Don't worry! WC3 on hard is really hard with signs to craziness and unfair!
I did it once yeaaaars ago, when I actually was really good in WC3 (I still have my WCG National Finals Badge somewhere around here...) and hated it! It was: "Ok, I have to do this NOW and have around 47sec, before I have to get back ..." timings and many save/load actions! No real fun!
You will love SC2-brutal after this

We should do a SC + BW blind race some time! Anyone keen?
Problem is I think there a few 'Zero Hour' type missions in there that are shit boring.

I'd be game! Haven't played in the whole thing in years, so I'm definitely blind enough. ^^

Alright, how about we set a tentative time of Saturday 1st February at around 12pm CET?
Try and spread the word around, the more, the merrier, I guess.

There are a few timed missions, but most of them aren't too bad.

Doesn't help that I'm just not good at WC3 (yet). I reckon doing the race on Normal wouldn't have been fun, because it would be too easy, though.

You were actually doing much better near the end than you were at the start. If you were to try again while fully awake using what you learned, I think you'd do much better. The problem with WC3 is there's a lot of really subtle mechanics to manage like upkeep so playing on hard when you haven't played in ages is just punishing.

I could play along with the Broodwar campaign mod for SC2. Never owned BW

Never beat the BW mod either. Game's too hard

The campaign mod for SC2 wouldn't really work. There's too many reasons to go into why right now, but if you've never owned it, the starcraft anthology is very cheap and can be bought digitally on battle.net

Figured that. Wouldnt enter the race with that ofc.
I'll have to look into the last part though. If only I could remember my B.net password. the b.net client erased every memory of it with its damn convenience

About the WC3 race... Has anyone ever bothered looking up the sda records for wc3+tft?
Even though it is segmented, it is quite insane...
4.5 hours for RoC, 2h08min for TFT
This are all campaigns except rexxar (which would have been part of the race, but still... even bbf forfeited the race after 44hours, being at tft ud6, i think)
on hard....

Hmm, I should have taken a look at that race =D. I beat TFT in like 9 hours last time i played through the campaign but ive played it over a dozen times =/. Not much of a blind race for me x.x


If I wasn't working on the first I would take part of the SC + BW race you guys are setting up!

Werster rants are the best.
Werster impersonations are even better.

Yeah, I reckon that if I'd play through it once or twice (and actually memorise or remap all the hotkeys + use control groups more often) I'd be able to breeze through Hard mode a lot easier. I want to look into the segmented SDA run and see how feasible single segment runs would be of each campaign. Given the length of each campaign, I think it could be a pretty cool thing to try out.

Just curious, because I normally run just for me:
What is a "blind" race?

Blind, in this context, means you haven't played the game before, usually.

In this specific case I'm not really sure what GTR is aiming for with "blind," since my guess is much of TL has played SC(BW) but possibly not the campaign, and whether that counts as "blind" isn't really clear.

blind is often just referring to " have no clue about speedrunning the game" So you know now shortcuts, tricks etc... as seen in the wc3 race ^^ most participants had played the wc3 campaign before

Anyone has an estimation of the time of the race ? I vaguely remember BW being extremely long, a lot more than either WoL or HoTS campaigns.
