    can you explain more on the Infesters abilities?

    i heard that the Nullifier has an ability called Molecular Displacer(please explain more about this if its true), and got Hallucination back, is it true?

    i also heard that the High Templar got an ability called Phase Shift(please explain more about this if its true), is that true?

    did the Phoenix lost the Overload ability in favor of the Anti-Gravity ability?
     
  3. Joneagle_X: What's your opinion on the whole trilogy issue?

    Hi Jon, can you elaborate on what's going out exactly with the Nydus Worm. I read the Live feed, but maybe you could tell us more about this awesome unit going bad for the last past month

    I don't know what you want to explain. It has a Corrupted Fungus ability that basically paralyzes enemy units. It also has a mind control ability called ___ Parasite (can't remember name) that will control an enemy unit for 10 seconds. Lastly, it can spawn 5 Infested Terrans at any time.

    Truthfully I didn't get as much time with the build as I did at WWI so I didn't hit EVERY unit as much as I would have liked. However, I can confirm the Nullifier has that ability but I don't know what it does. It also does have hallucination and force field. It lost anti-gravity to the Phoenix.

    I believe this ability allows the targeted unit to be immune to attacks for a short duration. Not 100% on this one because I didn't really get to use it.

    Yes, it now has anti-gravity. Very effective against units like Siege Tanks.

    As a fansite admin I think it's possibly the best thing that could happen to my site. LOL. However, I also think it's good for everyone. I can't see a better alternative. This way you get more focus on SC2 for a longer period of time, more content, and a quicker initial release. Where's the loss?

    The lore panel didn't really tell us much truthfully. They did suggest that no dead heroes would be coming back (Fenix).

    It's no longer a unit :-\. You must build a Nydus Network (building) and then use your Overseers to plant the Nydus Worm. It plants anywhere on the map that is visible. Takes about 5 seconds to deploy.

    Wait, does that mean the units have to be loaded up on the Network?

    sorry for the double post, but i have a question in the form of a command.

    i want you to give me a unit by unit overview and ability by ability overview, and you must put in as much detail as you can for each unit and ability.

    there me thinks that this answer will answer most of the other peoples questions. i am really serious about this too.

    oh, you think i cant? *warps to where Jon is at the moment graps him, warps back, straps Jon down to my Ancient Chinese water torture devices, and starts waiting*

    *after waiting a few minutes i asked this*

    (again sorry for the double post) was the 3rd Nighthawk ability called seismic thumper, and did it do what this link said it does in the 2nd paragraph of the Hands-on Gaming section?.

    You know, abilities have been switched around so much that I'm getting really confused about some of this stuff...

    I'm going to need to check my notes and consult with the other guys about the abilities because I've dropped the ball on a few units.

    As far as I remember in this build the Nighthawk did NOT have an ability called Seismic Thumper. But that's just my memory. If Blizzard says it was there it was probably there.

    I've seen how a scouting probe went right through mining SCVs during the match commentated by Dustin. What does this mean?
    a) working workers (mining, vespene fetching) don't have clipping
    b) workers never have clipping

    Does it still need to be planted on creep, since it is a building I imagine it needs to be of it'll lose hitpoints while not on creep correct?

    Karune mentioned the seismic thumper and asked what we thought of it, but it wasn't actually in the build we got to play there at BlizzCon. Instead the Nighthawk had the plant spider mine, plant turret ability, and one more that I never had a chance to use.

    Yes it has to be planted on the creep.

    Thanks for the clarification Crouse. I knew something was up because some of these abilities were just not there.

    Some sites are reporting abilities that are not in the build we played at BlizzCon but are in future builds (Blizzard always has future builds other than what we're playing).
