Yeah, every time I see mutas coming for me, I just spend the 3-minute tech path to finally cast fungal growth. Stops them dead in their tracks!

The fact that some units are good against other units are the entire reason why play isn't completely linear and boring. If there were nothing that beats mutas, then every ZvZ would wind up with nothing but a muta race.


...clearly you have never played ZvZ. If you see someone getting a spire you know what you get? A hydralisk den. You wanna know why? cuz Hydras kill mutas for less.


Because Hydra's can catch up to mutas right? Because even on creep I'm pretty sure Hydra's are slower than mutas. You get an infestor or two, cast fungal, and boom. Muta's melt to your hydras.

Have you ever played ZvZ? Muta builds do a LOT of damage vs hydra builds... You keep them pinned in their base while expo-ing yourself. Get about 14 muta's (or enough to force the other Z to spend most of his gas on hydras) while slowly working up a large Bling ball to roll his mainly hydra army when he decides to make his doom push (or roll in yourself if your harass / pinning was really effective). The reason infestors worked so well here is that they shut down muta harass harder than a thor can, thus making sure you don't have to spend every drop of gas into your hydras so you can actually survive the incoming Blings.

You get hydras for my mutas. I take map control and get banelings. Have fun with that.

But you're continuing to make the mutas and banes? Wow you must be able to make gas out of thin air.

No, out of the extra base(s) that having map control allowed me to secure while you were busy spending everything on fragile hydras that can't attack me. That's why mutas are still made ZvZ - until infestors come out, you get a huge advantage.

Can anyone explain why there's a "temporary" decrease in bunker build time? What's the point? Won't having such a temporary adjustment potentially mask balance problems with T games?

let me get this straight, as a zerg, you can't hold the key, but this doesn't mean i have to do 4-s-z, 4-s-z, 4-s-z, 4-s-z, 4-s-z, 4-s-z, 4-s-z, 4-s-z to create 16 zerglings right?

It just means i have to press 4-s and then 8 times Z on the key board?

4sz seems kinda ridiculous, but i want to make sure.
Zerg need heavy buffs from Tier 1 to tier 3, against Terran and Protoss. blizzard needs to get on the ball or lose SC2 as an eSports venue.

I've been getting this error message

"SC2 Public Test server is not available right now. Please check http://www.battle.net/sc2/game/ptr/ for more information."

but all the reasons I've seen why this message occurs does not apply to me. (SEA does not access, etc.)

I have an NA account which was purchased before Nov. Here's some additional information:
It was working when I started it initially on Saturday 12/4
This error message would then show up on Sunday 12/5
Run Windows 7, typically on a Standard User (less privileges - not Admin)
Does work when I "Run as administrator", but would not like to continue having to run this way.
Have tried restarting to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

there's another change people didnt really notice i think, but it's nice. workers cant mineral walk through enemy units anymore, so you cant scout past units at a choke by right clicking minerals, nor can you escape when workers surround your scout. it's not huge but something to remember come next patch

Do you think this might make hatch first more viable in ZvP? It's probably easier to get hits off on a probe if they actually need to avoid your units instead of just walking through them (like when they go behind mineral lines).
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

The zerg change really isn't that big a deal.

When I play Zerg I do it this way anyways so that I can go "6 zerglings, 3 drones, 1 overlord" or whatever and have more precise control. You can still watch what's going on in your base/battle as you do it so what's the big deal?

Sorry if this has been answered, already (wish there was a search thread feature):

Does anyone know what the general chat channel is for? I see there's a 100 player limit per channel. Is this just a default chat channel for the division you're in? Is there such a thing?

I'm loving the changes so far not sure about the fungal growth thing yet don't know if that was necessary, protoss buffs definitely were I think. As for phoenix kiting you do realize that you can run away with your mutas then as they chase instantly turn around and the phoenix will slide into your range cause it has to decelerate before it pulls back.

You do realize Phoenixs have more range, faster movement, higher DPS, and more HP than Mutalisks do right?
