been expecting either buffs to these races, or nerfs to Terran. And lol at nerfing the Ultralisk when it was already not even as strong enough as it should be pre-patch.
