SC2 is a good game. I like it. It exceeded my expectations when I played today.

That being said, Terran has a helluva hard time vs Zerg now.

1) Infester has Dark Swarm. Infester also infests buildings. It also moves while burrowed. Furthermore, it is LAIR TECH.

2) Zergling speed upgrade also gives 1 atk and 1 carapace. It still costs 100/100 and has comparable research time as the original speed upg.

3) Roaches are invincible, really. Roach rush is incredibly powerful since no race has a solid counter to your initial 6 roach/12 ling timing attack. Unless they make that themselves. 6 roach/12ling can break 8 'sunkens', to give you an idea.

I will make a more extensive post later.

I just realized none of the stuff I just typed is about the dship.

OK, so I didn't know the dship healed until I played today and was like 'hey why is the dship emitting little yellow sparks?' and then clicked on it and it said 'MEDIVAC'. Heh.

I don't like it tbh. Browder didn't like it much either, but a lot of the dev team did like the idea, so they're going to try it.

They make a new build of the game every week, though, so it's not definitely in or out.



please write more!@

Random question:
Irradiate still in the game?
If it is, i can imagine all the decimation it can achieve, I hope its an earlier tech now that zerg has those qualities early in the game.

I suppose mines could kill roaches.


Irradiate got removed

Have they ever seen any TvZ games?
How do they plan on countering defliers, holding units at bay, and else, how would it be removed from the lore?

Irradiate was "the" spell for TvZ, they're gonna have to rebuild it from the ground up to contemplate terran's only versatile offensive spell.

I hope its something clever and mind blowing, its disheartening to know already the sci vessel is gone, probably one of the most unique units I have seen in a sci-fi game.

No Irradiate for Terrans. From the description of the "Disease" on GG.net it sounds a lot like Irradiate moved to Zerg though.

If Spider mines were still in the game then that might work. Reaper mines seem like they would be hard to hit with.

Last I checked the Nomad could create some kind of immobile mine laying device, and once the mines explode, the device would replenish the mines in the area.

Disease is actually more like plague/irrad combination. It damages a unit up to 90% of it's hp and is communicable.

Imagine TvZ with no irradiate, no medics, slightly stronger marines, slightly stronger lings, slightly stupider mutalisks, slightly later lurkers, and lair-tech defilers [without consume]

.. and roaches.

This is the reapers problem more than the game balancing problem.

Just leave the medics as they are.

Browder is the messenger and a part of the dev team, he is not the almighty god of sc2 development.

If you wan't to be creative, you need to be prepared to be wrong

That's why they do what they do. It totaly kills my hype level for terran, because i personaly don't like any of the new mech units anyway but it doesn't hurt to try.

That's why i don't like some of the threads here. I don't wan't to know these things. But i can't stop looking.

Thats one of the most stupid ideas I've heard.

Looks like Browder is aware of how bad it actually is. But I don't blame them for atleast trying it. I can't imagine that it will make it into the final build. If it does, well, wooopiwoooh.

Well, if for one thing, it won't make it to the final build due to massive community (negative) feedback. So keep up the (modest) bashing, please. I don't like the idea either, I want 'em cute chicas back.
Complete the cycle!

You all realize that they have designed, tested, and thrown away 5x the units that will actually appear in the game right? Fucking relax, it is an idea, and it will either fit well into the final product or not.



You are right, but they threw them away because the community stood up and told their opinion about trash units.
If we don't do anything they will probably stick with it because they think we like it. GO TO HELL FLYING MEDIC SHIP!

I want my medic!!!!!

I think this is an interesting idea to at least try and I wish people would stop whining and flipping out over every little change (and yes, this is a small change in the grand scheme of things). If you're determined to hate the medic ship no matter what you're probably going to hate SC2 so just forget SC2 ever existed and stick to SC1. The rest of us that have an ounce of creativity and open-mindedness in our body can wait and see.

I'm sorry but its not a small change at all. The medic was a unit that really affected the game in many points of view. Yes, its abilities are not used tooo often, but there are many examples of games where it were used and saved the game!

The most famous game was the on BoxeR used his Medics to blind 6-7? Carriers.
Restoration is not often used but when it was used it could save your vessels or battlecruisers. You could block your ramp with 3 medics or 6 and the Zerg was forced to run even with dark swarm or he needed to focus the medics.

Now, its a freaking flying ship with healing skills that cannot block, cannot do anything? It just takes away a part of the Starcraft soul we all love so much.

I don't want to be bitchy because I personally think the Sc2 Team is doing a great job testing, sharing their ideas and _LISTEN_ to the community, but you have to show your support or make suggestions to improve the game and my suggestions is that they should leave the medic, because Reapers don't need medics with them.

They are already strong and can skirmish and vanish very fast. If you want to make them stronger, give them a little more HP.

Please stay with the classic medic @ Blizzard

Blah, they should adapt these:
The tradeoff concept (example: run fast or heal, stim: more damage and hp loss, etc)
The terran ball of doom concept

It's still a small change compared to the likes of Warcraft 2 -> Warcraft 3 or even just removing medics entirely. There's still a "medic" unit, it's just flying now. Medics were always one of the least interesting units in BW anyway (the occasional medic-wall aside they were mostly just a War3 style buffer), so they could use a change (in this case, having their ability combined with another unit).

Starcraft 2 is already just about as close as it can possibly be to SC1 without pissing off normal people who actually want a 10-year-later sequel to have some differences from the original game. The basic mechanics, economy, etc, are exactly the same. The only differences are some units minorly tweaked and only a handful of truly new/original units. It seems ridiculously selfish for the "wannabe pro" community here to keep declaring the end of the world over what few changes *are* made.

This thread is just another example of knee-jerk conservatism from the hardcore community and should be throughly ignored by Blizzard. They should keep or cut the medic dropship on its own merits, not whether people reflexively whine over one of the units being changed without ever having played with it or even seen it action.

SC2 has become so bad now that it's at a point where it's just downright hilariously funny
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

Fine, then if you're so determined to hate it then fuck off out of this forum and take your thoughtless knee-jerk trolling bullshit with you.
