EPTI havent seen anything on the streams.
If there isn't.. does this mean that they'll be adding new units still, or are these the units we're left with any they will just be nerfed/buffed.

Edit: Nevermind, as of 4 days after my initial post (9/11/2012), they said they have decided to not include it in multiplayer for now. | ||

All the way through WoL i wanted some sick new worms. But i watched the GSL the other night, and it seems like they can be a viable strat  New worms in multi-player would be great though. | ||

the ones that atk buildings however are meh. they seem to do dmg very slowly (2 cannons were able to kill off 2 of those things before the cannons themselves died) so i doubt they will kill much of anything at all before a small group of rines kills them off. + warp ins from toss should be able to very easily deal with them, so im afraid its going to be a unused feature unless they buff the DPS on those things significantly. of course that all can change since thats just a custom map and not official nor final, but where did he get the models from tho? | ||

1 - The HotS beta is MP only (sauce) 2 - If they were SP only, why wouldn't they include other SP only models (splitterling/gorgeling etc) in the patch? Why just the nydus models? 3 - The power of hope is strong with me haha | ||

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/6551205085 The Nydus Worm changes we had in mind before the beta began were causing us a large number of balance problems. We are not planning on putting in anything new for the Zerg at this time. With all the new stuff the Zerg have in the expansion we think the Zerg have plenty of new strategic options to keep the game fresh. Like all design decisions we reserve the right to be wrong, and change our minds later. For now I would encourage you to evaluate the Zerg with what they have in the Beta today and give us feedback based on what you are seeing now. | ||

The problem might be that the sc2-team doesn't know how to reconcile dramatic changes to gameplay with the lore. In my opinion, they should've made a rough draft of the multiplayer first, dug their heels down and said "No matter what, we're not changing this &§%# draft.", and then have written the storyline to match. Barriers and obstacles by necessity leads to innovation. This is why newer games often seem stale compared to, say, games made in the nineties. The technology we have available today with regards to game design is so flexible that innovation oftentimes is lost. Take warpgate for example. It's cool but a root source of many problems. Solution: rework it. Make it cost energy, make it inferior to gateway in some way, remove it altogether, I don't care. Then explain it in the campaign. Terran or zerg might have %&#§ something important up for our poor pals the protoss. They subsequently respond with other, new technologies to compensate. And voila, we suddenly have a rough element of our storyline. I mean why the hell can't oracle have cloak like the arbiter? "Duh, I dunno guys... We might screw something up. Let's just give it something lame instead. That way we won't have to change anything else." It feels like whenever they come up with something exciting, their initial reaction is to nerf it to hell, when instead the reasoning should go something like: "Wicked cool! Let's give the other races something crazy as well!" I mean COME ON Blizzard! You've had TWO YEARS and this is all you have to show? The beta has begun and you're still hesitating about major multiplayer elements? You have good ideas, but you have to commit to them. | ||
