Patch 9 Undocumented changes

[GRUNT]

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.

I gotta say that I didn't notice any difference .

It's worth noting, however, that the 2d portraits are often different-looking than the 3D one, such as the Roach :].

I want to see this changes.... anybody with SC2 care to make a small video about this??????

Good eye Wankey. Now that you've mentioned it, here's a few others I'm noticing. Apologize if these have been mentioned in this thread which I haven't read completely yet.

- Observer has a new portrait with stars in the bg.
- Archon has new attack animations. He'll now emit beams from both hands at the time time, or attack from the side.
- Sounds like the Immortal got a new sound effect when the hardened shield activates.

Immortal's hardened shield had the sound effect, it was just quiet. They've upped the volume.

They've also slightly upped voice volumes I think, which is a huge change in the right direction.

I still have absolutely no memory of the sounds SC2 zerg units make though :/

I've noticed more audible voice, but the sound cue's seem to be buggy or easily interrupted. If you click over and over on a unit they don't seem to speak as much.

They did a really nice job syncing the marine's mouth with the phrase he speaks. Don't remember if it was always like this. The level of detail and polish they've brought this game to is astounding.
