Starcraft 2 (Info on first post!)

[Mic_128]

Not liking how it seems they're gonna be region locking the game. I'd like to be able to play on American servers as well, not stuck in the Oceanic servers, which concidering Starcraft's popularity means that 90% of matches will be with people who we don't share languages :/

Mic, I have an extra bedroom for you to live out of. Start packin'.

StarCraft 2 getting 3D support post-launch

Interesting...

....

good luck playing for over an hour using 3D, lol.

Also, one of the links embedded in the article reminded me that Korea has two Starcraft II planes (raynor and SC2 logo across it).

Well, most people won't be able to play it in 3D cause you need other stuff to do it. (i.e. Monitor, graphics card etc.)

Yup, Korea sure loves playing Starcraft. I think it's their national sport?

And don't worry, the beta will return/re-open at a later date because they're making new adjustments I believe.

[AvaricePanda]

Phase 2 is up. Apparently it takes forever to connect to matches, but I'm going to sleep and haven't checked myself.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

I got the patch and a ton of map downloads, but no matches worked. T_T

New batch of unit portraits:

holy crap that is so cool

 

[Jane]

i just came soooo hard

ONE MORE DAY.

Man, I won't be doing much tomorrow.

 

[F8AL]

I doubt you'll even be able to play online tomorrow as everyone will be trying to authentic their copies via Battle.Net

 

[Smooth Criminal]

GOGOGOGO MIDNIGHT RELEASE.

[Jim Morrison]

I'm working tomorrow all day. Good thing I'm not hyped for this.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I'm working, too.

Just gonna pick up the game at midnight tonight and install it. I'm working way too early tomorrow to even think of playing it to the wee hours of the morning.

[Matt07]

So hyped, getting it tomorrow :D.

 

[Mic_128]

Installing, can't wait!

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Installing, can't wait!

RAGE!

Just a couple of hours for me...

It's a disgustingly good game. Both beta phases were too short lived. Pre-ordered, can't wait to get back

 

[Mic_128]

Did a 2v2 match, got dropped while taking ages to load at the start (found out after that **** antivirus was scanning) did another 2v2, stomped em :D

<3 bliz so much right now. Squeeeee!

 

[M@v]

I was too lazy to get it tonight. I'm getting it tomorrow after a dentist appointment. Who wants some once I install it?

Im kinda hyped, but I dont have much time to play it until I go back to college.(Gotta focus on getting ready for apex + I have to get ready for college)

 

[O D I N]

Anyone nice enough to share a guest key with me? I wanna see if my POS laptop can even run the game before I shell out the cash for it.

 

[Mic_128]

If you haven't got one yet, let me know and I'll PM you one.

 

[Frown]

Spent 12:00 to 6:00 this morning playing the campaign. Man, everything is so good abut this.

 

[O D I N]

Mic, I sent you a pm. Haven't gotten one yet. Really appreciate it.

 

[shanus]

god working today is the most painful thing in the world. 1 week without beta = sadness, must resumeeeee and get back to diamond 1's!

 

[Lobos]

plan on picking this up after work.....didnt even play beta so Ive waited a long *** time

 

[mastermoo420]

I haven't played SC2 yet, but I imagine it to be a lot like what Brawl is to Melee. Controlling multiple buildings at one time? Really big unit groups? Taking out things that test your ability to macro is like taking out L-canceling. P: I mean, I ain't hating on SC2, but I believe my analogy is appropriate.

 

[Lobos]

what a bad analogy....fail

Really really really bad comparison. You equate superior interface to dumbed down experience? Brawl failed because it removed depth and broke many great mechanics, not because the controls suddenly improved. In Starcraft 2, you can actually focus on strategy because you don't have to micromanage your workers, and you can pump out units en mass. The introduction of cliff-hopper units makes the game so intense all the time. What is wrong with controlling multiple buildings and selecting huge groups of units? You'd really rather go back to 12-unit limits and single building selections???

 

[Jane]

my nipples erect just from the thought of buying sc2


too bad im going on vacation for two weeks ;_;

You're probs just sayin this cause you're broke in real life or something and can't afford SC2

username shanus on there, feel free to add

 

[Matt07]

And my computer won't read the disc, says there's no disc (when there is), might not have the computer specs for this .

 

[O D I N]

So my crappy laptop can run the game! It's laggy as hell, but still works. Ish. Now I just need money...

 

[M@v]

So far I like it. They put a TON of the work into the campaign, so I'm definitely playing through it all.

Also, from what I've learned from 1 day of SC2:

Stalkers are ridiculously ****(All my matches minus 1 I won were from rushing stalkers and microing with them)

Void Rays are ****. I won that other match with these. They are so spammable.

Protoss are just **** in general.

The thor pilot is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

If the thor said "Get to the choppa!" whenever you load it on a medevac I'd cry tears of joy.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Stalkers really are the answer to everything. Blink is literally the most useful ability in the game.

Void Rays are epic but fragile. Don't listen to the whiners who claim that Void Rays are overpowered.

 

[M@v]

They're not. Ive seen a ton of people spam them though. I took a group out with....what else....a group a stalkers.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

The official beta forums had nothing but threads complaining about Void Rays. It was endless. I would continually post the challenge: "OK, let's play. You go all Void Rays. I won't build a single one. I DARE YOU."

 

[M@v]

Well I finished my placings matches. Went 3-2, and the 2 losses were team matches <___<.

And take a good guess what I did on my 3 wins. hints: My units talked about shadows. A lot.

Anyway, I got placed in the silver league, which upon doing research is the 4th in line.
