1 thor at a time rofl


now im starting to see why its the zerg expansion, we definitely win.

 

[Raelson]

I'm very skeptical of HoTS.

 

[Corran Horn]

I DONT LIKE THESE CHANGES!

 

[Holden]

might as well recall it starcraft 3

 

[syllogism]

It's a thor in name only obviously

 

[Dooraven]

It's a thor in name only obviously

well obviously, but they said that they didn't like hero units so they removed the mothership but then added a Hero thor? WTF Blizzard

Carrier RIP

blizzard?

dont tell me you took out the carrier
dont you fucking tell me you took out the carrier

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

blizzard?

dont tell me you took out the carrier
dont you fucking tell me you took out the carrier

They sent the carrier to a nice farm with a bunch of other pets where it can run free!

 

[Wedge7]

Damn, alot of changes, cant wait

 

[MrKnives]

Do we care? Almost nobody used MS and almost nobody will use Thor (probably) Also maybe they will remove it before it's released.

 

[Zen]

Mothership is starting to be used to great effect in ZvP. It doesn't feel disruptive (like the old Mothership was before the beta) so I wish they would have kept it.

DEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPP


seriously.. what the hell is blizzard doing

Returning the Thor to its originally intended status I guess. It was originally going to be a 'only 1 at a time' a la mothership.

might as well recall it starcraft 3

So is it worth your $40 dollars now.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Only acceptable if they go back to the original megathor size/art (if not a little bigger).

 

[Yoshichan]

Finally we can throw the Thor out of the window

Fucking worthless unit

 

[AppleMIX]

blizzard?

dont tell me you took out the carrier
dont you fucking tell me you took out the carrier

I love how people bitch about taking out the carrier when nobody used it when it was in the game.

 

[syllogism]

Heh, that ultra burrow charge looks almost like blink

 

[a176]

or, you can take out the dumb fuck units that cause people to not build carriers

 

[Holden]

THIS THIS AND THIS

oh god it all looks so good

 

[Holden]

Ice maps... now i dig that

 

[MrKnives]

I dig ice maps. Mushrooms look underwhelming though. Damn I want gameplay video's and opinions from people playing it

 

[Corran Horn]

I hope some are single player only.

 

[MrKnives]

I hope some are single player only.

All these showed ones are MP

 

[Holden]

I hope some are single player only.

i hoped too... But it's for MP =[ hopefully they remove some of them...

Oracle can warp buildings away to stop attacks on your own structures, or stop research for enemy structures
Oracle can see research or production of enemy structures
Replicant can transform into non massive units
Mass recall now available on Nexus
Recalled units are unable to move for a few seconds
Warhound is good at killing siege tanks, but has a short range
You can only have ONE THOR ON THE FIELD AT A TIME, but it becomes BIG AGAIN LIKE IN ALPHA/BETA
Thor attack and health increased
Thor gets a massive bombardment skill
Bombardment skill hits ground (probably means air attack is gone)
Bombardment requires a skill similar to siege mode, this requires a fusioncore and an armory
Battle Hellion has higher health and hsorter range
Ghost cloak changed and now spends a specific amount of energy, lasting for a certain period of time
Ghost cloak is no longer an on/off skill
Battlecruiser gets a cooldown skill called "limit reactor"(?) that boosts movement speed
Reaper loses d8 charge attack
Reaper gains a HP recovery skill
Viper inserts parasite into friendly units to make them detectors
Corruptor loses corrupt and gets a new skill called "absorb"(?) that damages enemy structures and turns them into resources
Banelings can move burrowed
Hydralisks gain a speed upgrade
No more overseers

Beta! CHANGES WILL BE MADE!

 

[MrKnives]

Beta! CHANGES WILL BE MADE!

For sure. I'm pretty sure they will make it work somehow. Also I'm liking the Viper, a lot.

 

[Holden]

Ya prob the best news about HotS

And the worst is the thor lol;

I guess the next expansion zerg will have one lol;;

 

[Rubashov]

I'm not digging the overseer removal. This is actually making Zerg scouting problems worse, isn't it? I liked Changelings...

vipers seem kinda fast;; and they have to be able to come out soon if overlords don't give detection

LOL at oracle make building dissapear

 

[Dooraven]

the oracle warping away buildings look awesome. Base trades no longer means protoss is screwed lol

 

[MrKnives]

Only problem with Viper as detector is 200 gas but tbh I will build a spore every single game and smile if it means I get Viper instead of Overseer

the oracle warping away buildings look awesome. Base trades no longer means protoss is screwed lol

Being contained hard. Send oracle to base on other side of map.
Warp nexus and whatever other buildings you can.
Recall army.
Later brohan.

 

[Corran Horn]

Just give me damn Arbiters

 

[syllogism]

"warp" probably means stasis/cloak. You don't actually move the building anywhere

 

[Holden]

Just give me damn Arbiters

Ya! i feel ur pain

"warp" probably means stasis/cloak. You don't actually move the building anywhere

Euh corruptor give you money, so im pretty sure you can move buildings

 

[Dooraven]

Recall is 75 energy lmao? Also Marauders are removed? Fuck. Yes.

 

[Holden]

Recall is 75 energy lmao? Also Marauders are removed? Fuck. Yes.

MARAUDERS GONE? FUCK YA!

if they remove half the list of changes they made, i'll take back what i said on blizz

but seriously... wayyyyy to many changes

 

[MrKnives]

SOURCE? That would made my day

Hugo you confuse me. At first not enough changes then too many changes?

 

[syllogism]

Of course marauders aren't gone since there is no new bio unit. There's even a marauder in one of the screenshots above

 

[MrKnives]

[Dooraven]

hold on reditt stated they're gone, have to check the source lol. TT.

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

Hugo goes from FUCK ONLY 9 UNITS NOT PAYING FOR THIS SHIT FUCK BLIZZARD to "TOO MANY CHANGES?"


lol

 

[Rubashov]

"warp" probably means stasis/cloak. You don't actually move the building anywhere

Yea I doubt you can teleport enemy buildings somewhere else. Sounds like a temporary phase-out to deny damage for defense, and pause research on offense.

 

[MrKnives]

Nestea and MVP to MLG Providance

 

[Holden]

Hugo goes from FUCK ONLY 9 UNITS NOT PAYING FOR THIS SHIT FUCK BLIZZARD to "TOO MANY CHANGES?"


lol

I moslty meant quality of the units dunno why i said quantity and i was expecting some removals so i didn't happen and didn't expect so many diffrent new spell/upgrades. Oh and i thought you blocked me?

 

[Dooraven]

TIL reddit is not a good place for sources

http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/lk3t9/first_thing_im_going_to_try_when_hots_is_out/

Some people stating that the marauder was gone, have to verify now lol

 

[ultron87]

I am officially hyped for the expansion.
