Patch 9 Undocumented changes

[GRUNT]

Looks like the corrupter got a new portrait as well.

Oh yeah forgot about that . It's just a new background, though.

I believe the Brood Lord's is slightly changed, as well.

[Centipede]

Anyone else hoping they'll continue to touch-up details like this as the beta goes on? New Carrier and High Templar models, please?

The reason I mention this is that this patch was toted as a big content update; so I'm really hoping that they'll continue to tweak and polish more than just the game's balance from this point forward.

Do I expect updated models and sounds in every patch? No.

[Wankey]

Well I highly doubt the carrier and High Templar will be remodelled. They're really just gonna touch up remaining effects, animations, and polish a few textures here and there. The soundscape is really what they're looking after now I think. Remodelling a new unit would be pretty crazy Blizzard work right now. I do hope they reintroduce the Carrier in Singleplayer as the Tempest and then create a whole new model for the carrier.

I'd like to see more sound updates, yeah. That's what they should be focusing on imo :P.

They also Tweaked the viking portrait.

Are you sure about the Terran music?

I think a couple parts of the songs are refined a bit more -- with a more clear guitar sound. Least that's what I'm finding in-game.

1. There are critters now, at least on Twilight Fortress (not sure about other maps).
2. New art for many upgrades.
3. The archon no longer attacks with only the same, single-handed animation. There now three: the original animation, another single-handed attack in which the archon leans back, and a double-handed attack.
4. The roach's appearance now reflects its regeneration upgrade (or was it always like this?).

Can whe have some images or videos showing the changes?

I noticed no change in Viking. Are you sure?

Yeah 99.9% sure. It used to be my portrait before patch 9 so I saw it a lot. They changed the lightning effects on the armor and on the helmet. This might only show on ultra settings though but I'm pretty sure they refined it.
