Do people want HOTS to be the best game possible? I certainly do, and yes, nothing is in stone, that does not mean it's not worth it to add in feedback/community feedback on things that will make the game better. | ||

So why even complain about a unit changing without having played the game? Anyone can easily make a thread about how Battle Hellions can shred tons and tons of Zealots or any one of a million things but that would just shit up the forums. | ||

Anyways, you're right. While nuking lategame at this point of time might be too efficient when done well (you can even do a fake nuke into nowhere just to make your opponent panic, waste time looking at his bases/army, and possibly even pull off his workers which, if he does for a few seconds, will make up for the cost of the nuke), I don't think this is the right way to change it. If what they are actually trying to get at is to prevent mass nuking all over the map, they shouldn't change cloak, they should change the nuke directly (cooldown on that, not cloak). Though of course, terran lategame is already commonly known to be not as strong as the other races, so if they take away more terran lategame power by nerfing the ability to harass with ghosts/nukes, terran would need something else to compensate. Also it simply does not feel like a starcraft kind of spell. We've all been used to the classic cloak for a long time now, and remember their philosophy? Keep things simple! But now they propose to make 2 different kinds of cloaks? | ||

It seems a very dumb design change, but framing it as a balance debate starts the argument at such an unhelpful note. | ||

Blizzard plays around with all manner of dumb ideas during development. | ||

Blizzard intends that after initially using 25 to cloak the ghost will begin to regain energy back up to 200. | ||

We would still write it off because it is pure speculation. I don't mind the change, I believe that David Kim knows a lot more about the game balance than I do, and I hope he manages to keep the game as well balanced as it is. | ||

It seems a very dumb design change, but framing it as a balance debate starts the argument at such an unhelpful note. It's a pretty big change that people are unaware of, it's a hybrid design concern/balance concern to be honest. I honestly don't think changing the thread title will help against the bandwagon posters that see it's I that posted these concerns. The people posting like that simply should not post at all tbh or actually post up to TL standards and read the thread before posting. | ||

It seems a very dumb design change, but framing it as a balance debate starts the argument at such an unhelpful note. It's okay, all the races got buffs and nerfs. Terran got buffed with the spider mine, zerg got nerfed since I believe the overseer is gone, etc. etc. -_- Complaining about balance in a game that hasn't even been played is laughable. | ||

If you read the OP, you'd see it's not just pure speculation. I have played the beta at anaheim briefly, and regardless of how close or far the HOTS beta custom map is to the beta, it does have the proposed change on the map which was tested in an actual game. So no, do not write this off at all. It's a big concern. If a mod feels like people will post better by changing the title of the thread to "Terran ghost design change concern for HOTS" please do. | ||
