One of Blizzard's best Spring announcements.

LORENADO!

You should see the WoW forums.  They're hysterical!

I really hope the buildings are actual units and not just an animation like sapphiron. If that were the case, sc2's engine is capable of something pretty unique there.

But I doubt it.

Also the attacks don't actually attack anything. I wanted to see dudes get sliced.

Is this the first time they showed the city tileset?

[Maglok]

Btw you USA people are a bit narrow minded, european WoW has a different april fools.

[Marco]

As far as I know, yes.  The city looks very detailed and nice.  I wonder if aerial units have pathing to avoid those buildings.  YES I WONDER.  IT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT.

[IskatuMesk]

I'm betting on them just shooting up the building like a missile or going through them entirely, depending on if the game handles them as geometry or as doodads.

[Xenon]

In war3 there are are objects that block air pathing (such as the Arcane Observatory) so it should be possible.

[FlyingHat]

Oh man, Terratron sure does make up for Blizzard fucking up the Thor earlier.

[AA7Dragoon]

What's great about Blizzard April Fool's is that most of the stuff they do does turn out to be used in their games.  I'm hoping the Terra-tron can be a functional unit in the map editor ^^

Yes, it didn't actually destroy anything which sucked.  Still, very cool.

[WB]

It could have been firing at buildings and shit, it is in a city after all. it was shooting weird stuff out of it's chest too.

it's also a completely joke unit made for fun. Why would it be functional beyond it's presentation? That's like bitching about the Quest Bolt not actually creating quests (which i've seen in a serious comment on another site already >_>)

[IskatuMesk]

Hey, there's WB. I was beginning to wonder if you'd missed your cue.

[Thalraxal]

Yes!  No longer does my gnomish warlock need to consort with demons and the infernal powers of the Burning Legion!  He can finally follow his true calling... DANCE!

Terra-tron is awesome.  I hope it appears in the Editor (I seem to recall the Tauren Marine being confirmed as in, if so, that bodes well for the Terra-tron).

Seeing as the Archivist apparently has only 1 HP, the true mark of a great Diablo III player will be beating the final boss with one in Hardcore Mode.

[WB]

max rank quest bolt is a daily quest, that how you farm Diablo.

[Meta]

Tauren Marine and Terratron... Terran is imbalanced, I tell you.

fix asap blizz plz patch sc2.

The skyscrappers look amazing. 

[WB]

I gotta admit, the city looks amazing.
