I miss my vulture ;_;
Not really lol
Hellions can't be microed the way vultures could, and they do shitty damage to everything except workers and zerglings pretty much, and even then you need like 3 or 4 of them at least to be able to kill things at a reasonable pace
Plus no spider mines

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Beta Test Draws to a Close
by Lylirra
// Jul 16, 2010 11:58:42 PM UTC
147
We would like to thank everyone who has participated in the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty beta test. You've done an admirable job of testing, and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback you provided during this critical phase of development. It's been a lot of fun; however, all good things must come to an end.
In preparation for the launch of the game on Tuesday, July 27, the beta servers will be brought offline by Monday, July 19. At that time, all beta accounts and character information will be reset and the ability to create forum posts and comments on the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty website will be unavailable until launch. In the meantime, we still encourage everyone to stay tuned to the website for exciting news and updates regarding the upcoming release.
Thank you again for your participation, and we'll see you soon on Battle.net!
The game is out and nobody here is talking about it? I am disappoint. Btw. somebody should change the topic to Starcraft 2.

I bought the game o.o
I forgot my 3 digit identifier thing though
7-1 in plat right now, should be 8-0 but I was retarded and ran my dudes down a ramp into tanks instead of dropping onto them. Oh well.
Haven't played the campaign, probably not going to.

And judging from SC2? What are you smoking?
They completely destroyed SC2, and the only good thing it has comes from the community, not from Blizzard.
There was this article about Valve saying that you should see games as services, and tbh, this service is not worth any more than 40$.
People paying for the Collector's Edition make me rage the most though
How was it completely destroyed?
And people pay for games because it interests them, so I dont think it really matters if the price is that high for it, unless it was utter crap.

Activision is satan and, by extension, Blizzard. I'm not opposed to getting things I want from satan, though.

Why did so many people buy mw2? Same reasons. People are retarded.
They get fucked in the ass and they love it.
Ignore Ph0X, he just hates anything popular.
I'm not particularly fond of the $60 price tag, though.

This is the same problem as with mw2, even though they removed shitload of important stuff (dedicated servers, modding, etc), people still sucked activisions dick and loved the game, not realizing that they're paying more for less.
Of course, you can say that the game is still worth 60$, but imo, it isn't.
The game + the community content might be worth that much, but I refuse to feed money to activision for something the community is building. If you believe in something, you have to stick to it and not pussy out right when the game comes out.

You can't really blame them for removing LAN, or 50% (random number) of the copies wouldn't have been sold. Sure this pisses alot of people off, but as you said there are tons of fanboys that will buy the game anyway.

Anti-Piracy measures should NEVER EVER come in the way of the PAYING customer.
That's my opinion, and I know quite a lot of developers who have the same reasoning,
and every single one of them has the respect of his customers, and doesn't have any piracy issues.

My brother made me start playing with the trial thing he had. I hate it right now cause I never win, and I've only been playing against A.I.'s! Right now I'm using Protoss, though. It always seems like I'm going at too slow a pace because they always come rape my base early in the game.CDFA wrote:

Sounds like most of the stuff you're complaining about is stuff 90% of the community has been complaining about for over a year now , while the rest is up for debate/minor things that people have come to terms with by now. Coincidentally the stuff that everyone's been complaining about (chat rooms, cross-realm play, custom map system) are all things Blizzard has said they'll address via patches after release.Ph0X wrote:
No more lan Yeah it sucks but anti-piracy + the new battle.net system explains this, the two problems with no lan are that households have to buy 2 or 3 copies to play with each other and there's no lan for tournaments (though I heard rumors of a "tournament pack" for tournament organizers that would have lan, not sure if those are true or not but since Blizzard teamed up with GOM now in Korea, maybe it will happen since they seem interested in promoting esports). I thought I was going to miss lan because I'm a big DotA player on WC3 and I wanted a listchecker-type of program for SC2, but the way b.net is set up you don't really need a third party program like that (not saying I like their system but it makes listchecker largely useless). Honestly, the only situations people are going to play lan is because of: a. piracy + hamachi, b. tournament (which I mentioned), c. cyber cafe d. rare occasion that two brothers in the same house want to play or something like that, or the even rarer occasion that the whole damn family wants to play. Don't people just bring their computers to LAN parties anyways? So that's not even a valid point since everyone would have their own copies of SC2 anyways. I'd like it if that "Spawn" feature from SC1 came back so you could install it on a friend's computer and have them play with you but oh well.Xanek wrote:

no more cross-regional play Going to be addressed in the future
60$ again for dlc What? The expansions? Nobody complained about Brood War when that came out, and that offered less content than these expansions are going to have, plus they're not even confirmed to be $60.
can't play with people who have dlc You couldn't do that in SC1+BW or WC3+TFT, I don't see the validity here.
can't pick server I honestly don't have a huge problem with lag playing on the b.net servers, other than the first few days of the game being released. It's not listchecker-esque or iccup launcher type of zero lag, but it's really not that bad, and in SC2 you don't need picture-perfect timing, apm, and accuracy to be good at the game, so if there is some sort of small delay it's negligible. Even the pros have admitted that the game takes less overall effort than Brood War.
can't host any map you want Thought I heard something about them changing the way custom maps work in the future, but I can't quite recall
no more /f chatting Sucks but hopefully they'll address it in a patch when they overhaul the chat system
no more chat rooms Future patch along with clan support
over priced Opinion, I have no problem paying $60 for a game I'll play for hundreds/thousands of hours, rather than paying $60 for a game like FF13 for the 360 that I'll play for 40-50 hours and never play again.
you pay 60$ and all you get is terran campaign I don' t care about campaign at all but I can see how people would complain about this, however everyone I know who's played the campaign has said it is fantastic, even if they are Zerg/Toss players primarily.
you can't play anything if bnet is down or if you don't have internet Not really that big of a deal
and I can keep on going
And if you're going to argue that Blizzard should have fixed all this shit before the game came out, there's no way, they thought it was a good idea and the feedback they got from beta and the community proved otherwise. You can't completely rehaul a game this massive that's been in production for god knows how many years, which is why myself (and others) are fine with the game as it is now and can look forward to it getting "fixed" in the future.

@MegaManEXE: That IS my point. People have been complaining about these stuff forever, but Blizzard didn't not listen to them at all, and to me, that's like them disrespecting their customers, and I refuse to pay such a company.
Pretty much to half my stuff, you either said that "it sucks but that'st he way it is" or "it's planned in the future". Things like Chat or /f or cross-realm take no effort to implement. And don't forget how big Blizzard is. You know how much money they make? there's over 10million WoW players paying 15$ per month. Do the calculations. Problem is, 99% of that is going into Kotick's pocket, instead of going into their next game and providing a QUALITY SERVICE to you fanboys.
Just adding something on the server picking issues. How do you address stuff like "dota -arem" or other server name information?
Of course, in the beta there was also the problem of new versions of maps having hard time making it up the popularity chart, not sure if that got fixed. But overall, it gives power to popular maps and leaves the less known people gayed on the bottom. It's pretty much hierarchy of a society, but in a game.
Last thing. Like you said, no one gives a shit about the campaign, the games still not balanced according to some people, and there's all this stuff that "will hopefully be added in the future". So for a second, just forget about all the custom maps, and just imagine the BASE game that you get, with all those missing features, and try imagining how much THAT is worth. Because THAT's what blizzard gave you, and to me, it's worth less than 40 or even 30.

Hey guys, guys! I have an idea, let's talk about the game and ignore Ph0x. Too late. I mean seriously, why do you bitch about the game so bad?
60$ again for dlc. Source? Expansions are usually cheaper.
can't play with people who have dlc. Oh wow, this is something completely new.
can't pick server. I don't see the problem here. You can choose the map you want to play and team up with buddies.
can't host any map you want. You can.
overpriced. Isn't that normal in the US? To be honest Starcraft 2 was cheap for only 37€ if you ask me.
you pay 60$ and all you get is terran campaign. And the MP part + challenges + achievements. It's just as long as the three campaigns from SC1 combined with nice variety.
you can't play anything if bnet is down or if you don't have internet. Might happen but the servers seems to be stable.
You should get your facts right first before judging about something. The only thing I agree with are the chat rooms and cross-regional play but they said that they are going to add it. And no, I'm not a Blizzard fanboy.
Anyway, I love the game so far. I'm currently 1vs1 silver, 2vs2 gold and 3vs3 silver. Still playing around with different tactics with my main race Protoss. Btw. Void Ray Rush is mean. Anybody from EU here who plays?

ah whatever i don't care about your arguments anymore, we play it because we can and we find it fun, if you don't then don't bother arguing or anything, just ignore the game and continue on
just remember when you buy this that you are effectively going to have to pay a monthly fee to continue playing, with the "expansions"
Hey.. can we talk about playing the game? Please?
I still need to learn the counters for Battlecraft.
also, in a melee game, is it OK to build more tech buildings (i.e. forge) to research faster?

GomTV is starting a Global Starcraft II League this September!
- Players gain the right to play through monthly tournaments.
- E-Sports fans all over the world can watch through global broadcasting service.
- Players all around the world can participate.
Earlier today, Blizzard Entertainment's partner GomTV revealed plans for an easily accessible worldwide league called the "Global StarCraft II League" (GSL). GomTV is planning on having monthly tournaments culminating in a main tournament and world championships for both the GSL 2010 and GSL 2011. Also, using GomTV's global broadcasting service, everyone around the world will be able to watch the league live through the Internet or via smart phones.
The GSL will be held every month starting with an Open Starcraft II League with a total prize pool of 200,000,000 won (approximately 170,000 USD). GomTV will broadcast the games 5 days a week, which is more than the current StarCraft leagues that are broadcasted 1~2 times a week. This way, more players and viewers will be able to enjoy the league. Also, GSL will incorporate a system based on points to promote a healthy competition. There will be a final event at the end of the year to determine the true champion and finish up the league.
There are a total of 600,000,000 won (app. 500,000 USD) in prizes planned for the year 2010, which is the most amount of money in the history of e-sports. The winner of the monthly tournament will be given 100,000,000 won (app. 85,500 USD), and runner up and semifinalists will be given 30,000,000 won (app. 25,000 USD) and 10,000,000 won (app. 8,500 USD) respectively. The players will be divided into upper and lower league depending on their performance in the 2010 league for the 2011 league.
GomTV e-sports representative Oh Joo Yang said, "The former StarCraft Leagues ran 4 different leagues at once, so the players had hard time focusing.

- Players gain the right to play through monthly tournaments.
- E-Sports fans all over the world can watch through global broadcasting service.
- Players all around the world can participate.
Earlier today, Blizzard Entertainment's partner GomTV revealed plans for an easily accessible worldwide league called the "Global StarCraft II League" (GSL). GomTV is planning on having monthly tournaments culminating in a main tournament and world championships for both the GSL 2010 and GSL 2011. Also, using GomTV's global broadcasting service, everyone around the world will be able to watch the league live through the Internet or via smart phones.
The GSL will be held every month starting with an Open Starcraft II League with a total prize pool of 200,000,000 won (approximately 170,000 USD). GomTV will broadcast the games 5 days a week, which is more than the current StarCraft leagues that are broadcasted 1~2 times a week. This way, more players and viewers will be able to enjoy the league. Also, GSL will incorporate a system based on points to promote a healthy competition. There will be a final event at the end of the year to determine the true champion and finish up the league.
There are a total of 600,000,000 won (app. 500,000 USD) in prizes planned for the year 2010, which is the most amount of money in the history of e-sports. The winner of the monthly tournament will be given 100,000,000 won (app. 85,500 USD), and runner up and semifinalists will be given 30,000,000 won (app. 25,000 USD) and 10,000,000 won (app. 8,500 USD) respectively. The players will be divided into upper and lower league depending on their performance in the 2010 league for the 2011 league.
GomTV e-sports representative Oh Joo Yang said, "The former StarCraft Leagues ran 4 different leagues at once, so the players had hard time focusing. Even the fans will be able to enjoy it more with many games a week. Before, only players in progaming teams were able to participate, but anyone can participate at a professional level in this league. Nationality and team involvement is not necessary as long as players have the skills to do well in the monthly leagues and move up to the upper league."
GomTV is planning on sponsoring skilled players and also planning on adding other StarCraft II leagues including a clan league. The details for GSL 2011 are planned to be released near the end of this year.

This is a SC2 thread, and anything related to SC2 (videos, maps, articles, etc), goes here.
I made this thread, and this is what I made it for. If you want a thread just for talking about boring crap like how you won that one boring game, then go ahead and make another thread for it yourself.
