I for one am looking forward to seeing what kind of rocks DB can come up with for the final expansion. My guess would be rocks that respawn. | ||

Can tele to any nexus you have. Purify ability makes it into a powerful photon cannon. Can upgrade it to Mothership later. Can mass recall. This is early game unit." It's pretty simple really. The "unit" is basically a Nexus-addon that you can build at very low tech. It floats above the Nexus. It has a few energy-abilities: - Transport to other Nexus - Mass Recall - Purify (become a powerful cannon for a short time. The Battle Report shows it 2-shotting Hydras) Once you're at Fleet Beacon tech, you can upgrade the Mothership Core to the proper Mothership that we all know and love. Just like the Mothership, you can only have a single Core in the game. It hasn't been made clear whether you can have a Mothership and a Mothership Core at the same time, but the wording on the tooltips I saw in videos seems to imply this. | ||

ZvP seems fun for the Zergie, but I can already imagine the pain that TvX matches will be. Hydra+Flying defiler. Because fuck your marines and tanks. FFE+Stargate. Because fuck your economy, I got mine. Oh well, its a good thing I play random so I suppose I can switch fulltime to the race that is least rage-inducing. PS The mines are a joke, even less useful than the hunter seeker missile. | ||

They made Hydralisks work outside of ZvZ in HotS, sure they could do same with Battlecruiser. | ||

Oh yes, Battlecruiser, I had almost forgotten because it's so useless. Clearly you don't play too much TvT. If you mech in TvT you will use battlecruisers as your late game the majority of the time. | ||

Also its funny how day9 all game long explains that vipers, hydras and swarm hosts are so heavy on gas and yet the zerg had 4k banked gas :D (them oracles !!!) | ||

I'm just having a major headache thinking what terran can do against other races late game. Sure, warhounds would be effective against the new mech tier three units (and the uberbuffed ultralisk), and with battle hellions would be able to tank for them. But then what can counter air? Vikings would be viable i guess but would be terrible against corruptors, and wouldn't have that range advantage against tempest (although I do think that 22 range is never going to make it). Seeing how everyone is saying that siege tanks would be useless, the battle hellions would have to be pretty OP to keep balance (viper/ling/bane sounds quite scary mid game as terran). And Blizzard, please take away the base worker count and war hound autocast. Those just make the game wayyy too simple, and just reduce the skill needed to play. I hope you realize that a lot of people playing SC2 enjoy not only the epicness in gameplay but also the mechanical and strategic skill involved. as far as i know, non of the zerg units are mechanical. so the missile launcher thing on warhounds will be completely useless against zerg. but its not zerg that im as worried about as terran, its the oracle. terran will have to leave units behind at EVERY mineral base, and im not talking 3-4 supply, to take down those 75 health shields fast enough, probably around 3-4 marauders will be needed per base. TT i think ima just race-switch to protoss already. | ||

Was just pointing out what i think blizz has in mind with mech. TvZ similar to WOL while for TvP we have a mechanical marauder. Not sure i like that. | ||

(-Oracles will be a pain in the ass until you get a viking out) -vikings will still rule the skies uncontested I somehow predict TvP to be heavily in favour of Terran. That seems to be the opposite opinion of all the vocal people in this thread lol. | ||
