The phoenix right now, when it casts the Graviton Beam, it casts it for 10 secs. So even after the target is destroyed, its still casting but it casts for the full 10 secs, and goes back to normal. For now, you have to press Esc after you killed your target so it'll cancel the channeling animation. I dunno if this was intended but let's wait and see :T It does upset me a bit though

Well, that's good to know.

They must be pretty embarassed. Hopefully they'll patch it soon and try harder to avoid issues like this in the future.

Oh wait, do they already get +2 per upgrade because its X2, and thats why they don't get 1 (+1 light) per upgrade?

Thats not a very good reason. Phoenixes and Reapers are the only units in the game with broken upgrades.

Thor attack is 6(+6 light)x4 and it gets 1(+1 light)x4 per upgrade.

If the phoenix had proper upgrades it would be much more useful against Terran early-game was the point of my post.

And the fact not getting bonus to light from upgrades ONLY helps Terran by nullifying an early +1 harass (against marines, SCVs and hellions) seems wrong. It has no real effect on PvZ or PvP.

just use a little more micro and press escape when you're done lifting, it'll drop the beams

At least there is the Esc key work around until they patch it. Some of the problems with this patch are really making me shake my head. At least they're addressing it kinda quickly, and hopefully it will be fixed very soon.
If the quarter was in your right hand, that would've been micro

Now you know why patch 1.1.0 took 2 months to release--because a hotfix like this is invariably going to have some problems from not being tested thorougly. The result: a completely predictable shitstorm.

Yes, we know about the esc key, it doesn't really work well when it cancels every beam, and you have any more than 5 phoenixes, especially during a battle.

Argh. Waiting for a fix, still. Great how the EU players tell them about the problem, then they patch the US anyway.

Ugh idiots. Their own tournament is being affected by sloppy programming stuff like this. At least they could be transparent and say 'be aware of these indirect results of our patches since tomorrow you're playing for $5,000' or something.

This isn't a bug. This is obviously an advanced technique that will help seperate noobs and pros. 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.


Are you saying you would like this advanced technique to stay like I do?



lol so you want to press "r" to reload the marines rifle after they fire or maybe to guide the stalker fire to its intended target?? oh wait wait. you want to have to click return cargo for each scv because its more advanced play?


You understood perfectly the point I was trying to say through sarcasm. This new addition is exactly like mineral boosting. Yet one is regarded as a bug and the other as an "advanced technique" that caused much whining upon removal. People whining about it should be happy about this phoenix bug, if they really only care about "technical skill", but that's not the case. Did they just forget about it? Or are they hypocrites that only wanted it in the game because they had practiced it already?

They aren't broken. Just because you don't like it how it is does not mean it's broken, wtf?

Each unit has it's upgrades individually determined and there are plenty of examples for that.
Stalkers and Vikings currently receive +1 per upgrade, despite having a bonus to armored and these were changed during beta. Hellion and Thor upgrades were also like that during beta and they specifically changed them to test that and then reversed it with retail.
+ Show Spoiler [Beta Patch 15] +
Hellion
Weapon upgrade bonus decreased from 1 (+1 Light) to 1.
Thor
Anti-air weapon upgrade bonus decreased from 1 (+1 Light) to 1.
The only upgrade that can be considered broken is the Void Ray attack upgrade, since it's supposed to have 2 different damage levels, but it actually has 3 when upgraded.
I'll call Nada.
