Is the tempest still AoE? It didn't look like it in the battle reports and I didnt see it anywhere else in the thread. I am just curious No, it's a long range sniper now Watch the TvZ battle report. The zerg was able to easily move his affect hosts away from the group as to not cause a massive chain reaction to obliterate all of others. That's a fairly good indicator that yes, the players can see them but I wasn't there so I didn't get to see it first hand. But you lose that unit 100%. Terran losing 25 gas, you can lose a lot more resources. It's a lot more dangerous, than banelings. Question: What is the current attachment range of the mine? Some people say 5, some people say 6. It's 5, similar to queen range. Question: Does blinding cloud still prevent units from casting inside the cloud? If so, this spell will find some use in ZvP and we can probably see some micro war between casters in all of the vZ (viper infestor vs viper infestor seems very fun) match ups. Also what is the range of Abduct? Is it 9 or 7? In early builds from blizzcon Blind Cloud prevented from using abilities. Also Abduct radius is same as fungal Question: Do the locusts benefit from missile upgrade or melee upgrade? If it benefits from missile upgrade, it seems to work very well with the new speed hydra. If they have some range (like 2 or 3), why they should benefit from melee? | ||

If I am wright it costs 125 energy and only effects biological units?! So it would be effective on Marines and Marauders and these can easily escape from it with Stim. So why use this ability? | ||

Did anyone test picking up a unit in to a transport once a mine was attached? | ||

Someone who attended Anaheim couldn't use the Ghost's snipe - Blinding Cloud prevents Ghost, HT, Infestor, Viper from using their abilities. Maybe it prevents Blink, Stim and the other stuff too. | ||

Hang on... Locusts have 2 range, are they affected by guardian shield? If so I'm thinking PvZ is going to reflect a lot more of Brood War gameplay but with Sentries instead of HTs. PvP is going to be more annoying for me than it already is. | ||

The counter to Swarm Hosts is going to be Colossi, because they're the only reliable way we have of cleaning up things like Broodlings (and lets be honest: locusts are a variation on that theme). | ||

Zealots could still work to some extent, they can tank that 16 damage like a champ, so you'd need vipers or something to get to the colossi. Same way they're used to tank roaches. | ||

Also, I was explaining the whole collapsible rock tower thing to a friend and he asked if it would do damage to units who were on the ramp when the rocks were knocked down. I had no answer, but we talked about how it could work and it seems like it would be an awesome addition to include to make maps more interactive. Though the chances of anyone falling for the trap would be slim, it would still be an awesome treat for those who could pull it off. | ||
