- Is there a list of hotkeys you could copy paste for us to see?
- Can spawn larva be used on ally hatcheries?
- Do you need sight to use nydus canal or can you literally just point and click anywhere?
- I noticed warp gates build units WAY faster than normal gateways. Why would anyone stick to a gateway? Like where is the strategic choice in that?
Yes, you need sight.Quote:
Do you need sight to use nydus canal
If a unit is moving while burrowed, is their some kind of animation that lets you know that's occuring?
Similar to the transparent movement of Dark Templars (as long as their moving you see an outline).
Ugh, that was poorly written. But I hope you guys get what i'm saying.
Can Infestors use Neural Parasite on High/Dark Templars? Also, if you mind control 2 Templars, can you make them merge for an Archon? If so, will Archon be your unit too?
See on page 8, question asked before by me and answered.Quote:

It's more of an anti-Mutalisk weapon. Vikings and Corruptors, cost-for-cost, tend to take them out.Quote:

The same as it always has since the Immortal was first shown three years ago.Quote:

Yes and no. They give food, so yes. But they don't give more food than an Overlord, so no.Quote:

Which race do you think has the best GtA unit/mechanics right now?
And do you always need to micro your units to win?
Terran. Mass Marines is nuts, and Thor, if they're positioned well, are pretty darn good too. Hydralisks and Stalkers are pretty good as well, however.Quote:

Ah, the legacy of what SC is about. Micro definitely plays an important aspect but as Nicol said (and is evidenced by all of SC's progaming today) if you can out resource your opponent then just A-move (for the most part). It's why SC1 is more macro oriented now than micro oriented.Quote:

Can the corruptor corrupt an HQ and if so, can you still gather minerals/gas from this HQ?
I'm sure it can...I don't know how I think through the infestor but I read somebody was able to corrupt an SCV for a long enough period of time by spamming an ability that he was able to build a Commander Center as a Zerg player.
Does corrupt work like Mind Control then?
If you are asking for Buildings corruption, no. You just Corrupt buildings so they can't do anything with them, like D.Web in SC BW from Corsairs, except it worked only on defensive buildings and it has AoE, this one doesn't afaik.Quote:

Thank you Ramiz; I was more specifically asking about Corrupting units - Can the coruptor still do that, and if so, does it work like MC? Based on what Hamshank's saying it seems to be like MC, but is it?
No it can't.Quote:

FOR this HQ? Yes.Quote:

Thanks. This would have been really OP otherwise.Quote:

Thanks.
The ally gets control. I'm not too sure about resources...I think they're still kept separate.
If they're defeated nothing happens. There's a message that's displayed when ANYONE loses all HQ's and is revealed soon later and there's a message that's displayed when somebody has NO forces left.
What do you mean by that? I've used lots of Mutalisks together. They are effective at various things. But if you're talking about precision Mutalisk micro, I can't help you with that.Quote:

Does Neural parasite work on SCV?
Yes and you can build with it . (Unconfirmed from SC2 Beta forum post that he built a Commander Center with it after multiple ability usage, so if you can you can't do it in one ability use)Quote:

So you can constantly neural parasite an scv just to finish the CC and build as T?
Can you blink past a building wall?
Like, a make shift wall made out of buildings? Yes.Quote:

Is there a duration for Zealot's Charge ability Will it stop charging after X seconds if he doesn't reach his target by then (the only possible scenario being another zealot charging at the same angle though)?
It must have a range limitation. I doubt you can just charge from all the way across the map.Quote:

I honestly can't say whether they pause, but they aren't "mostly useless" for microing scouting units. They were instrumental in me being able to get some macroing in while Drone-scouting a Terran before the wall-in.Quote:

It didn't help me win, but only due to fail on my part. Bad unit mixture plus being out-expanded.
Does creating a sunken colony still create creep?
How much sight does the overseer gain from staying still? Is that mechanic still in the game?
There is no sunken colony, dude. It's been replaced with a spine crawler which is treated almost like a unit which can mobilize and root itself. This doesn't generate creep, unlike the creep tumors and nydus worm exits.Quote:

Does upgrading an Overlord to an Overseer increase its sight at all then? Or is there a sight upgrade for Overlords/Overseers to be researched?Quote:

Thankfully, no.Quote:

Anyone been using the Bnet voice chat? Easy to use? Good quality?
It's in the patch log to add in. It's there and "functional" right now but they're patching it because it's not going at the right volume right now. I've used it and so far it's only worked with LOA and I could hardly hear him.Quote:
