Enjoy! We have a traditional Q&A Batch this time around, in which we were able to add in additional questions from the community! There are still several art changes which prevent new screenshots from being shown, but once we get them out, they will be worth the wait! The development team has also been experimenting with many upgrades for all sides, which we\'ll also be updating the community on as testing progresses. ---StarCraft II Q&A Batch 38--- [B]1. If the Roach is hit by any spell like \"plague\" or \"psi storm,\" something that reduces hit points per second, will this be negated by its HP regeneration, or result in fewer hit points gained per second for the duration of the spell? (sclegacy.com)[/B] To clarify, a Roach regenerates at a set rate and Psi Storm does a set amount of damage at intervals in the area of effect. Put that Roach under a Psi Storm in the current build for the full duration and the Roach will have approximately 50% of its original health after the Psi Storm is over. With a new upgrade ability at the Hive which allows the Roach to have an even more increased regeneration rate, the Roach will emerge from a full duration of Psi Storm at approximately 80% of its original health.Discuss this article in the Forum! http://www.starcraft2forum.org/index.php?categoryid=9&p2_articleid=49 Psionicz SC2 News and Updates Thu, 15 May 2008 18:54:56 -0800  The StarCraft2Forum.org Tournament will go on as planned.

The images are of extremely low quality, but they\'re still images, and that\'s enough for us!Here\'s the first one. If you look at the circled units you will see what is being speculated as the Zerg Swarm Guardian:Also, in the bottom left corner is another unit that is as of yet unidentified. It is possible that it is the redesigned Terran Nomad, but this is speculation as identification is just speculative.Please read more to see the second image.
