People are automatically placed into a General chat upon launching the client. YES PLEASE Make a "Starbow" Chat and have everyone join it at startup, that would be so great. | ||

Is it just me or are lurkers so much worse vs Bio in starbow? In BW 2 Lurkers could hold a ramp for Bio and kill ever lost bio unit that charged up. But in Starbow Bio just stim and charges right up with few losses. Firebats. I think Firebats with twice as much HP than in Brood War for only 25 more minerals is to blame for some of it. They can bate out the first voly form the lurkers and it barley scratches them tank soo much of the damage. Lair build times, Starbow Lairs come out 30sec slower than BW. This was justified b/c queens can speed it up. The reality is in order to get lair on time you have to cut 3 drones now. And last overcharge on reactored Rax's lets stim timings come soo early that 3 hatch lurker just gets rolled. With all of the above I think zerg must go mass Ling bane. | ||

There's gonna be a list of public chatrooms that you can select from to join, or the ability to create create passworded private chatrooms. The developers are concentrating on getting the matchmaking service bug free before adding new features. | ||

Playing a Lurker to Defiler style in ZvT just doesn't work. | ||

Lair need to be faster. and Lurkers need a wider splash range. you can micro against lurkers with out even meaning too. Oh and I have not even started on mraders. | ||

If you wanna your lair faster chrono it. If you change the constuction time of the lair to make it faster you will make 2 base muta with chronos so Op. There are new mechaniks for Zerg and we need to get used to them. Zerg i think right now is the hardest race because of the decision making of the queens new abilities. Srry for my newbie English. | ||

I agree to this, also, generally Starbow is still new, everything is different, Lurkers have more HP, Firebats have more HP, Timings are similar but still a bit different, such drastic measures like widening the splash range seems like its too much(unless there actually is a bug, I dont see that many mutas atm anyways, everyone starts with mutas atm). Also, Lurkers seem to be able to prevent army movement pretty well in my Games, lol. 6 Supply of Lurkers keep more than 20 Supply of Bio at bay (or kill them if the Terran is impatient).

Lair Build times was extended by 30 seconds. And any Zerg with half a brain already "chronos" it. What the "crono" really did is make 3 hatch muta spend 150 minerals extra to get a lair on time. So, if we already are "chronosing" the lair, what is the point of telling us too? The Ladder is just no fun when all you can do ZvT is mass ling baneling vs bio | ||

I mean for all i know you could be 100% right, but it would be nice if you back it up with something^^ | ||

The Ladder is just no fun when all you can do ZvT is mass ling baneling vs bio I do not like your quality of posts. All your posts so far in this thread has been whining about how up zerg is in every mu and you bring nothing but anecdotal evidence. and I havent had a single game yet where z positioned properly 2-3 lurkers on the ramp and I could simply "run up" how you suggest it without taking massive losses. send me pls a replay where this happens. | ||

3 Lurkers vs 2 Firebats, 12 Marines, 2 Medics. Stim and range researched. No micro besides sending the Firebats up first. Lurkers are too weak. | ||

Not sure about "giving it some time", Lurkers aren't magically going to become more effective overnight. They've mentioned they're going to make some changes to the Baneling, but with that then I really think they should take at look a the Lurker too. It just doesn't do its job very well. | ||

Of course they aren't. But you can't expect everything to work exactly like Brood War either. Players are still playing Starbow like Brood War, give them more time to play and experiment | ||
