Ultimate Heavy - Assualt Mech, Thor Revealed

I think you're right. I watched the Protoss gameplay demo on slow playback speed, and the termal lance looked like it starts off as a bunch of skinny beams when first fired. I guess the screenshot just happened to catch both colossi just starting to fire their beams.

 

Sorry to upset you, but that was Scary Movie 4 My freind

BirdOfPray, add this flash to the bottom of the post

Nah it won't upset I just forgot,I won't cry*sob sob*...

 

Remeber Thors can be built quickly according to the story. So if your playing an island game and the Thor counts as a building, you can salvage it and build it elsewhere :good:

 

omg salvage it? I would love that,so I build until the Thor is nearly complete and stop the procoess and wait until it is necessary,if not I can just salvage it.

 

If thats the case can you salvage another terrans abandoned thor?

 

Hey I can see this as a new mechanic. If you kill an enemy SCV that is building a structure you can bring in your own SCV and finisht the building yourself then it is yours for less price/maybe free.

 

Such a mechanic didn't work in SC1 and I doubt it would work in SC2.

It would simply show up as an enemy structure. I can see it being infested, though. That would be badASS!

 

.... you gotta be kidding me resuming unwanted/unfinished buildings?what are you guy on crack?cause you guys are brilliant.

 

Cliff jumping didn't work in sc1 either. This is not SC1 If you can salvage structures why not finish an ene,my building and make it your own

 

That would b awesome. Like kinda of implement the same thing that they tried in CnC3 only make it better. Taking over the building/thor at a lower cost. That way it would make you rethink where to build it etc

 

Remember thogu this isn't the build a unit jack an already built building that was one of the crappiest things ever. I mean an incomplete building

 

Conclusion : it won't happen.

 

I think it might be possible to highjack teh thor in this manner. Maybe not buildings but i guess it could give us something to hope for? Is there anyway to suggest this to someone in the know?

 

I'm sure we'll consider passing this on to Blizzard, but I highly doubt it will pass the more experienced members' opinions in the first place, let along Blizzard's.

They're not going to allow you to literally commandeer an opponent's "building." While it is certainly possible, this would be an extreme imbalance. If you could take over their construction rather than destroy it, you could even further turn the tables on them with their own construction in their base. I don't see this as an implementable (word?) feature.

 

Please the message that we don't like shield for marines?

 

Not so much buildings and things. But just the thor is what im most concerned about. Lets face it if your going to spend a lot of minerals building a super weapon, you better have it secured or be ready to face the consequences. it would be there own fault for not taking care of it i guess? All those who have played CnC 3 would probs know what im talking bout with the engineers being able to steal other races dead big units

 

Seriously I demand that they remove the shield.
For the sake of the Diminion.

 

The shileds not THAT bad. Slightly out of place i agree. Unless they bring out another melee form of marine with a batton sort of weapon? The shield would suit another melee marine

 

zzzz,shields are for pu$$ies...anyway bliz is also unlikely to remove the shield...
