• Fixed an issue where a Thor would continue to channel 250mm Strike Cannons on an uplifted terran building if it lifted off at just the right time.

Evo ga opis patcha koji smo dugo čekali. Glavna stvar je što je nerfovan fungal, i što je promenjen prioritet za SCV.

Toss je malo buffovan, pa da vidimo da li će to značajnije da utiče na gameplay, i na pozicioniranje protos igrača na turnirima.

Izgleda da jednim delom nisam bio u pravu u temi za balans, doduše to ćemo tek da vidimo.

[Snou^]

yay za SCV repair fix!!

svidja mi se akcija za finixe i obs.

void rays u PvP, anti colossus?

[3MAJ86]

Pa dobro, ja priznam kada pogrešim, ali kao što rekoh, tek ćemo to da vidimo :)

Samo, ovaj deo mi nije jasan:

• Autocast repair will now charge the player requesting autocast functionality.

[Sarma]

:)

gospodine pejo... mohi i ostala gospodo... cestitam... nas "mastermind" je ustvari samo bio zdrav razum... nisam posumnjao u ovakav ishod niti jednog trenutka... svi toss playeri mogu da izvrse uplatu na ziro racun 1425 - 54057 - 888... poziv na broj: repaircraft na kurcu te nosam :P

Pa dobro, ja priznam kada pogrešim, ali kao što rekoh, tek ćemo to da vidimo :)

Samo, ovaj deo mi nije jasan:

nije sporno... moj neprijatelj nisi bio ti, nego glupi scv :) verovatno ces imati opciju da sa desnim klikom aktiviras autorepair...

[ser_freeman]

Jel se zna kad izlazi patch

[shmi]

Pre Nove godine, ali ne zna se tačno kad.

[3MAJ86]

Trenutno je na testiranju (Public Test Region). Moguće je da igrači mogu da probaju, samo moram da proverim to (nemo' me držite za reč).

Edited December 5, 2010 by 3MAJ86

[ser_freeman]

Ma da video sam da mogu igraci da probaju al samo ako imas za north america key. Ja se najvise radujem hotkey opciji jer sam rucno editovao MPQ bazu za hotkeys. Svaki dan cekam da me banuju hehe

[3MAJ86]

We would like to thank everyone for their participation thus far in the first StarCraft 2 public test. We’re in the process of temporarily taking down the PTR in order to apply changes based on your feedback and testing.

Some of the changes we’re working on implementing:

•Bunker build time reduction removed as previously noted

•Fungal Growth’s terrestrial limitation has been removed and the ability once again affects air units

•It will once again be possible to hold down a key to repeat a hotkey command

This down time is expected to start tomorrow at noon, 12:01 p.m. PST and last for approximately 2-3 days. Keep an eye on this forum for updates on when you can rejoin the Public Test Region and begin testing the newest changes.

Thanks for your help!

Ipak nisu nerfovali fungal. hmmm....

[Litt]

pa i glupo je da ga uklone jer su mute sporije od finiksa verovatno i od vikinga

[3MAJ86]

Mute su i te kako brže od vikinga :) a mislim da su jednake brzine kao fenix, jedino što ovi mogu da pucaju dok se kreću, a mute ne.

Edited December 7, 2010 by 3MAJ86

[Litt]

pa da zato i postoji fungal, nisam bio siguran za vikinge ali mute finiksima ne mogu nista u direktnom fajtu

[peja_]

phoenix 4.25

viking 2.75

mutalisk 3.75

noobs

[Litt]

tvoja statistika potvrdjuje da finiksi>mute. Ode li na GSL ili i dalje igras beton ligu nube?

[peja_]

nisam ovo napisao da bih rekao da nesto>nesto, nego raspravljate o tome sta je brze kao da nije 2 klika away

[3MAJ86]

Ne bi ti bio Super Moderator kada ne bi vređao ovde :S

[peja_]

hahahaha koji si ti car brate :D

zbog onog 'noobs'?

to je bio trol, uspesan

(sto ne znaci da niste!)

[3MAJ86]

U pravu si, ali koja je svrha trolovanja, i to od strane moderatora? WTF?

Ako član troluje, lako je obrisati post ili banovati u ekstremnom slučaju, a kada to čini mod malo je... :S

A šta ću, valjda se iz dosadašnjeg iskustva na forumu vidi da me nije teško navesti da zagrizem udicu. Čak i ja imam svoje mane hm :)

[Litt]

ne raspravljamo sta je brze nego kazem da je zergu potreban fungal jer mute ne mogu da stignu finikse

a brate, toliko je ocigledan trol bio, ali sam zaboravio da je to zerox lozana :D

[mohican]

Tome sluze hidre, kanterovanje celog jednog bilda, koji je i sam kaunter za muta harras, jednom jedinicom je retardirano. Dozvoljava zergu da slepo ode na mute bez ikakvog skauta sto je kao sto rekoh retardirano.

[3MAJ86]

Inače, da li ste mogli sinoć da igrate SC2? Ja nisam mogao online, a posle sam izguglao i nisam bio jedini sa problemom. Mnogi ljudi su kukali po forumima, a battle.net je bio down, i baš je pisalo da su spustili i SC2 i WoW servere radi 'maintenance works' :)

Možda turaju novi patch :)

[The MisT]

Ako nisi primetio kataklizma je izasla danas...

[mohican]

Pa? Wow se ne igra na battlenetu.
