Hey i have been wondering this for a while...
if you have any buffing abilities (ie. transfusion with queen, don't know any others) how do u use it efficiently? because you can't just use it on the RED icon that's about to die. you have to manually search through the main screen for the dead unit (its too late). also if anyone knows any other buffing abilities please enlighten me from my ignorance. I believe that holding down ALT will show the health bars so you can find the damaged ones more quickly.
Actually, it is best to have health bars turned on 100% of the time. This can be done in the options menu.

so I was wondering, I have the zealot icon thing, but Ive seen people whith 800+ posts with a probe still, how does it work? Its not a big deal, just kind of confusing.
Forum icons are determined by a combination of posts and join date. The exact formula is a well kept secret by the TL mods. It is fairly easy to figure out though if you spent some time trying. There is one user who's profile has all the info you need, but if I told you the monkeys would come and kill us all.

I don't understand why i have to do this to use a technique that was present in previous blizzard games...
Why can't Blizzard include the function of using the icons down the bottom? They had the function in Warcraft III of using abilities on your own units where you just click on the unit's icon to do an ability on that unit eg. heal. if you had multiple queens in one control group and want to heal them properly you have to use the main screen... it doesn't make much sense to me that they got rid of a useful function.
If this function were used, the zerg technique with all queens and hatcheries in one control group could work. Instead of using the ability on the minimap you could just inject each hatchery's icon, and the nearest queen with energy should inject that hatchery.
This would also be beneficial to any lategame queens and ultralisks, as it will be easier to heal the right units.
How can i personally inform blizzard of this deficiency? i would really like to know... just so i don't get banned or something, i really do like starcraft and want to keep playing.
And if it proves too beneficial to the zerg, perhaps they need some buffing abilities for other races.

Maybe some protoss player can answer this... when facing such a marauder heavy force with colossi why do protoss players never use warp prisms to keep their colossi from being sniped? It's not like the Terran player is in a good position to pick off the warp prisms if his vikings are down (which seems to be common in the case of a player like select).
Maybe it's just me since i'm bronze but every time i use a warp prism, they get shot down so fast. It wouldn't seem like a good idea to bring a warp prism with paper plating to a battle but if the terran's army is ONLY marauder (why would there only be marauders? don't they usually mix in marines too? and stim.. o.o) then it would be pretty awesome to see a warp prism saving a colossus! Maybe what i'm saying is nub material since i'm in bronze...^^

i am so fucking SICK and TIRED of playing blind against terran
should i fucking down LT?

I remember that there was a video on youtube that talked about all the seeding and ranking rules and such for upcoming pro-tournaments such as GSL, but I can't find the link to that no matter how hard I search for it. Does anybody know which video I'm talking about, and what the link for that is, or at least know where to look for the information I'm seeking?

This was possible in the first month or 2 of beta, but they removed it from the game because it defeated the purpose of the macro mechanics, which is to force you to go back to your base and take your attention away from your army.

When was the maintenance notice of tuesdat (they mispelled tuesday) posted?

OK really I didn't find "Blizzard patch suggestion topic" but anyways:
You know when you have loads of replays like from tournament or stuff...it's all in loads of subfolders. You run the replay you want and you watch it, when it's over you exit the replay. But Battle.Net 2.0 puts you in position to again go trough all of the subfolders and find the subfolder you were in (basically if you have BO3 game you want to watch it all three and all three are in same subfolder). They should really fix Battle.Net 2.0 to make you stay in subfolder you were previously in.
EDIT:
Also enable CTRL+A to select all of the text when renaming replay and don't let replay rename itself while saving and entering new subfolder.

For the same reasons non-pros play with graphics on low. Specifics will vary, but in general they do it to minimize risk of machine lag while maximizing visual clarity and frames per second.

Is it just me or there is bug at the end of the match when there is report of the game? I razed like 100 buildings and it says 0 razed buildings and destroyed more units then 100 and it says about that size equal to my opponent...

Can anyone help me please? I'm too getting a new mouse as soon as my SC2 copy arrives, I'm currently using a generic USB Logitech black mouse (chunky as hell).
So well, my hand is 6.7inches long (pretty small hands, I'm 5'7''), and don't really have the option to try every gaming mouse I could, here in Peru there's only one place for decent PC hardware and mice aren't the biggest concern.
I'd really appreciate some help here!

Here's a question thats been bothering me.
I have massive trouble sidescrolling on my big widescreen monitor playing on it's maxium resolution. I've recently turned off scaling, and turned the resolution down, so in effect my SC2 now has a much more "Broodwar/Wc3" mouse feel to it. I find it's much easy to scroll around, even though I have reduced vision.
Does anyone else do this? Or is it simply the fact I should be using mouse 3 to scroll? Or just have much higher sensitivty/DPI? Is there anything massively wrong with me doing that, or could it simply be my preference?
I believe I saw HuK doing something similar at MLG, he had bars down the side of his widescreen monitor.

Razer mouses and mousepads are a good choice, designed specifically for gamers. They can be purchased online and sent right to your door.

Am I the only one who feels like 1500 is the new 500?
With the scores being run up so fast (MVP @ 2600~) I feel like being at 1500 isn't as great as it used to be...

@Silverpotato: Yeah, you should not look at the actual rating, but the highest rating atm minus 500 i would say. Or even less. It´s just how the rating system works, it wants to make you feel good when you hit a ranking which a pro had a few weeks before.
I got a question for you guys.
I didnt find any FAQs about it, im sorry i think its common knowledge but could someone plz explain to me the Race+Number thing in a Tournament / League matchup like in the gsl 1+2. What i mean is, Player A Vs B. Player A is red coloured as T3 and Player B is blue colored as Z12.
I thought that it means: Red is favored, and the Z12 means the 12th best Zerg by tournament estimation?!
I get the raw meaning, but not exactly on what its based. Could someone tell me the exact meaning behind all that stuff ?!
Is it a fixed value, or does it evolve as the tournament goes on?!

Couldn't find the answer for this q and I don't think it warrants its own thread so here it goes:
Can you still run into someone, that you ignored, on the ladder?
Thanks!

the number is in reference to the players position on the map..
T12 = terran twelve oclock
Z3 = zerg three oclock position
P6 = protoss 6 oclock position
and so on

Ah! thank you - sir!
But red is favored over blue, right? Or is it totally random / b/c of tournament brackets ?!

Well i dont know for sure, but this wouldnt make any sense. The ignore is just for the written stuff. You could "just" ignore the top 3 of all leagues and would have an easy time playing only the weaker people.

Ye, I know that's why I asked cos, on a stream, I've seen the guy just ignoring all the guys he lost against. I was curious if there was a silly way to abuse the system like that.
