Hope someone clarifies the exact cut from higher settings. I've always wondered why Idra, TLO and other SC2 pros play on lowest graphics. Aren't they aware that it puts them in detection disadvantage? Is it not important enough? I'm still puzzled. Test first then post? i have all graphics on lowest and i noticed this in the first days of beta. | ||

I honestly thought that was old news since starcraft began. Yes it is clear from reading this thread that most people realize moving cloaked units ripple the area etc... it's much harder to see them when they aren't moving (even though technically you can) hence this thread. Not sure why you think what you do... On September 03 2010 14:59 Dox wrote: I also discovered that you can still use splash damage to kill invisible units. In a Protoss vs Protoss scenario a few days ago, I was able to position one of my Stalkers below an enemy observer and attack myself with Archons to kill the enemy observer. And of course you can always manually detonate Banelings to kill nearby DT's without having vision of them. It was so awesome in sc1 when protoss players would use reavers attacking their own units (zealots typically) to kill a dt they couldn't detect. | ||

Or you claim you can see cloaked units on all graphics lowest? I can only see burrowed moving, and certainly worse than it looks on vids with higher graphics. I don't see any ripple from cloaked though, I only know about it from VODs.Test first then post? i have all graphics on lowest and i noticed this in the first days of beta. | ||

I honestly thought that was old news since starcraft began. Maybe u should read OP's post again... Of course they ripple, BUT that was not his point. You can see them even if they are not moving when tilting or rotating the angle of viewing using the mouse wheel or the page up/down or pos1/end keys... And this was of course not possible in SC1 as it was a 2D rather than a 3D game. Ok? | ||

It's not as absurd a statement as you say man! Conclusion: observers should also provide supply, so they can have another negative point about them, since apparently providing additional benefits is a negative. | ||

I have no idea why they didn't just implement a 100% stealth, and then a fade ripple when the unit attacks--it makes much more sense. | ||

I will now use this every single game of TvP. Protoss just found one more reason to be annoyed with Terrans. | ||

Park them somewhere smarter. | ||

Completely different, though to you it might not be a useful distinction. I just find it amazing how many Terran players seem to think not muling costs them minerals when in fact it just delays the retrieving of said minerals. | ||

I can clearly see them like if they were not cloaked, that's kinda disturbing, you wanna shout to your units "HE'S THERE, CAN'T YOU F-ING SEE HIM SHOOT HIM SHOOOOOT" but they don't  :p | ||
