Wow, so lurkers were removed, but they were still secretly in the game. Even though zerg is my weakest of the three races, i would have no objections to lurkers returning. Played some games v compy, it was pretty fun. What I really would like to see is some top zerg player opinion. IdrA should try it.

Its sad really. Its the kind of unit that had the potential to beat more units that its cost... right now zergs are really not cost effective.

Could we have this uploaded in the EU pls

I searched "lurker" and found nothing, but I searched "Lost Temple" and the lurker version was one of the results.

THIS IS SO AWESOME!!

I believe a better way to obtain the Lurker would be for them to morph from the roach. It makes more sense game wize because Roaches are burrowers also and they are usually used at start.

A tier 2.5 unit morphing from the Roach for a reseach would be awesome.

Next off, another idea to think about would be giving the Lurkers tunneling claws as well. Granted, their movement speed underground should be very slow but its something to consider nonetheless.

Tunneling Claws for Lurkers was something that i had in my mind aswell. I agree it has o be much slower then roach burrow speed but would be a nifty t3 upgrade.

definitely make it morph from the roach and make the lurker an upgrade at the roach den. It would create this cool dimension for zerg where they could choose to keep their roaches that can move under ground, or morph them to lurkers which can attack underground but are sieged.

Agree.

I can imagine a few Roaches secretly tunneling into a base, morphing into Lurkers and wreaking havoc.

totally fucked up if you ask me. I mean, ok, separate the regions and all if you want (and invoke reasons like lag and other shit), but why the heck is it that if a map is uploaded to a region it is still unavailable for others to play. Its just really dumb and it promotes separation even more.

1 year from now, I assume we will have a separate version of DotA for each region as well as many many different custom maps for different regions.

Is this how you create a community? By dividing it? Really?

I repeat my demand: could someone from the US server, download the Lurker-Mod 0.3 Dependancy for the 3 maps from their Battle Net and post it somewhere, so I can upload these maps to EU as well. thank you.
