Post #19 should come first. Some mistakes due to the limit on images caused the confusion.
Protoss: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A few fans speculated that these units render are just a placeholder while Blizzard sorts out the balancing issue. However, considering the fact that they have just released a video of death animations, in particular the one with the Carrier exploding, do you think that Blizzard will still have the time & resource to switch the models around? Discuss. P/S: Double post due to the limit on the number of images allowed per post. This post has been edited by talexeh: Jun 2 2009, 08:17 PM |

To spice things up for this new thread, allow me to copy-pasta a topic that is currently being hotly debated in the SCII community: poor design on Protoss air units.
Die-hard fans are complaining that the number of polygons for Protoss air units are a far cry compared to those of Terran & Zerg. What do you guys think? Attached below are detailed pictures of the units & I must say, the comparison they made between the new Carrier & another object is a big shock.

I think,it's just the art isnt polished yet and constantly changing.
There are still changes to Zerg and Terran units,even till now.Like Thor just got back it's shoulder cannons. |

Activision Blizzard's E3 Conference:
http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6210427/starc...stories;story;1 For those with the tl;dr symptom, here's the important part: QUOTE [6:53] And now a bit about Starcraft II... [6:54] The new Battle.net service will launch alongside Starcraft II, which represents a return to the company's roots. [6:54] Morhaime talks about the series' well documented popularity in South Korea, where he says it is akin to a national sport. Blizzard is targetting an end-of-the-year release for Starcraft II. [6:55] There will be a Starcraft II beta test later this summer, and Morhaime offers to get anyone in attendance into the program. Morhaime expects to launch Starcraft II by the end of the year, though he also notes that it will only ship once the game is done. [6:56] Morhaime says that more about the games will be revealed at BlizzCon and encourages everyone to attend the August show, which sold out yesterday. [6:56] Morhaime closes with a cinematic cutscene video from Starcraft II's single-player campaign. [6:57] "The Zerg swarm came as was foretold, and the Protoss, first born of the gods, rose to fight them." [6:58] Now comes a third group, "But do they come to save? Or destroy?" [6:59] When the trailer ends, Activision Blizzard chief financial officer Thomas Tippl takes the stage. This post has been edited by talexeh: Jun 3 2009, 03:21 AM |

Ohh yeah that was their concept and the used that into wow hmm 4 other races ehh so it was supposed to be dwafts, humans, elves, and burning legion and undead too?
They completely changed the story since then too. I wonder if it will be the same for SC2, kinda made me think of WiC for what they are proposing RPS lol. |

Hey, I just get an update and being told that the Starcraft II release date will be end of year 2009 if there's no problem comes in way during this period.
You can see the release date at StarCraft II - Wikipedia. And that information is taken from these 2 sites. "StarCraft 2 Planned for Release This Year". Shacknews. "Starcraft II by end of 2009, Call of Duty expanding to new genres". Gamespot. However, this is the expectation and there's no guarantee if it will be earlier or later. Please take this information at your own risk. |

Battlenet 2.0 will be free.
 QUOTE("Karune @ 06/04/2009 03:08:16 PM PDT") When a player buys the StarCraft II box at retail, they will have the ability to play on the new Battle.net for free. For those listening to the latest Activision Blizzard conference call, Mike Morhaime also mentions it there as well. Source |

That was the speculation of people when Blizzard spoke about Battle.net 2.0 and about monetising certain things. Blizzard has explained that they will never make the core service a subscription. No need to worry. This is old news btw.

In case some people interested in this:
QUOTE StarCraft II Q&A Batch 52 : Map Maker Series 1. Does it still use the JASS language, or perhaps an upgraded version of JASS? StarCraft II uses an entirely new scripting language, which we’ve called Galaxy. This language is very similar to C, and anyone familiar with programming in C will have no trouble picking it up. 2. Is the language event-driven or object-oriented? The language itself is not object-oriented, although most of the native functionality is based around operating on game objects. 3. In comparison to the Warcraft III Editor, how much more, if any, can the GUI of the game be edited (it was extremely limited in Warcraft III)? The in-game UI layout is externalized in data files to a large extent, however there is no editor support for working with these files. So it will be possible to customize the game UI, it just won't be a user-friendly process. 4. Are there new noteworthy functionalities in the Starcraft II Editor, or will the new editor just have general improvements? I can’t think of a single editor feature from WarCraft III, large or small, which has not been improved in at least some way for StarCraft II. 5. Will the ability to communicate among triggers, for instance via actions or conditions, be improved in the new language? One significant new feature of the Trigger Editor is support for custom function definitions, including actions and conditions. This means you can create your own actions that are built up from other actions (or custom script code), then use those in triggers just as you would any other action. 6. How does "Hero" support differ from the Warcraft III Editor? Or is it practically identical? We’ve been working hard to create a hero system that is even more flexible than WarCraft III’s. For example, map makers will have the ability to define any number of custom attributes that modify a hero based on its level. 7. Will there be a public API for the programming language? As with WarCraft III, there is a large set of “native” functions representing game functionality that can be accessed through scripts. If this is what you mean by “public API”, then yes. 8. Will there be improvements on the "Garbage Collector" for the new language? For example, in JASS all local variables need to be set to null at the end of their use, and certain data-types need to be removed from the game (such as Locations) at the end of their use to avoid memory leaks. Galaxy features a robust garbage collection system for all native types, which is a huge improvement over WarCraft III (which technically did not have a garbage collection system at all). The script memory leak issues from WarCraft III will be a thing of the past. ---End of Transmission--- Source : http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topic...588788&sid=3000 |

Something similar to C?!
Oh My, Blizz is so 80-90's Now that remind me too much of work to be good but it sounds like they really created something solid, it's the first time ever I read anything about a game script engine with its very own Garbage Collector (which, funnily enough, does not exist in the C language as far as I remember )This post has been edited by Gormaz: Jun 14 2009, 02:19 PM |

Basically yar, as frags explained it "just" clear up memory that is not used anymore without you (you = the programmer here) having to manually free it, which was a big pain in older languages like C.
It seems pretty "basic" like this but it's actually quite complex and absolutely vital for big programs as unused but not freed memory (ie: without a garbage collector) will lead to your game taking way more memory than it is really using and it will keep growing and growing (as non freed variables keeps piling up). That's one of the common cause of memory leak or "Out of memory" kind of error. |

Yar, but it kinda pissed me off that WoW was not considered enough... seriously... I put hundreds of USD in it, more than any normal Blizzard game... it's really weird.
Guess I will just wait for the full SC2, not too fussed about the beta, it's very unlikely you get choosen anyway, every gamer and their mothers around the world will register |

I think SC2 is going to be a failboat :-( The graphic currently looks dated, very minimal physics.
Situation very much like Kurono Torigā. Legendary classic game on a newer platform :-( |

Yeah I hope SC2 isn't a re-baked bread.
It's just my expectation. Certain current games really set the bar high for the genre. Thus on personal level I'm very critical to any current RTS. |

Hello there. I'm a time traveler from the Year 2099. We have flying cars, developed cold fushion, discovered faster-than-light travel, and built a colony on mars.
By the way, does anybody know when Starcraft 2 will be out? |

QUOTE(game.chosun.com @ Jun 24 2009, 4:29 PM) We met a Korean developer of Blizzard Entertainment’s (Shortened as Blizzard) anticipated RTS game Starcraft 2 (Shortened as Star 2). Now you know why David Kim always pwn others in all 3 Battle Reports. David Kim (Korean name Kim Tae Hyun) appeared in the 3rd battle report and showcased talent of a pro gamer to become a topic among the gaming community. He is one of the 50 core developers of ‘Star 2’. Although he won’t reveal details about ‘Star 2’, he had a light conversation with the reporter about his pride being a developer for Blizzard. Q: How did you become to work in a foreign country? A: I was born in Korea and went to college in Vancouver, Canada, majoring in computer science. I was going to work for programming for the “Company of Heroes” and “Warhammer 4000” series but then became a balance designer for Relic. What is the difference between Blizzard and Relic? For both companies excelling in making RTS games, it seems like Blizzard concerns more for the eSports side while Relic concerns more about diverse methods of play. The companies individually, make their games fun and they are both great companies. Q: What job do you hold in Blizzard? A: I am a balance designer for ‘Star 2’. In other words, I make it so that units are needed in certain situations and also make it so that the units are used well in all games. The main goal right now is to match the unit’s characteristics to its race characteristics. Q: What do you think is Blizzard’s strengths? A: It is that anybody can express their opinion equally. Any concern, regardless of job, is discussed freely. Also, in each division there are extremely skilled people that are chosen as the leader so as the work progresses, it is arranged that there is a lot of agreement. (This was quite hard to translate, so many words I didn’t know, sorry if it’s wrong haha) Q: What game do you enjoy usually? A: My first online game is ‘World of Warcraft’. I am raising an undead mage. I am looking forward to the game ‘AION’. Q: Your ‘Star 2’ skill level? A: I am ranked 1st in the current ladder. However, when the game comes out, I will probably get owned by the gamers in Korea (laugh).  This post has been edited by talexeh: Jun 25 2009, 09:54 AM |

Hmmm, the Blizzard downloader works for me, if not mistaken where i read somewhere it purposely download slowly so that it forces everyone to contribute, rather than those with high speed connection gets it fast then close the DLer for good.

QUOTE(heaven @ Jun 25 2009, 12:47 PM) Hmmm, the Blizzard downloader works for me, if not mistaken where i read somewhere it purposely download slowly so that it forces everyone to contribute, rather than those with high speed connection gets it fast then close the DLer for good. So whats your download speed? |

Inside the Wow downloading if you go to the detailed view you will see which peers you connect with and all.
By looking at that I noticed that all my torrent connection lasted only few seconds before ending. Inside the list of the peers I was seeing one "Http download" special source. Blizz usually provide some HTTP sources that are embedded inside the torrent (like directly downloading the file from a server). I ended up downloading all my wow patches through that, which is stable but way slower than what the torrent could give me. I know for sure it's something wrong with Malaysia since I was getting pimp speed when I was still in France. I am not sure how it is with the "Blizzard Downloader" tool you guys have to use now, but I greatly doubt Blizzard created a brand new tool when they already have an existing one... I do wish good luck to people downloading something bigger than a couple of Gb with that from Malaysia... |

I'm lazy to re-upload these images on another host. Many images ahead so be prepared for long loading time.
Note the number of Broodlings swarming to Terran forces. I wonder if these Broodlings deal any damage on impact? Also present is the new Infestor model, though it looks pretty similar to Protoss's old Reaver & weird enough, on the ground instead of under. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Note the different type of Battlecruisers. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Good ol' Psi-storm remodeled. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Phoenixes anti-grav-ing Siege Tanks. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Spine Crawlers sodomising Protoss land units.

A few issues that left me either amazed or scratching my head.

When attaching, the Thor's body transforms, pulling its arms and legs inside, becoming a more cube-like shape, and attaching to the bottom of the Dropship... Sounds nice but I wonder if it'll involve any delay while transforming?QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jun 29 2009, 03:50 PM) ... When the Raven unleashes its Hunter Seeker Missile, a large missile slowly flies toward its target, with a red laser constantly pointed at the target... Why call it missile if it flies slowly?QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jun 29 2009, 03:50 PM) ... After a certain amount of time without hitting its target, the Hunter Seeker Missile will harmlessly explode wherever it is when it runs out fuel... Runs out of fuel? Fuel? What?QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jun 29 2009, 03:50 PM) ... a player may be tempted to move their Raven very close to the intended target, however, the Hunter Seeker Missile will inflict damage on friendly units as well, including the Raven, so a hasty close-ranged launch of the Hunter Seeker Missile may spell certain doom for the Raven... Terran has too many units which hit friendly units!QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jun 29 2009, 03:50 PM) ...

QUOTE(Zero @ Jun 28 2009, 10:53 PM) The first battle was a Protoss versus Protoss match, on the 2-player map: Blistering Sands. Both players had an amazing start, calling forth scores of Zealots and Stalkers to battle each other. This was the first time that I had really seen the Obelisk, formerly the Dark Pylon, being used so much. At their main bases, both players stationed an Obelisk, and would continually cast Proton Charge over their Probes, in order to allow them to carry additional resources for a short time. As the battle pressed on, Matt Cooper gained the advantage, and kept David Kim from establishing a stable expansion. After destroying the Nexus of the expansion, Cooper pressed forward with Immortals and Dark Templar in addition to his Zealots and Stalkers. Kim sent forth a Colossus in defense, but Cooper's forces stormed up the ramp into his base and overwhelmed the Colossus. Kim declared "GG" and the first match was over. NOO~ David Kim actually lost. He is human after all. |

There has been a rumour flying around that Blizzard will exclude the LAN feature in StarCraft 2. It's not confirmed but it was reported that it was due to a certain planned technology to be incorporated into the new Battle.net.
 An anti-piracy strategy? Does this mean that every single system that wish to join a LAN game would be required to log into Battle.net first? Then those with no Internet access = no player against player experience? |

I don't like the idea of frequent DLC. As you know, Blizzard has always pride themselves in making their games as perfect as possible with minimal update / patch for balancing purposes. They have even planned 2 expansions, hence they have ample of opportunities to apply whatever changes they deemed fit into StarCraft 2. With all these delays plus 2 expansions that fans need to fork out money for, the idea of frequent DLC with the excuse of combating piracy will not be welcomed with open hands by majority (or minority) of fans.

As quoted below, I guess they're trying to revolutionize the Battle.net system & I do really hope that it'll turn out to be something that will make people go WOW (not World of Warcraft ).Last but not least, about the FSMs that you mentioned there, I truly believe that DotA's popularity is part to be blamed for the existence of all these FSMs. Don't take me wrong though, I'm not saying that DotA is the root cause of piracy as I do have colleagues purchasing original copy of WarCraft 3 just to play that map in Battle.net. Pray hard. QUOTE(Gunnar Petzall @ Jun 29 2009, 05:46 AM) StarCraft II will not have a local area networking (LAN) game mode. Rob Pardo, senior VP of game design at Blizzard Entertainment confirmed in an interview with IncGamers that the StarCraft II development team "don't have any plans to support LAN," and clarified saying "we will not support it." The only multiplayer available will be on Battle.net. IncGamers also got a clarification from Blizzard, shortly after the interview, saying the choice of excluding a LAN feature "is because of the planned technology to be incorporated into Battle.net," a topic they will reveal more about at a later date. The original StarCraft gained popularity largely because of the easy LAN mode, used on massive LANs like Dreamhack or small personal networks between friends, so this is a surprising move by Blizzard. Besides the full interview, make sure to check out our massive StarCraft II preview, videos, screenshots/art and other StarCraft II news from the event or visit our StarCraft channel StarcraftWire.net for further details. |

Still,Steam isnt perfect,IMO,but i think to date,it's the best way to prevent piracy.At least zero day piracy. This post has been edited by Cheesenium: Jun 29 2009, 08:28 PM |

I don't know if this has been mentioned amidst the flurry of Battle Reports being posted and dissected by everyone here.
Or even if its old news (RPS being time warped and shit) But, apparently LAN play is tied to Battle.net which means you need to be online just to play LAN. Source: RPS That just put a HUGE dent for all cybercafe owners here. Unless of course they do something like Steam where the CD-key is tied to your Battle.net account (Which is what they did with the whole relaunch of the service earlier this year) whereby it'll be a GIGANTONOURMOUS crater for cybercafe owners. |

Problem is, they'll have a far trickier time updating the game. If it is indeed tying CD-keys to accounts (Like with L4D and Company of Heroes), that just means that its IMPOSSIBLE to play it online in a cafe and they'll probably have to crack it. I know a lot of ppl who go to cafes don't actually have their own PC... Some of them like to play online all the same. This means they probably will have to buy a copy of their own. |

While I do understand the arguments about Cybers, if I want to play devil's advocate and put myself in Blizzard shoes, I still do not see the issue with people having to buy more copied of the game, it's more money for them.
They dun have to do marketing, they don't have to beg people to buy their game, they just have to make it good and it will sells as fast as they can produce it. Sucks for cybers? Most probably Sucks for people who may have to buy their own? Most probably, but they may enjoy original game for once Sucks for Blizz?

However I think they should make steps to kill pirated servers like Gayrena or make bnet duplication much harder. When it comes to making bnet as good as steam I have strong faith in blizzard for that as bnet have a strong back bone and support. Bnet was before steam and it was much more stable than steam I do not think that in the future that it will be any less than steam. However I hope that buying games from bnet 2.0 will have to be going through blizzard's stupid torrent, I never manage to be able to get it to work I wonder why they cant do a normal torrent for it and have a DRM protection for it.Let's not forget there's the whole "OMG DRM!" backlash that is currently surging through the Internet so it could possibly impact the sales somewhat. |

Yar, after thinking more true SC1 was pretty famous for the LAN parties and it could hurt the longevity of the game in the long run.
Well, it could still change but I am sure pirate will find a way to use it in Lan so if Blizz is smart they would actually create their own support for it to make people more willing to buy original |

Well, when people refer to LAN it can also mean the ad-hoc LAN in someone's place where you just hook few computers to a switch, I did many of these during my uni times.
This kind of LAN will NOT be possible for SC2 (the link just above confirmed it). Sure you can still play in cyber since they are connected, but asking that you connect to Bnet for all LAN is kinda meh in my opinion. This post has been edited by Gormaz: Jun 30 2009, 07:21 PM |

I think it'll be best if we source our StarCraft 2 news from those dedicated fansites instead of going to those that was not invited by Blizzard to their HQ. Reason being that they often misconstrue what was being written by the invited representatives of the fansites & end up confusing lotsa people out there.
Heck, I'll even trust the trolls in Battle.net's SC2 GD forums rather than these sites that simply come up with their own interpretations. EDIT: Latest news / rumour is about Robert Clotworthy returning as Jim Raynor's voice actor... and the fans go  This post has been edited by talexeh: Jun 30 2009, 07:31 PM |

lol @ Blizz rtards trying to be greedy
They should have implemented a system like VAC (anti-cheat implementation for BNet) and f***ed off after that, let the "LAN" users get screwed badly by cheats and hacks (real LAN parties have relatively much less jackasses) As of now all someone needs to really do is figure out the BNet protocol and try to reverse-engineer most of it, and reroute the connection (hosts file) from the middle. Depends on how the game really implements it. |

if no multiplayer / LAN mode when the retail is release, then blizzard should have a big problem to handle those gamers complain about it, just like in the past when EA release Need for speed : underground, which is not included LAN/multiplayer, end up with the solution of setup another network dedicate server.

Hmm if you do LAN at your friends' places, normally he got a wireless router with TM Nut access anyways. Very cheap so no issue there.
I'm only afraid the requirements will cause us to abandon our favorite CCs. It is very easy take the high moral road and say it is the CC's fault to not have originals + internet access, no one can argue with that. It still sucks a bit I guess. |

I think LAN is still a crucial component for a game,especially FPS or RTS.
Removing it seems to be a bad idea,but,require to login to Battlenet seems much better than limited installations,call home all the time etc. |

Just that you need an internet connection. Even now if you were to initiate a match in Battle.net for Warcraft 3, if you were matched up with ppl over LAN, in essence, it becomes a LAN only game since its p2p based connections. Its common sense. All this means is that you just need to be connected to Battle.net to make that connection. Basically, this weeds out the pirates. PS.

Well there you go when you have a few people with Laptop with original SC installed you can already play SC multilayer but now you need a internet connection with SC2.QUOTE(H@H@ @ Jul 1 2009, 10:47 AM) *sigh* Not having LAN does not mean that it will weed out piracy look at all the pirated servers around that replaces the online only features...........This doesn't mean there's no LAN play AT ALL... Just that you need an internet connection. Even now if you were to initiate a match in Battle.net for Warcraft 3, if you were matched up with ppl over LAN, in essence, it becomes a LAN only game since its p2p based connections. Its common sense. All this means is that you just need to be connected to Battle.net to make that connection. Basically, this weeds out the pirates. PS. Isn't this basically the same as a "call home all the time" service? How often do we have LAN parties in Malaysia? The kind where a giant warehouse is rented and 100+ ppl attend and Internet access may be unavailable? Most LAN parties here are done in someone's house or in a cafe... Most of which come with Internet access. Added on July 1, 2009, 10:50 am Fair enough... But you have to admit that this is a fairly uncommon scenario... unlike the more common scenario of pirates playing on LAN or Hamachi. In most case senario we have LAN parties in homes that either just moved in or holiday houses that do not have internet connection so that it does not bother other family members or have too much furniture. In those cases those places do not have internet connection. In those scenario SC2 multiplayer will not be an option. It all concludes to: Blizzard excluding LAN in SC2 will just make it much more inconvenient for people who purchase SC2 to play multiplayer. Simple as that. DAMN YOU PIRATES. |

One thing that is not perfectly clear for me is:
Ok, you need to logon to Bnet to play LAN, let's live with it, let's take the case where you do have an internet connection, everyone has an original, all good. Once you start playing, are the packets going to stay on your local network or do they need to go through Bnet as well? I know that if they do go through Bnet then it's not really a LAN anymore but now I am really wondering how it will work. I do think it's high chance it's going to stay on the local network but then what exactly stop people to use the same copy and logon one at a time, then unplug the net and use the LAN. I dunno, I still find that system a hassle for legit users while I am sure the pirated version will have a way to play LAN without requiring Bnet |

You probably can't re-use the same logon on multiple clients, since you are still matched via the centralized Battlenet lobby.
However, once the game is in session packets will be local (?) |

Please do not post about private server/IP tunnellers. You know the rules here. They are irrelevant really. If you like the game buy it. It is none of our business to worry about how they are going to go about pirate it.

Non-authorized tools are against the EULA which indirectly give birth to more security features.

Anyway, flame all you want. Updates from Karune: QUOTE(n00bonicPlague @ Jun 30 2009, 05:04 PM) QUOTE I think the reasons starcraft has lasted so long as a game and community are because: 1) Well designed and fun to play game. 2) Free battle.net - Having a place where gamers can come together and play the game 24/7 helps to foster a bolster and lively community. 3) Continued support for the game even after 11 years, they still patch it when it needs a patch. 4) Pro-Starcraft gaming. This is a big deal to serious starcraft players or to anyone that enjoys competition. These games are fun to watch and makes casual players want to play the game. 5) Lan support. - Lan parties are fun. If you take away LAN support you will still have the 4 other pillars for a strong starcraft community. Plus if LAN support helps rid battle.net of hackers, cheaters and piracy because the network traffic is harder to decipher then all the better. That only strengthens the spirit of fair competition on battle.net. The first 4 pillars are ALL being made better. 1) Development time for StarCraft II have far exceeded the original StarCraft in both the standard of quality and duration, to ensure the highest in quality RTS experience we can possibly create. 2) Not only is it free to play online for people who purchase the game, Battle.net 2.0 is designed with the new generation of online community and eSports in mind. 3) As long as there are people playing our games, we will continue to support them, and we have continued with this tradition with our legacy titles like the original StarCraft. 4) StarCraft II was created with eSports as a cornerstone in design philosophy. StarCraft evolved into an eSport. 5) Map Editor will be better than any we have ever released. and: 6) ??? - will have to wait and see For me personally- I loved LAN parties, but the direction in which Battle.net is headed, I would always choose to play on Battle.net > 99% of the time and even if for whatever reason I did decide to lug my computer to a friend's house in this day of age (<1%), I would still be playing with them on Battle.net against others at their place. QUOTE That's his point. Even if you do lug your "beast" around, he is saying that battle.net will clearly have better abilities than regular LAN. I for one have full faith in Blizzard, and though I do disagree with taking LAN out as a whole, I do feel that in the end whatever they provide as an alternative will not only suffice, but make things all the better. Ye of little faith shall perish. As mentioned by Rob Pardo in interviews, piracy is a serious problem and often times tie in closely with LAN. At the end of the day, we want the best for the community and fans that support our games, and having chunk of the community pirate the game actually hurts the community. 1) Pirated servers splinter the community instead of consolidating all players who love to play the game. Battle.net will bring players together in skirmishes, ladder play, custom games, and allow everyone the opportunity to share a common experience. 2) More people on Battle.net means more even more resources devoted to evolving this online platform to cater to further community building and new ways to enjoy the game online. World of Warcraft is a great example of a game that has evolved beyond anyone's imagination since their Day 1 and will continue to do so to better the player experience for as long as players support the title. The original StarCraft is an even better example of how 11 years later, players still love and play this title, and we will continue to support and evolve it with patches. We would not take out LAN if we did not feel we could offer players something better. If I were to buy StarCraft II or any other title, I know the money I spent would be going to supporting that title. Personally, I would be upset that others were freeloading while others are legitimately supporting a title that has great potential and goals of making this title have 'long legs.' If you like a song a lot, buy it, and that artist will only come out with more awesome songs for you. If you like a game, buy it, and we will promise to constantly work to make the player experience better at every corner we can. Support the causes you believe in (This is applicable to all things, not just gaming). Don't be a leech to society, innovation, and further awesome creations. QUOTE A question I feel is really pressing, requiring Internet to play over LAN means one more thing for people to maintain at large gatherings. What happens if the Internet goes out at a SC2 LAN tournament? A Proleague game? Dreamhack is often referenced as the largest LAN party in the world... but in today's age, that LAN is also connected to the internet. I definitely hear your concern about the internet going out, which would be a huge, huge bummer! But as equally as unlikely, the power could go out... QUOTE Karune, what about latency issues involved in online play. ICCUP in Starcraft and LC games in Warcraft 3 are all attempts to reduce Battlenet lag. What is Blizzard doing to combat this lag if they are removing LAN play? This is definitely a legitimate concern that would be best to be brought up again if needed when we talk about Battle.net 2.0. QUOTE Oh, Karune, you know as well as I do that anti-piracy and LAN are not mutually exclusive. Step 1: Connect to Battle.Net Step 2: Authentication Step 3: Access LAN games thereafter There you go. Authenticated LAN play. Low latency. LAN parties. Happy customers. I will be sure to forward ideas in regards to LAN as described. I too have many fond memories of LAN parties. QUOTE You forget that as a Blizzard employee, his internet doesn't work by the conventional scientific means. Indeed, it would be best if we were to use the analogy of magic to explain how it is that Blizzard accesses the internet. See, it's magic, it never fails. He has no clue what you're talking about. Looks like the trolls are back. Hope I was able to address some of the LAN concerns. Honestly, there isn't much more to be said until we start talking about Battle.net 2.0, so if there are other threads about the recent Battle Report or press visit, going to divert some attention over there. |

For those who are really miffed about this LAN-less Starcraft, be a man, stand up to it, don't buy Starcraft 2. Do not buy something that you dislike, or does not suit your requirements.

frags, bear with me for a minute, k?
Guys, you make it sound as though Battle.net emulators will emerge THE MOMENT the game is released. How long did it take for these Battle.net emulators for both Starcraft and Warcraft 3 to emerge? A year? 2 years? Even then they're pretty much dead useless (Its workable on Warcraft 3 because of DotA, which isn't natively supported by Battle.net, so obviously there'll be a following) The reason I'm saying this is not to say "frags is wrong, you guys can talk about warez servers freely now!" but more of the pirates aren't going to win so easily this time like with other games. So... Don't simply assume that because of this move by Blizzard, automatically the pirates win and the owners lose out... because on release, I highly doubt Battle.net will be cracked so soon. Therefore no more talk on these servers as though they're going to come about so soon. Also, nobody has really given me any really solid proof as to why "Offline LAN = bad". Those scenarios that happens once in a blue moon don't really count. This post has been edited by H@H@: Jul 2 2009, 12:07 AM |

yeah...maybe my point was a lil confusing. lol...
okay, i will state one. i come from stone age of streamyx and that time we do not need routers. so i dont wanna buy one just for "online activated lan" for one game. LAN option for blizzard is a very simple thing i believe. so without it, me and my stone-age friends would not be able to enjoy the game in simplest way. plus nowadays economy really not that good, so a Rm100 router is out of the question, not forgetting that SC2 comes in 3 parts. think also cold sweat come out already. |

Im not surprised that people will complain because they have to login to Battlenet just o play offline LAN.I might as well wait for the full game comes out,and see how is it. At least Blizzard give you a LAN mode.Games like Prostreet,Burnout or Undercover have no LAN at all. Still,these days,i dont even use LAN for the games i play.There isnt any use now. |

Anyone here from east malaysia? i would like to know where can i buy an original copy of the game when it is released. Is it possible to get it in Kuching and Miri? Cause last time i went to kuching i can only found blizzard's games like WOW & W3 at The Spring. Other games like D2 & Starcraft are nowhere to be found. Can someone tell me whether there is a place to buy those games in Kuching and Miri?

I meant to say uncommon scenarios, so my apologies for using the wrong phrase (My excuse is, I was really tired last night... Like REALLY).Frankly, LAN stopped being relevant awhile back. Conversely, IP tunnelers have been on the rise instead. So, I kinda understand Blizzard's stance on this. They probably weighed the pros and cons off ruling out said "uncommon scenarios" in order to prevent these IP tunneling and LAN party pirates. I guess the pros outweighed the cons... Or Blizzard are just dicks and want to make us suffer through the Internet. Now, the only reason for concern over this issue would be if they make it so that making custom games over Battle.net a total pain in the ass. |

If I were still in Malaysia (hello Shitmyx!) I would be slgithy unhappy about the Bnet-is-a-must thinggy since the internet is so crap.
Right now I dun really mind but I can imagine some tears coming from Malaysia when Shytmix is acting up and people can't connect for authentication (kinda like how people are shouting at Steam sometimes while the issue is actually Tmnet, I had 0 issue login to Steam since I am out). But hey, I play mostly SP anyway It's no "big" deal, just slightly not convenient for legit users and kinda a big move away from the old style of LAN which greatly contributed to SC1 success, that's why I am kinda rubbed off by this change. Personally I am sure SC2 is going to be one of the biggest hit in the last few years and will stay for many years to come, so even if they made it DRM free, people would still buy it to be able to play on Bnet. |

I ask you forumers, where were you first introduced to Starcraft? I bet most of you will say from cybercafes, where the game used to be played on LAN.
In fact, without LAN, the game wouldn't have never even rooted into the Korean gaming scene. In fact, if the game had no LAN, it would turn out to be just another RTS game that nobody would give a shit about in 10 years time. And I know I should not comment anything about warez, but let us be honest here; Starcraft became famous not through the people that bought the ori ones, but through people who play the pirated ones on LAN cybercafes and at homes and then buying the original ones. Those who didn't buy the original copies only spread the word about Starcraft to another, and another, so that more people would buy the original copies. It's viral advertisement through piracy. The same goes with Warcraft 3. It seems that Blizzard forgot who brought them to the dance in the first place, which is understandable since Blizzard and Activision are Best Friends Forever now. If you want issues about non-LAN, then how about this: the ability to play the game without any lag at all. Not all ISPs are fast, and all of you know how 'blazingly fast' our Streamyx connection speed is. If you're happy with playing the game at 500 ping, then it's fine for you, but not fine for a lot of us. This post has been edited by mylife4nerzhul: Jul 2 2009, 10:23 AM |

QUOTE(mylife4nerzhul @ Jul 2 2009, 10:22 AM) I ask you forumers, where were you first introduced to Starcraft? I bet most of you will say from cybercafes, where the game used to be played on LAN. Actually, my first introduction to multiplayer Starcraft was through Modem to modem connections... I think I only tried it in cafes MUCH later (Because, cafes at the time were bloody expensive)In fact, without LAN, the game wouldn't have never even rooted into the Korean gaming scene. In fact, if the game had no LAN, it would turn out to be just another RTS game that nobody would give a shit about in 10 years time.

If you're happy with playing the game at 500 ping, then it's fine for you, but not fine for a lot of us. Actually, Korea has one of the highest Internet penetration and coverage in the entire world. So, if anything, this move is made to benefit THEM. I don't think its valid to argue that Starcraft 2 should be lenient with piracy just because the first one was. We are no longer in that same backward situation where it was very difficult to find original copies. Previously, yes, physical word of mouth was more important as Internet penetration at the time was very low, so getting the word out on your game was difficult, subsequently though, piracy was harder as well. Now, just about everyone is connected and "viral marketing" doesn't need to rely on actual physical actions anymore. Again, let me say that Blizzard are not idiots when it comes to implementing connections over LAN. Even now when using Battle.net for Warcraft 3, if you are connected to someone on the same LAN, you are directly connected to them on not over the Internet... Stop with the "Only internet connection" rubbish. |

But the thing I'm concern about is...
If there's less LAN that able to buy all ori copies for their PCs, The popularity would be decreased. eg. Battlefield 2, etc. Wouldn't it bad for their competitive scene? Just my 2 cents. |

QUOTE(syNcv9 @ Jul 2 2009, 11:38 AM) But the thing I'm concern about is... Battlefield 2 tied CD-keys to accounts (Like Dawn of War 2 and the later Company of Heroes games), so unless everyone wanted to play a generic cafe account which had trivial stats or brought their own accounts, there was no point in playing in a cafe.If there's less LAN that able to buy all ori copies for their PCs, The popularity would be decreased. eg. Battlefield 2, etc. Wouldn't it bad for their competitive scene? Just my 2 cents. From what I can tell (Or hope) to do now is hope that CD-keys are still divorced from Battle.net accounts (Like with Warcraft 3). Which means you can access your account from any copy of Warcraft 3 as long as the CD-key is original. Doubtful though considering what Blizzard seems to be doing with Battle.net at the moment (Currently they're tying CD-keys to accounts) So yeah, cafes would obviously feel it the most when this comes to past and at the same time ppl will probably have to get their own copies just to play on Bnet in cafes. |

Errr there are much more debate on this LAN issue on the official battle.net forum in the StarCraft II General Discussion section. Again and again its the debate of the poison or the cancer. Too tired to disscuss LAN or not I'll still buy just hope there is thats all.

Another important thing ppl should understand is....
"You should buy the original game to enjoy whatever is in the game" Stop having the mindset that you can "play without paying". This LAN issue is really not so serious if the person talking is planning on getting an ori game for themselves. So what if they tie a CD key to an account? I'll just login my ori and enjoy LAN after that. And frankly, our local scene is a bit different from the international scene where Koreans are the majority of "true ori supporters" for Blizzard games. You can't blame Blizzard for siding them since we are not "donating" as much cash sales. So, go get yourselves an ori copy. And let the guys at Blizzard deal with the tech behind the game, LAN or no LAN. |

For me,it's pretty good.The only reason you see Securom to be better is that customers nagged and complained endless to the point that they have to change their policies regarding DRM. If it werent for the public outcry, we'd have DVD installers capable of only 3 installs per PC. Yeah, have fun with that. Securom is pretty much what i like.Install and forget. Never touch the disc again. The new Battlenet features are still very vague,i would say we wait and see how is it when the full feature comes out.

Yes, I will buy the ori copy, you will buy ori copy. However, it's hard to popularized the game without people that playing LAN. Face it, they are the one that make the game popular even though they are stingy bstard. Well, just thing in my head.

After reading whats happening in china I think blizzard have to make this move. |

I think everyone who love this game would ultimately buy the originals.
That's no doubt about that. Up to date patches with support, able to play freely in battle.net are among the reasons for going for originals. To me, SC2 is like a making of an "uber" game. What so ever excuses some people would give to defend about the dismissal of the LAN function, the LAN option had always been an excellent component for the development in SC legacy. It would somehow be a dissapointment to see its absence the coming SC2. This post has been edited by CityLife: Jul 5 2009, 04:22 PM |

Not much update recently, except the fact that the StarCraft II Beta icon has finally being implemented into the EU Battle.net.
StarCraft Legacy (a well known StarCraft fansite) , in association with Tractor Media has produced a breathtaking StarCraft cinematic which die-hard fans can easily relate to as the first contact between Terran & Protoss on Chau Sara: This post has been edited by talexeh: Jul 8 2009, 01:19 AM |

Well, it was explained by StarCraft Legacy that "this carrier with laser beam" was inspired from the official StarCraft II Carrier website:QUOTE Most carriers have no weapon batteries of any kind, but their deployment of interceptor flights makes them devastating in a ship-to-ship battle. However, a handful of heavily armed "super carriers" exist, most famously the Gantrithor. This was the flagship of Executor Tassadar when he led a protoss expeditionary force in its attempts to eradicate the zerg in terran space. The Gantrithor was powerful enough that it single-handedly defeated an entire terran battlecruiser squadron under the command of General Edmund Duke. |

protoss carriars are good with corsairs when against zerg . no air unit can come near ..hydralisk also die with corrsaors web ..
there's only one solution for the zerg .. use the defiler and cast plague . this kills off more than 50% hp of the carrier |

At mid game before you get defilers, zerg is pretty weak against a mid game terran army as mass medic and marines or mass Goliaths would chew away you unless you can hold your base before your defilers come out. When defilers come out, players should be about finishing the consume research, which is crucial as dark swarm is drastically needed to counter and defend against terran tech. Later parts of the game for zerg vs terran solely depends on the player expanding properly and dark swarming properly. As almost all of terran units are ranged, dark swarm practically makes terran units useless under the swarm. Not to say that plague is useless, but progamers rarely use it on buildings as defilers are always in the battlefield throwing out dark swarms and plagues on enemy units.oh wait, structure burn itself to the ground..lol |

If a unit/building has less than 300hp the damage will stop just before it dies. Plague is most used in vs Terran match-ups when a plague and a dark swarm on a group of marine & medics followed up with a zergling surround is deadly. If you guys are interested in professional starcraft gaming in Korea, a lot of their matches are uploaded on this Youtube account |

Since its always 6 months beta testing. We'll see if they release beta during blizzcon which is August 21 and 22.If they dont release the Beta on the next 3 months,forget about end of the year release then. |

Sorry to break you guys' heart.
QUOTE(Cydra @ Aug 5 2009, 01:17 PM) Today we announced that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will not be ready for release by the end of 2009. Over the past couple of weeks, it has become clear that it will take longer than expected to prepare the new Battle.net for the launch of the game. The upgraded Battle.net is an integral part of the StarCraft II experience and will be an essential part of all of our games moving forward. This extra development time will be critical to help us realize our vision for the service. Our mission is to develop games that deliver an epic entertainment experience. As part of that commitment, we will always take as much time as needed to ensure that our games and services meet the expectations of our players and the standard for quality that we set for ourselves as developers. As we work to make Battle.net the premier online gaming destination, we’ll also continue to polish and refine StarCraft II, and we look forward to delivering a real-time strategy gaming experience worthy of the series’ legacy in the first half of 2010. We will share more details about the beta, Battle.net, and StarCraft II’s launch in the future. Keep an eye on the official website at http://www.starcraft2.com for updates, and as always, thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support for StarCraft II and all of Blizzard Entertainment’s games. |

QUOTE In the long battle between Blizzard's standards and the calendar year, the calendar again came out the loser today with the announcement that the studio's anticipated RTS sequel StarCraft II has been delayed into the first half of 2010. Blizzard attributed the delay to needing additional time to produce the new version of Battle.net, its online gaming service. Though few details are available on the new portal, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick likened it to Xbox Live in its combination of gameplay and social networking features. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59856 QUOTE Despite the delay of StarCraft II into 2010, Blizzard says the release of Diablo III will not be affected by the shift. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59859 tl:dr its done when its done. |

Look at the bright side, at least they don't announce it on 31st Dec 2009 that SC2 won't be available for the year 2009. Anyway, a bad news is a bad news. Try L4D and anticipate for L4D2 this november instead. |

QUOTE StarCraft II Poker Set: Available At Blizzon 2009   Play like the marines and bet it all! Exclusively available at BlizzCon, this terran-themed StarCraft II poker set includes everything you need to start your very own interstellar poker night, including four sets of Vegas-style poker chips, two decks of cards, and a handy case to keep everything together. Each playing card features a unique design by artists from Blizzard Entertainment’s cinematics department—and it’s the closest you’ll get to a wild night in a Mar Sara saloon. This set was designed to be a “field issue” poker set. The designers imagined what a set of cards would look like after having been played for a period of time and what they would do to the cards. The result are these unique cards scarred by countless battles on the Terran front. Each case contains 98 chips, 2 decks of cards, and 5 dice. Interested in getting one? Perhaps it's a good idea to bulk it & gain some vespene gas in return? |

Wait, where did Blizzard confirmed D3 (or even SC2) will be out in 2010?
Way too early to say D3 or SC2 will be out in same year Imo, there are high chances they will be, but again it's Blizzard, I really do not take anything for granted. They are among the very very few companies that can say "Lol, suck it" to fans going apeshit about release dates and push back of it. They get away with it because they do deliver when it comes out and because they do make some good games. It's really gonna be out when they say so, predicting release dates before Blizzard say a fix date is like predicting the weather 6 months in advance imo... Wait & See |

Who knows what those lazy asses are doing they can blame it on anything. Lets just see when the beta comes out b4 we even think of the full release.
Out in 2010 could be 31st dec of 2010 for blizzard. Close to ready still means that that have to settle beta 1st, and since beta hasn't even been announced means that they just have unfinished work. |

Yar, I feel SC2 is the "big" thing that is coming out for Blizz right now, and they definitely dun want to come out with a crap, they know really lots of people are waiting on it and will be very very pissed off if they come out with a bad game or half assed one, including solo campaign.
WoW is their milk cow, they keep it around to make lots of benefice and fund their others projects (I have nothing against WoW, I played more than 3 years so it's not blind criticism), xpacs are not that bad to come out tbh, they have the mechanisms perfectly tuned down now (do not stand in Fire/Ice/Lightning/Poison/Little Ponies etc.). Northend has more or less a complete design already so it's copy paste and reskinning. |

SC2 is a new game.
WOW is already there, they are just adding additional stuff. unless there're graphical, technical or gameplay total breakthrough. |

QUOTE(SpikeTwo @ Aug 8 2009, 03:02 PM) SC2 is a new game. Unlike other studios.. Where they usually pressure to complete games with the mimimu, set of time so they can make money.WOW is already there, they are just adding additional stuff. unless there're graphical, technical or gameplay total breakthrough. Blizzard have no incentive to do so.. As WOW is generating income daily so by giving WOW fans something to look foward to every year will keep the subcribers alive. SC2 is just an icing of the cake.. So thats why they are taking their goddamm sweet time on it.. So they use all this tech trees and poker game set to keep the hype running.. |

We interrupt your daily dose of dumbass trolling to bring you a report straight from the Hive Cluster of Char
QUOTE Glynnis Talken Campbell, the original voice of StarCraft's Sarah Kerrigan, Queen of the Blades, lent her famous pipes for the StarCraft II reveal trailer at BlizzCon 2008, but ultimately the actress will not be voicing the villain for the game. According to Campbell, the voice work done in that trailer was considered an audition for the role, and Blizzard has decided to go in another direction. Voice actress Karen Strassman has updated her resume and added "StarCraft II - Lead" to it. More importantly, the end of her voice clip reel has this moody line: "For I am Kerrigan, Queen of Blades". Listen to the clip here. We are contacting Blizzard and will update if we get confirmation. Looks like we having a new VA for Kerrigan |

QUOTE Karune, our favorite Blizzard RTS community manager, has returned to answer a few questions before BlizzCon: First, he discusses BlizzCon itself: QUOTE There will be beta key opportunities surrounding BlizzCon as well. More info will revealed in time QUOTE There will be lots of ways to get information, including the fan sites as well. In addition to that, I hear Twitter isn't to shabby of a way to getting info too The Protoss Zealot has received an art upgrade: QUOTE As a FYI, several units got updates to their art, including the Zealot, which looks even more impressive than before. Keep an eye out at BlizzCon for all this new art Dustin Browder will be at the BlizzCon signing booths: QUOTE You'll probably be able to find him at the signing booths- make sure you check when which devs will be there. StarCraft II's Galaxy Map Editor (renamed from SCUMedit), will be able to create third-person games: QUOTE On a side note, going along with the Galaxy Map Editor can do anything trend, I hear it may even be able to create a first person shooter style custom game Anyone miss those StarCraft paintball games? Our devs internally have already tried out some pretty clever side projects that have been quite successful.-- Correction, I meant third-person, but honestly the only difference is where the player camera angle is put. http://sclegacy.com/news/23-sc2/471-karune-is-back I like the third person view for SCUMedit. Hope they have first person too. |

Yar, I do think we going to hear "something" about SC2 at Blizzcon, at least some screenshot or trailer on the current status of the game etc. I would be very surprised if they don't, it's their own special convention and it's far from being small.

QUOTE(Gormaz @ Aug 16 2009, 04:29 PM) Yar, I do think we going to hear "something" about SC2 at Blizzcon, at least some screenshot or trailer on the current status of the game etc. I would be very surprised if they don't, it's their own special convention and it's far from being small. Not to mention Diablo 3 and their new also. If they do not talk bout these things then bizzcon will have nothing to show. |

Even if they have nothing to show,they would still have rigs there with SC2 for people to play.
We'll definitely get something from them. |

If you take some time to watch and think carefully, those are protoss statues in the shape of zealots(due to protoss value the way of the warrior etc), probably an automated defense system for the artifact, uh so where is the weird part?

Newsflash: Blizzard says LAN gaming is like dinosaur fossil now
Hey Blizzard, not everyone owns a stable and big fat bandwidth internet connection. No body wants to login to an online app. just to play a LAN game. And not everyone gives a shit about your e-penis I mean in-game achievements. Blizzard is losing itself in the sea of money. |
