Giving the Obelisk Wormhole Transit

[DemolitionSquid]

Ok, but I originally reacted to him wondering to himself why people don't agree with him, when he's clearly so "smart", and predicts everything so "accurately". Is that not posting about the people in the thread? Is that related to the discussion at hand? He violated what you are warning me about before I did, in this very thread. Why am I held to different behavioral standars than him? Is it his post count?

Its because my post was sarcasm you obviously missed, but everyone else got because they know me.

As a note: at least 50% of what I post is sarcasm.

Bad post, mods delete this please.

Case in point - "him wondering to himself" is essentially a rhetorical question. You're not being held to a different standard. It's a general announcement. If you want to discuss this further, you can message me about it, but as no formal warnings have been handed out, I don't think it'll be needed.

EVERYONE Please just move back on to the topic at hand.

It's not different behavioral standards. It's a matter of many of your posts adhering to a trend of either insulting others, or baiting people. And it would be nice if it stopped.

Is that right? I think that's highly unfair. The best discussion happening on this board today is about Zerg's spore cloud. A thread started by me. Did you notice, or do you just look for the negative? The spore thread is not the only instance of my communitive posting.

I notice your positive contributions as well. Hence the reason I said "Many of your posts" rather than, Most or All of them.

Mules are effective but are on a longer 'cooldown' period since Orbital Command is limited by the fact you only have ONE per Command Center, and its energy is shared with a few other abilities. This is a forgiving system for players who use Mules seldomly compared to pros who use it a lot, since even pros are limited by the amount of energy the Orbital Command has at a time. The most they could spam this is, lets say, 4 times every 2-3 minutes.

Proton Charge can potentially be kept up 100% of the time given you have obelisks available. Even if it is a slower rate of mineral gathering than Mules, the fact that it can be kept up 100% makes it a deep APM sink that gives pros the major boost, and increases the resourcing gap between a pro Protoss player and a less skillful/mindful one.

You may be right, you may be wrong, No one really knows what's going on with Proton Charge right now but Blizzard. We, as testers, won't know what to think about it until after hundreds (YES, hundreds) of individual games with the mechanic. Dustin Bowder himself said in one of his recent interviews that they are making changes to the mechanic, and the obelisk itself.

Agreed. Back on topic, the Monolith's an interesting idea Archer, but I'm going to have to say that even this is just papering over the cracks. The best thing that could be done with PC is to drop it straight off a cliff.

O0o0o0okay, back on topic.

Again: This idea is flawed. It solves nothing. The Obelisk needs to be nerfed, not buffed with more abilities.

[SaharaDrac]

Not only did I get back on topic before the people hating on me, but I contributed more in said post. Just pointing that out.

I think we might be seeing quite a few changes with the Obelisk during bata, if not before. Dustin really didn’t seem too happy with it when compared with the other two mechanics. I just wonder what those changes will be...
