Plain and simple: it seems that a lot of people on here, not to mention other forums, feel that this new unit sucks. Since SC2 is in beta and there's a good chance that if a significant amount of the community gives input, positive or negative, can impact the development, lets go to the polls...
Poll: What do you think of Soul Hunters?
(Vote): Very Good
(Vote): Good
(Vote): Ok/Don't care either way
(Vote): Poor
(Vote): Get them out of sc2
In your post, give your answer and *WHY*. If you think that it could stay with modifications, say that, etc.
Personally, I think the unit has no toss-feel at all. The concept of the floating surfboard is pretti ridiculous and when in mass like the video, the lazers just look like blobs on the screen (though i don't mind them for the colossus or warp ray.) I don't think it's got any place in the game unless it's completely retooled (and renamed)
|
Which one of these choices implies only a modification? I just wish they'd rethink the build up over time damage of their attack.
I don't really care about this "copying" business, as they steal about as much as anyone steals from anyone in terms of ideas.
|
the poll is just for your opinion of the current unit. you put in your post if you'd like to see modifications or just eliminate it all together.

They just don't look cool enough to fit as a protoss.

Their role might be fine, but their looks and name are so damn lame. =[

The Soul Hunter is the unit that made me fear for the well being of SC2.

sc1 has badass names in general.
nothing like "soul hunter".
also... please no more lasers T-T
the concept is alright, I guess? but.. hem. they're not badass enough.
|
they should keep the name pattern from sc1 where everything is mostly simple. siege tank. marine. shuttle. carrier. drone.
so for this unit, call it surfboard

lol. But true.

They should stay with some modifications, like replacing their concept, model, name, stats and removing the soul stealing.

what exactly is the concept of a soulhunter? I don't even know

People are quick to judge. All we've seen is a 20 sec clip of them, hardly enough to start ranting about how they should be removed from the game. -_-
And what's this about a surfboard? It's basically a protoss encased in metal riding a friggin' vulture! You'd rather prefer ANOTHER unit with spiderlegs, or maybe some nice wheels instead of hovering? Hovering fits in the protoss high-tech image. Hell, if you want to complain on looks, why not rack down on how banelings look like rolling snotballs? ~~

They seem very unnatural in the SC Universe. Unoriginal, and not at all too cool.
I would rather they be taken the fuck out >.<
Oh and they have a damn laser attack also, such BS

I understand, and fundamentally agree with what you're saying. But... well the Soul Stealer really does look like its "surfing", even the way it stands in that closeup. Maybe if it was on a disc and just hovered looking kinda grumpy, standing with its arms crossed it'd be alright. I'd say change the model, and we'd be getting somewhere.
I also don't like the idea of it getting stronger the more units it kills. That just seems a bit... Unit promotion-ish. I'd rather not see that in SC2 atall.
I also think that the lasers are just another way of bringing a kind of "anti-micro" into it. There'll still be micro, but you've got to know exactly how long to leave your unit firing before you run, y'know? Could be interesting, but it'll make hit-and-run with laser units almost pointless. (especially the warp ray)
I like the lasers on the Colossi, and the Warp Ray looks like it could be cool. But I think "smaller" units should be confined to bursts and single shots (and burning plasma balls of death).
Between the relatively fast moving Soul Hunter, Stalker, and the new charging Zealot, Protoss look like they're getting hella fast army. I always kinda think of the Protoss moving at a somewhat stately pace, as if to say "You have the chance to get the hell out of our way, now we suggest you take it". Looks like they're going to be totally different this time round, but thats cool!
Unfortunately I don't know which "option" to take in the Poll to express how I feel about it. I kinda like it, but I don't like a lot of the things about it. Wow that sounds kinda stupid, oh well.

The Soul Hunter looks like Terran, and the name also sounds like Terran.

i think at this point everyone knows this isnt even beta and that it's just a few seconds. it's merely just comments on what you see. and so far, a lot of people dont like it =o

I honestly believed (and still do) that the Soul Hunter is a prank. There is no way that Blizzard, our favorite gaming company, could put such a cliche and misplaced unit into SC2. The 20 second clip of the group of Soul Hunters was ridiculous - they float slowly up to a CC, some green electricity shoots all over, you have NO idea what's happening because the crazy laser weapon looks so ridiculous, and *poof* goes the CC. Then *poof* goes some Terran units.
*shakes head*
