it'd also be cool if we streamed it so people could watch if they're interested. could be a fun friday night jam 'w'

I could most likely take part of that if needed.

Downloading the clients right now.

and commentators, we need them too

tbh i dont think anyone's gonna watch the stream . nobody really did before why would they now. anyone interested in watching is already gonna be in the game. and we can do that easily by adding spectators to maps or hopping in on a 1v1 obs custom

[bd648]

you would think that. but i am just that weird to want to watch the stream regardless.

[rtil]

you would get bored, fast

especially if you have no idea what's going on

They are starting to put a rock at ramps in some of the hots map. (not like a giant ass rock completely blocking it).

I feel like that's kind of overkill... I know they have those in some of the noob friendly maps that don't appear on the ladder though (in WoL)

[Crabarms]

Its just like the supply depot in gsl maps.

[rtil]

yeah it's not a rock, it's a platform so that you can walk through it. they call it an "unbuildable plate" and it looks like this:

and it's not overkill, it's absolutely necessary. the 3 pylon wall block is stupid and it cannot always be beaten with drone drill , which is situational. they use them in pro games, why not on ladder where the pros and everyone else practices?

[Crabarms]

It depends on the map.
rock flavor







updated death animation - the blood is where it died, and the corpse traveled a bit.

[rtil]

wtf was that an overlord?

also as long as you can walk over the rocks i'm ok with them being rocks

Heart of the Swarm - New Hydralisk Death Animation
HotS Shenanigans! - Baneling Death Animations
this is fucking hilarious

[Crabarms]

It was an overseer, I love these.

[rtil]

ah now i see it. the little eyes. poor guy

[rtil]

even more: New Death Animations
these are hilarious but now that i see this more i think that it should be toggleable, cuz i could see this being really distracting in a battle.

also what's up with zealots turning into fireworks when they get blown up?

[bd648]

eh. i actually used to play the original starcraft. and i have kept up to date on SC2 and the changes.

[cipher]

(when I said overkill, I was referring to a full ramp block off with rocks, as they have in the newbie maps)


Also yeah, while I'm all for new death animations, some of these are a bit ridiculous, particularly in regards to how far things fly when they blow up. I do love how momentum affects them now though

I would watch the stream if the two of us 1v1 and deny it all. Gives me a better chance of winning, just to brag around.

you've been making that same joke for like 2 years man :[
