When I play Protoss now that I am a better player I use one probe to build a lot of buildings using the SHIFT key. What drives me crazy is that the probe will build about 4 buildings and get itself trapped in the small space between the buildings. This is especially annoying when building a lot of canon towers. The probe will build several of them and then get stuck in the space between them and cancel all the other canon towers being built. This may be a second base and I am focused other things, and don’t hear the probe cancellation noise, only to come back and find that 10 building are not built and the war is on! This a huge bug and should NOT happen. Please release a patch for this bug so the probe always EXITS to open space. Thank you.
Still need a fix for this. Becoming more annoying as I play more. Thanks.
Still need a fix for this. This is driving me and others crazy. Blizzard Please fix, nearly 6 months since it was reported and still not fixed.
BUMP! @Blizzard this needs to be fixed soon. As our team plays more and more and we are very good a using a single probe to build stuff if the probe gets trapped while we are in a fight this causes a lost Game!!! You should not have the probe get trapped it should always EXIT to a clear space. Please fix ASAP!!!
This is less of a bug that needs to be fixed and more of a criticism of mechanics with a suggestion on how it should be different, as what is happening (how probes build compared to the other races) is intended.
Probe micro has been part of Protoss mechanics since the start. The micro can be seen in use at all levels when shift queuing multiple structures in close proximity: build, M-move out of the way, build, M-move out of the way, etc. It’s simply a unique characteristic of the Protoss. The only alternative is to leave an escape path.
Because the development teams don’t collect feedback/suggestions from the support-based forums, you’d have better luck posting in one of the discussion forums. Either Protoss Discussion or General Discussion.
