For like 5 years I thought his mouth was hanging wide open and he looked like a complete retard.  Many years. Still looks like a duck. | ||

On an unrelated note: I always assumed muta’s moved through the same mechanic in space that let guardians just float there. As for suspension of disbelief - mine was broken when they replaced the wraith with the banshee: The terran military’s new Space Helicopter. | ||

Not everyone, including myself had pre-knowledge of ' suspension of disbelief '. A better way to have written it would have been "Is the infestor's ability to spawn infested terran's too unbelievable?" I'm even willing to bet if a new thread with a poll asking that was made the difference between results would show a significant effect. | ||

Sure it would be useless in ZvP and ZvZ but so was the queen’s infest terran command center in broodwar. And the Queen's Infest terran CC was largely useless. Making a primary ability that is v Terran Only is a bad idea. They need to make a less powerful version of the ability that works against ALL buildings Zerg or Protoss. The early "Infest building" had those 2 problems 1. very powerful (shut down a building And get reinforcements) 2. Terran specific lore wise If an "infested building" 1-continued to operate for its owner and 2-spawned units that lorewise could come from an 'infestation' in any races buildings [as for the lore saying you can't infest anything Protoss, just don't use the term "Infest".... Protoss units can get corrupted, and neural parasited.. so just use a different term] Then you would have a workable ability (as I believe this would be) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=98344 And as for realism.....I always figured Zerg air was based off of wierd biological functions that allowed them to manipulate gravity/self telekinesis.... something like that (after all they can teleport minerals from one Hatchery to another, and teleport units from one Nydus Canal to another.... they can do some pretty high tech stuff) | ||

what i'd like to see: the zerg building there own infested terrans out of their own building, not from larva make the guns and armor fleshy colored have them make a squishy organic sound when they shoot the infestor can transport up to (balanced number) of infested marines that way no summon spell, no units with guns coming out of eggs, keep the general gameplay aspect they seem to be going for though | ||

Basically what it is. A caster with an ability vs. terran, and an ability vs. zerg. Infest command center isn't the reason that the queen isn't used, after all... Just saying that there is some precedent for something that's good against just one race. And think about it, presence of such things should make the game easier to balance. | ||

Too complicated. simpler version: All 3 races now have defenses against Zerg Building "Infestations" so the Infestations are temporary. Unless the Building itself is Killed, and then the "Infestation" is free [of course as a Zerg building it will die without Creep] That means that "planting an Infestation" would require 1. Infester Energy 2. Losing one of your own buildings 3. Killing an enemy building The "Infestation" is then essentially a defense building that acts by spawning Temporary units | ||

For like 5 years I thought his mouth was hanging wide open and he looked like a complete retard. lol...what a ...censor the word... wow, i mean seriously...how can you not know what protoss don't have mouths? when you read the instruction book it says they don't talk! they communicate telepathically. they are all linked telepathically and they communicate that way. HOW COULD you think they would have mouths if they can't talk? anyway, interestingly enough, they don't look to have nostrils of any sort, furthermore, beaks go outward, the protoss look nothing like ducks. protoss are more like plants than birds. so it makes a lot of sense. i think they didn't explain it until the books were coming ou because it's just one of those things that doesn't sound cool in the game to introduce them...i mean you didn't have terrans going on about eating hamburgers or hotdogs or even drinking beer or whatever...so why talk about what the protoss were eating? of course it's entirely possible that this kindof rule will be eliminated with the new game, as it's supposed to be more immersive than the previous. certainly the previous game was quite the opposite of immersive, yet it was still good of course, and i'm referring to the story. another thing is the protoss never sounded like they were talking, they always sounded like they were...thinking loudly...like they do in tv shows and movies where it shows you what people are thinking...it sounds like that, not like talking... anyways you guys must have pretty bad eyes, it's obviously his shoulder and not part of any kind of lower jaw. so yeah, protoss don't have jaws. but hey, zerg do! | ||
