The Null-Flux Generator

This is what I have been trying to say. Blizzard will never do it. They are in alpha, so they won't be adding any abilities, or units very easily. They won't go for this. The protoss would just trash everyone else. It unbalances the entire game.

 

....5 shields per upgrade is not a lot, espexially with the cost. Mind you, this would be a different shield "layer" with slower regen

 

This but then there would be no point in having the upgrade.

 

...no point?
Why not?

 

It wouldn't help much it has to be like 25% shield upgrade. That will probably work.

 

...
would 15% work? round to the next whole number (so zealots would get +8 every time)
except units with 100+ shields, which then only get +15 shields per upgrade
the immortal's hardened shields do not apply to the new layer of shields
is that ok?

 

Ya that would. But maybe 10%. We don't want the zealots, or any unit to become to buff.

 

w/e ur the one who said 25%

it just occurred to me that stalkers actually have less shields than a zealot.

 

25% was an example, I didn't say it was good idea, or sticking to it.

 

god u people are all so serious

 

lol, I have balanced my own maps before. I know how high I can set thing, and how low I can set them to keep everything balanced. I made a map just like SC2, the races exactly the same. I got everything balanced. I did it all faster than blizzard. I did it months ago. It was just like starcraft. But a little different. Some of the units are the same. I can balance every quickly, and accurate. If I was balancing for blizzard, it would probably be done by now. But I am probably going too far. I have only balanced 1 map.

 

It's all nice and balanced until you have a few million people all examining it in a different light...

 

Powned. That is why I am looking forward to the beta, even while I have no key. When all those start playing, only then will we see how balanced everything is. Now there are just a few people in the dev team who look at the numbers. when thousands of people start using their strategies, we will be able to see just how balanced the game really is.

@Insanity
This is a discussion board. Did you expect people to joke around when you came here or something? :s

 

You know, replacing the Defense to Shields upgrade with a Shield Recharge Rate upgrade might actually work, because since Shields don't recharge during combat, it is only useful as a non-combat recovery enhancement.

200 Minerals/Vespene: 133% recharge (instead of +1 defense to Shields like in SC1)
300 Minerals/Vespene: 166% recharge (instead of +2 defense to Shields like in SC1)
400 Minerals/Vespene: 200% recharge (instead of +3 defense to Shields like in SC1)

 

What's up with this. Blizzard has a good shield system alrighty. You want to unbalance the entire game? The recharge is fine. With you want it better, then ask blizzard. But they won't go for it. Unless you do this for the other 3 races as well.

 

awww
i see what u mean tho and i also wanna add sumthing: double-u tee eff its not gonna be any good in combat so it means that if u wanna do that during combat, ur gonna have to micro like the guy in the sc2 battle report...CMON! T.T my fingers hurt from that u kno

 

Anyways what's wrong with the shield system?

 

The shield system as of now?
nothing, i was just merely throwing an idea out there

p.s.: YAYY YOU GOT A PIC
