Once again, Karune has released more information about a unit. This time the Warp Ray, or should we now say Void Ray. Since they are now of Dark Templar origin, Void Ray seems more fitting.

Void Ray via Guide

Warp Rays, also known as Void Rays now, are especially good against high hit point units, as well as buildings.

Often, the strategy that sees the most Void Ray use is against Zerg, using these units to do surprise attacks or joint attacks. Many Protoss players who scout Zerg players going mass ground units, will fast tech to Void Rays in hopes to catch them without anti-air capabilities. Void Rays are also great to do an attack on their base while you have a diversionary force distracting them in another place. 2-3 Warp Rays could take out a Hatchery much faster than say that equivalent in resources of Mutalisks.

Maybe Void Ray is then more fitting yes.

But I wonder what causes all these unit name changes

Probably the storyline, they decided to make this unit is dark templar origin, and i agree that it suits better.

The void ray is colored in silver and not in gold so this name change is good, but I don't like the new name of the Jackal.

You, know what? All this naming changing might be good to some extent, but personally i would much rather have them spend time in finishing or blancing units instead. While, names of units that work together with the storyline is good and all, but i think too much time is being spent.

...and then blizzard changes the name of marine into... spacemarine. And fans wait and wait and wait... till the day when the last zealous fan faded in VOID.

ITS RIDICULOUS!!

It doesnt take long or much effort to think of names... people who think changing name takes away from actual development are a bit naive.

Maybe so but I don't really care all too much about names (Unless it's rediculously called)

but I liked it better to some more actual "game news" in terms of more updates and what not
