it's not like they should go around with stalkers to see what they can abuse



As someone else already stated; Yes, they should be doing that. It's called QA Testing and its vital to the development process. If they're making maps without thoroughly testing each and every possible exploit, then we end up with patent bullshit like this, and the Shakuras Plateau invisible building bug.

This was the 1st thing I was thinking about when I saw this map, but didn't test it my self yet,
Good you tested this!

Well Blizzard hires people to test their games. And going around abusing stalkers/reapers/colossi to make sure the map works as intended is exactly the sort of thing any good game tester ought to be trying. Of course, being the abusive Protoss scrub I am, I fully intend to use this discovery to the max, while it still exists...

They don't even need human testers.... they could just test it with an algorithm that simulates sight of a ground unit at each height of the map. Besides ramps, the bottom level shouldn't see the top level. They could then look at the highest height and see if there are 'blink spots' elsewhere.

Oh wow this is pretty big
Considering I'm a toss player myself, I'll probably try this out a couple times :p
It might make PvP a pain in the butt though

So i guess we all should expect blink stalker play when we play against a Protoss on ladder in the next days

I may need to test this later, but is there a way of exploiting this without the use of blink stalkers? I imagine that the watchtower sight might allow for a lower ground pylon to warp in a unit onto the tower structure, which in turn could provide sight to allow for a secondary pylon at the bottom of the cliff to warp in units into the main. This could be a major factor for some PvP 4gate matches.

The matchup that I can see this most affecting is PvP due to the fact that this imbalance makes Blink Stalkers infinitely more useful, which makes Twilight Council tech a more useful tech structure than Robos on this map with these positions. A Protoss going Robo will have to defend from two locations against a Protoss going Blink.

Just tested this, the vision is enough for a stalker to blink, but not enough for a unit to warp in.

Add a pylon by the cliff and it becomes even more dangerous...

Seriously? people cant do anything but complain, this isn't something that you can really pin on the map makers. I don't know if this is more of a glitch but the cliff just BARLEY makes the vision. I do acknowledge its a map error but gives the map makers some leniency nobody can make a perfect map they just try.

Done. Only works with a zealot, a stalker or a sentry, not a pylon or any building.

uh come on lets not overreact. this is the kind of accidentall exploit that get discovered only after thousands of games are played. Not like they intended this obviously...




Thousands.. is a understatement

Funny how people always want Blizz to leave in weird unit bugs (such as infestor burrow casting, or keeping void ray charge by switching targets fast enough), but really hate map quirks.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. Yeah, it makes stalkers more powerful on that map, but the only major difference is around 3 stalkers and some amount of time if the protoss player wanted to blink up your cliff anyway. Also, this at the minimum leaves one stalker behind.

Sure, fix it, but I don't really mind it's existence. Now that we know you can do that, just remember not to turtle up the front of your base against P.

Thanks for testing this. At least we can sleep in peace knowing that a pure, no-blink 4gate build won't be able to exploit this bug.

Nevertheless, Twilight Council tech is going to still be hugely useful with this bug. A pylon below the cliff and a single Blink Stalker allows for DTs to warp into the main without the use of a Robo or an observer.
