I know I've done this a number of times but I never get tired of reading this stuff. Always good for a laugh.

So I play some DoW2 now and then since my friends at work play it. Decided to rummage around what I hear is the DoW equivalent of TL (read: where the most competitive players hang out) and found this gem:

http://dowsanctuary.com/index.php?showtopic=43889&st=0

They apparently have a passing knowledge of the pro scene as I saw them mentioning Flash, Jaedong, Fantasy, and Boxer. However, in response to the OP saying Mutas might be too powerful...

Ghost. Bunker. Dead Mutalisks. Mutas are light armor, Ghosts deal full damage to this.


There's more, you can read it in the link if you're interested and looking for a good laugh at the DoW community's expense.

Edit: Apparently they found Mora's post about hiring a Balance Designer, so they read TL too: http://dowsanctuary.com/index.php?showtopic=43912

I do know Starcraft. Do I play often? No. Thanks to Nick "Tasteless" Plot", I know everything there is to know about Starcraft. He just exlains everything in a very cool fashion.


no offense Tasteless, but LOL
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.

Ya man, you could lockdown them

or nuke them

also you can cloak and hide from them

Edit: tbh though their quality level of posting on that forum is pretty impressive, despite the fact that most of them know nothing about the game.

Building Scout "Victory Fleets" was a common occurence back in early Broodwar, but when Missile Turrets got a cost decrease and people began to realize just how middling the Scout was for cost, it stopped being used. While excellent as a harasser and one of the best air-to-air fighters in Starcraft (You will find nothing better for busting Carriers/Battlecruisers, save for Wraiths, who Scouts will consistently out-gun). Smart players use them to cruise about and Scout for outlying enemy positions, striking enemy aircraft formations, and strafing unprotected ground units. The fact that the Wraith is one of the beefiest low-tier aircraft in the game goes a long way.


Scouts are for scouting.

Several issues with the above. Ghosts are formidable (and are easily a major advantage Terrans have), but they deal only middling damage and there's ways around them even on air-dominated maps.


Holy shit. TvZ revolution!

Okay seriously... Ghosts are the fucking best unit in the game. They beat EVERYTHING. Why don't we see them more. :\

I don't know if I can handle any more innovation arguments from the Relic fanbase so I'm afraid of going to this link

What's funny is that tasteless himself wouldn't say he knows everything about sc, let alone some dude who watched a few vods with tasteless commentating.

You know, ghosts really do rape mutalisk. If you ever play a muta micro map with ghosts on it, your mutas just melt. But they're way too expensive and suck against everything else to be useful in a normal TvZ I guess.
