I've played for about 3 days straight on almost no sleep. ^^ I was a C Protoss on Iccup and right now I'm in Div 1 of the Gold League. Ranked 2nd atm. I'm playing Random atm but I'm really loving Terran.
So as an average SC1 player I'm doing ok in SC2.
Ask me anything. does eg.inka get angry often? he was the first bad manner player ive played in sc2, he didnt even type GG just called me a newb who all-in'd when it wasnt an all-in at all. + Show Spoiler [my thoughts on the game] +a couple zealots, immortals, stalkers vs mass lings tried to secure an expo as if id let him take it.
and yes i actually make zerglings for both defense till i get to mutas (unless toss opens zealot heavy build which case i go roach, then later back-tech to lings) and for offense/counterattacks if possible, which it was. your friend is really close-minded, tell him to remember this is a new game and mass zerglings vs protoss doesnt mean all-in anymore. He seems to think if a player doesn't do what he thinks is the right way to play, he's going all-in, or hes a newb, etc etc.
I get angry too. ^^

Is it easier to see proxied factories on the high ground above your mineral line in plain view of your pylons in SC2 as compared to SC1? Will this increase your personal chances of competing in future showmatches you think?
Uhh. What?

I just saw that game you linked, awesome, I wonder if turtling (maybe with a few tanks) getting a nice air force and expanding will be viable. By getting the air force you prevent them from expanding while at the same time securing your own expos.
Also what does that science vessal thing that you got do?

Do you think that SC2 is going to be as much competitive as SC:BW in korea? I mean, there are going to be a lot of different pro teams or they will just make a separate league for SC2? What has been improved in SC2 compared to SC:BW?
|
Are there any stereotypes for the races yet that might be true or just myths amongst the players? e.g. Terran turtlers, Protoss 1a2a3a, Zerg rushers, etc.
Or is it too early for stuff to spread around like that.
I am particularly interested with this view from WC3 players who won't be influenced by the current SC1 perceptions

Will SC2 games have less of the PvT 200/200 vs 200/200 fully upgraded battles we all love from starcraft, or is that option just as likely with the builds being used?
|
did i get the right impression that minerals are depleted far quicker than in SC ?
|
so i have heard that most sc2 version use the qwert system for hotkeys, but not the english/american version.
is there an option to make this version to qwert as well?
|
what hotkeys have been changed for protoss?
zealot still z?
robotics facility still r?
stargate s?
or are most of them the same except for probe being e?
|
How long did it take to kind of figure out what units counter what? Also, do you miss channels from BW? It seems like it's going to be hard to meet new people if it's just a friends list type thing.
|
Are you finding that you need to be faster and more comfortable with the control ie needing APM like in BW?
|
What does that "... will be revealed" mean? Saw it in many games, usually followed by "...is revealed" or smth

The Raven is the new Science Vessel. It can drop Sentry Turrets, has a point defense system to block ranged attacks at 10 energy per blocked shot, and it can cast the Hunter Seeker missiles.

I have no idea what Korea is going to do. I assume Kespa will pick it up but I really don't know because of their current relationship with Blizzard. (Seems bad to me but *shrug* who knows)
Hard to answer that last question.

No idea. So far games tend to not last past 12-15min. for me and I have rarely hit 200/200.

Currently the hotkeys are: qwertasdf

Hmmm. With the new mining resources available for the Races it seems that way but in reality you can do A LOT off of just 1 base like in WC3. One thing I've learned is that it seems REALLY difficult to do any kind of Econ builds but maybe I just haven't seen one pulled off well enough yet. Zerg seems to be the only race that can do it at the moment.

I do miss channels from BW. It's pretty hard to talk the guy that just face fucked you because you don't have his 2nd name to friend add him to ask him what lead him to do that build vs that race on that map etc.

I feel multitasking is a HUGE thing to have in SC2. Because of MBS, AutoMine, you don't need to dedicate APM to that but because every single unit has some ability or another, you need to be constantly activating them and microing your forces.

Something that will be revealed in the future. I have no idea.

In the post-game stat view, I believe you can add people as friends by right clicking their names.

Lmao, it means if you kill their nexus', CC's or all their hatchery's, they will be revealed, just like in WC3. It stops people from playing hide the pylon.
