SearchPatch 16 immunes Ultralisks from stuns and Mind Control
Posted by Lasse "Enron" Engen 1 year ago
The 16th patch brings back the Infested Terran to the Infestor and a boost to the Ultralisk, but is this enough to bring the largest Zerg unit into the game?Patch updates - Patch 16
General
- Rally points now behave as a move command, instead of an attack move command.
- Enabled the ability to manually add a StarCraft II character friend using the player's character code. Character code is a server-assigned numerical code that is displayed within the Add Friend panel.
- Battle.net Achievements & Rewards have been updated.
- All Quick Match modes are now available: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and Free For All.
- All A.I. difficulties are now available for play.
- Cooperative matchmaking versus A.I. players is now available as a play mode.
- Enabled cross-game social features between World of Warcraft and StarCraft II.
Balance Changes
ZERG
Infestor:
- Frenzy spell removed.
- Infested Terran spell added.
Overseer:
- Infested Terran spell removed.
Ultralisk:
- Now immune to stuns and mind control.
UPDATE: As of now, Battle.net has gone online, however things are a bit spotty currently.
UPDATE: EU Seems to be down, but US is up
UPDATE: Matchmaking and joining custom games are having a lot of issues.

| Good patch |
| What is "stun" in SC2? I can only think of fungal growth maybe? Are there other? So if I understand this correctly; basically infestors can no longer counter ultralisks...I haven't seen that being a much used strategy anyway. Please help me see the reason for this change:) |
| Thor cannons stunned Ultralisks and almost one shotted them as far as I remembered. |
| Nice, real good patch and good z changes. The biggest stun problem was from marrauders shells. |
| @#5 marauders never slow downed ultras... |
| thor's 50mm cannon ability stuns targets |
| The beta is still not back? Because I cannot log in. |
| its very spotty right now, you gotta try a couple times before getting in |
o yeah!!!!  cya there! |
| Beta aint back yet... Only the patch update. I can't log in to B.net. :( the suspense is killing me! |
| This news text color looks aweful on blue scheme. |
| #11 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=134681 US server is already UP though some guys are struggling with it. |
| woot !! |
| dude the pylon matrix grid looks like crap...we want the old one back... my downloader is not working i have to freaking reinstall the patch......god... |
| Yay |
| "615 , 000 users online , 0 SC2 Games" ... hehe, hope they work out the early troubles soon :) |
| WOW no nerf to P. for EU the servers are still down. |
| I'm tooooooo drunnnnk to play noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| :-( lawd why that do it to us :'( |
| its not working very well however. :( |
Doesn't work  . When I try and load a match I just get an error. |
| EU can't log in yet ;p |
| ya server error |
| Blizzard is an official cock tease. I finish dling the update. Log on to b.net flawlessly. Then see on the homepage 542,000 people on battle.net. 0 Starcraft 2 games. I frowned then tried to make a custom and frowned harder when I couldnt. I drank a red bull preparing myself for hours of fun.... |
| LOL my find game button doesnt work at all and I cant select my race either :S |
| it's REALLY weird..I am watching my roommate playing on his laptop while I stare at the main menu and can't get into a game.... |
| yeah it's back now...you can find players |
| I still cant.,,, sad |
| Europe is down. |
| fail blizz is fail... |
| Big fail Blizz! |
| tsk tsk blizzy blizzy blizzy I demand a refund on all the feelings you cheated from me. |
| I wonder what the 250mm Cannon is for now..? (I mean it's most prominent use was against Ultra's wasn't it?) |
| blizzard fail i never expected such bad ... i mean i rly was 100% its rdy when its done but now they will release a half rdy game thats so poor ps: why ultra imune to mindcontrol but colossi and thor arent ? |
| #36: After 8 years... |
i can not download game from mt battlenet acount:( say file missing  |
| blizz gets the millions of people ... and they are choking hard... cant handle it.. being able to login/poke around the new beta without even being able to play is worse than when it was F-ing down-- FAIL BLIZZ --- |
| oh c'mon, every european can't log in? |
| Not that I'm trying to defend anyone, but they didn't announce that the Beta is up and running right? So, you guys are in fact whining about some tests... Until it's not official, you should all just stay chill. Once they officially say "it's up and running" and it's still full of bugs and crashes constantly, THEN you can start whining. |
| finaly i can download the game from my bnet account |
| #41 pls check out the Source of this post |
#43 I did, but that's just a list of the changes that were made in the new patch. There's nothing about "the Beta is now officially back online!". They can create as many patches they want and still not start the beta... so what's your point?  They surely started the servers at one point to maybe run some tests, and that's what people actually caught. From what I know, there has been no official announcement from Blizzard, saying that the Beta is officially back online and people can start playing/testing again ( in case I'm wrong, I'd like to see a link where they actually say that or at least something similar ). |
| @41/44: they did. http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25626351010&sid=3000 |
| Im kinda dissapointed and worried, Everytime major patch/maintance goes live the game is unplayable, if battle.net will be so bad after release like it is now this will be an epic fail. And to response to people that will say "it beta it suppose to be buggy/unplayable sometimes, thats how it suppose to be". 2 weeks before release everything should be prepared on 100% and working perfectly, so no its not a beta anymore its final test before release and as for now they fail it badly. |
| #45 Sorry, but from "The second phase of the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty beta test is now underway." I understand that "it's not yet ready but will be soon". Otherwise, they would have said "beta test is now up and running, so all of you can start messing around" ( "underway" = "unfinished" ). EDIT: He did say "Welcome back to beta, and we'll see you on Battle.net!" at the end of the post, but that was more of a "standard greeting". In my opinion ( and from what I understood from that thread ), it's still "underway". Also "we'll see you" is totally correct because he didn't really say "when we'll see you"... we only know that, at a point ( "soon" ), "they'll see us on Battle.net again". |
| reflexive............... pls ......... |
| ahahhha #47 i have a lot of fun reading your every post :D |
| @47: "We're delighted to invite you back to the battlefield and hope that you will join us" "Welcome back to beta, and we'll see you on Battle.net!" Welcome back, but we did not start yet. Sure. EDIT: Is this coming down to language details? |
