If you have ever found your dad playing starcraft you probably thought it was awesome and wanted to try it. You were probably were disappointed when you couldn't play it: so you went to the editor. At some point massing marines and hydras you found the special units section which brings me here...

What special units do you expect to see? I imagine that we would find the infested protoss unit in a later hacked editor.

Dad? How young people roam this place nowdays? :D

And no, there wont be infested protoss. Period. It's impossible, simple as that. Said that one guy from Blizzard ^^'

But yea, there will be some special units. But they're all used in campaign or Blizzard's own custom maps that they tend to provide.

For example the Stone Zealots...

I kinda except to find some fantasy-styled units, like from Warcraft 3. Just because many people will start making Warcraft maps, so Blizz will most probably provide units and other tools for them from the start, or in some point at the very least :)

Probably some units that were removed in development will make an appearance in the world editor.

According to Blizzard there will be no infested protoss, its a whole new race. (Think I read that at blizzard.com somewhere)

Not true, Blizzard hasn't said anything about infested Protoss being in SC2, only thing they have said, is that Protoss CANNOT be infested, period.

But, there's something else to the plot, which is probably what you meant but perhaps didn't know about or I understood wrong :)

I wont say here anything though, spoilers are bad.

that's why we have spoiler tags.



Also wish they'd put the firebat and the vulture in the editor. ;)

Yea that's what I meant, that Protoss can't be infested, just couldn't remember exactly what they said.

Well we saw the firebat AND the medic in the latest preview of WoL so I think it's safe to say they'll be in the editor. (Thank Jebus)

And a Goliath!

Some unit variants would be nice too. (As in different looking marines for different factions.)

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that ALL of the old units from SC1 will be in the editor, just not melee (obviously). So I expect to see them.

Also, if I don't see the huge stone Zealots with the laser beam eyes I'm burning down Blizzard HQ.

Well, you can already see some from the screen shots. And they said all the old units of sc1, used in the game or not, would be in the editor. Also any scrapped units.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
