I'm sure that Blizzard have made tests involving 1.1 ultras vs. repaired PF before releasing this patch and therefore it's safe to assume that's it is working as intended.

good. it was completely unreasonable that a planetary fortress being repaired by scvs could literally never die.

this will certainly be fixed, but in a world where blizzard was actually sincere in its desire to nerf terran, it wouldn't.

Does this work with Thors who are getting repaired, too?

Wow that is pretty sick, but if you think about it, a unrepaired PF does perfectely reasonable damage before it dies.

If this is how it always works it seems a bit odd to me that blizz had this chance on the books for a whole month and never tested this. Its obviously not supposed to work like this, where the ultras are killing scvs on the OTHER side of the CC. Hopefully they fix it so that they just hit all the scvs in range like it should be.

This is definitely not intended; if you ask me this will be bugfixed quickly.

Wow it's like a joke now. Its kind of like the phoenix vs mutalisk complaint that resulted in "moving shot".

It does the size of the target(In this case the PF), and then +2 range outside of said target.

This is great info

It's not that ultras have massive range, it's just their AoE range is based on the building size now.

I like this :D

They should splash scvs that are close to the ultra itself. Not MAGICALLY do 360 degree nuke range splash. It's probably a bug, and if it's not, it's the most retarded change ever.

is it the same with archons/tanks splash or just with ultras cleave?

This is pretty awesome even if the splash doesn't line up to well with the animation. Looking forward to seeing PFs actually die.

lets say there were two buildings constructed adjacent to said PF, would they take splash damage if they were "touching" the PF as well?

Edit: at work and can't test it myself, would be nice to use the splash on ultras to break walls by doing damage to multiple adjacent buildings at once.
