What is the lore behind protoss inventing a harass unit that can't actually deal damage in a physical way? They were to lazy to stick a laser on the damn thing or what? And while we are the subject of lore being inconsistent why the hell does the most technologically advanced race have to resort to copying their enemies units? Shouldn't we be able to come up with something worthwhile on our own? Maybe a slug-like thing that shoots out scarabs and deals massive amounts of damage. That sounds like something protoss would invent. | ||

Pretty sure there will be 2 different lobbies - one for WoL, one for HotS. | ||

I don't get the hate on Replicants, it's not a simple cost equation but also the kind of abilities you can acquire. If you are copying ghosts versus ghosts you are getting involved in a micro battle where if he wins you lose your caster energy, shields and the game and if you win you get to not die having spent more money and supply. | ||

Its just a unit that lets you pay more for some of the other races units cause yours suck......... oracle is just bad for so many reason from a design standpoint....... so they fix ultras and buff BC AGAIN yet carriers get scrapped without any fixes!?!@? DERP DERP lets get rid of capital ships and give them a super expensive corsair and you need a fleet beacon to build it!!! nexi recall is the only thing going for toss this expansion. looks like I will be playing PvP's in vanilla/WOL like all the other toss who don't switch over....... | ||

NOW I CAN GET MULES BITCHES!  It's true that protoss has the least economic potential. MAYBE this could change something, but honestly probably not. But I think people are hating a little too much. We don't know how good the oracle could be, though it isn't all that exciting. | ||

It lets you build Z or T units. If I want to use those units I would just switch races.... Replicate is such a gimmick and is NOT what toss needs to fill the gaps in the race.... | ||

Toss gets 3 units but we lost carriers so really we are + 2 on units Terran has a unit that is just a transforming hellion so they dont really gain a unit as much as a unit is being tweeked Zerg gain 2 units and lose nothing and change nothing so they are +2 on units in the end really every race is getting about the same thing for additions | ||

Multiplayer HoTS is just a continuation of WOL multiplayer to make it better. | ||

I think most of them are shit and from what I've heard pro's say about Defiler in BW was that sure it was a skill momentum but a boring ass one that made for boring games. The rest are just a trainwreck of units most of them... | ||

I think you really need to see how replicate will pan out. If you could get workers it will be great, though I imagine that would be difficult. But I do have to agree about tempest. Mass mutas are powerful because of early/mid game muta timings. The unit isn't interesting at all. But I really think the nexus abilities really do help in filling in the gaps. The defensive ability will help against terran and zerg cheese AND help PvP a ton in early game, and pvp still desperately needs help. And the recall will allow the toss to be aggressive. | ||

Huh... I really think you got it. Spot on, dude. Your insight in flaming is pretty amazing. Those "crazy" units are in the game you are playing. The same bitter people whinged about them the same way you are whinging about proposed new units for the next expansion. Relax, chill out and enjoy - don't be that nerd Tastosis do impressions of, just don't be  | ||
