Info from Cavez

Touches upon the next Battle report, as well as the Mothership's current role. To sum it all up; once again, the Mothership is unique, and the next Battle report will be a TvZ! Woot.


What a bnet forumer said:

My demands WILL be met.

1. Battle report 2 within next wekk.
2. New Beta contests (I have a thread up about this)
3. An update about some Protoss Air
4. Some info about general Beta times (Your current target motnh would be fantastic)


Now, having just realised I can`t actually make you do anything if your not actually working, I will ask nicely

Please Cavez!!!! We love you!!! xD

How Cavez responded:

1. It's a Terran vs. Zerg game. I promise nothing on what week it will come out. You must continue to suffer and wait.
2. I don't know much about these.
3. We have Void Ray, Phoenix, Mothership, Carrier, Warp Prism, Observer. Mothership moves slowly, can teleport to any Protoss building, can do huge damage to a single target with Vortex and cloaks everything nearby on the ground (including buildings). Mothership is build-limit-one. This is done primarily for balance reasons. You use her as a base defense that can be anywhere you want in a flash. Sometimes you push into an enemy base with her. Testing on her remains a pain because she is so high-tech we don't see her in a lot of games. Right now she is reasonably cool, but we are not in love with her yet.
4. I cannot.

Please discuss.


Awesome.

Some other things Cavez posted:

No, they [Infestors] cannot move under buildings. The ground is too compacted from the weight of the structure and the Infestor cannot tunnel through. Even Protoss Pylons make everything really hard to move through because a strong magnetic force from the Pylon makes the ground beneath it nearly impenetrable by mortal means.

It's not really practical for the gameplay. You get "units inside units" if the the Infestor could hide under structures which is never a happy place to be. Selection gets difficult, targeting becomes challenging, etc.

--------------------------

It just came to me that it's a bit strange that mutalisk cocoons are the same as zergling and the same as ultralisk.
Shouln't they be diferent in size, color, stats and so?

Shoultn't a ultralisk egg grow over time untill it hatches? Shoul it?

Opinions, please.


Cavez answer:

Well, we do have different eggs for the Banelings. They also have different stats (baneling eggs are much easier to kill). There is no reason we couldn't do custom eggs, though I think after about 3-4 different eggs it would start to be hard to tell them apart?

 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

 

Exactly my thought. Hopefully they will showcase a wide range of units and abilities and not get stuck in early tier 2 or something.

 

Yeah, I'd really like to see more spread out unit usage like in original StarCraft games especially for Terran. Now, it just seems that they're all Thors, Battlecruisers, and Tanks for Terran. Of course, I'm not talking about the first Battle Report. I'm talking about all of the videos.

 

Yes.

Let's hope they do a NR5-10 on this next Battle Report. I wanna see all the units!

 

Has the lurker model been updated yet? Either way, it'll be fun seeing all the new Zerg models. Now what I don't understand is what takes so long to publish battle reports (or rather, gameplay). They said themselves that they play quite a lot of games... just leave the recording program on 24/7 and upload worthy games. The crowd has been starved enough... no-one would complain about watching HD gameplay from only one player's POV without any commentary. In fact, then we'd hear music and unit sounds and stuff... it'd be a win-win because they wouldn't need to fuss about speeches and rehearsing, and we'd get to see more gameplay.

 

About the Lurker: Last I heard they ended up thinking the new meaner looking Lurker model didn't fit, reverting to using the old SC2 model as a base to aesthetical upgrades.

 

naaww.... I wanted zerg....

 

its TvZ

Z = Zerg...

your getting your wants!!

 

poor zerg, they will be going down in flames. Terrans are on a face rolling spree. this should be an easy win GO TERRANS! WOOT!

 

i still want toss but thats just me

zergs cool too i guess...

 

Yup same here, but i think it would finally be nice to see some new zerg units in-game and all ^^

Altough i would have wanted a PvZ...

 

I'm just happy we're getting some zerg footage finally, be nice to see everything in game.

 

Hmm. Not sure I like the abilities of the MS.
I'd rather have it as an attack support ship, and give the Protoss better defenses in general.

 

I bet 5,000 StarCraft2Forum.org minerals that the Terran wins in the next Battle Report

@kuvasz: If only it were that way I think Blizzard just wants to starve us in case there are some people who are undecided about whether or not to buy the game on day one for full price.

 

to whome are you taking that offer up too??

i think the zerg will.

 

No one It was just a general statement / joke.

 

To me of course.

It's on

 

Is there even a way to exchange minerals?

 

Theres a donate thing under the shop drop down menu, so yeah.

Seriously who better to pay for a bet over terran beating zerg than overmind?
