I just got a beta key by reserving it at umm. A game store....

I've played around with it. Protoss are way different. I miss my Arbiters.

Well we have the Mothership instead, it's like a useless Arb...


To be honest I prefer Protoss from Broodwar:

Corsairs >> Phoenix
Goons >> Stalkers
Arbiter >> Mothership
Scout >> Void Ray (air)
HT > HT 2
Archon > Arhcon 2
DT > DT 2 (this whole tech tree line feels so redundant now)

Reaver/Colossus swap is pretty even.

Scout << Void Ray (ground)
Dropship < Warp Prism

Sentries are fantastic.


Blizzard's reaction at every stage has been to nerf, nerf and nerf again (for all the races). It's making the Beta increasingly dull.  Right now I much prefer the original game.

The mothership pisses me off. It's so damn annoying. It moves so slowly.

Carriers are a lot better though.

 

The Dark Shrine is completely useless. I hate how they gave mind control to the damn zerg.

I don't like how 2 DT will make an archon and not a dark archon.

Agreed.

Arbiter > Mothership

Mind Control > Neural Paracite

Corsair > Phoenix

And Dark shrine needs to be buffed. And psionic storm. There is virtually no reason at all to not open with robo bay, you're forced to do it each game.

Not true, Citadel for blink and especially charge can really be a game winner in the midgame, i almost always build it first
