Unit Clarifications

Thanks for this!

Your getting the real deal, which is cool.

I forgot to ask about your trip, was it great?

 

I'm smiling in the pics, aren't i?

 

Can you tell us a bit more about the Swarm Clutch? Is that the one that activates when the Hive is attacked or is there more to it than that?
Thanks for the clarification on the other units. I reckon they should have kept the Archon's old name, just to differentiate between the old, pure High Templar Archon and the new any Templar Archon.

 

Really, Roach cant attack air, Blizzard stated that by themself in some interviews. That was a typing mistake.

 

Yeah, it was better with the twilight bit in the name, since they are just not the same Archons anymore. Anyway, thanks for the clarifications jon. Is it possible to tell some more about those Swarm Clutches then? Are they like little buildings, or are those the little flies that come out of the buildings? I just do not get it anymore. Also, is the Creep Tumor just an ability that spawns creep, or is it an actual object created by the Queen that produces the additional Creep?

 

Fo®Saken i think its a building, else it wouldnt cost minerals would it?

 

Well, it has other abilities that cost minerals as far as I know, so it could be possible. I just want to make sure that there are no more mistakes being made about this by myself and others.

 

Yeah, the "attacking" buildings cost minerals, and the other abbilities cost energy as far as i know. Joneagle_X you have a mistake, because Blizzard stated something else: link: http://www.starcraft2forum.org/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=47&topic=6420.msg162506#msg162506
Notice the green ooze on the left that looks like its flying at the stalkers on the cliff, there are several more of these green blotches, all of them have a roach facing in the direction of the potential projectile and have a toss unit in the same direction. Any ideas? Wild speculations?
The Roach shooting air was an error in the tooltip. It doesn't currently shoot air so I don't think it has too much overlap with the Hydralisk. (Source)

 

I have to pop up for this responsibility...

As far as I know, these differences are all from what I have translated from Chinese into English, if I get you right. link:http://www.starcraft-source.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2683

And yes, those which you have denied are all true; but yes, your clarifications here are still all true. The only reason here is that Blizzard used different builds of game in the conferences held in China, America and Korea.

Therefore, I suppose that only concepts and settings of SC2 are important to report----data change rapidly, but these settings and concepts may survive longer.

 

Where do you have the information from that they used different builds? On the same day?

 

We have to come to this conclusion for both speakers of these different pieces of news are all honest guys.

And also, many participators of the Chinese SC2 conference came up with same information, like paralization of Thor, so these are definitely true; but yes, none of Korean or American reports mentioned these differences. Thus the only possibility is that "there are different builds which Blizzard let us play".

Anothing to mention for "Blizzard changes builds of game very often" is the absence of Medic. Everybody can recall that Medic was in the video (and slaughtered by Zerglings), but not in the game for her job is taken by Medivac Dropship which confirmed by Cavez. Blizzard itself has changed the build between the video was made and the release of Zerg ---- that should be the most obvious proof that the builds are changed rapidly.

Edit: One of the differences between Korean and American builds is that Korean Zergling hits for 3*2, but American Zergling hits for 5. This is why those data on SCLegacy were once considered forgery by my workmates in China before Chinese conference ---- too many things are different.

 

In what video was the medic? Not in the gameplays videos i saw.
Edit: But that matters nothing, because the site that reports what i writed, were at the same place as Jon.

 

Medics were shown in the 9 minutes Zerg gameplay video from Blizzard instead of players, right in the beginning part when lots of Zerglings attack Siege Tanks, Marines and Medics. You can see one Medic running away after all tanks and soldiers died, and can also hear clearly the dying sound of Medic on about 00:21.

 

here,in the first part of the video we can see the medics.

ah, it is nice to have this clarification, but most of it for me is bad news.
First of all, i wish the archons had some sort of difference in them, and secondly the thor needs some variation to it.

 

Dont quote the people above you please!
Welcome!
And read the forum rules!

There are no medics, only marines and perhaps ghosts. But no white and sexy medics.
Edit: ok i heard it, but couldnt that video just have been made before they changed builds?

 

One possible answer may be "Blizzard change their build everyday"... and this may explain that in four days (3.10 in Korea to 3.14 in China) we see 3 different Queens.

 

What different queens? They all had the same abbilities as far as i know.

 

i think the queen has 2 "evolution",normal queen->Lai keeper->hive ..something,so somebody think there are 3 kind of queen
