Re: Starcraft 2 StarGate details

Well particles and movement (which these things use) are automated once you set the start and end point and the duration so they are actually pretty easy to do regardless of the number of frames.

 

I'm guessing you won't actually SEE the ship getting warped in and only the unit popping out like in the previous blizzard games?

 

if protoss air units can warp in and goes out from the stargate.

i hope we can also see units coming out from the war factory like siege tanks or vultures. or is the war factory too small.

 

Yeah that seems to be the case. Sure tons of games have shown you the unit in production but maybe they don't want your enemy to know what you are making and how far along it is.

 

i don't like units to be just popping out. we should see them warp in or comes out from structures. like scv come out from the command center entrance gate etc. that would be cool. zerg has no problem with this, we can see them mutate and get out from the eggs.

and paragon the rate of your posting is super fast (well you beat me in a blink of an eye), anyway i think you can catch up with coalescene and mc2 sooner. goodluck. owerup:

 

Though since this is starcraft, unit production is much more quantity based. Disruption of unit might just be a nice addition strategically. Imagine buildings in warcraft 3, you see a tower being built, you know to make it a priority to kill it because you sense the threat and the advantage to killing it while it's still vulnerable. Now imagine if you see a mothership being built (if this is where it's built), wouldn't it be worth it to suicide a few ooooh say mutas, to kill it so you don't have to deal with it after completion? This is also a nice reward for constant scouting!

 

you can always cancel the training of units or building of structures if you are underattack.

the animations of units coming out or warp from structures is just a few seconds (may be about 2 seconds) not that it will affect the game that much.

 

Seems like motherships get warped in rather than built (like it was in the gameplay vid) of course that could have just been for the gameplay vid but there didn't seem to be any pylon field there.

 

maybe you can summon the mothership anywhere on the battlefied. miners will easily be killed.

 

that would be too unbalanced, you could just pop a mothership in the middle of their base and bypass most of their defenses

 

yes that would be unfair, maybe they can only be summon in pylon fields.

 

in the gameplay preview, they warped the mothership in from no where, but then the mothership was also invurnerable for most of the time it was there to make the preview more exciting.

 

I think they just wanted a big dramatic entrance for the mothership.

 

That thing is sick, the CGI rendering came out awesome.

 

the summoning animation is too fast. i hope they delay it a little bit maybe for about 3-5 seconds. its a huge powerful unit after all.

 

thsi think looks soo freekign sweet!!!

 

I think u can warp ur mothership there were u an see the battlefield...

 

well from the demo we already know that you can

 

Or maybe its like Paragon said....Blizz just wanted a good entrance

 

I doubt it would be a starport unit though. Maybe it has it's own building or maybe it is like a call down but has to be called down in pylon range. Or maybe anywhere but it is warped in so it is vulnerable when it is being built and the build time in the gameplay video was just sped up a lot so you wouldn't want to have it built somewhere you couldn't easily protect.
