For everyone worrying about the Carrier: There's another expansion coming after this. Can't you just see them sitting in the meeting room when someone says "What if we removed the Carrier" and someone replies "The most iconic Protoss unit? Are you serious?"`and then the first guy goes "yeah but we bring it back for LotV, the protoss expansion you know, eh, eh!?";

its such a genius/dick move that blizzard could do it...i kid i kid.

I can't believe how bad Blizzard missed the ball with that burrowed creature. The whole point of lurkers would be to secure ground, deny move outs etc. Burrowed banes become useless when 1 scan hits, not for lurkers. This unit... Wtf..?
no dude, the question

I'm kinda iffy about the Tempest at first glance. Liking the extra utility of the Oracle, though.

For the same reasons people play protoss now. Because you love your race :D

Truth. I'm sure things will change by release anyways, anyone else remember the soul surfer (hunter) from P? We all remember how long that lasted.

That thing was designed so it can lvl lol?Such a stupid unit that was.
That's why I don't read too much into these new units.2/3 of the things that blizzard originally design gets either scrapped or reworked.


Blizzard doesn't have another 7 years to work on HotS though.

I highly doubt they spent 7 years on unit design.

The new HotS units are sick! Off-creep speed upgrade for hydras, burrow charge ability for ultras, new infestation pit unit like a lurker, but spawns two high-dps units every 15 seconds or so while burrowed. Lair tech caster flyer Viper that can make units detectors, spawn a cloud that disables casting and ranged attack, and a tentacle that can pull a unit in from long range. Corrupters now have a channeled ability against building that gives one mineral a second and does 1dps.

From Psystarcraft's FB, not sure if anything here is new news to you guys.


Wtf @ the corruptor ability. Interesting to know that the siege unit needs infestation pit.

Burrow...charge? for ultras? That will be interesting to see.Also viper disabling CASTING? That makes that ability so much stronger. Block psi storm, block forcefields, block STIM!

Or maybe every race should be able to punish a complete lack of mobile detection.

This is very true, remember the starbase? I.e. the starport that could fly around the map and heal terran ships? It's a very real possibiliy that things will change drastically before release.

As I said before though, it's really hard not to get mad at the sheer weirdness and stupidity of some of these changes.

I really have to wonder what is going on inside Blizzard.

Protoss needs more casters?

Give Nexus spells!

wtf.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

lol blizz just broke the game, waaay too strong of a spell even if it were to cost 100 energy


What? It competes with Chrono Boost. Protoss aren't going to be too willing to give up their macro mechanic without a real plan. And that plan won't be "just recall a bunch". It'll be something more like "attack, then back away, but at the cost of 2-4 CBs".


Nexus only cost 400 minerals. That means you can simply build an extra nexus somewhere in your base and stock the energy up without having to stop making probes/spend gas like the mothership required.


Nexus is effectively 300 minerals because they supply you with 1 pylon worth


so ccs also cost 300 minerals?


Basically what i was getting at is that you ar epaying 300 for the nexus ability and 100 for the supply

by my logic, yes, you are paying 100 for suply depot and 300 for cc

also take into account build time though (longer)

The two things I've noted:

-If warhound does bonus to mechanical, mech in TvP may finally be possible.
-Moveable burrowed banelings are the most broken thing I've ever heard of

I take it you've never heard of the ranged, flying DT unit known as the Banshee.

what do you mean? how can you afford cloaked banshees while going mech? and enough of them to live through obs/stalkers/sentries

Dislike. Mining should be the only way to gain resources imo.

Anything that lets me manner CC a terran/manner hatch a Zerg is not useless sir

mothership in pvz is pretty damn good.

True. I've used this a few times as well.


Mothership in PvP is also amazing, I would say it is a must have in lategame PvP.

WHAT? The possibilities are endless!

Copy an SCV

Make Command Center

Make Barracks

MASS MARINES!
