My StarCraft keeps crashing mid-game since the new patch, any tips?
My patch:
Marauder
Cost 125/50/2
or
decrease health from 125 to 100 and damage from 10(20A) to 8(16).
or
Marauder has no longer Stimpack.
EMP is available after research in Ghost Academy (200/200).
Ghost academy cost is inceased to 150/100.
Mules is deleted. Now you can drop SCV free and forever.
Scan radius is decreased -25%.
Siege Tank cost and supply is increased from 150/125/3 to 200/150/4.
I make not fun. Terran it need!
see ghosts you should send a small force (literally just 2 stalkers) to pick them off and an observer if they are cloaked
if you let the ghosts get big EMPs off in the engagement them of coarse you are going to lose! PLEASE before you start shouting 'OP this' 'OP that' try to find solutions to your problems. I hope this helped :)
but they reduce the things you need vs protoss like emp snipe and other
but they forgot alone mmm is trong enough vs toss (in late game you need strike thors and vikings)
when the marauder lose stim there is more balance but terran need more thigs back like better emp reduce emp energy cost and other
Terran:
* Ghost removed
* Marines now cost 25mins more
* Tanks cost 4 supply now.
* Mules removed
Zerg:
* Zergling moves 50% faster
* Banelings can move under ground
* Armor upgrades totally free
Toss
* Upgrades cost 50% less
* Zealot moves 25% faster
* Stalker gets double shield.
lol ofcourse :)
or why not have it like it was in the beta, roaches costs only minerals and take 1 pop :D
Hydras should be a tier 1 unit + have a higher health count... damn the hydra in broodwar was the pillar in the zerg army in broodwar...
Go with a HP increase and probably a range upgrade (or attack speed), with mobility being another issue altogether. They just don't seem to be worth the cost right now, however.
Firstly no Terran should ever use ghosts vs ultra\broodlords, Vikings in a nice group of 6\10 destroy broodlords due to extra damage vs massive, as for ultras a nice spread out and well micro'd group of marauders or Thors would so the trick.
Secondly as for the new pheonix upgrade, blizzard have placed it correctly in the fleet beacon and their reason is that well nix's are relatevely easy to get out and aren't costly however having a cheap +2 range upgrade would be ridiculous think about the distance you could snipe overlords at, pick up drones, Queen's etc. I think this update is perfect the way it is. All you kids crying have no arguement and clearly haven't thought about this properly.
This game is balanced, the three races are balanced all are op in their own way which cancels out any superiority if your crying about the fact that a 4 gating toss is op then learn how to beat it, skill is the key ingredient to success.

-Just keep trolling ^^
In my theory, some of the basic troops such marines and marauder should be nerfed instead of ghost or tanks or reapers or ghosts. I know I'm not the best player to judge changes, because I don't have best makromanagement but by numerical mikromanagement point of view understand that I've tactical understanding that is also part of star craft too.
Why dont you take away cloke and nuke to so they even become even less op
all units is balance if you dident know.....
the sniper shots was to kill a marine whit one shot if he dident have a C S
and was also a units that can kill broodlords.
now you most use viking vs broodlords and you can never go mass bio vs zerg in late game if you dont wana lose.
well this sucks
It does not seem like they put many thoughts into that nerf. Does anyone know why they just didnt made 25 (+25 vs non-massive) instead of the current 25 (+25 vs psionic) ? It really puzzles me - I refuse to believe that Blizzard never made a second thought?
on the orbital cammand or remove the ghost emp abbility and protoss wil be stronger ?
whats next
give voidray more range or flux vanes return or colusis canot longer be teget in the air by vikings BLIZZARD WAKE UP PROTOSS IS STRONGER THAT ZERG AND TERRAN
