Why no LAN? What is wrong with them?

What the fuck?


I thought a while back Blizzard said it would be impossible to rewind replays unless they did a complete overhaul on the engine and coding. Gom/Esports must've pushed them really fucking hard on this one.
But that leads me to wonder about the LAN thing. Esports would never let LAN disappear, there must be some crazy LAN 2.0 thing now.

btw, nice write up LastRomantic

Out of curiosity, what does smart cast mean? Like, how is it any different from sc1 psi storms casting?


Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that smart casting is similar to MBS, when you have 3 high templar selected and cast storm only one will cast it, if you cast storm again the second will cast it, and if you cast storm a third time the third will cast it.


Which is easier to micro and makes a stronger Psionic storm seem ridiculous.

the thing is, theyve made psi storm soo much weaker than SC's.

Did you read the article? Storm does more damage in less time over a larger area.

Remember that it's not really rewind... it's like a "checkpoint" system.

Someone will make a lan patch. Either Blizzard will add it in a later patch or some third party tool will be available. I believe~

I think patching SC2 will be much tougher than patching SC1.

Ahah rotfl, no LAN.
That's ridicolous - no more lan partys at home ppl! XD

Anyways, it's still confirmed that Zergs are the weakest race now in SC2 - they don't do enough dps, don't have an air-air counter (scourge) despite of mutas who, well, don't do enough damage to stop something in time. Zergs are going to see hard time with that protoss teletransport air thingy.

That's pretty bad - no groundbreaking nda announcement
But still eagering for the game to come

Zatic says early game Z is strong; I believe him. Didn't test it enough to confirm myself, but his reasoning is sound.

Karune agrees too, but I'm not sure Blizzard is aware exactly HOW strong. More details from Zatic if you bug him.

Oh right Hellions... they work, they're practical - honestly it's a firebat weapon on a vulture body - but I honestly feel they're not an adequate replacement for the original vulture.


This is where the Napalm Trace comes into play.

SC2 is visually way too busy, in every video I've seen. I realize I'm judging from video, but just compare to SC1 video and the huge difference in screen readability is apparent.

Here's the direct quote from the interview they're sourcing:

We got quite different answers about local area networking (LAN), where both Dustin or Sigaty said they were still discussing it, however, Pardo knew immediately: "we don't have any plans to support LAN," he said and clarified "we will not support it." The only multiplayer available will be on Battle.net.
Their are four errors in this sentance.

Was there any talk about the proposed ability for hellions, "napalm trail", or whatever?

How did protoss feel early game? Do the collossi really same that powerful/useful? Is the infestor very useful past early game?

Sounds to me like the people calling to bring back scourges are not without merit. Also I would still really like to see the Mothership being dropped to the single player campaign and replaced with the Arbiter. A "Dark Arbiter" as proposed by someone in another thread would be the best idea imo as you could add/rework/enhance/change its abilities appropriately.

I like a lot of the things Im seeing in the tech trees and though theres surely going to be a ton of balancing issues the game looks fun as hell to play already.
Hell hath no fury like the vast robot armies of a woman scorned.

hate to say i told you so about LAN..but i told you so about the LAN.
LR were you guys not allowed to take in-game screenshots/photos? were they at ?
gotta say the game is looking "fun" but also seriously flawed.

-starport is prereq for DTs, templar, and Robo support bay? the core used to be the key to any and all tech in BW. that led to so many cool styles and BOs. Now, Toss users have to core, and starport to get HTs? makes no sense.
-banelings are the demolition dwarfs from wc3. im not interested in mass suicide ground units. skurgee were amazing because you only made a few of them and really have to micro well to make them effective. massing a bunch of green demolition dwarfs to blow up shit while burrowed.. that is not zerg style.
-mutalisks sound like mere caricatures of their former selves and no scouge? an anti-air unit that turns enemy air units into "airborne turrets"? come one man, wtf. sounds like they are making all units with the idea that in battle these units will always be massed and a-moved into each other.
-mothership is so fail. why do we need useless units in sc2 browder?
-Terran seems so imba and Zerg so weak.
-still no inclusion of f2-f4 keys?
-its really easy to sit here without having played the game with its sleek new graphics and complain.. but honestly. i can't help but think that except for the starcraft intellectual property involved this game is looking for like warcraft meets C&C
