Patch 1.3 for PTR!!!!!!! Big changes!!!!!!

Post by GrEaTeR_KnArLoC »

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1213111662

Examples of changes:

- Khaydarin Amulet removed.
- Viking Flower and Archon Toilet no longer possible.
- Infestor have +30 % damage to armored with fungal but now lasts 4 instead of 8 seconds.

- Number of games lost won't be displayed for people in leagues below master.

Remember, this is PTR so I am hoping that some of these changes are not final... (especially the high templar one... that really hurts my PvT)

lool no khaydarin amulet? i want my insta storms :-P
what was the viking flower btw?
"The bonus pool has been reduced for arranged teams."
"An alert has been added when MULEs expire.
An alert has been added when the Chrono Boost buff expires.
An alert has been added when the Spawn Larva buff expires."

interesting^^

and the new custom game system also sounds promising

"Fixed an issue with custom global hotkeys in grid profiles overlapping with unit command buttons." 8)

the best news out of all of this is grand masters league though

Aaryn, the viking flower is when you patrol your vikings a very short distance, so they are all on top of each other allowing them to all fire at once, stop the enemy from focus firing you, and hides the true number of vikings you have.

This high templar change might end up screwing archons cause now u'll want to save the templar if it has still like 40 energy left after storming cause its almost the same as warping in an extra tamplar but costs u less. This is just something i thought about but might be so that it wont have this kind of effect..

Some more changes on PTR. Nerf to Ghost and changed the infestor spell back to instant cast and hitpoints back to 90

Ghost

EMP now drains up to 100 energy instead of all available energy. The effect on Protoss shields remains unchanged.


Infestor

Health increased from 90 to 110. -- This change has been revoked.

Fungal Growth

Stun duration decreased from 8 to 4 seconds.

Damage increased by +30% vs. armored units.

Now fires a missle instead of being instant cast.
-- This change has been revoked.

Just a minor ghost nerf. At least now ghosts can't render 200 energy HTs useless.

That's a little bias isn't it? Do the rest of us not get the same privileges as players who are good enough to be in master league? For me, I like being able to see all the additional stats/information about the guy who just beat me, or the guy who is above me in my league. I find this a little unfair, we still paid the same price for the game as players in master league...

@ strokey I completely agree, even though I am in master's. Bad move by blizzard dumbing down the game so much.
