How does the system work? observer mode is not yet available. On February 22 2010 05:37 Floydian wrote: What are peoples thoughts on hellions? I've watched a lot of streams since the beta came out and I've hardly seen any used. Any of the beta testers here tested them out much? At first glance they look like they have potential in worker harassment due to their fast movement speed and their damage bonus, but so far reapers seem to do that much better. Anyone found any use for them? I'm also really intrigued by Ravens, I love the sound of them. What are peoples general views on them so far? Specifically, how good are their auto turrets, seeker missiles etc. How much movement does there seem to be between leagues? I'm just interested how easy it is to drop down a league or be promoted up one. Has anyone here actually managed to change league from the one they were initially placed in? helions are only effective against badly controlled units. their shooting rate is too slow and without the tech lab upgrade they deal no damage at all. at least from my experience. raven turrets are easily destroyed so a player with decent multi-tasking will have no problem with them, should one choose to harass with them. haven't seen them used in a serious battle yet. as for moving between the leagues it's relatively easy if you're good. i was initially in the 2v2 silver league with my partner and after 30games we moved up to platinum (skipping gold). but there's also someone in my gold league with ca. 170-90 stats and 16xx points, obviously not moving at all between leagues. | ||

- Where is the obelisk, is it replaced by chrono boost ? - How does the league system works ? When do I go to the higher league when i'm in the top 10 of my league ? - Do you think it is more difficult to scout than in Starcraft 1 ? - Does the guardian shield stack ? | ||

The morphing time into overseer is really short, plus overseer are naturraly as fast as upgraded overlords. I do not think this will work very well :/ | ||

between port forwarding not working on some of my routers, and not being able to play with multiple people, I've had my fair share of networking issues with routers and SCBW. Anybody have any problems, or previously had issues with SCBW and now have no problems with the SCII beta? edit: silly me, this got asked above. leaving this here in case somebody else comes and answers. | ||

Yes the obelisk is gone and replace with chrono boost which is on the nexus 3. Don't know the exact specifics yet but you pretty much go up or down if you win/lose a significant amount of games otherwise you continue to play in your league 4. Yes and no, yes its harder overall but because 1 unit can't block a ramp its also easier. 5. ? refresh my memory on what guardian shield is.

Guardian shield is the protection spell by the sentry, reducing by 2 range damage. Anyway, thanks for your answers  | ||

Wouldn't starting splits be better if you pressed F1, clicked a patch, F1 clicked the next patch etc for your starting 6 workers instead of the splits we're seeing on VODS? (Assuming your APM is decent) Its simply impossible to do it quick enough to get any benefit out of it also as soon as you move you're workers they aren't idle anymore, just better to to send them to 1 mineral patch on 1 side then grab half of them and send them to a middle patch.
