Wait, is there a custom game of the newest HoTs uppdates?


Search "HOTS Custom 2". The map is by XenoX. Afaik, Howling Peaks and cloud Kingdom are out yet.

HOTS isn't even at the start of the beta yet. And out of all people ... why you? .....You know the actual final cooldown duration? Cloak length? Nothing is fixed and you want to point out things that aren't even in beta-status, really? That's what the beta is for.

It's just so sad.

How about, 25-50 energy cost to activate. No cost to maintain it, but no regeneration while cloaked. If cloak is turned off, cool down to re-cloak. Cloak would have to be turned off pretty much after every fight, or ghosts wouldn't have very much energy for the next fight. Maybe also auto-deactivate cloak if energy drops below 25 or so.
If it's so late game that Terran has >25 ghosts and wasn't punished AND opponent has no detection or AOE, they should get stomped. Much like anyone who gets stomped for being unprepared to a Colossus switch or broodlord/ultra tech switches.

Stop calling it premature. He's just bringing it to people's attention. It's a stupid change that isnt necessary.

Wow avilo, from your idiotic rants on StoG, to this whine about something that is something I wouldnt even say is probable of making it into the game, I must say you really do take the cake for the whiney terrans. I play Terran, and yes the race has design flaws, but why dont you spend more time trying to work around them rather than complain over and over again. If the race is so broken how come Taeja just won MLG arena and Ryung made top 4 GSL? Stop trying to make things easier for yourself and start getting better by being better.


Stop deprecating the man's effort in improving the scene. He probably contributed a lot more to the community than you do.

All the other design discussions have received generally positive responses, despite being vague as hell and having basically no original content. This is pretty much the only worthwhile one so far, because from the last time we saw HotS it had this feature and it could very easily be argued, as Avilo did in the OP, that its a negative change to game design, balance arguments aside.

Why would you ever want to decloak if it costs alot of energy to start it, no energy to maintain it, and you can recloak for a good while afters?

It's not premature at all. If an opponent doesn't have detection they shouldn't be able to wait a couple seconds and be able to kill the ghosts. Why should this be any different from DTs?

It's stupid change. Hopefully they don't change it at all or remove cooldown and enable autocast for cloak.

put the nuke nerf in perspective, just build warhounds. I mean seriously it's really hard to imagine what this nerf has for implications on the balance and in future meta game.

I would be happy to hear what exaclty Avilo's contributions are.

At the moment to me avilo is the champion of the terran whine, which is detrimental to the community.

i agree with alivo , that a big nerf to the ghost, again , and he right to post it here so people know .

ghost need a buff vs broodlord so they can be used in t v z again , not a nerf or something like that .

What the fuck is wrong with you people? If devs didn't want feedback on the game / expansion development process, they would never release it for playtesting, they obviously do want feedback from the players so the argument of 'THE GAME ISNT EVEN OUT YET' is about as stupid as you could possibly get. The whole point of having alpha / beta versions and letting players try them out is to get feedback on upcoming changes and alter stuff that is deemed bad BEFORE the game is released.

Complain about balance anyway.

Avilo.

why do you think blizzard goes through all these alpha and beta testing crap b4 launching the game? they want to test it to get more user feed backs. people have been playing the custom Hots its not like the game hasn't been tried out yet. he has a point and any nerf in the future for a race is a nerf imo

Because you need to regenerate energy after sniping/emping. Cloak by itself isn't useful unless there is no detection or AOE in the enemy army.
