Wow. That was the best batch period. The new art looks great (the Infestor looks amazing) and it sounds like they have added some more macro to the game (the dark pylon proton charge). I can't wait to see the game in beta.

I love how fungal spore sounds. It infects one unit, then when he dies, he explodes doing AOE damage. Sounds very nice against grouped marines.

It is similar in some ways to irradiate but with its own twist.

EDIT: Its like irradiate meets corpse explosion (my favorite D2 skill)

Lol reavers back into the game!

As for the new zerg, it's just the old zerg with pixel shaders. For the better, I wonder how much horsepower do we need for our zerg to look just as good.

I like the old zerg models more. They were more cartoony and flavorful, and the new ones just seem kind of too serious.

The Terran mule sounds cool though (obviously them trying to add some macro).
hmm.

i think they saved information to draw attention from dow2 which was released today i believe

they can't really keep spam releasing games to compete so they'll just save up a bunch of good info and then drop a bomb around the release date of something, i expect they'll do the same with beta release

they should make queen = hatch, since they are giving the queen "hatch" abilities.

I don't see any units getting abilities which didn't already got one and they added the dark pylon, overall this thing makes no difference at all.

Great move by Blizzard. Adding more macro by adding interesting unit abilities is much better than weirdo mechanics. That's the right way to go imo. Very well done.

Eh, they've only added abilities to two buildings (Dark Pylon, CC). The queen was always a caster unit even in SC1 so I don't see what the big deal is.
It felt like gravity.

Pretty much, and with fungal scourge they might even be the new worker line raiders :p Perhaps this was blizzard's plan all along, they gave Protoss so much new fancy, interesting stuff that they just moved the best thing from protoss BW (the reaver) over to the zerg. Reaver drops are just too exciting to leave out of the sequel.

All that's left is a sweet, interesting mechanic for Terrans and we're all set =).

i meant making the queen the walking mode of a hatch. Zergs can be compared to ants where the all minerals/food are transported to the queen.

So my idea was tog ive the queen the ability to sit down and evolve into a hatch or make it the other way around, giving bases the ability to evolve to queens.

Everything is better than a wc3 hero for Zerg. =)

ahn,i would like to know how these mechanics allow you to macro with screen changes, i mean, u can still summon the big scvs remotely by hotkeying the cc's and calling them

Wrong. Mules are called from drop pods you need to click to target the location they will be built on. You can even target them offensively to act as scouts. You can call them anywhere on your LoS. Karune just said this on the bnet forum:
http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=15211803043&sid=3000

Both others requires targeting as well. The queen need to target a hatcherie and the dark pylon needs to target the probes. So effectively all 3 mechanics require you to go back to your base with the screen to boost your economy.

I criticize Blizzard a lot when they do shit such as the gas mechanic. But we also have to recognize when they do something right. This time with these new macro abilities I think they hit it right on spot. Now it's just a matter of balancing around the numbers through testing.

So the 3 race specific macro mechanics are:

1. Dark Pylons for Protoss
2. Mules for Terrans
3. Mutant larva for Zerg

One thing I notice is that the mechanics for Toss and Terran both allow the player to mine faster while the zerg mechanic only allows the player to spend minerals faster. That is really good for me, as a mediocre player who struggles to even spend all my minerals, but I wonder what effect this will have on pros for whom spending their minerals is not their limiting factor.

I am not trying to say mutant larva is bad...I love it like heck, but I wonder if it will help casual players more than competitive players?

There's a mercenary hero ability (Soul Burn IIRC) in WarCraft III that is the same thing.
Darkness called...but I was on the phone, so I missed him. I tried to *69 darkness, but his machine picked up. I yelled "Pick up the phone, Darkness", but he ignored me. Darkness must have been screening his calls.
