Is this the new macro for protoss?

Q u o t e:
Is the Obelisk still in the game?

The Obelisk is no longer in the game. Instead, the time warp ability which allows a building to produce or research faster for a set duration is now on the Nexus. This opens up several new strategies and the development team is really looking forward to what players will be able to come up with utilizing this ability during beta.

Wow. Nicol got his wish.

Need more info before I can pass judgement.

[Sydarm]

This will definitely be interesting!

So now all the macro mechanics basically amount to "push button to go faster"



Was kinda hoping for alittle more depth than that...

[Nicol Bolas]

Yep. No depth in deciding what to make produce and/or research faster. None whatsoever.

That's far superior to the nothing of Proton Charge. This is an ability that can substantially affect build orders, much like supply drop for the Terrans.

Isn't gaining a resource/tech/army advantage the whole idea behind the word "macro" in this game? I thought the depth was supposed to come from the choices between multiple abilities. Like scan vs mule and maybe fast tech vs proton charge.

There's incredible strategic depth to it. You basically are given a tool to speed production of anything in your build order, be it a research or unit. Although it's still gonna amount to "press the button every x seconds", but at least now players have some choice in what they want the button pressing to improve. And given multiple nexuses that'll just couple the decision making.

So basically this ability allows you to channel faster time into units or research.



Proton Charge allows you to channel minerals into units or research or buildings or supply or....





The big thing here is that their is something about the communities pyschi that thinks they are getting new and more options. They had trouble understanding that more minerals means more choices but now that its relabled "time" their excited.

Shut the **** up. We're sick of your stupidity.

A) THERE WERE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH PC

B) THIS FIXES MOST OF THEM

You're a goddamn lunatic. Go somewhere where your kind of mindless drivel is appreciated. Like TL.
