Level 12 right now, doing the 4v4 strat. Ends the game around 12-13 minutes for me, with about 50-60k exp. Ugh, I don't know if I can make it...I thought I'd never grind/farm ever again until this challenge came along.

This is how blizzard plans to keep people playing hots. By farming like WoW LOL. I can see it now *Need 3 more for heroic 4v4 for epic skins* or a 25 man raid on char for tier skins

Is anyone doing this with Zerg and getting 12-13 minute games? The fastest I've gotten is Hydra spam and that still takes me to like 18-19 minutes due to the stubborn AI or is everyone just quitting at the xp reduction? Those last few minutes of a huge army busting everything down just seems too easy to pass up.

Yeah not worth it since it's 77% reduction which is a very very tiny amount. I'm getting 14 minutes as Protoss btw, Zerg you should be getting 10-12 minutes.

The fastest i got was 55 at like 16 30. I usually push out at 14 to kill them at 16 30 because after the 50k its 77% reduction and that is a bit too much =(

Doing it as Zerg, 50k+ exp games in 13 minutes. Playing on megaton, 7 resource AIs, put opponent ones on eco build, 50% hp.

BO:
10gas
9pool
Extractor trick to get 11 drones
Research Lair
Ovie + 3 drones
Infestor pit + Queen
Drones
Research Hive
Constantly ask res from AI (2k each and don't wait for AI to fully provide them, just cancel and request regularly)
Ultralisk cavern
Put down 4 more hatches - one in expand/get 4 queens/research ling speed/adrenal glands (you can start this before hive is finished depending on resources available)
Use most larva for overlords
When ultralisk cavern done - should be around 7:30 - train 6 ultras and start chitinous plating
Drone a bit/make more overlords/ultras/lings
Attack when chitinous plating is done
Dump extra minerals into overlords for more exp, when you are 200/200.
You should win game a bit after exp reduction kicks in.

I normally dont really care about portraits. But these are pretty unique, so that is pretty cool I guess.

I don't know. To me it doesnt seem worthy. If it was some super cool Kerrigan portrait or pikachu zergling, then maybe. But those aren't that great to spend time on those.

The 4v4 strat seems to work for me to grind out games. All AIs are set to cheater-eco with economy builds to maximize money I can siphon + units on the other side to kill. Rush mass carrier or tank/thor on megaton off of three bases and then 1a which takes 20-25 minutes (my latest game was with carriers and was a 23 minute win for 73k + 10k bonus exp).

The most annoying part is keeping my money low by building auxiliary structures until the gg happens. I start running out of places on the map to plant bases. =(

As far as I know it's not a bug.
They increased the XP requirement for each level, so people got XP taken from them.

Here is a guide for Zerg players who wants to farm EXP

[image loading]

Game Lenght : 14-15 mins
Experience per Game : 61 000~
Race : Zerg
Map : Vigilance

The lobby :
- You + 3 AI (I prefer zerg allies, because you do not annoy them with creep spread)
- Against 4 AI (4 Terrans, you kill everything very fast and you won't get fungaled for example)
- Difficulty : Cheater Insane for everyone (you'll be able to kill more if the opponents produce more)
- AI Build orders : Economic Focus for everyone
- Handicap : 50% handicap for ennemies

Lobby Screenshot :
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


The main goal is to do use AI ressources with the sharing system. I do a strong Muta/Ling timing with fast upgrades and a ton of macro-hatches. You will kill EVERYTHING, VERY FAST !.

Yea, muta has been my best bet with Insane and triple hatches only mining gas and even then, I get cut down. I usually head out at about 10 minutes with about 50-60 mutas and they roll through everything and get the 50k mark by the 14 minute time. The biggest pain is setting everything up each time. Too bad 'Pla Again' doesn't copy everything. Also, every time I surrender, the game doesn't load the post-game screen, only when I win. Quite odd but delays me a bit.

Sorry if this has been answered before but can you get a single portrait by leveling a single race to level 30? Or do you have to level all three races to 30 to get the portraits?

For example if I level zerg to 30 do I get the lurker portrait or do I have to level all three races to 30 to get the lurker portrait?

Well. it's funny that 50% handicaped AIs give full EXP for everything.

orry if this has been answered before but can you get a single portrait by leveling a single race to level 30? Or do you have to level all three races to 30 to get the portraits?

For example if I level zerg to 30 do I get the lurker portrait or do I have to level all three races to 30 to get the lurker portrait?

First, there are no Lurker portraits.

Second, if you're leveling up as Zerg, you will have more Zerg portraits. If you level up as Terran, you will have all terran portraits, same for protoss. Level up as each race and get rewards.

Oh, thought I read somewhere that it was a lurker -.-

I mean the exclusive beta portrait that ports over to the full game. I realize that you get more portraits from the race that you mainly play. That's not what I'm asking about.

Profile -> Rewards -> Portraits. I don't see there special race portraits. All new portraits are rewards for leveling per each race
