Unit Clarifications

Dark Templar supposedly do not use the Khala, they have rejected its values.

However, the lore as I understand it now is that the traditional Khala embracing Protoss have shifted their views in such a way as to be able to exploit their link with the Dark Templar.

 

Direct quote of Cavez (Dustin Browder) stating that the Roaches air attack was infact an error in the tooltip with link:
http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?fn=sc2-general&t=637450&tmp=1#post637450

Therefore, we can conclude that Roaches attacking air was simply an air and would be removed later on. And perhaps Jon, I believe Dustin wasn't aware of the error during your time there.

Or perhaps, people were complaining that Roaches and Hydralisks are too similiar so therefore, Dustin made up an excuse ;D

 

It's possible. But I will believe it when I see an official release about it from Blizzard. After meeting with the dev team, a one sentence Battle.net post is not enough to convince me.

I'm totally open to the possibility, I'm just saying...

 

The energies that the Dark Templar use come from the Void, the original High Templar used the energies of the Khala. That is why they both turned into different ascended being upon merging. Now that Tassadar, correct me if it was someone else, combined the two energies and destroyed the Overmind with it, the Protoss have embraced both beliefs. Because of that, they can no longer choose to become a High or Dark Archon, but become a Twilight Archon instead. With that out of the way, why is it that the Twilight part in the name is missing now? Is that another mistake? We should send Blizzard the questions right away in my opinion. If we wait untill the end of the month, some people will end up going crazy here. I guess that Jon can ask Karune stuff whenever he wants, I can not imagine him being ignored now that they have met in person and all that.

 

Yea, I would love to have some confirmation with the developers too with alot of things.

1. Archon with power-overwhelming.
2. As stated, the Roaches anti-air attack.
3. Thors having the reconstruct ability.

I'm guessing that definitely, there were 2 builds out there. Otherwise, how come all the infos are so mixed up. Hopefully, Karune or any of the developers can confirm all this with us.

 

Some sites released info when they weren't even there, that's where some of the confusion came from. And no the archons dont have power over-whelming. The other two questions are a mystery to me as well.

 

@ Gforce, that's exactly why I was so skeptical about some of these news reports.

I'm not saying they're making it up, but I'd rather hear it directly from a site that was there. And only two sites are reporting these new changes, neither of which were present at either conference.

I will ask for confirmation at earliest convenience.

Unfortunately Karune is still in China.

 

Please also ask the devs about the "Power Radar" buff on Ghost; my workmates saw it on Chinese conference, no tooltip, and Blizzard guys there also did not know about it, which is totally strange.

 

I'm telling you, something is fishy here!!!!!

This is why I'm not listening to that Cavez post! LOL Don't know what a buff is...

 

Jon something is REALLY FISHY. What are Blizzard doing!?

 

A buff is a term used in WOW, which means a positive status, like a Defensive Matrix or the speed bonus of Stim Pack. It is still unclear about the "Power Overwhelming" and "Power Radar" (my workmate oathed that he really saw them); the former seems permanent, and little is known about the latter.

 

The swarm clutches are the green eggs we saw in the announcement trailer right? How do they work? are they a one time use - they hatch, attack, then disappear? Or, are they permanent - hatch, attack, then go back into an egg/chrysalis?

 

No, they're permanent. They launch multiple creatures. But they have very low HP, like 50 or 75.

 

are the new zerg defenses they only one time use like a baling or like normal towers that has infinite uses.

 

Please read my above post. It has infinite uses.

 

Why do the sites keep lying to us!?!? Why damnit!

 

it's not lying...just because of BLZ give us the different versions of game...so we got confused...

 

um no they didn't, there are two sites who are reporting false info when they weren't even there.

 

so whats the archon really do? i would like to know cause this is like my favorit unit next to the DT. i would like to know what the ablity really dose.

 

Gforce, please indicate which sites are reporting false information and reasons, in order to let us avoid these. Thank you.
