My one big gripe about SCII thus far is the newly announced “line of sight system” in which, unlike Starcraft, no defensive bonuses are granted to units on cliffs. Instead, marines or whatever on the lower ground must have direct line of sight (uninhibited by cliffs) to fire upon units on the cliff (e.g. a seige tank), and even when firing, the seige tank on the cliff remains in the fog of war instead of being momentarily revealed. I may have read it wrong, but I cannot see this working. In the spirit of good ol’ Brood War, mechanics like this seem to have no place.

In my opinion, the game mechanics from Starcraft should be kept in SCII, but refined. It’s up to Blizzard to raise this child, let’s hope they do it right. I don’t want it skating on my sidewalk listenin’ to all that hippity-hop music. No respect for their elders!

Does the Thor still go offline when “killed”, to be rescued by any Terran SCV?

If so, if some random SCV goes to save it, owned by a player other than the maker of the Thor, repairs it and it goes online, all those boost engine “ailments”, like losing one boost systems in normal mode, would still stay. But the player who made the Thor and repairs to recommissioning, all “ailments” from boost engine damages would get fixed too, fixing that immobile Thor in boost engine mode.

Just a thought, so that Terran players would be discouraged of repairing an enemy disabled Thor(minerals and gas to be used), and getting this unit without full capacity, and just build their own while encouraging repairing a Thor who you unfortunately got mishandled and got turned off in battle, for less the price than a real building a Thor from scratch.

In my opinion, we should not be complaining or debating about the changes that they made. Yes, many did not agree on the Thor before but then I thought, there must be a reason for them to do that. We guys never played the game before, so we can only imagine how is it like, but we will not know the effects of it to the gameplay. Just imagine designing and creating something, endng up with people feeling not happy or not satisfied with it. In this case, the devs are still trying to make changes to the Terran and Protoss to satisfy everyone.

I know that Blizzard takes into account about the comments and reviews from us, so what im basically saying is, just give the devs some space to breathe. Let them consider things now and leave the final decision to them.
