Introducing "Terrans" new Armory

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Hey thanks for the compliments guys. I've been working on it in Maya for the last couple days so it's really flattering to hear you like it

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Good job on the juicy info Taz, and welcome to the forums. You and Ych9 are just out to give everyone massive heart attacks. Keep it up, you guys are rocking.

Not to pressure anyone, but I'm just sooooooo ready for any little bit of Zerg info. I've been ready, so please. :upset:

So Banshee is what that thing was, I've been wondering since day one.

Oh, I gotta throw another one in there. Badass sig ArchLimit. Nice to see a good looking DT again, instead of the ugly one in SC2.

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Amen, Remy, the SC2 DT is just shameful as of now. I'm sure they well fix its look though, people will start going wild over it just like the Siege Tanks. The Zerg info will come, have no fear ;D, and I'm sure that it'll be as incredibly mind-blowing as all of this Terran stuff is. Blizz is really hitting the unique race thing home, doing a damn good job of it too. I'm pumped.

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Hahaha!! This week has just been awesome for news! The first set of Terran units, these set of Terran units, Siege Tank getting remodled, Soul Hunter gettin the guillotine....I'm so happy right now! I want Blizzcon to come soon so i can see the gameplay for the Terran!! (im guessing that's what's coming)

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

I agree 100%. Blizzard is on the ball this time around, not holding back any punches. To make up for the poor showing at E3, we're getting hit left and right with all sorts of "leaks" and good news. I really can't wait to see a gameplay video with the new Terran forces. When is Blizzcon exactly? I'm not on the ball about that kind of stuff...

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Did they can the Soul Hunter?

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Yes, Remy, the Soul Hunter didn't make the cut. I'm glad.

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Yes, they have indeed. Check the frontpage, Cavez(I think?) on battle.net forums had a little spiel about unit training camp and gave us the news that the Soul Hunter had indeed not made it through.

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

the viking is a transformer

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

I....I think I love this thread.....Dear sweet Lord, the Terrans are simply....Amazing....I'm speechless.....

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

I've located and read through the main Korean article.  The primary source claims the article was exclusive.
The site is Daum.net which is pretty legit and main stream for the most part, but I can't verify if it is exclusive or accurate.  The journalist who wrote it up aslo isn't a SC gamer, I can tell, but I'll do my best to get the gist of it across.

If any of this is already known or already up somewhere I apologize, let me know if that's the case.

- The Ghost as an ability to summon an air-drop pod of some kind where upon landing, you get 6 marines ready to go on the battle field.

- The BC has some kind of AoE plasma attack ability that can target ground.

- The Viking is built at the factory, the air form requires a researched upgrade.  Can attack ground in ground form and attack air in air form.  Is weak vs armored units.

- The Cobra can attack while moving without stopping, a strength when facing slow units.

- The CC can load 5 SCVs to protect them like a bunker, but also lift off with 5 SCVs loaded for easier expansion.

- The Planetary Fortress can target multiple units at once.  Holy crap(<--- that one's me).

- The Bunker can still only load 4 units.

Again, if all this is old news, I apologize.

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Hell its new to me...Hahaha I just LOVE the covert opness of the ghosts!! I'm guessing the marines though have to be already made though, if not, then that's MY holy carp

I expected Viking to have to be upgradeable in some way, i thought it would have been ground form though.

I don't know what to think of Cobra though...

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

the banshee looks awesome! don't call me noob if i mass banshee and blow up your base


EDIT: THE VIKING. REPLACING THE GOLIATH I PRESUME?

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Mass Banshee and Starscreams!!!! *passes out*

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

The Viking would be a direct replacement of both the goliath and the valkyrie.

The banshee IMO, might be a toy for koreans. Koreans like things that have high mobility and high maneuverability. I'm also genetically incapable of not loving muta and vulture for that reason.

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Has the skills of the Goliath AND the Valkyrie, my two favorite Terran units!!! I'm getting EXTREMELY excited for the Terrran!!

Hehe, I just can't get enough of the Viking and Banshee...the two units that i wanted to see the most

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

well, this cobra business. you don't have to micro it, because it moves all the time? sweet!

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

ZOMGWTFBBQPWNAGETECTONICBURLS!!!
Terrans are transformers going burls!
All their units can adapt to almost any situatiom.
Blizzard has the right idea. Make every race seem unbalanced by rocking soo much.

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Excellent find Remy.
I will be editing my Terran Unit/Mechanic post.

 

Re: Introducing "Terrans" new Armoury

Actually, I think that will be more reason to micro it. It's what you had before with high mobility ranged units, but now it's a little better against chasing melee units. Ability to micro will still be apparent with novice vs veteran IMO.
