FinalB055 United States15 Posts July 01 2008 16:40 GMT #161 I agree, there are much better videos out there. The vid doesn't really show us anything we haven't seen in other gameplay vids. And theres no real action, he just walks over the zerg, was it a comp? either way, pretty boring 30mins

TheOvermind77 United States923 Posts July 02 2008 00:23 GMT #162 Thanks for the clarification, Nyvone. That larvae indicator sounds REALLY useful, I love the idea...

Goosey United States695 Posts July 02 2008 01:17 GMT #163 The new gas macro mechanic is really really good. I love it, great step in the right direction of allowing pros to differentiate themselves by ultra-fine-tuning their builds. Blizzard restores much faith.

trollbone France1905 Posts July 02 2008 21:09 GMT #169 Update Starcraft wire Info about the changeling (interesting) - by trollbone Overseers can create a Changeling by spending energy. The Changeling is a small unstable Zerg creature with timed life. When he gets near an enemy structure or unit he will change shape into the correct basic unit type and color to match that player. So if you get near a Blue Barracks you become a Blue Marine. If you get near a Red Stalker you become a Red Zealot, etc. Enemy players cannot control the Changeling. It's still owned and controled by the Zerg player who created it. It is very vulnerable and can be killed by a single hit from just about anything. The Changeling cannot fight. He is just a shapeshifter, when he looks like a Marine that gun in his hand isn't "real." You can see that something is a Changeling by mousing over the unit, by trying (and failing) to drag select or by selecting the unit and seeing the name and portrait. What it does for the game: 1) Gives the Zerg a fun way to scout (though really they already have plenty of scouting options). 2) Makes enemy players constantly fearful of all of their own units. Is THAT a Changeling?! What about THAT GUY!? In live games it is pretty difficult to keep on top of the "Changeling Problem" if an enemy Zerg player is trying to sneak into your base. However when you do catch them it feels pretty good. It's something we have been trying for a few weeks and we thought we would include it in the WWI build to see what people thought.

GuYuTe- United States550 Posts July 02 2008 21:29 GMT #171 Absolutely adore the changeling idea. Still a little skeptical about the Zerg graphics there, though.

trollbone France1905 Posts July 03 2008 20:05 GMT #173 Update Starcraft-wire Fansite event Q&A part 2 (5 pages) (nothing really interesting) - by trollbone Dustin Browder said to me, other fansites and other press at BlizzCon 2007 that the game was about 50% done at the time, and he hinted at that the progress have accelerated over time, so it doesn't have to take another 4 years before launch - obviously! ------ An example is a new Protoss Pylon they have been toying with, a Dark Pylon, that doesn't give energy, but instead cloaks all the units around it. As it reveals Phase Cannons when they shoot, it is useful mainly to hide tech buildings. It wasn't added to the WWI build, and Karune did not know if it will appear in the game. ------

trollbone France1905 Posts July 04 2008 13:04 GMT #179 Update : starcraft-source Terran units and buildings statistics Zerg units and buildings statistics Protoss units and buildings statistics - by trollbone Edit : Zerg preview (Dont read,very misleading though, particulary about the Baneling, and the roach.) - by trollbone look about the baneling : The Baneling is a unit that I feel has been over hyped. It is fun to watch and interesting indeed, but beyond basic harassment, it falls short. The Baneling is too weak to send into battle, and although it does do massive damage, it is extremely hard to deliver effectively. A few marines can kill a baneling with out it getting close enough to kill them. With that being said, the Baneling excels in gorilla attacks. Morping a Zergling into a Baneling takes very little time, and because of this you can use the amazing speed of Zergling to get into someone's base, and then do a mass morph into Banelings. This however, is really the only effective way to use Banelings that I have found. He didnt even use burrow...... The writer is a noob, i think Edit 2 : Terran Preview (nothing new, poor insight) - by trollbone The Jackal is the new assault buggy that was the replacement to the Firebat Gosh , its the replacement of the vulture....
