| Fan Site Q&A #5 - SC2 Armory | 10 months 1 week ago |
|---|
| by Tiger0211 |
The fifth batch from the Fan Site Q&A series has been released. This time Starcraft 2 Armory's questions were answered. Read all of their interesting questions and answers there. Here are some of the most interesting questions/answers from their batch: Karune wrote:1) Blizzard, how attached are you guys to the proton charge/mule extra macro-for-money system? I know nothing is set in stone at this point, but will these mechanics in all likelihood make it into the final game? - VoanThis is a mechanic that we would like to keep if possible. Because the game is not yet in beta phase, there may still be tweaks and changes to these mechanics, but we are looking forward to players trying it out themselves in beta. We will continue testing the macro mechanics internally and we really want to see how the players will adopt these mechanics into their gameplay. 3) Brood War Mutalisk micromanagement is an important aspect of the Terran vs. Zerg match up. Blizzard has been reported to be trying to implement some form of the Mutalisk stacking bug. My question is, how well do Terrans deal with stacked Mutalisks now that Irradiate is no longer in the game, Medics are higher tier, and a single control group can consist of much more then the eleven Mutalisks currently in StarCraft: Brood War? - UrsusThe ghost's snipe shot, which deals 60 damage (and ignores armor) to biological units like the mutalisk, can be a good defensive ability. The Thor's anti-air attack also has +2 damage against Mutalisk's Light armor. Additionally, the nighthawk's hunter seeker missile gives splash damage, making it a great counter against mutalisk stacking, considering it does 150 damage. One missile can effectively 1-shot a whole stack of mutalisks if the zerg player does not try to dodge the missile. Even though players can group up many more than 12 mutalisks in a stack now, with abilities like the Hunter Seeker missile on the field, they may still want to think twice about it. 5) If the Zerg Infestor uses neural parasite on a unit, will that unit still have all upgrades / abilities if the player researched them? - 5c012ch3dYes, the parasited unit will have all upgrades / abilities. 8) Can Blizzard give a well detailed explanation on how the new mechanic of the ability hallucination work. It was said that it can spawn 8 fake probes, how many then to other units? Zealots, stalkers, immortals, air units? Can it be used on allies (Zerg and Terrans)? -spartan198By using 100 energy, you can spawn one of these sets: 2 zealots, 2 stalkers, 1 immortal, 2 high templars, 1 archon, 1 void ray, 1 phoenix, 1 warp prism, or 1 colossus. You can only spawn Protoss units.
For all questions and answers check out Starcraft 2 Armory's site. Karune will be posting all fan site Q&As in this thread.

Yep, the Science Vessel is scrapped. EMP was on the Ghost a long time ago, then removed for a while, and now (recently, but this isn't the first time we've heard it) is back on the Ghost again.
#10 begebies13
Yep, though it'll probably be in the editor.

For one, mutas are very fast and can easily out run the hunter-seeker missle. They are so fast, that they can probably out run it and then target it, thus destroying the hunter-seeker missile.
Second, 30 stacked mutalisk can easily "one hit" kill a raven fairly easily, let alone a command center! This really bothers me that they might allow mutalisk stack because this really puts balance in jepordy.
#14 Brandonsc2
+1 to this comment because lets face it muta stack is cheep and will be overpowered with max mutalisk. Also the animation for them stacked together will look ridiculous especially from the side view lol
#15 LoVeRBoy[E]
I mentioned this in another thread somewhere, I said the exact thing. I agree that muta stacking is cheap, hard to counter, very strong, and shouldn't be allowed.
#16 Undifty
Sure one can select 255 units but Blizz may add/change something that makes stacking harder the higher the number is. I'd really want to see the current Muta stacking in action before I say anything more.

They are called hardcore gamers and they will find a way. There are some people who just spend 24/7 accomplishing these goals.
It will happen my friend, it will happen.
#20 Undifty
But if they are so hardcore, don't you think they'd win against you anyway?
#21 AUDIE
No! I'm da Major B***h! trust me, I'll have atleast a 8-1 ratio record.
I was also top 50 in WC3 3v3 and top 200 with 1v1 ladder.
I had a 10-1 ratio at my peak in SC/BW and I will be the destroyer

AHAH i have a bad feeling about you going against audie. I think he would woop you so bad you would cry and ruin your key board but of course when starcraft2 comes out you all know who will be the master yes its me... I will be playing non stop for 3 weeks 1v1 comps on insane until i master it and i will then take all you on ahahaha
#24 Undifty
You learn well, my padawan.
#25 AUDIE
lol, thanks for the vote of confidence, but yes I will work very hard in SC2 to be as good as I was in SC/BW. I am really looking forward to team ranking as well. So I will need a partner or two if your up for it. Plus Undifty and I can work with you in getting better.
#26 Brandonsc2
Sounds good to me. Together i think maybe just maybe we could do a 7 of us vs 1 Korean player and win!! Hurray. Good day master
#27 LoVeRBoy[E]
At my best we may have been an equal match, but now it wouldn't be a match for Audie. I'd be a warm up. It be like a bitch moment in the showers at prison. It'd be like gang rape but by one person
