Well, heck — then we could just forget the Nydus Worm.

I forgot about the nydus worm as soon as they ruined it.

[Aldrius]

NO! shhh if they take this out then I'll leave your responsible...

By all means. :b

They just need to make the Infestor more exciting.

Then burrowed movement on it will be cool.

Well, heck — then we could just forget the Nydus Worm.

...why?

The whole point to the Nydus Worm is speed and to be able to bypass terrain and stuff. Burrowed movement doesn't make anything any faster, and it doesn't allow stuff to bypass terrain. (Can't burrow under buildings or cliffs).

I forgot about the nydus worm as soon as they ruined it.

The way the Nydus Worm works now is best. The unit Nydus Worm was totally pointless. Being able to have a worm anywhere on creep is ssssoooo much more useful.

Agreed, the old Nydus Worm you had to have it roam all the way across the map just to put guys out, + buildings and cliffs would stop that, so this way having an overlord (which you will have lots of) spread creep and enable you to put a Nydus Worm is awesome.

[DemolitionSquid]

Lulz.

You guys actually think the mobile worm unit would be impeded by cliffs and buildings like a normal ground unit, and not be able to freely pass through the map like the Overlord and Medevac it was a counterpoint to?

I need a drink.

Infestors can't go under cliffs and buildings? Game set and match?

I'll try and use small words and slow speech so you can understand.

The Infestor is not the Nydus Worm.
The Infestor doesn't cross cliffs ON PURPOSE.
The Infestor doesn't cross cliffs because the Devs say so.
Not because the game engine says so.
There is NOTHING in the game stopping the Nydus Worm from being a full unit.
There is NOTHING in the game stopping it from crossing the map unimpeded like the Overlord and Phase Prism.
Only the Devs can make those choices.
And if the Devs decided the Nydus Worm was a full unit and could cross the map freely just like the other races transports, than it would be done.

Hmm, Nydus being buildable on Creep...where have I heard that before...
Oh yeah, SC1 from 12 years ago, like almost everything else Zerg \=/

Yep, because the Zerg could put creep anywhere on the map that they wanted to... new =|= better. Nydus Worm on the creep is WAY more useful than the mobile worm, even if it could go through cliffs, water and buildings.

All I think it needs is a salvage-esque ability.

Apparently you are missing the fact the mobile change didnt come because the nydus worm wasnt very useful, it came because the nydus worm was too powerful as a mobile unit. It is not more useful now, its actually less useful, on purpose.

They never said why they changed it. (At least I don't think so -- if you can prove me wrong then by all means!)

Creep-requiring Nydus is infinitely more versatile than cloaked ground-based transportation. (More useful for proxies definitely. Probably less-so for harassment and attacks, but still.)
