It felt much more unique as something attached that was the Nexus. There's no such thing in the game right now, but now it just turns into a flying queen with some different abilities. Yah agreed. I kinda thing adding a new building with allot of complex game uses feels more new than just another unit. | ||

I agree with you. What is the best way to voice our opinion to Blizzard, what do they read? (I have the feeling they read TL as they seem to know about the save the carrier movement) | ||

They say they have no clue when the release date for the beta is. Yay. | ||

Just saying, it didn't before, so they should change it - they even call it a unit now ^^ So pumped for BC damage buff, but the raven/creep hesitation miffs me because they were so "let's do this" about the zerg buff which was in many opinions more significant than this buff. | ||

You mean the units that's so fucking terrible and redundant from a design standpoint that you're surprised it didn't get insta-gibbed by the developers? Nope, nobody's seen it so far. Thank god. | ||

Yeah, I really don't understand this change. I'm not too excited about anything Protoss is getting, but the core stuck to the nexi was at least unique and had a strange dynamic where you could shuffle it between nexi for best use. Making it another slow unit is kinda mundane. | ||

No fucking clue what they are talking about They say they have no clue when the release date for the beta is. Yay. I understand their reasoning. It may have tradition, but it is really kind of a general purpose unit, that is by the way very a-move friendly | ||

As opposed to just tweaking the carrier so it can do its job properly..? I'm sad about the BC speed burst removal, I think that would have made for more interesting game play than more damage. | ||

I don't really understand how they can like the flow of TvZ these days, all it is, essentially is a greed fest. | ||

Raven buff/Creep tumor nerf = The raven buff was pretty minor, but would have a positive effect on helping determine balance because it will cause more people to take another look at the viability of the raven and provide more data for blizzard to balance. I see no reason to delay it due to a small sample of recent tourney results. The delay in the creep tumor nerf is a lot more understandable. BC change = good IMO from a game design perspective, even though it may be a little boring. Tempest/Carrier = I don't think I have heard a single person think the Tempest is a good idea. It screams BORING. I have no idea why they have tweaked BCs in the past and will tweak BCs again now but seem so adamantly opposed to do ANY tweaks to the carrier. I'm not sure but is the carrier the ONLY unit to never get a single change from release until now? Why not change the fleect beacon carrier upgrade to a range upgrade and make interceptor production free? It would achieve exactly what they are trying to achieve with the tempest but also a bit more strategic value to it since you can use interceptors as cover fire. | ||

I don't really understand how they can like the flow of TvZ these days, all it is, essentially is a greed fest. My biggest problem with how these changes (patch and upcoming HoTS) is the fact that the game is becoming less fun to watch as a spectator. I play Protoss, but I absolutely loved watching TvZ. Since the patch it has become far less entertaining to spectate. The new Protoss Mothership Core to me seems to do the same thing as the buffed queen. It makes early aggression really hard, and while this should improve PvP it will turn PvZ and PvT into more of a snoozefest. A lot of people already hate watching those MUs (I personally enjoy PvZ quite a bit - although I hated the period where Zerg was simply I MAEK ROACH - a viable, but boring style), and making greedy early strategies is going to make it even more boring. | ||
