Ich hoffe mal das ist nicht alles.
Ich bin sogar zufrieden, wenn das B.net wieder richtig funkt^^

 

[dezi]

Hab auch nie behauptet das des alles ist. Mehr wurde aber noch net aus den MPQ entschlüsselt ^^

 

[User_20756]

Seit gestern sind all meine Stats und die BUddy List wieder da

Seit gestern sind all meine Stats und die BUddy List wieder da

Jedoch steht der "geplante" Resett noch aus ^^

 

[User_20756]

Das ist richtig^^
Dennoch gehts halt wieder alle vernünftig^^

Queen Speedchange & Reaper

<Speed value="1.5"/>
<SpeedMultiplierCreep value="1.7"/>

to

<Speed value="0.938"/>
<SpeedMultiplierCreep value="2.7"/>

EDIT:

The reapers D8 charge doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Queen ist also auf'm Creep so schnell wie bisher aber langsamer abseits davon (kleiner Nerf). Wenn das mit den Reapern stimmt, na dann Hoppla Oo

Kosten vom Dark Shrine wurden wohl auch verändert (von 100 Mins 250 Gas auf je 150).

<CostResource index="Minerals" value="150"/>
<CostResource index="Vespene" value="150"/>
<TechTreeUnlockedUnitArray value="DarkTemplar"/>

 

[User_20756]

Auf ingame wird von einer Liste an Maps gesprochen, die es geben sollte.
Dort wird von 3vs3 und 4vs4 maps geredet.
Natürlich unbestätigt

 

[dezi]

The editor is similar to the War 3 editor for now. It has support for converting SC1 and War3 maps, though it seems to have issues with cliffs. Speaking of which, here is the complete list of maps post patch 9. I can tell you I've never been happier to see the number 8.

Ullis werden fetter (in Sachen Pathing)

<InnerRadius value="0.5"/>

<InnerRadius value="0.75"/>

 

[LyCkEty]

LoL ich mein ja nur marouder werden doch eh schon massig gespammt und sind zu stark jetzt werden se noch stärker da das upgrade billiger wird -.-

 

[dezi]

Musst es so sehen, dass war vorher umsonst. Ich finde aber auch das Marauder, Roaches und Immortals alle ne Nerfklatsche in Sachen HP brauchen

 

[ScHmiDi]

Roaches noch mehr nerfen^^ jooo.
Ansonsten... hmm Maps... wo bleibt The Hunters ?

Achievements

Looking at achievements right now, nothing too special yet, just trying it out it seems.
The AchievementTermData.xml has the requirements for the achievements.

Fast Expand - Like build a lair, factory or Twilight council within 180 seconds.
Map Control - Destroying a CC/Hatch/Nexus under construction.
Infrastructure - Have 9 units building at the same time (Terran/Protoss), Zerg has 21 units at the same time for the achievement.
Micro Master - Get 20 kills with a single unit.
Basic Training - Build 10 marines or 20 zergs or 5 zealots in the first 3 minutes.
Heal a ally for 1000 damage with medivacs
Repair ally units for 1000 damage with SCV/MULE
Kill 20 SCVs with auto-turrets

I'm kinda a achievement-hunter, so I can't wait to try get some of these.

And plenty more.

Nehmt es mir nicht für übel aber ich persönlich finde die balance relativ scheiße derzeit.

Vllt liegt es daran das ich kein über pro wie Dimaga und CO bin aber auf normalen lvl enden die meisten games auf standart gespamme und gelame.

Toss spieler spammen only hetzer und berserker, terra MMM only und zerg roaches und mutas.

Is aber nen vorteil für WC3 TFT ich denke das einige früher oder später wieder back zu wc3 wechseln werden. Von der Grafik her is SC2 zwar wirklich besser aber vom gameplay nicht vergleichbar mit wc3.

 

[dezi]

Wenn Du mit MMM only gewinnst, dann musst Du echt schwache Gegner haben.

 

[ScHmiDi]

Oh man, sich über die Balance in einer Beta aufregen :/ Und dann mit WC3 vergleichen, dass auch erst nach TFT Release balanced war... na ja, ich verstehe es nicht^^

 

[dezi]

Jau, denke mal an Castercraft, oder als man mit Dual Aura Frenzy Ghuls only gezockt hat ^^

<FlagArray index="ForceCollisionCheck" value="1"/>

Kein FF mehr mitten auf Gegner in die Choke? Wäre n guter Nerf

UND

<CUnit id="ForceField">
<Race value="Prot"/>
<LifeStart value="200"/>
<LifeMax value="200"/>

HP fürs Feld? HP egal wenn nicht anwählbar.

<InfoArray index="Research6" Time="80" Upgrade="EMP">
<Resource index="Minerals" value="100"/>
<Resource index="Vespene" value="100"/>
<Button DefaultButtonFace="ResearchEMP" State="Restricted" Requirements="LearnEMP"/>
</InfoArray>

EMP muss jetzt erst erforscht werden? Würde Timing Pushs nerfen.
