That's an excellent idea. I would be very happy if this was implemented.

People need to understand that the gateway build time reductions still leave them 5 seconds longer than warp gates. You can NEVER get a bigger army by staying on gateways. Warp gates used to be 10secs faster, now just 5, but you still should only be using warp gates by the time midgame rolls around, despite the increased difficulty with macro.

Ghost will be the first caster unit that costs more minerals than gas. It's not that it's a bad idea, I also like the change. But it's just wrong....to have a caster unit to cost more minerals than gas that is. It's like a mage that has a higher strength stat than intellect stat

LOL. If that's the case, then should we only honor posts coming from those in Grandmasters?

I know this is a feature I would truly want to see. It doesn't mean that only Grandmasters' posts/opinions matter but it allows you to understand a poster's whereabouts in terms of skill level.

If I was a silver level player, anyone gold+ would theoretically speaking, have a more in depth knowledge of the game. Whereas if I am a masters level player, that same info wouldn't be as useful to me and this simple icon would allow me to distinguish this.

The problem comes from not being able to determine if someone is really who they say they are, which has been brought up before. Arenajunkies does something similar, where they verify the best of the best (which would mean TL would only need to verify the top 200 in each region, which wouldn't be too much of a problem) and then after that if someone must lie, eventually it would probably be noticed (some bronze pretending to be a masters or something).

Anyways, OnT I can't wait to see these new changes. Would love to see more archon play in PvP

Well, even if Ghost are spellcaster, they're the less dependant one.
They have a pretty good dps against light target, snipe feel less like a spell than for example psi storm or feedback..
It feel weird to have it cost so much mineral, but if one caster had to be like this, it's the Ghost.

Actually, people will use it as an excuse for saying they are more right than others, when really, they're just clones of CombatEx.

So is it true they made auto magic box muta now with the bug fix?

technically a ghost is both a ranged dps and a caster in one. like a phoenix, battlecruiser or banshee. they have 'spells', but they're not fragile units.

the 'true' caster units are very fragile and require you to babysit them 24/7, e.g. sentry, HT, raven, infestor etc.


at a design level - the change makes sense because terran have so many units with costly gas to mineral ratios generally at lower tier. such as raven (2:1), ghost, reaper and medivac (all 1:1) and siege tank (15:12.5).

compare that to zerg or protoss, they have HT (3:1), sentry (2:1), infestor (1.5:1), DT and muta (both 1:1).... and only very high tier mothership (1:1), broodlord and carrier (both 15:12.5).


so terran is the 'caster' race?

They would be too sick earlier on in the game.

This calls for a late game research =D hells Maelstrom Shells from campaign won't be a bad idea at all. of course adjust the numbers up and down as appropiate.
btw
