Already know about that post, and that post was there a week and a half ago. They know, but no timeline on the fix.

Pretty major bug. I was thinking they would definitely want to hotfix this before GSL qualifiers which I think start in less than 2 days.

I use phoenix ALL the time. This bug makes it so that you kill significantly less workers, you can't spam the beam, you have to do it 1-3 times, cancel, do it again, cancel...
THEN, when the opponent responds, it's a lot harder to get away properly. I lose about 20% more phoenix than normal because of this bug and it's much more difficult to get a couple extra kills in while running away. My phoenix micro is pretty ridiculous but adding this bug to the mix really hurts the strategy.
When the bug came out I thought "that sucks but it will get fixed soon", at this point I'm just annoyed.

Obviously not a game programer but how the hell does a bug gets introduced on a unit that is not touched in a previous patch? Unless of course it's intentional and they're just messing around with it and waiting for feedback.

there was a previous bug with the phoenix that was dealt with in 1.1 their attempt to fix the problem, which they did, created this new problem.

edit: too slow.

um 1.1.1 has been out for what, over a week now? this bug is a huge problem for people who do a lot of phoenix play. c'mon blizzard how does the unit get bugged this bad when there wasn't even any changes to it in the patch.
|
just micro them and press escape to end the beam

Read the thread, jeez. This point has been answered about a million times before, it doesn't work when you have something like 10 phoenixes, or even 5-6 phoenixes running through a worker line.

I really hope they fix this before IEM and MLG .

Oh, ok. But still have to wonder why the ultralisk bug was fixed pretty quickly and only because it largely affected one glaring situation *cough cough* PF and repairing scvs.
Guess who are the two bastard children of blizzard in this game (out of a total of three) haha
|
still waiting for the bug fix. I don't care if it's the only thing listed in the next bug fix, dang it, I want to use phoenixes again! I seems like people are going mass muta or mass tank because they know phoenixes aren't a threat.
|
still waiting for protoss to be viable again. Perhaps they should delete marauders the next patch for 2 weeks.

IF? It happens every time, it was painful to watch on the gretorp day9 daily, his opponent lost at least 3 phoenix due to the bug.

Nah just make concussive shells 100/100 with 15 second longer build time and take away stim. and or reduce bonus damage to armoured and or give the Protoss a fucking shield battery - since every other race can protect their main except us.
Can I get a fucked stimmed marauders against a Nexus guys? You bet I can. Damned Phoenix bug too
|
Or perhaps make it so marauders are frozen in place after they shoot a concussive, and you have to press escape to free each one.
would blizzard take 2 weeks to fix that? no because marauders are way more important to them than phoenix.
|
This is pretty awful, every time I try to do some worker harass at least half my guys die because they are stuck in the animation when the AA comes around.

Genuine lol.

I don't understand how a bug this obvious could possibly slip through Blizzard's testing.
When they fixed the 50 energy bug, did they even use a Phoenix once afterwards? Honestly, what the hell kind of testing do they have over there?
|
I'm starting to think that they don't have any.
