instead we get another buggy hotfix for a bug in a patch that took 2 months to do and didnt change anything in the game and im actually pretty sure that ultras having less splash then before wasnt intented. prolly nobody even noticed since the ppl making the patches dont seem to actually play this game the only thing that keeps me playing sc2 right now is 2on2ing and 3on3ing with RL friends, otherwise i wouldve stopped completely. for a while i enjoyed creating custom maps, but the custom map situation is totally fucked up, search maps hasnt been working for over a week, why bother to create a new map if no one but yourself can play it... really hoping for blizzard to redeem themselves with 1.2, chat channels will help for custom maps, but i dont really believe they will improve zerg gameplay or fix other issues like marauder or void ray any more. not before hots, maybe not even at all. if it hasnt been fixed by yet, maybe they intent it to stay the way it is  | ||

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? wtf are you talking about? mineral boosting was a benefit. there are absolutely no pros to this bug. and if blizzard wanted to go a route that made sc2 more technical then go ahead, take out automine, take out muti-building hotkeys. but just nerfing one unit to make it useless is not a benefit to anyone. | ||

The reasoning behind it is irrelevant and he doesn't ask for more features, that help worse players, to be removed. It's just a playful comparison. | ||

It was just sarcasm, though, even pro players will be affected by this. It's impossible to manage 10 phoenixes during a battle perfectly. with this bug. | ||

How does requiring more actions to control the phoenix not benefit anyone, yet requiring more actions to macro benefits someone? | ||

Well I played the Phoenix a lot, sure i will use the Phoenix when already benefits to get them (counter Mutas, Banshees etc) but the unit itself is honestly not worth the effort anymore when it works like this, those extra APM just to kill a few workers with higher risk of loosing both in units and in macro are simply not worth it, and I believe a lot of better players then me will agree. | ||

So they patched 3 things and fubared at least 2 of them. Has anybody tested the mineral boost? | ||

And this is after everybody yell at them for not testing their patches (ultras splash). Seems they not listened. Seriously, how much worktime it requires to test a change on number of scenarios? Way more than you could possibly imagine. Testing and debugging is the largest time sink when it comes to Computer Science. | ||

http://rapidshare.com/files/422242633/Monsoon_-_Phoenix_Bug_Delay.SC2Replay 9:03 Zerg Base 7 o'clock position: Phoenix stays in graviton mode and refuses command to move away after drone is dead. 10:48 Teran Base 5 o'clock position: Phoenix stays in graviton mode after killing SCV and dies to marines because of immobility =( This will seriously dampen my fun phoenix play until it is fixed. You won't hear me whining though, I kind of expect minor bugs to rear their heads after every patch. | ||

I think that spider mines and mutalisk micro would have been removed in Brood War if the current people were in charge. They've already junked ultralisks with 1.1.1. It's really getting ridiculous. | ||

You do realize you can press esc to cancel the graviton beam and allow the pheonix to move right | ||

They've already junked ultralisks with 1.1.1. It's really getting ridiculous. From the SC1 Patch Notes: - Fixed bug that allowed players to receive extra resources when canceling building construction multiple times by exploiting lag in a multi-player game. - Cooldown times of units being dropped out of transports corrected. - If you are really clever, you can crush tanks by landing buildings on them. This is the unexpected consequence to fixing a cheeze that allowed players to have siege tanks underneath barracks. What makes the game "better" or "worse" is really quite arbitrary. Personally I think it worked out in the long run that you can't hide tanks under buildings, drop/pickup units with no cooldown, or get an econ boost by speed-canceling buildings. Is taking out mineral boosting and fazing better or worse for the game? That remains to be seen. Suffice to say, the SC1 comparison is a bad one, because they took out a fair number of glitches from SC1 as well. As an aside, SC1 patches didn't even have any balance changes till version 1.04. | ||

One of the units, post-beta, is flat out broken, and still has not been fixed. EDIT: Hoping soooo much for a hotfix today. MORE EDITS: If it doesn't get fixed, I'm going to point out that protoss players are playing at a definite disadvantage in the TL Open, especially if they plan on using phoenixes vZ, or vT like Socke, or even vP to counter immortals. | ||
