So that being true it is only logical otherwise its lost. ye it doesn't get refunded man, same with units, you also don't get refunded the price once the building got destroyed. False twice, you get both back. Only thing you don't get refunded is a building that is under construction.

It's a 10 year habit ingrained into their brain from bw to naturally cancel an upgrade before the building is destroyed.

Yeah this goes for upgrades and unit producing structures

Units gets refunded. Upgrades gets refunded. Destroying a pylon refunds the warping in units. Even morphing zerg units gets the morphing cost refunded if the cocoon is destroyed.
The ONLY thing that doesn't get refunded after being destroyed is buildings.
|
I think that a lot of pros do not realize that your money gets refunded if you lose the building while the upgrade is in progress just because that was most certainly not the case in Brood War.
|
holy shit i didn't know that lol, never that about it, thought it would be the same as brood war, maybe they don't know cause they spent years playing bw... but htey should know since they spend everyday playing sc2
|
In Broodwar you got a full refund as well, so no its not from broodwar (I just checked it right now)

what, really? i had no idea, wow thats noob-friendly WC3 and BW both had this mechanic if I remember correctly. It's not noob-friendly... It doesn't make any sense to why "cancelling" an upgrade wouldn't be the same as letting it get cancelled by having the building blow up.

Get the refunds earlier, if it's 1000% sure to be killed. Every second counts.
|
Guys, in Broodwar its STILL A FULL REFUND.
|
It's amazing how many people did not play BW. Everything in queue in BW refunds.

I just tested this with Siege Tech; before I was at 438 minerals, after destroying the addon without cancelling the upgrade I was at 400. I stopped all mining of minerals and gas during the test. Based on this test it's pretty clear that you lose 25% of the cost of the upgrade.
I tested it another time and it took 25% of the cost for metabolic boost.
|
its just a instinct of being good, no other way to put it
|
if you don't manually cancel, you run the risk of forgetting that it never finished

You can click units to tell if upgrade finished or not.

Didnt even know it didnt get refunded in BW, i always canceled my upgrades out of habit ><
|
BW habit and for quicker refund.
Nothing funnier than seeing a starport get blown up with a BC making and them forgetting to cancel.
|
