Do you like the Mothership?07 Nov 2008, 22:25
by aston

Cydra, the assistant community manager started a poll on the official forums about the Mothership. But it would make no sense without new information, sooo here you are:
Cydra wrote:If Zerg has the Queen and Terran has the Thor, Protoss has the Mothership!

Currently, Mothership has three abilities - Cloaking Field, Time Bomb and Vortex.

Cloaking Field passively cloaks the player's nearby ground units and structures.

Time Bomb creates a distortion field around the Mothership that lasts 30 seconds. Air units within this field cannot move and take no damage from ranged attacks. Time Bomb costs 100 energy and cooldown takes 90 seconds.

Vortex creates a gravity vortex for 30 seconds that incapacitates units that are sucked into it. units under the effect of the vortex cannot be hit with weapons. Vortex does not give any damage to units sucked into it. Vortex costs 150 energy and cooldown takes 3 seconds.

Keep in mind that the result of the poll won't definitely change the Mothership, it will be only an advice to the devs!

You can vote and discuss in our forum too.

It also borrows a lot from a certain sci-fi show. Both the flying city in a shield and the multiple drones attack.

Still like the concept though, so I'm not complaining :)

I don't like a concept art, and as Undifty said, it looks like a resort. Still, I like the skills. Vortex rocks!!

I HATE it. (as it currently is)

I mean.. I like the whole idea of a flying protoss fortress but it seems kind of..useless to me. Especially because of 2 reasons:

1. Time Bomb can only be cast around the mothership now,so it can't be used as a "disruption web" like the sc1 corsairs had. Plus it had a wayyyy to long cooldown of wtf 90 seconds?! Get real Blizz..

2.Vortex seems like a cheap rip off the Stasis Field. I think it should damage the units inside it. I mean... if you someday get sucked into a spining vortex will you remain perfectly unharmed? Didn't think so...

Also.. no more "recall" ?
Please fix it!

Better bring back the arbiter exactly how it was or the protoss players are going to be found in corners around the world in tears sucking their thumbs.
