does anyone know why all the koreans drink so strange out of their water/juicebottels...while i don t want to be rude i have to admit that they look like fucking retards when they drink.....whats up with that strange behavior? (sry but retarded is the word that describes it best, im not trying to be offensive)

First i thought it is maybe because they disgust each other, but then i noticed they also do it when they have a bottle on their own, or a new bottle..i have seen this from a lot of koreans, basicly i have never seen one of them simple drink out of a bottle like normal.

I won a ladder game and then my whole game got corrupted after the guy said he hacked me. Does anyone know of any exploits in the game that would allow someone to do this or is this just a coincidence like i think it is? Pm me if you have any clue as to what is going on

I believe it's not considering there's no mention of it on battle.net, and no threads about it on TL.

So, I just had an idea about the warhound that I wanted to share for the heck of it. I've seen several complaints, most of which I agree with, that the warhound is a boring unit that makes the siege tank a bit redundant and serves a very similar role to a marauder in that it just walks around and shoots stuff. I've also seen it argued very effectively that the warhound doesn't really bring out the best that mech has to offer (Falling's thread "In Defense of Mech" is largely about this).

So today while I was watching MLG I thought, what if they changed the warhound's heywire missile to a spell that costs energy, not sure how much, and that doesn't trigger automatically. What would happen? Could that make a difference? Players might have to save up for bursts of heywire missiles.

And then I figured, well but that still doesn't really make the warhound a good companion for the siege tank, because you could still just get a ton of warhounds and blast the protoss with heywire missiles. But then, high templar could feedback the warhounds. And maybe if they got rid of the warhound's standard attack and made it just a spellcaster, or just kept the standard attack something like the viking or goliath ground attack, that would be good. Siege tanks could clean up a smaller softened Protoss army, or act as a deterrent to that smaller softened Protoss army even if they don't actually do much shooting. The warhounds would then act as the "cannon fodder" that Falling talks about in his post.

Alright, when the new season actually starts?
Its like we got almost 3 month season now.
In game it says, that season ends 1.09, but today is already 28(27) of august and there's literally no info on battle.net and no season lock.
And do metropolis come back in new season? miss it

or maybe some new maps like atlantis? hope it will be there)

So no one knows why the battle.net is bugging like a lot right now? or why some of us gets the "ERROR" message.

Hey there, I lurk a lot and was looking for a thread on HotS to comment on some ideas but couldn't find one. I hope this is the right place.

I had an idea regarding the proposed Ultralisk changes in the multiplayer. Now, of course we haven't as a community had a chance to play the game yet, but as I understand things the burrow-charge ability is being considered as a means of allowing Ultralisks to close in on kiting units (esp: Terran). As an added effect, it disrupts positioning and randomly moves the units it erupts under within a certain radius of the eruption point. The last part of the ability I think is potentially problematic, but I'm going to ignore it as no one has really had a chance to play it yet.

If the problem is that the Ultralisk has issues with pathing and being able to close on units wouldn't a simpler solution be to alter the pathing of the Ultralisk in a manner similar to the way the Colossus is able to move over units? If the Ultralisk were able to walk over/through units such as Zerglings/Banelings and possibly Roaches and Hydras it would allow the unit not to get stuck on smaller units, fit better with it being as massive as it is supposed to be, and it would still be able to hit given it has a range of 1 so that it can attack over other melee units. It wouldn't entirely solve the issue of kiting but it would help the Ultralisk gain positioning on armies if the Zerglings/Banelings were able to swarm over their feet and not block the Ultralisk or vice-versa.

I'd like to get some thoughts on this, especially if it's been proposed before, or to have it moved to its own topic if it warrants.

I like this idea. I mean in honesty I liked the burrow thing but I have only had the chance to play around with it once and that was when I got to play the beta at Anaheim, but I like the idea of being able to move over units if you will. I might even make for more epic moments of ultra flanking and what not.

Something just jumped my mind,

Ghost Snipe was nerfed way to hard because it countered both T3 options Zerg has.

High Templar Feedback/Storm counters both T3 options as well as T1 options from Terran.

How would TvP lategame look with Feedback not working vs Massive?

The chance that feedback would be removed from High Templar is very low. If they did that, they would have to give High Templar storm by default, and IMO, that is more better in all matchups late game, especially with a colossus. Protoss splash damage is just too good right now.

I want to share my sadness. I can't really play SC2 anymore. For some reason, I have started to get lower and lower FPS. When I bought SC2 a few months ago it ran fine on the same computer, right now, on the lowest settings and lowest resolution, I consistently get 1 FPS in the late game. If I aim a fungal, the army isn't there anymore when it hits. If I select my hatches, it sometimes takes a full second before I can select larvae. All I can do in late game is a-move and pray. I don't like cheesing or rushing, I want to learn the game and become good, but I can't. I keep laddering because sometimes it's tolerable, but then the lag hits and I lose. There must be some hardware fault since I've tried everything in the book, cleaning up the startup, closing all other programs while playing, defragmenting, virus scanning, even reinstalling the game. The battle.net support has answered with a few more tips but nothing has helped. I'm waiting for more replies from them but I think that my graphics card is simply broken. And I can't afford a new computer or a new graphics card.

I'm not asking for help here, I am in contact with the support. Just want to rant and be sad because I can't play my favourite game

It would be kinda funny if for no apparent reason ultralisks were given energy to cast their charge in hots, subsequently nerfing them out of existence in ZvP.
