Q: What is this thread?
A: General purpose, SC2 discussion thread.
Q: What should I be posting about?
A: Basically, anything you want to talk about but aren't sure if it warrants a topic of its own. Heard a rumour you want to share? A new video? A question you are sure is super common but can't find the answer to via searching? A brilliant new idea that you want to vet, to make sure it's really as brilliant as you think it is?
This is the place.
Note:
Posting standards will not be as high as if you were to make a new thread, but pointless spam will still not be tolerated. I have seen threads like these work out alright on other sites (for other games) so I figured, why not give it a shot? It's possible there's not really enough content for something like this to exist at this point in time, but no harm then, it will just die on its own.

What I'm wondering and maybe some other informative TL user can explain me why there isn't any weekly maintenance like WoW. Don't get me wrong I like it if there are no long weekly scheduled maintenances like WoW has :p but I'd expect the same thing with sc2 or is it simply due to the fact that there isn't a huge playerbase yet?
Or is there a weekly schedule for maintenance's like wow on wednesday (for Europeans) and the week isn't over yet ? 
Just wondering about it :D

Sc2 with it's battle.net 2.0 is a whole different server system. I'd say there are a lot of servers in which each work with the games, chat, etc. and in WoW there is one server for each realm, and it has to get updated and get cleaned of stuff, so there are no lags. Maybe Blizzard can "clean" the sc2 servers on the fly, which couldn't be possible for the WoW server.

I think Zerg MBS should be fixed for balance. Right now if you select 2 hatcheries or 2 evo chambers it does not properly divide the upgrades or the queen production between the two.

Anyone know if there will be a way to customize hotkeys for the races? I like the whole one hand thing, but it would be nice for some customization...

Hmm, weird, I think 1v1 placement might take into account your other leagues. Example:
![[image loading]](http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad120/Chriamon/Screenshot2010-08-0212_39_14.jpg)
I just played this guy. And he was actually pretty decent, I assumed he was high plat/low diamond in 1v1 during the game.
Anybody else experienced anything like this? or was this just a fluke? (lol I got +2 for beating him)

I know what you are saying, but I don't know if I agree. Its not hard to just queue upgrades for each individually. Even if Blizz does want to change this, it definitely shouldn't be a top priority. How often do you want to research 2 things at once and you don't have enough time to click on a different hatchery before selecting the second upgrade. Not very often I'd wager.
Now I DEFINITELY agree with this. Not having played the campaign, I might be ignorant of this, but do you really need F2-F7 for heroes? Hell, Do you even need any F keys for heroes? Who the hell plays maps with heroes in them, and even knows about the hero hotkeys, much less uses them.

thing is, if they want to keep those for heroes, just free them up for multiplayer. ez game : ) I hope all TL members who own SC2 post their support for this as there really are zero negative effects of having this happen.

Posted as well. Since there are no heroes in multiplayer, and very few in single player (you have hero units in what, 1/8th of the missions?), they should just make it an option in the editor for when people make custom games.
Or just let people freely edit their keys....

It's clearly a carry-over from WC3. Hero's were the single most important aspect of any multiplayer game, so it made total sense to have these hot-keyed to F keys. But I would agree that there is no reason to use these keys for heros in SC2. Why Blizzard cannot just give us a built-in hot key editing system I will never know. $100 million in development, and I can't change hotkeys.
There seem to be alot of these issues with SC2 though. Has anyone else had issue with the text in Bnet chat menus? I play on a laptop with a smaller screen so it would be really nice to be able to make this larger...

I really dislike Ghosts in SC2 (because I'm a protoss player obv) and I know a lot of people share my opinion that they are OP. I had an idea that EMP should not deal "damage" to the shields but rather just "change" the value to 0. This is a very soft nerf and it would still make EMP a great skill. Does any1 agree with me?
I'm unsure about the galaxy editor terminology but in wc3 the difference would be Damage/HP removal I think..
If that is the way it works right now... then I'm stupid ^_^

Just wondering, is it possible to start ladder from the very bottom without losing matches on purpose?
I'm not the best player out there, didn't play Beta, and on SC1 I never played online but I am familiar with the game and most of it's mechanics. I just beat the single player campaign, and now been playing against the Hard AI to practice my timing and such.
So yeah, I haven't even played a single B.net game in the fear of either being insanely owned, or being placed too high in the leagues based on few games and then just losing all the games from there on. I'd rather work my way up from the bottom and feel some sort of sense of achievement when going up in the ranks :D
And another thing..if I were to start on B.net now, about what rank (bronze-silver-gold etc.) equals to Hard AI difficulty? Impossible to say without generalizing a lot, but a rough estimate would be nice :p I can beat the AI most of the time and am still learning..

This may sound like a stupid question but how do I play free for all? On the multiplayer quick match screen all I have is options for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4?
|
What does the reduce lag option do? Is it better for my play if i leave it on?
|
As a silver player, rank 30 or so, I'd say that Hard AI is around top 20 bronze, Very Hard AI would be top 20 silver.

anybody from NA that bought SEA version? just wanted to know how it is.. i mean is it tooo laggy? i want to know based on somebody's experience how it was.. im currently here in CA using comcast.. please somebody let me know cause i really need to check if i need to get SEA or NA versions. thanks much in advance

I would say gold/platinum would be hard AI difficulty. Battle.net is no where close to iccup. If you decided build units off of more than one gateway your practically in Gold.
At the Platinum level, people have a shaky grasp of the mechanics, can deal with dumb cheeses like cannon rushes. However, they can't handed tech switches as well, and don't expand as needed.
Of course, it's always fun to fail your placements. Get placed low, and ROFLstomp people 2 leagues ahead of you.
