Lurker Removed/Other Changes

[Jabber Wookie]

Lurker and Infested Terran have been removed
- D8 Charges is now a secondary attack vs buildings, no longer an ability
- Protoss macro mechanic is called "Chrono Boost" - Makes units and researches build 50% faster
- Marine / Marauder have Stimpack
- Roach has a new texture, and can upgrade to move while burrowed
- Ultralisks have a speed and armor upgrade
- Nydus worm can be built anywhere with no limit
- Corruptors have an ability called "Corruption" - Disables a building for a duration
- Infestors have Neural Parasite, Fungal Growth and Siphon Life
- Hydralisks have a range upgrade instead of a movement upgrade
- Sentry has an ability called "Guardian Shield" - Reduces all damage allies take within the bubble radius
- Immortals do terrible, terrible damage to armored

- Also, both high templars and dark templars can morph into arcons (even a high templar can morph with a dark templar! sexy)...
which means that if you are trying to tech straight to arcons, they can cost different prices depending on what you build to morph into them


How do you guys feel about the lurker being removed or any of the other changes? I for one hope they will add the lurker in one of the expansions if it was,
in fact, removed. I feel it was one of the most interesting and fun to use zerg units...

Any thoughts?

This is a greta idea. A thread to post all changes that people detect. I was expecting some new threads to post videos, changes, screens, stuff about the BETA, but i see SCLegacy is too occupied doing something else... today over 200 people came here...

Instead they sticky that nonsense about Beta Alert the Chaos SMurf did... Well done...

- Nydus worm can be built anywhere with no limit
- Corruptors have an ability called "Corruption" - Disables a building for a duration

These aren't going to last.

Oh man this is gonna be a bumpy beta. Builds and abilities will be changing regularly with wacky crap like this. Anybody thinking this will take less than 4 months is kidding themselves.

[SinsWage]

I have to admit all the rapid changes are what almost makes me want to just ignore beta. Almost. I hope the lurker finds his way back in, couldn't care less about the infested terran, though it seems odd since they JUST updated the graphic last week.

And to reply to Blazur, the only reason I can see the beta not taking any longer than that is because they have such a huge built in rabid fan base who will literally play this game into the ground. Many other games that need beta testing are only played as a sneak peek by the so called testers. This game will be tested and hard.

[Aldrius]

Ugh. Don't really like any of those changes at all.

New Protoss stuff is cool... that's about it.

[RedPineApple]

How about removing the THOR and making the lurker more viable in a lower tier

[RamiZ]

So Lurkers and Infested are removed :/
Too bad for infested, they looked cool, but I wanna see what unit will replace Lurker! ^^

And Siphon Life sounds extremely good!

[ArcherofAiur]

Corruption sounds awesome!

SUPPLY DEPOTS COST 30 GAS??
