I find underground movement to be probably the most annoying gameplay element in the game. With cloakers, you can tell that DTs are in the base or Banshees because of the shimmer and can reach *situationally* and tactically because you can guess where they are. With underground movement, you see absolutely nothing. You have to guess where the zerg went and it causes headaches beyond worry.
wrong
It is a bit too hard to spot if you aren't expecting it at a very very specific spot, but yeah, there is an animation.Quote:

P.S. when they move it gets a little little darker.
didnt know there was an animation lol :p
Maybe its just too hard for some settings to notice
I really never realized it. Can someone post a screenshot of it please?
I haven't seen it.
So are you saying this because you find that underground movement is presently overpowered? Or simply because you think that it should be similar to cloaked movement in this way? These are of course two crucially different questions.
I just made a replay showing both roaches and infestors burrow moving. It's a very light shadow as the animation, it's very hard to see. I've never tried to post a replay so it won't be up right away. I'm going to google how to find them now.
EDIT: Ok I have it found and uploaded. This is the link. http://www.slingfile.com/dl/lnj40/Ze...SC2Replay.html
The part where I move the burrowed units is about 10 minutes in or so. Just pick to view it as player 2 and center the camera over the terran base. I move a single roach and infestor and a group of both.
Hmm, I guess not overpowered but annoying. Currently when roaches sink, you have no way to see whether they are moving or not. Apparently people have proven otherwise while other people haven't seen it either.
