Underground movement needs cloak like feel

[SinsWage]

I never knew you could see anything when I was burrowed, but I always play zerg so for me it looks like a hyperactive gopher. Thanks a lot for bringing this up! Now people are going to be looking for it... GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.

Wich race are you playing since this is such a big problem?

[KadajSouba]

I think its fair. I mean units moving underground cant do shit, while dark templars, banshees, ghosts, observers... all of them work perfectly on stealth mode. On the other hand, the roach and the infestor move slowly, and cant attack, or cast, or dance while burrowed. Its fine as it is.

I can see it very clearly, it's not only a shadow but also some spikes (at least for Roaches), but I play on very low graphic settings.

If they arent moving at all, I dont think you can see anything.
This is what I see if they are moving:

Wow, thanks for the video but it was extremly anoying that you switched the camera all the time....

Infestors leave slime trails giving you a cloak like feel.

Well you're not going to see them in the fog of war...


Regarding your post Wankey, if you see the roaches burrow and know where they are, it's actually pretty easy to spot their movements. I wouldn't say it's a shadow, more like some dirt/sand movement.

Uhh, i had an entire army of Roaches moving inside my base, and never seen a damn thing. Does it have some effect, or only the Zerg player sees it?
Just watched the video. Don't know if it looks better in-game, but it's quite dim.

The Zerg player sees the crest of their unit and a huge noticeable burrowing trail. You're definitely not going to mistake the ally/player view with the opponent view. The opponent will see a slight ground blur/dust, though I'm not sure how it will look at different graphics settings. However, their definitely is supposed to be a trail. If you want to make sure, replay that match, watch it through his vision and when he's in your base, switch it to your view to see the difference.

Also, someone ought to test whether the different graphics setting levels will affect the enemy vision of the burrowing motion.
