Sure, if you played lots of Brood War this isn't the case, as you're used to it. A sweeping majority of people who will ever buy Starcraft II have not touched Brood War. I'm hoping that by default its a move command, and that you can a+ rally. well it's actually wrong, it's alot more noob friendly when you are under attack, and noob-equal when you aren't and less noob friendly if you are rallying WAAAAAAY off in places you shouldnt be. | ||

Check out the beast thing with the psionic energy Panda, Priestress and Dustin Browder as Avas wtf? In the first bunch the second from the left in the lowest line looks like Browder imo :p I really like the rally point change I have to say. | ||

So if the overseer has mind control the infestor has the 2 main spells of Fungal Growth and infested Terran and then with the overseer and mind control you can only move the unit to X range and when it reaches the max range you then have to move the overseer with the unit. What do you guys think? makes the infestor kinda crap and the overseer super imba. i think people look too much into the unit names. | ||

I'd say yes mainly because it will require you to look at your minimap alot more than youre going to be preventing suiciding units. I can super duper insanely guarantee you that noobs and probably people gold or below will either stop rallying out of their base or constantly lose units due to it. | ||

Very good catch by PrinceXizor, maybe they actually listened to the community. Why the hell would they say that they want SC2 to be more friendly to events and users and TAKE OUT the LAN option. That's the most bass-ackwards thinking ever. | ||

Wait, what is this? How do they validate the offline service? Is there a key given to you or something? | ||

I've never rallied out of my base, it's easier to go back and tell my units what to do directly than to rally them and have then get sent to no where because of a scouting probe. | ||

Hm, that's an interesting way to look at it - I initially assumed it was because they considered the map editor less important so it didn't matter as much if the auth for that was cracked. | ||

Thats may be because you were a good brood war player and got used to that mentality. I was only ever c- in Brood war and Move Rally was annoying as hell it was very hard for me to micro since my micro was not 150+ apm . In SC2 I rally outside my base quite often, especially when I'm attacking , it was alot easier with Attack Move and I've always been a top Platinum/Diamond player in SC2. This change will no doubt make it harder for me, but I think it helps the game overall and so I like it.

I think this is the most likely case. The map editor will probably be cracked in like 2 seconds. | ||

What do you guys think? So you're saying that there would be like 25 units with the ability to use Mind Control on the Zerg's side late game. And they would be flying. And ridiculously fast. And they act as transport. And they're Detectors. etc etc. Oh, and FINALLY, A PATCH!!!!! BETA IS BACK, BABY!!!! (tomorrow) | ||

(as well as Age of mythology Titans back in the day.) But yeah this chance makes it easier for me. | ||
