Structure build boost

Has been stealthily taken out. I thought that was an intentional QOL improvement which was actually very helpful to get early growth up for slower starting commanders like Artanis. :confused:

Yup, tis a shame. Vorazun and Alarak in particular felt so much better with the construction boost.

Anyone who thought that was intentional was blissfully fooling themselves. Was definitely a bug. But, that being said, I do think it made for a fun, interesting, and useful gameplay option, and I’d like to see it make an official return for all Protoss commanders (good luck with debugging it for Karax lol).

Yup RIP chrono bug. I personally believe it’s better that it was fixed now so that we can get back used to the normal timings once again. Will definitely miss dark shrine at 3:20 tho.

Time to request for this Chrono ā€˜bug’ as a feature. Shame… what a shame…

I was somewhat expecting a ā€œwe weren’t planning on this, but we kinda liked the results so we’re keeping itā€.

But yes, it was clearly not a planned change.

If Karax could also use that Chrono Boost trick, then it should also work with his Chrono Field and Chrono Wave as well! 5x the build speed!!

FWIW, when I first tried out Abathur’s Ultimate Evolution talent, just 3 Brutalisks, I thought THAT was a bug as well (pun intended I suppose). Specifically, I was just steamrolling everything without any effort beyond A-move. Much too easy! Turns out, they ARE that ā€œhideouslyā€ strong. :thinking:

They removed it, because it was FUN and gave options and choices. Blizzard isn’t in the business of making you have FUN. Sooner you understand this the better.
