It isn't that this is overpowered, it is that it is ridiculous that the source of the splash is the edge of the target and not the source. It makes sense for the siege tank since it is firing explosives, but not for the ultralisk. Besides, even if the ultralisk did it the way the siege tank does, the PF would completely contain the splash and no nearby unit would be hit. The splash radius needs to be a short distance in front of the ultralisk, and of a fixed radius that does not vary with the size of the target.

So the fatter the unit you attack the more splash radius area you get? Maybe its effective to run 2 ultras into an enemy mineral line and have them attack each other.



PLEASE, somebody test this and post a video. LOL


There's no splash on friendly fire.


You sure about that?

Just loaded up the MockBattle map put 2 ultras in the middle of ~70 probes and had the probes hold position and ultras attack each other and there were a lot of probes dying very quickly.

hope they fix this, but PF needs to be weaker, it is practiclly impossible to crack a PF as Zerg without broodlords or ultras.. they are to strong on thirdbase gold expansions.

Perhaps this is the Z's way of base racing with P and T.

In an average game, P and T have alot more buildings than Z. With this, Z can destroy clumps of buildings faster than T or P players can raze a whole base.


But yes, this is quite broken.

Lol at this thread:
"Zerg tears - GTFO L2P NOOB"

But apparently, all the Terran tears about Ultras being a viable T3 unit against PF's makes Ttears completely acceptable.


Also, pulling your workers away from combat? Don't you pull your workers away from Collosi attacks as well? :/

What, Terrans are angry they can't auto repair ftw anymore? A T-3 unit shouldn't have trouble against static defense. :/

Regardless, it's probably TOO strong.

In all fairness i am a Terran player and i think the Ultra's should indeed have a splash radius the problem i have is that the splash range is based on the attacked target and not the distance from the Ultra's Claws.

Basically meaning the splash damage range is variable if you attack a sup depot the splash damage range is a lot less then for example when attacking a CC.

But like i tested last night also Ultra's Attacking rocks makes units die on the whole other side of the rocks and even on higher ground ( Blistering sands MAP backdoor entrance ), and this is the main problem. ( Fixed Tech game me playing against a friend to test it out )

So to sum it up i don't mind that Ultra's have a Splash radius hell they even deserve it but attacking rocks and the units on the other side die due to splash damage on even higher ground is just plain wrong, but then again i kinda figure to get the same response from most Zerg players, "blabla terran tears".
All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

Okay, that's actually pretty hilarious.

I still want to see if that bug with Contaminate increasing the size of a building command center will work with the ultra splash - it was posted earlier in this thread that it might work.

I'm going to give it a shot in a few.

As a random player, i actually think that this isn't really that ridiculous. First of all, have you ever played a Zerg on blistering sands where their first attack wasn't through the rocks? Second of all... you can just make a Missle Turret on the other side if you see an ultralisk cavern and instantly know that you need units there ASAP.

I don't really even mind the range all that much, if anything, what makes it overpowered is that splash damage works of the base damage of the unit hit rather than just having its own base and armour type bonuses.

If there is going to be a nerf to this, just make it when ultras attack CC//Nexus/Hatch size buildings their splash only goes one hex instead of two.

This is pretty alarming. Although this bug isn't game changing (until you get ultras of course) and nothing can be perfect, I'm pretty disappointed in Blizzard. Didn't expect them to let this slip (and the scrap station creep imbalance too).

It would be so much easier to limit the repairs at one scv max instead of these drastic changes. But I won't complain, auto-repaired PF are just too strong, you needed something like 30 banelings before, so ultra's crazy splash damage is welcome :D

sooo

Blizzard announces about 6 or so changes, most of which are slight number tweaks..

This was the most significant mechanic change

They had a month to test it, since they literally didn't change ANYTHING else besides what they announced

Yet they still fuck it up??

If you build PF's at all your expansions you don't have many mules to drop.


Please, please stop saying this. If you want mules, just build an OC as well, somewhere else. You get supply from them (saving on depots) and the first MULE pretty much pays for the OC.
The existence of a food chain is inescapable if we evolved unsupervised, and inexcusable otherwise.

Yea, but you guys forget... the units that always countered Ultras will still counter Ultras, and now do it a little better. Marauders and Immortals do the same amount of damage while taking less.

Buildings are not supposed to be your main defense against unit attacks, other units are.


Does it make sense that when an ultralisk attacks a building it damages units in a +2 range around it even when the ultralisk "Attack" isnt "attacking" anything except the building? Use your brain

Damn shame a T3 unit can kill a PF, huh?

It is what it is though: Splash on TARGET +2, not splash from SOURCE +2. Deal with it until it's changed. Stop crying. If you can't accept changes, then stop playing until they, too, are changed. Or, a nice kiddie quote I heard, "abuse it until they realize it needs a nerf."

OK.

Whether or not it's a "BUG" or an "ISSUE"... does it really matter?

Do you REALLY want chat rooms?

What matters is that they said it's UNINTENDED and will be "corrected."

Is that good enough for everybody?


If you are computer literate it does matter. If people would stop misusing the word bug this thread would have ended 40 pages ago.


blizzard doesn't use the word bug.

see previous posts. and yes i am literate with computers. seeing how they don't ever use that word, you can't really confirm or deny whether it is a bug.


You can very easily deny, because you can look at the xml files and see that ultras always had this type of attack and that it's a specific flag, which can be easily added or removed and works exactly as advertised. You can even see that in the editor.

It's something extremely obvious, it's like arguing whether green grass is green or not.
Blizzard doesn't use green grass, so you can't really confirm or deny whether it's green or not!

Seriously, I feel for Fa1nT repeatedly trying to explain the obvious to people and not flaming them to hell and back for their ignorance.

What's next, making him explain what issue means and that a bug is also obviously an issue, but an issue obviously may not be a bug.
I'll call Nada.
