Мы постарались сделать так, чтобы в этом предварительном тестировании основное внимание уделялось раннему и среднему этапам игры, чтобы игроки могли дольше сохранять конкурентоспособность на первых 3 базах. Мы внесли изменения, которые сделали игру без использования Врат искривления более жизнеспособной, а также повысили общее стратегическое разнообразие для всех трех рас.

Кроме того, был реализован ряд улучшений, повышающих качество жизни игроков.

Fixed an issue where Lurker eggs lacked polish during creation/destruction. Eggs now take less time to appear due to faster birth animation and play a death cry to communicate when destroyed early.
Fixed an issue where the Warp Prism would not display an unload visual model indicator.
Fixed an issue where the Warp Prism would not display a load range radius actor when the ability was being targeted.
Fixed an issue where the Warp Prism movement was highly variant/ sluggish if ordered to queue pickup orders or pick up units slightly out of immediate range.
Fixed an issue where Banelings in splash range of enemy units but killed by enemy units would not spawn an audio cue indicating splash damage had been dealt.
Fixed an issue where non-disguised Changelings would not play their full birth animation.
Fixed an issue where commanding Oracles to build Stasis Wards in areas inside their range could result in slower execution than being commanded to build outside their range.
Fixed an issue where Oracles would teleport short distances if told to build a Stasis Ward while overlapping with other air units (such as other friendly oracles).
Fixed an issue where Stasis Wards lacked a distinct audio cue for their death.
Fixed an issue where players attempting to attack a Stasis Ward could easily accidentally move command underneath it instead.
Fixed an issue where Colossus could not be created/unloaded in space an air unit already was (this mostly affects the predictability of colossus drop positioning due to collision with the warp prism).
Fixed an issue where Voidray Prismatic Alignment lacked a termination audio cue.
Fixed an issue where Immortal Barrier lacked a termination audio cue.
Fixed an issue where beam attack visuals would not terminate if targets were picked up by transports or teleported away (Sentry, Void Ray).
Fixed an issue where the Sentry's beam attack visuals were misleading due to being significantly delayed during creation and termination. They should now feel much more responsive to control.
Fixed an issue where the Cyclone basic weapon was unable to damage friendly cloaked/buried units.
Fixed an issue where the High Templar's basic weapon's visuals and sounds were not proportionate in size/volume to its impact.
Fixed an issue where Vespene Geysers did not update their model to tolerate shaders if players' shader graphics settings changed mid-match, allowing for re-enabling of the higher graphics option.
Fixed an issue where Phoenix would not face their channeled Graviton target.
Fixed an issue where killing a Viper prior to its Abduct tongue connecting with a target would not cancel the abduct.
Fixed an issue where Nexus would still play Blinding Cloud visuals (despite no longer having Photon Overcharge).
Fixed an issue where Planetaries lacked or had misleading visual and audio indicators (splash damage impact visuals, sound).
Fixed an issue where Archons lacked several visual and audio indicators (birth sound, splash damage impact visuals, movement sound, attack physics).
Fixed an issue where Disruptor Purification Nova cooldown/firing status was difficult to discern. Ability status should now be much more obvious due to increased colour states.
Fixed an issue where friendly Disruptor Purification Nova range radius actors were displayed permanently, even if the unit was on cooldown, causing unnecessary clutter as unit count increased.
Fixed an issue where Swarm Host range radius actors were displayed permanently, even if the unit was on cooldown, causing unnecessary clutter as unit count increased.
Fixed an issue where Swarm Hosts lacked an equipment (weapon) display indicator for the Locust.
Fixed an issue where Microbial Shroud's appearance happened gradually and unnoticeably due to lacking a sufficient impact model for the cloud.
Fixed an issue where Hellbat walk animation speed was faster than expected.
Fixed an issue where casting Generate Creep would only affect a subselection of Overlords or Transport Overlords rather than both variations.
Fixed an issue where Creep Tumors lacked placement and placeholder models when spreading themselves.
Fixed an issue where it could be difficult to distinguish if a research structure was active (Twilight Council, Fleet Beacon, Armory, Evolution Chamber).
Improved an issue where injecting Queens 'shuffle'. Allowed re-issuing inject during ongoing cast so orders are not offloaded to others queen. Long-range orders are invalid if another queen is nearby the target hatchery.
Improved an issue where units with their primary attack order on a changeling would lose their order if the Changeling subsequently disguised itself.
Improved an issue where gather orders were clunky for workers. Workers adjacent and move commanding to a geyser now update their command to a gather order if a refinement structure gets built.
Xel'naga towers can now be selected through the Fog of War. Xel'naga Towers now show their vision range radius when selected.
Active Creep Tumors will now take selection precedence over Inactive Tumors.
Active Creep Tumors in a control group at the time of exhausting their charge will now transfer control group membership to the spread tumor.
Critters and destructible neutral objects have been standardized to share similar targeting/selection/collision values. They will no longer collide with/block player structures or units.
Larva/Eggs will no longer collide with/block player structures or units.
Locusts that were previously uncommandable during their swoop animation are now also unselectable (if already selected they will stay selected).
Neural Parasite will now add the target unit to the current selection if the selection only contains one infestor.
Protoss structures now generate additional 'damaged' graphical models.
As larva increases, they will now spread further upwards around the sides of the hatchery. Larva will still start from the bottom of the hatchery.
Music selection for spectator players has been adjusted to feature a greater pool of suitable tracks for spectating. Duplicate entries have also been removed.
Slightly polished Oracles' Revelation and Build animation transitions.
High Templar and Ravagers are now less likely to aggro towards faraway targets.
Adjusted Warp Prism and Raven visual fly height to minimize clipping inside other models and reduced Warp Prism shadow size on low graphics to minimize shadow-casting on unloaded units.
Commands to unsiege Warp Prisms will now be issued to all Warp Prisms in the selection.
Healing Shrine visuals/sounds have received a minor polish pass.
The Warp Prism will now attempt to immediately siege when instructed rather than prioritizing deceleration.
Mapmaker support tools now include proper Worker-Only-Path indicators, No-Resource footprints, air unit height modifier doodads, and variable rock reduction units.
Mule Repair is now set to auto-cast by default (Mules with a harvest order still do not attempt to repair units).
