Re: High Templar

[zeratul11]

wow! the high templar! at least they don't look lazy anymore like in starcraft original.

i think he's goin to cast the same spell with that of prince kael in warcraft frozen throne. he looks like him, the hood and stuffs. now wheres the dark templar?

[ImaGiNe.]

I seriously do not like the fact that some StarCraft 2 units look strikingly similar to WC3 units. Damn it! The High Templar no longer looks menacing.

[generalrievous]

meh i like the new look all and all I hope they still leave illusions behind them whenever they move like in sc always liked that effect 8)

[[LightMare]]

his spell looks much like an ice sorc, but it's awesome!

[LimaBeanMage]

I'm not too sure about that ice fist uppercut at the end. But he still better have trailing images of himself as he walks -_-

[Itsmyship]

I personaly like the new look of the high templar...makes them look to be in a high position of power, unlike the SC1 look where it just kinda chilled in the same position the whole time.

[Ghost]

Man I love the new design, so much better that the first StarCraft. Now they actually look more powerfull, btw I noticed that armor on his shoulders is the same armor the avy for the mothership has, so that means that a high templar pilots the MS.

Yeah, the Conclave drives the MS

[Ghost]

Lol, the way you used "drive", like the mothership was just another car =D

[Itsmyship]

Well..yeah! Tis a big car that floats, but a car nonetheless... :P

[FlyingTiger]

I kinda wished the high templar wasnt like "floating," but all in all it is pretty decent.

[Ghost]

Why not?

If I had psi powers and could float around i would! =D

[FlyingTiger]

The kinda look like fairies floating around.

[Ghost]

Until they UNLEASH THE MASSIVE PSI STORM OF DOOM! upon your expensive group of BC's

(*Note: It only takes 3 high templars to kill anynumber of unattended stacked BC's)

[Itsmyship]

Hehe...I just got an awesome image of a high templar letting off a psi storm while floating and laughing hysterically while yelling "I...AM...GOD!!!"

[Ghost]

Or I AM A FAIRY.. BOOYA!

[LimaBeanMage]

Come to think of it, why can't high templars fly? They are scared of sourges me thinks.

[Ghost]

Id agree with you but they hover like that to avoid spidermines and they dont fly cuz it would just look silly.

[paragon]

they seem to be reusing animations from warcraft 3

[Ghost]

Yeah it seems so, what unit would this be like?

[paragon]

blood mage
and the zealot is like the demon hunter

[burkid]

The kinda look like fairies floating around.

yeah a farie that can kick your ass, then make you see 20 yous, then tear you up with psionic electricity.



blood mage
and the zealot is like the demon hunter

come to think of it, zealots hold their arms similarly to demon hunters when they run

[paragon]

yes and by similar you mean exactly the same.

[burkid]

well... yeah.

[Ghost]

Lol, well marines have a similar stance to footmen now with the shields.

[Trooper_Lozer]

I wanted to ask, does anyone think that the hightemplay will have a atack like the hero in SC1, I think that would be pretty cool, although somewhat rigged since he is a caster. Maybe the defiler and high templar will get something new? Oh well, and also what about the barricade ability or something like that, not sure about the name but i heard that high templar can make some type of invisible wall that no one can pass. Does anyone know anything on that?

-Trooper

[paragon]

The barricade makes a stasis-trap sort of things over one specific area and while units inside can still fire, their attacks do no damage since they just hit the barrier.

[silky2007]

the design from the artwork trailer at min 1:24 ... it;s more cooler ... !!!

[DontHate]

Awesome, i've been trying to find a decent picture of him on the videos, didn't know there was this. Anyways, his shoulder pads look very neat, and his casting looks awesome. I love the little uppercut with the fist... it's so... sweet.

[Ghost]

I wonder if high templars will get an attack this time round, like Tassadar had.

[-LT-]

It's great.

[darkone]

Ghost, they did when the game was first released but if check what they did for each version of the game over time you will see that they did

the best way to do this is when battle.net upgrades your files there an option to see what they changed

Mutalisks' also had a spray attack like the one you'll see in the original end movie

[AdmiralAckbar]

High Templar doesnt have an attack and mutalisks didnt "spray" in the unpatched version of starcraft.
High Templar should come with psistorm already upgraded

[kenshin72]

I agree its similar to warcraft 3. However its still unique if u keep looking at it carefully and see it as starcraft

[AcE_01]

can someone show me a gameplay of the high templar in action? i've never seen it =(

but yeah.it looks pretty cool and since its in sc2 it looks sorta like mysterical-alien-longhair-old priest..

lol...

[Sikhye23]

the high templar doesn't look chill enough anymore, in sc1 he was the man with the whole ghost trailing behind him thing, nonchalant and lazy. if anyone ever bought battlechest for sc and bw, and looked at the big books/ unit/ instruction manual things, look at the high templar again (the black and white picture next to the unit description where hes holding like an orb of energy with both hands above his head) i wish the new high temp looked more like that, right now hes too boxy and energetic. He needs to be more laid back. I don't care how desperate of a situation the protoss are suppose to be in right now, the high temp needs to look relaxed and chill.

[Protosscommander]

I hope that the High Templar now in Starcraft2 two, is gonna be great, not like in the Starcraft 1 its look so very lazy and very slow specially when it comes to battle, and another one thing is, in Starcraft and Starcraft Broodwar, i dont really like the color blue shadow at the back of the High Templar specially when he is walking, the blue one, i hate that its look so weird, any way i hope they will add more, ability to High Templar now in Starcraft 2.

PEACE :thumbup:

[Lenga]

it looks like the HT/fairy/bloodmage is finally gonna walk/float/fly faster than before/earlier/in the past

[Protosscommander]

Yap but its Awesome now compared to the old one ;).

PEACE :thumbup:

[AcE_01]

i agree man..its like..totally the pwage.

[Protosscommander]

But i think in Starcraft 2 Tassadar will never be back, because, there is another character, that will be changed the Place of Tassadar, that can control the Dark and light power also, and its Praetor Artanis. Right? ???

:thumbup: PEACE

[Lenga]

did you steal that idea from me? ^_^

[Protosscommander]

Yap, i steal hehehe not really, stealing but, i just want to share it to others hehehe ^_^

PEACE :thumbup:

[burkid]

protosscommander, there is no reason to make every one of your posts colored. it is quite obnoxious. colors are for highlighting something you want to put emphasis on.

[FlyingTiger]

He's fine. I think he's going along with the protoss theme. At least it's not the neon fonts + animation. ^_^ I would think bold would be the way to put emphasis on things.

[burkid]

bold italics underline and colors can all be used this way. all of them if you reall want to get the point across.

i understand the protoss theme, but that doesnt stop it from being obnoxious.

[Sikhye23]

yea it is obnoxious.
anyways i wish blizzard would leave the seriousness and distinct style of starcraft alone, and leave the cartoonish, fantasy wizard-harry potter nonsense for warcraft, i mean look at that high templar.

[Smokiehunter]

yea the first starcraft looked more sharp, then they played the spell toon world and every thing got rounded :P

[i2new@aol.com]

dose the high templar move faster in Sc2? or no ???

[vinzel]

looks HORRIBLE !!! like a unit from WC this is not Warcraft DAMN!! thats why Starcraft is so unique and awesome

[venado]

In SC1 the high templar were calm when casting spell... now they're more violent.

[Sikhye23]

exactly they were protoss: relaxed, authoritative and in control, not frantic blood mages or elves or something that somehow found their way into starcraft

[Protosscommander]

protosscommander, there is no reason to make every one of your posts colored. it is quite obnoxious. colors are for highlighting something you want to put emphasis on.


Okey your wish is my command just be calm, and relax.

PEACE :thumbup:

[DE.50]

I like the new model, but i agree that the animation shouldnt be so frantic.

[BnechbReaker]

it looks like a human too me, maybe it's because the picture is too small

[hillzagold]

are you guys talking about the avatar? looks custom made to me.


so uh... what do you think about this blockade spell? seems like it would be hell on melee units, and that it would be disabled for defense maps.

[Lenga]

i love the new movy HT, remember the zealots were agile warriors, they wouldnt just lose the ability to be agile by training, eh?

[Justicator]

The high Templar is very ugly and to WC3 moderate.
It would better be if the high Templar as in SC1 looks and so also dies and cast.
