How is SC2 mechanically compared to BW? (in terms of keyboard setups, speed, how it generally works etc.) How does it run on your comp? I know that they have the general system reqs out, but i was wondering how the game runs on varying grades of computers. That's all. I strongly suggest and hope other people will post questions as well Also, does anyone know how many people are playing right now? | ||

Can you post your system/internet specs and how its running? I feel this is really important and cool information. Are there any graphical things you can customize like low/mid/high? How does the game run on your system? | ||

If I have different unit types selected at the same time, how do I use their different abilities? Does it work with tab, like in WC3? | ||

So they three spells now, none of which is spawn infested terran. Obviously once you research burrow, this can burrow. And it has an upgrade to move faster, and also another upgrade to spawn with 25 more energy. None of the following spells can be used while burrowed. The first one is like energy suck. Or energy drain or something. Basically you can go up to any enemy unit or building press e and it'll spit out a short range proboscis into the unit or structure and suck for minimal damage to the unit, but half of the damage is turned into energy. Speaking of suck, that would be an apt name. Obviously trying to suck the life out of a unit while a group of marines is hammering you is not going to work out very well. And you can't suck your own units or buildings so forget regenning mana that way either. You can make this one auto cast, and it'll just suck from whatever is in range if it is sitting still, so you might as well leave it on. The next one is that neural control spell that was shown in the beta report. This one actually causes the unit in question to grow tentacles and shit all over it while you are in control. But it passes after 10 seconds. Only works on biological units, and of course you are completely exposed while casting this spell. The last one is fungal infestation. He spits out a blob of green goo that seems to damage a little and prevent movement of the unit for a very small amount of time. This could be useful, but the unit can still defend itself, so I'm not totally sold on it. Could be useful against zealots if you are using roaches. Given that both roaches and infestors can move underground at comparable speeds, they could make an interesting raiding party, but I haven't tried in game yet because its too late, I gotta sleep. All in all the unit itself is fucking cool looking, and has great death animation but I'm having a hard time making any use of him. | ||

Would be a lot cooler if the Siphon Life of the infestor could also be used on a friendly unit... Would make way more sense... About the protoss Macro Mechanic: Does the energy cost mean it can be used on 4 buildings simultaneously in the beginning of the game? Because that would could hurt, a LOT | ||

However Blizzard did mention that this probably would not' be in the initial Build but might still make it into later builds so I would not be to scared yet. So far hotkeys tend to find themselves in more accessible locations aswell so after a little getting used to the new assignments it needs less finger acrobatics to macro/micro. Warcraft 3 has customizable hotkeys, so I expect SC2 will have it as well, eventually. | ||

I think it looks pretty good, of course minus the zergling vs zergling and zealot vs zealot fights (is any able to actually tell what is going on, honestly?). I also can't really tell what's in the Terran clump, but that's because I'm not familiar with the units or the game itself. It'll definitely take some getting use to, but I don't want SC2 to fail and I also don't want SC1 to die because of SC2 but it's inevitable. | ||

I got a Studio 15 from Dell (2x T8300, Mobility Radeon HD 3450) and it runs SC2. But I have to set all options to low otherwise the game's reactions are quite slow although they're always smooth. Played toss because it looks the coolest from what I've seen. So far I'd say mass zealots own in pvp. If the game takes a little longer and doesn't evolve into who has more zealots, Immortals are the shit :D They own stalkers, cannons, buildings and even zealots in small numbers. pvz was hard, I only won one game where my opponent was vastly inferior. Died once to 7pool and once to 2hatch speedlings. Had no chance at all. (I was platinum division 3 rank 2 when I left) I didn't notice any lag at all. Blizzard has done a great job with that. Like FA, I'm really missing channels. You are in b.net playing, but you are alone. If you don't have friends online it's just not as much fun. Also ingame I didn't find a way to reply to a friend outside the game. Hotkeys are not customizable (from what I can tell). But they are fine. Most common things are on E, like the pylon or probe. Some BW-hotkey combinations still work bc - cannon, bn - nexus and so on.With terran I noticed: If you have 2 factories hotkeyed (one with tech lab, one with reactor) and you build 3 hellions they all line up in the one with the techlab. Don't know if that's intentional or an error what. I had to bind all facs with tech lab to one hotkey and with reactor to another hotkey. Surprise attacks are imba Either phase prism with 8 warp gates pumping or a stalker blink up with a full group of them. It's very hard to see it coming because it happens so fast. Warpgates are really good. Build 1 phase prism, fly over to the enemy base (in the back) and insta-warp-in 8 zeals or some dts or high temps/zeals. So much fun! Resumee: The game is sooo much fun! | ||

What on earth are the 'rested points' that we can see in some profile screenshots - how are they gained and what do they do? I would normally assume they act like rested experience in RPGs, but I remember a quote from a Blizz dev/pr that said that it's something different, and will be explained later. After finishing a game the post-game scorecard has three tabs. The third one reads 'build order'; how informative is this, and how is the information presented? I haven't seen any stream which didn't go straight onto the next game, so I haven't seen any of this UI. What percentage of games are progressing to late game tech? How do the powerful units feel to control; and does it seem like they are worth the expense? | ||

If I am not mistaken they serve as a buffer when LOSING games, reducing the point loss. However rested points go down when winning (and i would assume losing). Basically you don't have to warm up in a practice game for fear of losing "valuable" ladder points from beeing cold, instead you just jump right into the fray. The build order tab shows you what who built when for the first couple of minutes in the game (both units and buildings and the current supply at that time). Can save you watching the replay when you arent sure wether the opponent used an all in build or simply a well executed aggressive build. Wether games go to late game depends on matchup, however generally speaking few games do get that far currently since typically someone will mess up and get run over. When the game does get into the later phases higher tier units are incredible, while basic units still retain their usefulness in most cases. | ||

The build order tab shows you what who built when for the first couple of minutes in the game (both units and buildings and the current supply at that time). Can save you watching the replay when you arent sure wether the opponent used an all in build or simply a well executed aggressive build. Wether games go to late game depends on matchup, however generally speaking few games do get that far currently since typically someone will mess up and get run over. When the game does get into the later phases higher tier units are incredible, while basic units still retain their usefulness in most cases. Thanks! The implementation of the rest sounds fantastic - it'll be great not to have to worry about losing rank when warming up. | ||

i have a question. What's up with "XXX was revealed" or smth like that. it shows you your enemy buildings and units for example. i think it's pretty dumb. anyone have any experience with that It happens when you lose all your worker-producing buildings (hatcheries, Nexuses, Command Centres) and goes away when you rebuild one. It's to stop idiotic spamming of pylons across the map to piss off your opponent. | ||

You don't get revealed instantly and the counter stops as soon as you start building a new one. This will effect the outcome in ~1/1000000 games, I only saw one of them in Starcraft and in that game I would say that it would have been fair for the terran to win instead of the toss. The terran left when the toss only had one pylon and he had a whole base, since he couldn't find the pylon while the toss carrier army was picking off his units. | ||

You have to kill every one of their town halls to reveal any other buildings they have made (like hiding Extractors or Pylons in order to stay alive when they've clearly lost.) Sure, there are games where one building has made a difference, but those are one-in-a-million occurrences, but the amount of fucktards you'll see on Battle.Net that decide to hide Pylons after a lost game are far more common than that. | ||

Question - Does the new Protoss speed up ability only apply to one building at a time or is it an AoE? Can each nexus do it or are you limited to one use? Can someone use it when they're building the colossus and tell me how much faster it actually builds? The Colossus buildtime is ca 54sec without chrono boost (the nexus speed-ability) and ca 37 sec with chrono boost. Although chrono boost itself lasts only around 23sec so you have to do it twice. | ||

is the pylon radius more circular now, or is it still like sc1 where it was pretty much square, with a circle visual can you just move larvae around the hatchery where you want? relying on a bug for only moving them to the left was dumb so i imagine they took that out. i tihnk it would be an ok idea to be able to control larvae movement - it adds that "little edge" factor. | ||

I don't have the beta so I can't post screenshots, but Blizzard have said that people with a widescreen will have a small increase in viewable area over 4:3 users. Based on this I would say that 16  has more viewable area than 16:10, altho it would be so small a difference that it is not really relevant. | ||

Say you want to build a Zealot, you'd select the Warpgate, hit Z, then left-click a spot in a psi-matrix field (the field Pylon/Warp Prisms generate) is available and the Zealot will warp in. They have a cooldown, i.e., once you create a unit from it, you have to wait out it's cooldown before creating another one; you can't queue. And no, there is no autowarp/rally for Warpgates. | ||

Fortunately, to my knowledge the F keys don't do anything else right now, so it wouldn't be hard to implement them. And when they do, I wish they'd go beyond F4. One thing that is awesome is that with Protoss and warp gates, it automatically assigns a key (w) for selecting all your warp gates, so you don't have to waste a hot key for the buildings. I really like that feature. Oh, and btw - warp gates are awesome - I love being able to send in a phase prism and rain in the pain. | ||

Also, with the "bonus damage" system, as opposed to BW's explosive/concussive system, weapon upgrades make units more well-rounded in SC2. In BW weapon upgrades give Dragoons +1 damage against small(going from 10 to 13), +2 damage against large(20 to 26.) Immortals get +2 damage against light(20 to 26), +2 damage against armored(50 to 56.) Do you feel like counters get somewhat softer as time goes on? Or is this small difference largely negligible compared to the blobs of unit mixture found lategame. I'm guessing that basic upgrades are one of the last things you think about with a shiny new game, but the Zealots and Colossi really got me wondering. Thanks for your time! | ||

Are tech routes like Colossi (as opposed to, say, HT) more attractive if you're up on upgrades? Yes they are, however, they have slightly different roles obviously. But upgrades work WONDERS. I almost think things die too quickly tbh. 12 reapers can take out a CC/Nex/Hatch in prolly 4-5 throws each, which aint that long =p Do you feel like counters get somewhat softer as time goes on? TBH, it depends on the counter for me, or maybe I just haven't experienced it enough. But if you see a marauder on a stalker with the marauder at +2 weapon, that stalkers get wtfpwned, like it's not fair, and god forbid the marauder uses stim. That's just one example I've seen from my teammate getting rolled lol. Or is this small difference largely negligible compared to the blobs of unit mixture found lategame. Just wanted to separate the questions. Sometimes your build calls for upgrades or sometimes you just forget. But atm, it's hard to play against someone of very equal caliber, meaning if someone goes upgrades they have a distinct advantage, if they didn't already. And I haven't checked the numbers, but if yours are correct then there's your reason why. Blob of units yes, however, say you're on Protoss and you have +2 ground and +1 armor, your army is going to consist of stalkers zealots and maybe colossus/ht. They're all getting the bonus. They're all pizzlepooning. | ||

You can tell Terran is already going to be a very upper-skill driven race when the Protoss 'macro mechanic' is a one button press that increases research/build times by 50%, whereas Terran's 'macro mechanic' is only beneficial provided you can macro and spend additonal resources. It really seems like it pales in comparison to Zerg's additional larva and Protoss' speed boost, but I guess the reactor attachments make up for this. | ||

The Immortal and Stalker, however, gets their bonus damage upgraded alongside their base. | ||

My ID has a lot of games on it because we share it with 3 people now and so far I've only played the same person in 5 or so occasions which makes me think a lot of people are playing which is good imo. Games are actually pretty short... My SC1 games were usually 7-15 minutes on iccup at B with the occasional long game every 5 or so games. SC2 seems faster paced and people are just overall bad right now so winning with the first couple attacking units is pretty easy with some micro. I think the micro is a little weird to get used to though because of how fluid and "smart" the units are. it's not a bad thing, but something that is just different and must be accounted for.... it makes "out microing" someone a lot more difficult than it was in sc1 because units tend to auto surround which say in zvz was something a zerg would skillfully have to do with positioning their units prior to the fight and making adjustments after engaging them. That's kinda out of the window for the most part. you can still dance though. | ||

a) How is the salvage ability? It would figure free bunkers would make Terran impossible to rush early game, but i have not seen alot of people use/abuse this ability. Why would you NOT want a free bunker or two early game? b) Free Supply - How does this work, does a supply depot drop from the sky or do you have to click on a supply depot to double its supply. Can you use this ability on the same depot over and over? Interesting idea, I heard the MULE pays for the CC in one use, could players forgo building depots and instead build multiple CCs to get more and more MULES? c) Planetary Fortress - Is it good enough to warrant not upgrading to the Orbital Command? I am assuming its still stuck in place when upgraded? On another note, can you use the MULE ability while the CC is in the Air? (assuming you cant) d) Corrupters - Are these units worthwhile, (thinking ZvZ here) Does it still have the ability to turn the enemy ship/overlord into a turret and if so can the turret fire at ground units? e) Gold Minerals - Does these expansions "break the game" meaning that the first person to successfully secure the base pretty much wins due to the faster income? | ||

I haven't even noticed salvage 2.) I don't really use this, I pretty much exclusively use orbital command for mule's//scans. Once you use it on a supply depo, it is permanent. You can't add supplies to a depo more than once (just tested). 3.) Probably entirely situational. You can't use any CC abilities while it is lifted off. 4.) I haven't seen them used but it's still got the ability to corrupt units killed by it to the turret. It also has a spell ( didn't know till I saw it ingame ) 75 energy that causes a building to to production for 8(i think) seconds. 5.) No, there's a lot more to the game than that | ||

So are hellions useful for anything? I mean, when would one rather get a hellion than.. I dunno, something else :X Perhaps a lil too soon to know exactly I guess, but I really like the Hellion | ||

The one game I saw Cruisers vs. Rays, BCs were very effective (blast some void rays with yamatos - "pull back" micro the rest). Is this representive or are Void Rays still the hard counter vs. Battle Cruisers? | ||

I don't understand why one should choose between 270 min over time versus a free supply, unless you want to produce like 2 marines 5 seconds earlier. Thank you for the answer as well. I think its pretty clear to people that the "extra 2 supply" option is going to only be for noobs... I can't see this somehow being incorporated into a build unless its a VEEERY specific timing window to get an extra marauder really quick or something. Another question: Are any 'natural advantages' visible within the non mirror matchups at all? as in P>T, T>Z, Z>P. Probably too early for this question though. | ||

the main use of the queen of course is to inject larva to your hatches, but the energy regenerates faster than you can use it up to inject larva for 1 hatch, so heres the question: do you think "wasting" energy on a creep tumor (which can clone itself in a certain radius of itself for free) is a good idea since you can slowly move your creep towards your enemy (or wherever you want it to go) to have your ground army move faster? i have thought about that for some time and i think it would be quite a waste not to invest that little energy into a bonus to your ground units agility, even if its not for the entire map, and the creep will only CREEP to your enemy very slowly (haha), which means it will mostly be viable in late game where huge zerg swarms get a nice bonus to their arrival time to the battle, or the creep can even damage enemy buildings (need to check on that, im not sure its still in. | ||

I don't have a key or anything, but in the event I do get one I'm european and all my friends I usually play starcraft with are from the US and it'd really suck if there was no way for me to play with them. I haven't seen anyone even mention this but I figure its important knowledge if you want to play intercontinentally with your friends. | ||

With +1 it's 9*2 which would take the 35hp away in 2 hits. (just) Once Zerg gets +1 armor it goes back to 3 hits. | ||

I don't have the beta, but if I did I would probably pause before a battle and run it through ten times in a row at some point to see how to properly micro armies. | ||

Can you secure your base early game without building offensive units, similar to Forge FE in SC1? I don't remember the exact stats between the two but they seem to be just as effective however things are a lot different in sc2. With new units, cliff jumping, warp in and other abilities/quick forms of transportation they will get in your base or just overrun you and quickly unless you have a lot of cannons covering your entire base but that would defeat the purpose and set you behind a lot. So unless something changes that would be a no. | ||

1. How long does a orbital command (OC) needs to build up 50 energy from 0? 2. Does it start with 50? 3. Is it right that an OC needs as long as 3 scvs to build? (51 vs 3x 17=51 - from sc2armory) - the price for OC 150 and SCV 50 is right i guess? 4. A Mule gets 270 minerals in his lifespan, right? How many minerals do 3 scvs get in the same time? 5. Are the minerals per scv(based on time, not round) are always the same as long as you have ≤ 2 worker per mineral? 6. does the OC get energy when lifted? thanks in advance. | ||

With the high-ground visibility mechanic there sure is some use for them - if you place them properly and deny the enemy getting visual they can be a pain in the butt. but it's probably too soon to give a correct answer | ||

What are the spells and how do they work in SC2? Which units have those spells and how many spellcasters are there for each race? Do they work as good high-level unit defense like in SC1? Also, do any two templar merge to form a regular archon now(HT+DT and DT+DT into regular archon)? I know its a lot, but I'd greatly appreciate a response. Spells absolutely pwned in SC1. | ||

Reavers and Lurkers missing. Medics missing. The games are still 20 minutes average. There are a lot of animations, firing, but also moving. Microing is made easier, cause the units surround their enemies automatically. Buildings can be selected together for a hotkey. Hotkeys are for all the races the same. It's all placed at the left keyboardside. IE: (p)robe and (p)ylon are now at the (E)-key. They're not customizable. And many more differences | ||

On February 18 2010 15:25 onmach wrote: Someone was asking about spell casters. I just gave the zerg tech tree a whirl, and gave infestors a real look at. So they three spells now, none of which is spawn infested terran. Obviously once you research burrow, this can burrow. And it has an upgrade to move faster, and also another upgrade to spawn with 25 more energy. None of the following spells can be used while burrowed. The first one is like energy suck. Or energy drain or something. Basically you can go up to any enemy unit or building press e and it'll spit out a short range proboscis into the unit or structure and suck for minimal damage to the unit, but half of the damage is turned into energy. Speaking of suck, that would be an apt name. Obviously trying to suck the life out of a unit while a group of marines is hammering you is not going to work out very well. And you can't suck your own units or buildings so forget regenning mana that way either. You can make this one auto cast, and it'll just suck from whatever is in range if it is sitting still, so you might as well leave it on. The next one is that neural control spell that was shown in the beta report. This one actually causes the unit in question to grow tentacles and shit all over it while you are in control. But it passes after 10 seconds. Only works on biological units, and of course you are completely exposed while casting this spell. The last one is fungal infestation. He spits out a blob of green goo that seems to damage a little and prevent movement of the unit for a very small amount of time. This could be useful, but the unit can still defend itself, so I'm not totally sold on it. Could be useful against zealots if you are using roaches. Given that both roaches and infestors can move underground at comparable speeds, they could make an interesting raiding party, but I haven't tried in game yet because its too late, I gotta sleep. All in all the unit itself is fucking cool looking, and has great death animation but I'm having a hard time making any use of him. Don't you usually have to infest a Terran CC (to get Infested Terrans)? From what I remember from both original SC and BW, that was the case with the Queen (which originally had the Infest ability). For newbie Zerg players, it's easier to destroy the enemy CC than to Infest it (mostly because the window between the onset of Infest vulnerability and the CC blowing up is so small); it used to drive me nucking futz even in campaign/skirmish mode getting that window just right. | ||

SC1 CC was infestable from 750 life (i.e., half). If you can't get it during half the life of the CC then... :/ You don't need anything to be "useful against zealots if you are using roaches" since roaches annihilate the crap out of zealots anyway ;( | ||

e.g. If before, it'd reduce a 16 damage attack to 14 damage before hardened shields reduced it to 10, hence being useless If after, a 16 damage attack would be reduced to 10 damage by hardened shields, and then further down to 8 by the sentry 2) Do multiple sentry shields stack? e.g. Two sentries using shield would reduce the damage all units take within the shared space by 4. 3) Can you see the shadow of a unit without seeing the unit itself? e.g. An overlord is hanging just outside your base to provide sight so the zerg can place a nydus in your base, you see the shadow of the overlord on the edge of your base and know where it is. A colossus is ready to ambush your army from atop a cliff, you see its shadow on the path ahead and avoid it. 4) I've heard F1 selects all idle workers. Wouldn't it be faster at the start of the game to just hit F1 then right click on your minerals than to marquee select all your workers then right click your minerals like all the streamers seem to be doing? | ||

I haven't needed to use immortals much yet so someone will have to answer this 2. No they don't stack 3. Yes you can see a shadow of a unit without seeing the unit but its very rarely gonna be a benefit like in the situations you described. 4. f1 selects only 1 worker and hitting f1 multiple times cycles through your idle workers.

Does anyone know how lenient Blizzard is on sharing beta accounts? For example, if my friend lent me his account info and I played from a different computer/IP, would the account risk being banned or anything of the sort? | ||

The advantages: The ability to warp-in units anywhere you have pylons/warp prisms... Units appear almost instantly onto the battlefield... Also, I understand there's a cool down after you use the warpgate ability, and that it's actually faster than building the unit in the gateway. Is this true? Two more related questions: 1) If the warpgate cool down is shorter than gateway build times, does it follow that, for example, a 2 warpgate player could produce more units in a given amount of time than a 3 gateway player? 2) I've seen Louder and a couple other streamers use the nexus "boost" ability on warpgates. Does this shorten the cool down period? | ||

Warp gates are arguably better for everyone because you can warp in anywhere you have pylon power but if you don't have the apm to constantly makes units as soon as its cool down is up then they might not be better for you 1. I believe warp gates are 25% lower build time so you would obviously get a free one every 4 warp gates. 2. Yes this does shorten the cool down.

yes. still 5 scvs max. the mechanism for doing it is kind of stupid tho imo. You have to have scvs next to it and then press 'O' to load them up. you cant just drag 5 scvs and right click on the cc >.> what do ovserseers do: 1) act as a detector 2) spawn changelings which can then spy on enemy base. They also move significantly faster than overlords even without the speed upgrade. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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.

I feel this is really important and cool information. Are there any graphical things you can customize like low/mid/high? How does the game run on your system? I'm running it smoothly with out a video card. I have an intel Core 2 duo processor and 2 gigs of ram. There are AMAZING customizations to the graphics. It tells you what each customization thing does and what part of you computer it uses. So I cranked up the things that use the CPU and turned low the things that use GPU. It is the best graphics customization I have ever seen in a game. I makes it so very low powered computers can play it smoothly but very powerful computers can make it beautiful and use their full potential. Probably the #1 thing that has impressed me about the game so far. | ||

Honestly I've only upgraded +1 attack (and +2) and +1 armor once, but not because I was looking to make a strategic move... it was more like OH HAY theres a forge let me upgrade and chrono boost it. Upgrades finish pretty quickly. TBH they feel like they take the same length of time it takes to upgrade Charge or even to build a Mothership. | ||
