you just found your solution! Don't ball up!!

Good point, I'm glad my units don't rely on army integrity or positioning enough that I can spread them out in a glorious, massive arc at any point in the game.

wait

It doesn't matter if you split if you have enough energy lol! Can't wait to get webbed/fungaled vs brood lords...

My friend is at BlizzCon and he's played HoTS. Here are the latest changes.

No more Overseer.
Hydra speed increased.
Viper will permanently grant detection for energy. Lair tech. Grant detection is the cheapest spell.
Burrowed banelings can MOVE. Possibly an upgrade.
Swarm lord spits out broodling-looking things that have 16 attack damage and .87 attack speed.


HYDRA SPEED INCREASED??? Fucking FINALLY


16 damage? holy mother of everything I love you zerg, I love you so much. Moving burrowed banelings is op as shit no way they will keep that, and hydra speed finally.

Not going to lie this is a great day to be zerg.


Lol dude, this shit is probably gonna be nerfed to ground. Do people really think that Blizz is gonna give Zergs or any other race some imba unit? They are showing some flashy units just to encourage people to buy Hots, and after release they are probably gonna erase most of that shit

heh

replicants will be useless unless they have something like 100 hp.


Even then, I can't really see a situation where they would ever be valuable for stealing an enemy unit. MAYBE having them disrupting reinforcement routes if your opponent makes the mistake of rallying instead of sending units in a ball.

They might be an interesting macro tool if they're cheap/fast to build. Zerg have inject larva, protoss have replicant energy. Something like that.

If I pylon block a zerg expansion, does that mean he will need to get roaches in order to kill it? (as the new nexus ability is basically anti-zergling/worker?)


^Very good question

It's just a guess, but I'm thinking that pylons might not be counted in this stipulation? Only buildings, like core, gate, stargate, etc..? If not, this makes pylon blocking a zerg natural extremely likely.

Artosis was able to use it on a pylon, but alpha is alpha.

Artosis Pylons got a buff!

Corrupters now have a channeled ability against building that gives one mineral a second and does 1dps.

WHAT? The possibilities are endless!

Copy an SCV

Make Command Center

Make Barracks

MASS MARINES!

That's exactly what dark archons did but making Terran units fell under Terran food, so you could hit 200/200 with toss and still be making tanks.

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



Lol what the actual fuck is with corruptor change

I agree that sounds fucking stupid. I mean can you use the corruptors ability on one of your buildings and get unlimited money kind of?

Zerg now has orc pillage ability? LOL

I should just go back to playing TFT. Seriously.
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.

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.

[image loading]

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.


No, but I don't see them going through the unit creating/balancing process over and over again when both Blizzard and the community expect the expansion to come out in mid 2012. For a game that was on the table for so long, that repeatable process was something to be expected.
