reaver droped

[deno70]

people who went to the blizzcon have reported that the reaver has been droped from starcraft2 !!!

Nah it can`t be? If you see some of the wallpapers that show`s you the colossus you can see the reavers too

 

[deno70]

they have been droped, dont forget if you saw any of the vids with the soul hunter and that was droped.

they said that units wernt final and that they went trough a boot camp, im guessing thet they failed in the boot camp

 

[Kenth]

hmmm, anything isnt sure before the announce it on their webpage

 

[deno70]

well people from blizzcon asked about it whilst playing protoss and found it wasnt their, they asked a blizz team member to find that they had been droped

This decision is not permanent. Nothing is final.

We had a lot of units for the Protoss and we had to make some decisions for Blizzcon about what to keep and what to drop. The Reaver was by far the hardest call.

We are VERY aware of how some players feel about the Reaver. Frankly, we feel pretty passionately about it ourselves. The challenge of making a sequel to StarCraft is enormous. You will see us make (and unmake) a lot of decisions like this as we continue the development process together.

Thanks to everybody who posted their feelings on this issue. I don't know what is going to happen in the future, but your feelings on the Reaver have been heard.

why can`t you just edit youre post? double posting makes this forum look bad..


Well, you cant rely on what they say then

how could they do that? the reaver was one of the main weapons in the protoss arsenal. why didnt they kick something like, i dunno, anything else? even zealots would do

 

[Kenth]

well the cut reavers because of the colossus, protoss didnt need the reaver because the colossus did the same amount of damage, and could kill more then one unit by one attack.
like the reaver could.
But i think it sucks too, i love the reaver.

up to now from the vids i still cant see how anyone would build the collosus. the reaver definitely killed things faster. the only reason ppl are saying the collosus is good is cause the only times they were officially shown off were against zerglings and marines, and those dont exactly have oodles of life and armour do they? see how they fare against zealots or siege tanks.
