Blizzcon '07 Updates

just post the link, but dont hyperlink it. just so we could copy and paste it.

edit: ok its working now.
HOLY SH*T!

 

About the two noew terran flyers:

The Terran air units have also changed quite a bit. Predators are the new Wraiths, but they are not capable of cloaking or attacking ground units. Instead, Terrans rely on a separate ground attack air unit called the Banshee, which has a cloaking field capable of cloaking itself and other vessels. The Explorer Science vessel makes a return as the Nomad, offering similar functionality: stealth detection, EMP weapon, and repair capabilities. The Battle Cruiser remains largely unchanged, but it now has an upgradeable plasma turret (an option to the Yamato weapon).

 

I just saw it and omfg when those thors fired their cannons I was stuned

 

Mothership has no build limits now.
Damm, I wanted the Protoss to have that theme to have a superunit, but looks like Blizzard took that idea out. Looks like their role of the game is kind of similiar to the Thors in that they are late game power units.

 

what? you mean there can be more than one?

 

yeah

 

Yea, it is from this link:
http://www.gamereplays.org/starcraft2/task.php?nameid=starcraft2_multiplayer_preview&page=2
Exact quote from there:

The Mothership is the Protoss super unit, and currently there is no build limit. Prior to BlizzCon, only one Mothership could be produced. However, given the fact that it has some very strong counters and is very costly to build, there is currently no need to limit its production ability. This is the same reasoning used for the Terran Thor.

 

so its still a super unit, but you are able to get more than one because they are limited enough by supply and cost. and time.

 

Thor deserves more HP, but to loose his anti air. It has to be more conterable.

 

eh, I still think it is a super unit considering all the special abilities it has. One mothership and its abilities could potentialy change the whole tide of a battle. IMO, one thor can not change the whole tide....

 

i dont' understand savior drone, can someone explian?
it's also funny becuase savior is a pro zerg player.

when will the intermission end?!?!

 

it has 700 hp. thats a lot.

 

YES!!! CARRIERS ARE BACK!!! I honestly can't even put into words all the great things I'm thinking about the updates and how freaking amazing Starcraft 2 is going to be... oh my lord. Ecstatic is as close as I can get.

 

Carriers should rfecive something new. Maybe should get 2 interceptor incrase updates. +4 and +8. The +8 should cost a lot and take more time to obtain.

 

+8 would be way too overpowered. +4 is enough to nearly unstoppable with a fleet of carriers

 

Yeah but the carrier needs something new. Maybe a light attack, or a second type of interceptor. Just whatever. Or allowing it to transport units. its a CARRIER after all.

 

Wow, those Thors look ungodly. The recoil... oh god, the recoil, lol. I am seriously soooo stoked over all the updates and changes. I'm a little iffy about the Carrier vs Tempest thing, but it's still more or less a win win situation to me.

Oh, and Lemmy, I do agree that if Carriers come back they should get something new, but at the same time I'm not too sure if tossing an additional 8 interceptors per carrier would be a good idea because A) That's just a LOT of friggin Interceptors/damage and B) it might bog down processor power if people mass them at all, which many ppl do. It might just be overdoing it a little. I think if we were gonna go down that direction there could be an attack rate upgrade for the Interceptors, or faster rebuild rate, or something like that. OR, temporary enhanced shield or something like that. Like, +50% shield armor for 5 seconds for 100 MP or something.

This is just overwhelming though. I can't wait for SC2 now, I really can't.

 

That leaked video made me cream my pants, holy crap... the Animations are so fluid... and the graphics are amazing... Awesome.

 

Savior drone = 20 DRONES OMG !?!?!? lol...yes...
