 Yeah, this one is different, becasue, for some reason, DB actually said something specific - still, it was amazing to see the real face of monk for the first time (I am sure he could have been seen elswhere, I just missed it). It's kind of strange how I see all the TL people somehow, while knowing them only from their writing ... and it's almost always (the "almost" goes mainly to hot_bid) that the "real" (well, as real as a video) person gives a very different feeling. It would be really interesting to see some of those guys IRL. | ||

Remove the Psionic tag from Warp Prisms and Archons. The only other ability that has any other interaction with the Psionic tag is Snipe and both Warp Prisms and Archons are unable to be Sniped anyway because they are not biological. | ||

Not as retarded as in pvz, but still... | ||

Having a useless unit in a e-sport just for fun is lame. | ||

Archon can't be not psionic. Look at it, the unit screams PSIONIC!! | ||

I think Archons are ok. On paper they rape bl's but their range is so short it would be hard to get them in position past the broodlings and whatever ground support is left. I'm more concerned about Sentries. | ||

He seemed so out of touch in many of his past interviews. All the recent bruhaha must have been a positive motivation for the game hopefully. | ||

Test map: Seeker missile won’t require an upgrade Dustin doesn't believe this will change much Somehow i feel this is a massive change that may finally provide some very interesting new options for terrans... Raven rush? On the other hand, the fungal change won't really do all that much in ZvT i think, unless raven abilities' energy use is changed somewhat (pdd and hsm using a bit less possibly?), though pdd stopping fungal in the first place may be a big one.... | ||

PDDs arent exactly offensive, also fairly useless against everything except queens against zerg (note we talk about a rush here, nice they are good against BLs, but thats not relevant). Autoturrets? They get mopped up quickly, kinda like a joke version of the IT. And finally there is the seeker missile, only good if you have a bunch of them, and even if you got raven energy upgrade you still need to wait quite a while before a seeker missile is available. So in practise the zerg will have infestors before you got enough ravens with energy to do something useful. And then launching seeker missiles means that raven will die, it will get fungaled, which will be its end. Yes I think it is a good idea to remove the upgrade, to make room for something like a speed upgrade/casting range upgrade. Or just put them in by default. Hell they wanted something to break siege lines, ravens with alot larger casting range would do that (of course not siege tank level casting range, not even viking range. You can protect them with PDDs during launch. But significantly longer than current range). | ||
