I will say that I am definitely disappointed in some of the unit changes they've made (although the Nighthawk looks AWESOME!). However, the one thing that really, REALLY gets on my nerves is that you can't zoom in 3-dimensionally anymore. Sure, it's neat if you can just zoom closer or further away, but that you could change the camera angle, along with zooming, I thought was simply too good to be true. I simply can't BELIEVE that they got rid of that feature. . . . . .

Yea, what happened to the left and right camera rotation? That was pretty cool. Sure, I can live without it, but looking at the units and building from different angles is just really nifty.

Question: when you said 80 pages, did you mean that you copied and pasted all the text you guys typed and put it into Microsoft Word? Also, how often should we expect each batch to come out?

Buu i want my huge queen back!! T_T and unique.
I want the queen like before, maybe with a little extra hp in normal, large and huge.

Damm.. each day zergs looks worst.
Infester loose his infest abilitie
And now it has these F.. abilities.. ?

Roach suck without at least a jump skill with a big delay after use.

Too many ideas and dinamycs units for terran and protos..
And zerg? nydus transport is incomplete.

Protos have soo similar abilities, they need to choose..
Phase shift, antigravity, vortex. All are almost the same ****.

I think blizzard staff hate zergs

The Thor has potential. I think Blizzard just hasn't figured out what to do with it yet. Someone commented saying what civilization would build such a unit and only use it to hit air units. i couldn't agree more. they could make it be a small unit killer. they way i see it, the thor with its many guns can fire multiple shots at smaller units, like how the colossus used to, destroying waves of infantry.
and speaking of the colossus, i don't have a clue what they're trying to do with it. it's not as effective as the reaver in dishing out massive punishment. this unit needs a serious overhaul.
one thing that bugs me is the protoss can no longer recharge their shields... this puts them at a serious disadvantage. i think all races should be allowed to heal. the terrans with the SCVs and medivacs. the protoss should be given the shield battery and maybe someway to heal their mechanical damage. like maybe teleporting the unit out of play to heal and return fully healed. in this mode, they are given a 50% boost of their current shield levels but no mechanical HP. so if their shields are destroyed during this heal/phase-out mode, the building is destroyed. the zerg should be given somekind of coccoon mode, the increase their heal rate like the gargoyle from warcraft.

i think maybe they should give it a bit more mobilty its impossibe to macro at the current cuz of how slow it moves and do you think thety should give the seige tank a rail gun to make up for the redused attack in seige mode and increase cost

@Sinistha6: I think i can hear many of the replies already...this would reduce the differences between races and how unique each one is...for example while the terrans can heal in combat, the protoss need to get out of combat for the accelerated shield regeneration to apply, this cause terran and protoss gameplay to differ (and forces the god damn protoss to put their hands to some micro instead of leaving all the hard/challenging stuff stuck in the asses of terran players alone)...also it places the more powerful individual protoss units at a disadvantage (in terms of mechanical regeneration) to compensate for the automatic shield regen...pretty good i'd say

They have a point this could actual help the protoss becuse the prismmatrix can help them pull in andn out of battles. This also promets mirco in the protoss rather than constant combat.

NOOO!!!! *cry* My poor infester...WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?!! *cry* Giving birth to infested marines...phoenixs lifting guys into the air like a crane...and the poor queen...THE QUEEN!!!...Why? Blizzard was making it very definent that the queen was esposed to be literally that, the queen. Sheesh, like look at the alien queen (from alien, the movie) shes awesome, and kicks ass. Aint that what blizzard was trying to do? Also, either keep vortex or timebomb, not both...maybe make it a choice like with the BC, only different.


yey!!! i share your sadness...and i would have called you a brother if you included the colossi in your obituary list... XD

Stebo did you get 12 range for the carrier? I did, maybe im wrong.


12 is correct.


finally! i thought the carrier was being overshadowed by its now mighty terran counterpart--the battlecruiser...good thing it has 12 range to compensate for its apparent lack of boost

Yeah get the queen, collous, phionex and mothership back to the way when they were actual usefull. And how a insect make gauss rifles out of organic matter from its back??? Let the immortal be able to attack air that would be fair. But at least the carries are good enough to last aginst a battlecruser.
