Seriously what is with the complaining, they were never going to do anything major just before the gsl finals. You will probably find they were happy with this fix and and since it didn't affect the finals there is no reason to delay it. Any major fixes will probably come after the finals. Just to say this again, I believe blizzard have said they plan to have chat channels in place by the end of the year so it won't be that much longer.

Yeah honestly this change was great. I cannot tell you non-T players how awful it was for Thor's to auto attack medivacs. I know you can just tell them to target ground, but even those first wasted shots are huge amounts of key damage missed.

You just jinxed it and Foxer is now going to win the game where his Thors get mind controlled but target Marines over Medivacs.

What are you talking about? Thors aren't marines

Hey guys, new to TL forums!

I find the thor change to be good. Especially when you neural parasite them, instead of firing at medivacs, they'll shoot the seige tanks now!

yay that replay bug really drove me crazy.
Watching a 40 minute replay and getting desynced after 35 is annoying, trust me :S

How can you possibly make so few official changes with so many MB?

BTT: The Thor changes seems good to me, it simply makes more sense to kill off whats attacking instead of killing the healers which are standing behind and do no harm to you at all...
Neural parasite will work better aswell, for its almost every time you take a Thor he does no crucial damage at all to the rest of the mech army.

Overall an "ok" patch i guess, still waiting for the chatrooms / proleague / clan function to be implemented, Blizzard still has a whole pile of stuff to do before i will be completely satisfied with the Bnet2.0 application.

But seeing in which fast manner the patches are brought up and live it seems fairly well possible that the previously mentionen functions are gonna come as a sort of Christmas present to the SC2 Community. Keep up the good work, Blizz!

Ketara is pointing out that TvT is not the only situation the change to Thor priority matters. Pre-patch, a Neural Parasited Thor would turn on its own medivacs, but now it will turn on the ground troops instead.

To think that these people that can not understand that this is not a buff/nerf and does not affect anything bar TvT are also suggesting balance changes and giving advise in the strategy forums.... wow Talk about qq ing.

does this mean when i watch the new 500 MLG reps every single time sc2 has to switch the version ? is there no way around this

worst patch timing ever

Indeed.

It would be really nice if we can select more than one replay and play them in a series, especially if they are of a previous version.

Anyway, while it was annoying to have Thors prioritizing medvacs, I got used to immortal babysitting so it wasn't too bad for me. They love attacking non-armored targets

Glad they fixed the Thor targeting... was hoping for more out of this patch though.

Chill was not kidding in TLOwnage when he said they could change the color of marauder's boots and there would be hundreds of posts about it.

The should make a watch replay without having to relog back into bnet feature >.> Patches like these that change absotleuley nothing piss me off because now the last 100+ replays I've carefully searched for to improve a specific aspect of my game are "old".

Seriously? Get a life guys. This patch is one of the most universally agreeable ones out of all of them and you're all bickering about one small balance change, that really should be quite agreeable for most people. And by most people, I mean anyone with a brain. It's not even a balance patch, it affects TvT, and makes the Thor universally a bit better vs other ground units, and protoss and zerg players are raging?
