StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty - Patch 1.4.2

General

“Audio Fade” under Sound Options has been renamed to Game Volume During Alerts. Its tooltips have also been changed for clarification.

The fade-in for game sound during alerts changed from .5 seconds to 2 seconds.



Bug Fixes

Fixed a truncation on specific resolution if the current and maximum supplies are 3 digits.

Fixed an issue which prevented footprint from being edited in the Footprint Editor.

Fixed an issue that caused the game to have missing icons and images on low end graphics cards.


Balance

PROTOSS

Forge

The cost of Upgrade Shields Level 1 has been decreased to 150/150, down from 200/200.

The cost of Upgrade Shields Level 2 has been decreased to 225/225, down from 300/300.

The cost of Upgrade Shields Level 3 has been decreased to 300/300, down from 400/400.

The cost of Upgrade Ground Weapons Level 2 has been decreased to 150/150, down from 175/175.

The cost of Upgrade Ground Weapons Level 3 has been decreased to 200/200, down from 250/250.

The cost of Upgrade Ground Armor Level 2 has been decreased to 150/150, down from 175/175.

The cost of Upgrade Ground Armor Level 3 has been decreased to 200/200, down from 250/250.


TERRAN

Ghost

EMP radius has been decreased from 2 to 1.5


It is a weird patch. What is the reason behind for the cost reduction for Protoss upgrade? It's seem it come from nowhere, although the EMP nerf is justified.

Does 0.5 really makes a huge difference? Sure that Protoss has a harder time to deal with Ghost in the late game, but this patch didn't solve the infamous 1/1/1 build. The Ghost is not even needed when you can destroy Protoss with 1/1/1 in the early game.

1-1-1 had not been super popular lately in TL streams, seemed like the terrans go back to their ghost bio play.

There are various threads out there that helps with dealing the 1/1/1. The huge factor is scouting it coming. The 2nd huge factor is not overmaking stalkers and delay the push with your initial stalkers, try to pick off some units before the camp outside your base.

still it all comes down to practice. get a terran friend and force him to do that to you every game! don't forget to belanja him makan for all his hard work wink.gif GLGL!

on-topic: YESSSSSS!! IT'S DOUBLE FORGE TIME!

shield upgrades will still be underused...

yes,shield upgrades also affects buildings.n workers.n all other toss units..
thus make them more potent to make toss ball of death.with the buff on upgrade cost for those shields,even a 0/1/1 probe can win 0/1 drone if both were to attack at the same time...

so,another tip for smurfers..go all-in mass probes with full 0/3/3 upgrades.even no-upgraded lings or marines having a hard time killing them (lings 5dmg,marines 6dmg versus probes 6 armor)

i think better nerf range,since almost all terran units (apart from scv of course) have ranged attacks..
