Every new game(RTS games AFAIK) with a lobby etc have chats! Especially these games that focus on casual players. Too many ppl just sit in the chats in all games and waste time imo. But it looks fun for them so np | ||

I would also like to see a check box, similar to the one in our TLPD VODs list, that can show which player wins and loses. I think all this would be extremely helpful when scanning through a long list of reps. | ||

I mean.. It's ok that it kills many of them, but the speed in which it does it, is ridiculous. You can't harass the SCV's, you can't kill the CC... It's just a total *no go area* for Zerglings. | ||

And with fun i meen a unit that is hard to handle. Like in sc1 where its 2 units of this kind. The units i have in mind from sc1 is Muttas, since they have stacking ability they need lots of practise and defilers, since they are slow and have lots of nice spells (gamechanger and hard to use). So what does zerg have now exept alot of "normal units" so to speak + queen that in my mind isent even a fun unit, since i like the way u had to make many hatcherys for some builds. Instead of making spell for more larvas. What would a new kind of defiler unit add to the game? | ||

Do you vote for maps you DON'T want to search for or do you vote for map you WANT to be searched for? *confused* | ||

I personally love watching people ignore changelings for half the game, it's hilarious. I'M IN UR BASE, SCOUTIN' UR TECH. | ||

One word for you: Corruptor. Seriously, diehilde started using that against me to counter my 3rd bases always being made with PF... 30 second shut down on a PF is kinda significant xd On March 10 2010 08:11 Rice wrote: im a zerg player, one thing ive found quite annoying is the fact that if the enemy goes air, I basically have to go air as well because of how immobile hydralisk armies are, anyone else having similar issues? Can't you just keep your full hydra army inside a nydus network and pop them out wherever they are needed? | ||

Is anyone else just getting bored with SC2 and maybe getting the feeling the game is actually just really not that good? Where is the map control or the variety in strategy in this game. I'm struggling to pick my words exactly because my feeling on the game changes slightly from day to day.. I feel like the early game is a just bunch of guesswork, scouting too early puts you behind and scouting too late means you see nothing(Match up dependent but still). There isn't any low econ play that I've seen really work outside of Roach rushes on day 1 which seem largely irrelevant now, but there isnt much macro play either! There just isn't any variety. I was watching FrozenArbiter's reps TvZ where he goes "mech" and all I could think was "There isnt anything special about these units." They are simply just different than the other units but the same. It's exactly how units in command and conquer games feel(To me). Sure there are some armor types in SC2 to encourage counters just like in bw but really its just about spending your money on SOMETHING and moving it around. bw had a much more distinct version of offense/defense than that. The defender is heavily favored at certain points and certain situations but there is almost always an opening that can work vs various defense ideas. Mirror matches are worse somehow. Maybe PvP can be fixed but ZvZ looks to always be a pretty linear affair of constant roach production and then expanding or attempting to stop the expand. The entire Zerg race just seems lacking in character. Banelings are cool and so are infestors but there isn't much unit synergy outside of combining infestor + melee or whatever. Hydra/Broodlord seems strong but its quite economy intensive and I don't really see how in situations where economy is similar its overpowered or even all that great if they have the right units. Zerg economy is now much more like the other races and spine colonies suck so there is no reason to turtle early on anymore ok so with all the things I've said then we come to how games play out.. They are simple straight forward affairs. I've seen a couple good games in reps and had some fun ones but even the 40 minute matches where the map is 80% mined out don't offer much in terms of style variety. Even countering into someones main seems weak now due to how easy it is for the opponent to control 100 units at once.. I just don't know yall. I've spent the last 10 years playing bw, from casually playing ffa with friends to Game-i early in the morning during the free hours to neo gamei, pgt, iccup. In fact only in 09 did I really stop playing the game on a weekly or so basis and I still made a couple C range iccup accounts(Dont worry im hella better than that tho)... Ive played about 200 games of SC2 and I'm already having my doubts about the future of it. : [ | ||

Ive played about 200 games of SC2 and I'm already having my doubts about the future of it. : If someone who had played 200 games of SC1 came in here and posted the same thing, but about SC1, how much credit would you give him? I'm not saying I necessarily disagree, but I think the game needs to be given time. These "standard" situations where one player is heavily favoured at certain points "just because that's how TvP plays" haven't had time to develop yet. | ||

I haven't played sc in many years and to me sc2 looks amazing. | ||

I think SC2 has a good chance at keeping up with the competitive demands. It is just beta and its already this decent? But I am not at all surprised since this is Blizzard and they do not like to half ass anything even their betas. I think a lot of the strategy right now is very up in the air and very different from the standard game play that sc1 normally had for early game, thus a lot of the games now a days are still ending in early-mid game which just tells me that adequate counters just have not been found. I have found that a lot of this game still revolves around scouting. Knowing when a terran is sending drop ships full of hellions or whether a toss decides to toss up a stargate instead of a robo can completely change the direction of a game. I have been playing around with different things against different races and most the time people do not respond or they just get caught off guard. I get caught off guard with new builds as well, I remember the first time i experienced hellion drop on my probes in PvT, or when i got 3 warp gate rushed in PvP. These builds work and since htey do people are going to be using them over and over again but I think eventually someone will come a long and concieve a counter for it, as impossible as most people believe this is starcraft where miracles happen XD. | ||

The SC2 beta is not even one month old, and you are all complaining about it like it's the final game and like it's been out for 2 years. It will take time before players start exploiting SC2 has its full potential. It will also take time before actual strategies start to exist. Nobody can feel like they've been through a whole beta within only one month. edit : It is also fairly ridiculous to complain about SC2's graphics, the game is absolutely magnificent. | ||

Make Queen taller, give her cliff walk ability. Don't make her colossus big though. I guess this wouldnt change gameplay at all, why should it, i just think cliff walking queen would be awesome! | ||

Do you vote for maps you DON'T want to search for or do you vote for map you WANT to be searched for? *confused* You pick maps that you don't want to play on, but there's still a chance that you'll get them. I believe if there aren't enough people around your rating trying to queue for games, this will happen. | ||
