With no unit kill you cant notice the new bug. But why wouldn't you test that? That's basic quality assurance. People don't use Graviton Beam to lift a unit and then stand there until the spell wears off without killing the unit. You have to test practical situations. | ||

A minor annoyance when you are counting the seconds to your next graviton beam. Actually this is one of the bugs that this patch addresses. There were only three gameplay changes: * Fixed an issue where Ultralisk cleave range was being unintentionally extended by larger targets. * Fixed an issue where the Phoenix's Graviton Beam was automatically canceled if you used it just after the Phoenix reached 50 energy. * Fixed an issue where queuing Return Cargo on a worker would cause it to ignore the built-in delay after it finished gathering. That's why everyone in this thread is complaining about the lack of testing of Graviton Beam. It wouldn't be so bad if this bug was completely unrelated to the changes they made but it's directly related. If any Blizzard employee played a few typical games involving Phoenixes, it's virtually impossible for them to miss this bug. | ||

That's what I don't understand - When there's glitches where you play a single game and it's blatantly obvious, how do they make it into the patch? I understand that they probably test the patch with very specific situations and not a whole game, but it seems to me like if you used 5 Phoenixes and flew around you would notice this instantly. | ||

PROFIT Doesn't work for everyone practicing for the GSL or practicing for the TL Open this weekend. Phoenix builds? What're those? Obviously I'm not expecting to win the TL Open or anything, but I'm not expecting to do much anything even on the ladder without phoenixes, since they're one of my favorite units. | ||

Unless their testing simply involved them using 1 phoenix to lift a unit at 50 energy to make sure it didn't cancel. They wouldn't see the bug in that case and chances are that is exactly what they did. Still a pretty stupid mistake but easy enough to miss. | ||

Someone's gotta test it, because blizzard obviously hasn't. Nothing would make me happier than someone advancing in the GSL because they found some infinite mineral glitch  | ||

It is kind of annoying. I thought it might be because i gravitoned a baneling and their death might be 'special' (detonate) but not sure now | ||

Now we'll have to press ESC on stopped phoenixes instead of the game doing it for us like a noobified game. yes because that is what blizzard has been doing a lot with starcraft 2. making it more difficult and harder for new players. | ||
