Sweet find... And I don't see any reason why this should be patched out, it's not game breaking in any manner. People should already have learned that they need to thoroughly scout their base in the early game.

That scrap station one is really awesome.
You can foresee an attack without scouting at all. :O

This falls under a bug because information used that is not available and that shouldn't be possible.

Very interesting stuff, especially with the destructible rocks on scrap station. The expo scout is great though, since you can pretty much have a very clear idea if a zerg/toss is starting an expansion. Awesome find, man, but I agree that this needs to be fixed.

This is cool but I don't think that it will be severe enough to warrant a fix by blizzard. Maybe in the lower leagues there will be an increase in cheese, but at least at the highest levels of play it won't matter that much.

That's very interesting. Thanks for the find, brother.

EDIT:

For the scrap station rock scouting thing, can we use patrol? Or does it have to be shift move commands?

I'm not really sure I like this or not. There's so much valueable information that can be gathered for free now. Mindgames such as cancelling an expo, or faking an expo by being very dedicated to deny any scouting would most likely be eliminated if this is executed properly no?

Im so doing the destructible rock patrol trick every map now!

Blind cannon rushes are also gonna be a lot more dangerous now on 4 player maps.

One possible solution is to add a 'scouted' boolean to every object and only update the pathing once it gets set to true but this is gonna eat into the fps.

clearly should be fixed, u r getting information you shouldnt get (fog of war). The ramp block is minor thing and it doenst affect gameplay THAT much.

well sackfolding and flowers on lost temple was fixed so expect this to be fixed

Nobody (except for dev team ofc) knows how this engine was implemented. Anyway, this is not going to be big change as a unit can avoid another units. So if buildings becomes "units" and not a "part of map" it's probably will be fine.

Whoa, a new trick was found? That impossible, we have the entire game figured out already!

Sorry, had to take a dig at the "the game is doomed to failure because it's too simple and there's nothing left to discover," crowd. Very cool discovery.

I did notice the wall off scout bug previously... I'd send a drone to middle of a base and I'd check and it was busy skirting along the cliffs and I'm thinking "why did it do tha.... ohhhh" Didn't think about the path finding thing though but now that I see it, i'm surprised no one noticed this sooner.

Too bad the only things we discover are mostly non-intended (read they are mistakes).

I would be much more happy if someone would discover how to micro zerg units.
