StarCraft II 0.4.0.14133 Patch Notes

[Hav0x]

She's not any slower. She just doesn't accelerate as quickly. That just means it takes her a little longer to get her to her maximum speed. This is actually a good change in my opinion.

Acceleration is a part of overall speed. If she is running away from something it will take her forever to speed up to her max speed. And now she has deceleration which will make her slow down as she gets to where you sent her. This along with the nerf to shields and health make it extremely vulnerable.

How? The Banshee is pretty late-tech. Ghost cloaking comes way sooner.

I just have a feeling its going to be abused.

[Blazur]

Heh, I think we're starting to see what it must have been like for the dev team for the past 2 years or so. New drastic changes every week, gravely affecting the outcome of games. Suddenly the beta is losing some of its appeal

But the amount of time it takes her to get from point A to point B isn't any longer, or at least won't be dramatically longer. The biggest difference here is you won't be able to micro her in a fight. Which isn't really the point of the unit. I think she's just being used in a way that Blizzard didn't intend. In fact that's what they repeatedly advertised the Mothership as NOT being. The whole idea of the Mothership being a one-woman army that can harass a mineral line. Mothership rushes too.

The build-time increase looks drastic but really they're changing it from 60 to 90. Not 120 to 180. Who doesn't use Chrono-boost to get their Mothership?

I still think they should give Wormhole transit a cast-time and bring back it's original spell-set, though.

I just have a feeling its going to be abused.

Well of course it will be. But that's no different from any other unit that cloaks.

whoa whoa whoa whoa

when beta was released

gateways built in 50 and barracks were 65?


Does not compute. But that doesn't matter, it's all good now

[Crazy_Jonny]

Hmmm, strange to me that they would decrease the duration of Chrono boost and not the percentage. Still I expect numbers with the macro mechanics to be played around with.

Same with the Mothership, thats gonna go through at least 40 more changes. I trust Blizzard on things like balance. Spells are another story.

[TWD]

My poor Mothership... is now an Arbiter.

Except that Motherships shoot 6 projectiles at a time and have twice as much health as Arbiters.

And cloaks buildings. I always thought that was powerful.

They seriously think that someone is going to pay for this huge piece of floating junk, just to have to wait forever for it to reach the rest of your army?

*Bangs head into desk*

They're not any slower!

The only time they'll be 'slow' is if you try to micro them like a mutalisk.

Seriously, what on earth are you talking about? O_o Who are they?
