The New(er) Hydralisk

Re: Naga=Hydralisk

If anybody even bothers to go onto starcraft2.com and read the actual backstory to the units, the Hydralisks are mutations of a race we'll likely never get a glance at unless the Sons of the Storm do some off-time sketches or concept art of them.
Pff.
Naga.

And Light: Don't take offense, I'm being a grouch today.

Edit: Someone deleted their post, I didn't double post. Pasting what I typed...

I didn't even see a projectile, they just wave their Grim Reaper arms around and a witch does damage to whatever they're aiming at.

 

Well whatever happens they need the green acid spine attack back.

Maybe it isn't so early cuz it would own Stalkers since their bonus is armor. They also kinda rape Viking, even tho they get a light bonus against them (I think)
And another one would be because there is less air threat since Protoss doesn't have a light AtG attacker.

Hmm it actually seems like they're balancing the Hydralisk around the Protoss...

This is what they should do:
Darken the Hydralisk, make it slight broader, it seems really fragile and weak.
Give it the green attack as that distinguished the unit and it was unique.
Make it kinda arch over, makes it seem more bad ass.
Make the Hydralisk darker since it is an ambush attacker anyway. The only thing ambush about it now is its invisible attack.
Get rid of those warcraft tusks and return the double jaw.
Make its whole design consistant with its self. Much more like the cinematic model.

 

Yeah! Double-jaw FTW! \o/ That's the only thing I would like to change tho.

 

agreed, the cinematic hydra was best looking hydra ever. Remodel it to that and it'll be perfect in my eyes.

 

Indeed. I can't get over how frail and geeky it looks. Its as if it got hooked on warcraft and evolved extra claws for faster apm.

 

I am not a big fan of hydra atm in general but from visual perspective I think it looks quiet well except from the attacking animation which is seriously not well done.

 

Yeah, the attack animation is fucked up. It really need to change, who wants to look to Hydralisks dancing? And then the BC captains must have laughtd so much that they clicked on the suicide button or what?

 

Agreed and @ Psionicz. If you look closely they still do squirt green acid in there attacks.

 

Only at ground, at air they have no attack "bullets". Blizzard stated that themself in one of the interviews (99% sure)!

 

Oh wtf thats lame. Did they mention changing it?

 

As far as I know its just unfinished animation, I seriously dont know where you take all that information from, comrade.

 

I really dont have the time for a link...
Im pretty sure it wasnt an unfinished animation, else they would state it wouldnt they?

 

Mabey there thinking of making it a GvG unit only. Wow if they do that then SC2 is no longer worth buying.

 

Well Ill rather belive that the quote was a fake or there was an error in the Matrix because there is no way that Blizzard is releasing this game with this change without having Soviet Union releasing all their nuclear arsenal on their headquaters. I can promise that.

(PS: forget that I said anything about nukes, we are peacful and harmeless country!)

 

Yeah it really look stupid with:

Yes...of course......*Start dialing the CIA*
Im sure they will change it.

 

@ Laz: Why would they make it only GtG? It's the only unit for the zerg besides the queen with GtA. Ling, roaches, and lurkers are all GtG.

The hydras must have GtA in order to not overlap with the cheaper GtG units. Making it onlt GtG would make it impossible for zerg to fight air units and make the hydra fairly useless, making the Zerg suck in general.

 

Exactly so why would they keep it with out an anti ship animation. What are they shooting air at them?

 

The zerg arent finished yet. Animations and attack power hasn't been finalized. Even the units aren't done, there is still a possibility of something getting axed or owngraded.

 

Thats what ive been saying. Im sure they will change it.
