Added on May 31, 2010, 3:18 pm blizzard learnt that having general chat is doomed to ruin the community... dun believe me? make a wow trial account and go to barrens (horde side) and listen to all the wonderous chuck norris facts... again, u have chatrooms for u, frens, groups and clans (just that group and clans has not been implemented yet) inb4 "OMG I TOLD U SO MAN!!!" in all seriousness though, i enjoyed barrens chat and i would honestly like to have chat rooms, i still participate in quiz bots for war3 Added on May 31, 2010, 4:26 pm QUOTE(Damian @ May 31 2010, 03:22 PM) LOL! i found a nice server for SC 2. i won't post in here... post and you can enjoy a vacation This post has been edited by Quazacolt: May 31 2010, 04:26 PM

Example u can join in channel "Malaysia" play games and get to know them too (Without addding them or asking email from them in the first place). And i do make fren with random malaysia when i played a game with them. I did get know of my clan leader during a custom game in "Malaysia" channel in warcraft 3 last time. Furthermore, i also played with those famous players in w3 last time in "malaysia"channel also, example scrubbie and some tournement winners etc. A very good place for you to find practice partner As u mentioned that you can leave the trade and public channel due to random spam, but this also imply in w3 bnet too. trade channel is a good feature, agreeably, removing it is definitely a step back on bnet 2. its a shame, however things like these definitely does NOT hinder sc2 in any form as the naysayers/doom singers may claim so

You are happy with the game so be it then, but is there a need to go on and on with this? The videos and so on are proves, but you all just ignore it. Fine by me. You want me to post a warez link? No thanks. Go find it yourself,and these things will happen sooner or later. then why the hell you're still going on? trying to start a flame war? who the hell is the person going on and on with this in the first damn place? Added on May 31, 2010, 4:34 pm QUOTE(windboy @ May 31 2010, 03:50 PM) ops i forgot to add in, i met him in the channel, and that time i was asking him for a friendly game, so is it count as i met him first at the channel before the game? i'm not too sure about the group channel, is it we only can add ppl to the group chat after we added them as friend? you can add people from the score screen after ur game is finished Added on May 31, 2010, 4:37 pm QUOTE(evofantasy @ May 31 2010, 04:29 PM) lol... WoW quiz bots are kinda fun as well >.< barren chat gets old after multiple alts... u should try ICC chat during raid hours... all the 6lines spam/ macro... is really annoying >.< im a dpser, icc raid chat makes it less boring while spamming 2-3 buttons This post has been edited by Quazacolt: May 31 2010, 04:37 PM

You email to them didnt actually end up with anything fruitful. Back when SC2 just announced, people were complaining about the ugly Siege Tank. Blizzard changed it to the current awesome one 3 months later. If they could see the problem, they would have known by now. The amount of unhappy people isnt just a few people, but definitely not to the scale of MW2's no dedicated servers. They dont even give a damn about MW2's dedicated server issue, even it spans all the way to gaming mainstream media like PC Gamer and Gamespy who are also not happy with. What makes you that they will do something about this? They drove the Guitar Hero franchise to the ground,while the ex-competitor, Harmonix still alive and kicking,again with their competitor, EA and MTV. It's just funny to see how much shit Kotick has done past few years,and he is still there. notice this: first he says blizzard doesnt listen then he says he could not be bothered to email blizzard key pointers: how could blizzard listen to something that isnt told to them?

Forces you to buy extra clients to connect to buddies in other regions. Any word on street price? The only thing I've heard is a whopping RM248. Will boycott the game if I have to pay US$76 for the SEA version. go ahead. thats the price for sc2

There is a chance for change, that's why fans feel they have to shape the game the way the want it. That's one of the reason we have betas. I do agree that some people are overreacting due to dissapointment. and the article.... 1. South Korea. I'm so suprised how Gosugamers bought this up in the first place. One sentence - I would like to see Korea e-sports to have suceeded without lan. Mutalisk micro wouldn't have have existed. If small scale practice was so good in the 1st place, why no LAN? 2. To buy multple copies of SC2 is still cheaper than playing football, ice hockey, or even baseball. How much does it cost to buy cleats, sticks, shoes, or even skates? I'm so suprised how Golf and tennis didn't make into the list since they are indeed even pricier sports. But in Malaysia, I can pay RM30 to play badminton in my frontyard. Or throw in RM5 per person to get a branded basketball or soccer. But I guess no one gives a sht to Malaysians. Also, nobody cares about getting a decent PC, with decent CPU and GC also high DPI mouses anymore? And what happened to promoting e-sports? Start by making it expensive?! BTW, Koreans can make it big because of sponsors, not because of regional lock in SC1. No money = no e-sports, simple. 3. Not only that, but it could lead to server migrations where servers could lose popularity. With regional lock, no server migrations yes, same server popularity no. Since people can pickup their facorite region anyway. What's to stop a East guy buying a West copy as a first copy? Server popularity will be so much more clear cut few month after the game launches. 4. As for the issues with lag, despite the increase in technology and broadband connections, it was not that long ago that the BroodWar communities in Europe and America decided to restrict the participation of Chinese players in their tournaments. Again, no options. Now ALL tournaments will have to be region locked. Yes, even EU to US. Also, JOM STREAMYX!!!* 5. Spam. By that logic, no emails, IMs should exist. Nor should my mother cook, because there's a chance that my house will catch on fire. Algorithims were made to filter spam mails, exe files were blocked from IMs. Welcome to the 21 century. It's fine that Activision wants money, but most can't stand them talking BS pretending that everyone is less incompetent. No hard feelings to anyone, as all of us have the same intention to see SC2 succeed. E-sports fighting! at least someone is providing something constructive here. and hey, JOM STREAMYX!!!

You should expand early if you plan to transit into mid-game smoothly. Your natural expansion has a nice choke point, use it the same way as your starting base's choke - you did notice that he's massing Hydra after your first push failed. Yet you still train unit that doesn't benefit you against light units - you group all your units into 1 control group. Put them into various control groups such as anti-air units, AtG units, etc. That's the reason why your units keep dancing around & your Vikings suicide themselves - explore the map more. Try placing a cheap unit such as a Marine in all mineral fields to alert you of expansions. You can also float redundant buildings nearby as scout - you build only 1 unit-producing buildings each except Rax where you got 2. Build more to get units faster - don't limit yourself to these few type of units only. Try Raven if you notice that he's going for ranged units with projectiles such as Hydra. PDD is actually very good - expand like crazy! Build a CC if you have too much mineral & float them to all the mineral fields to get more resources - too much mineral? Build more Supplies since it never hurt to have 200 supplies ready good and detailed pointers, and naw, NEVER too much minerals. if you have too much, something is wrong

Added on June 1, 2010, 11:18 am good job for removing LAN blizz, u just stopped one possible piracy case only got some 300-400 gas boost. minerals are no prob with the early expo Added on June 1, 2010, 12:34 pm QUOTE(XenoFr3ak @ Jun 1 2010, 11:45 AM) Wanna counter Zeus is easy ... just call Kratos, Ex-God of War Ok .. now back into topic Btw, which Terran units can counter mass hydra? MMM or helions. MMM are more practical as its ranged vs ranged. if its helions, ur gonna take a huge chunk of dmg before they can even roast the hydras additionally, banshees with cloak, thors depending on ur number, or siege tanks in siege mode ravens PDD are nice too, i noticed they work XD Added on June 1, 2010, 12:35 pm QUOTE(talexeh @ Jun 1 2010, 12:10 PM) Hellions! If you upgrade to Infernal Pre-Lighter (aka blue flame), you'll be having BBQ Hydras for 7 days 7 nights. Om nom nom... EDIT: The om nom nom factor will depends on how you position your Hellions. Note that all ranged land units in SC1 & SC2 always make a line when engaging each another, a very favourable formation for Hellions. prob is during ur position/closing in, ur losing a huge chunk of helions already lol.

So feel free to 1v1 with me if ur a terran. Want to train as PvT is my worst matchup possible. Not really sure how good he is, I did watch a couple replays of him playing the semis. Round of 16 and 8, clean sheet for me .. Almost lost the semis, just edging ahead 3-2 Hopefully no lag will spoil the game for me. i heard there's a tournament for Malaysian only ? Can I join ? when is it ? im a randomer but if you want to practice i could help provided im free to play as terran XD from yesterday's games: - ur micro is defo better than his - he... cant rush or what? his early BOs damn bad weh lol - if you proxy/preasure him early, i think he can gg ady - try not to go late game against him, he does quite a nice air/mech mixup - speaking of air, and his micro, his vikings ALL of them right click one col and didnt seem to use queued command, wasting his viking volleys ler, and eventually got took out. vikings have high maneuverability and he didnt ultilize that a tall >_<

Guardian shield will help reduce damage from range units too including those of Hydras. Collosus would be great for hydras. You can get zealots to tank in front, sentries to force fields and collosus support at the back. Careful micro of these important units prove vital. Well these are effective if you can get them but still have to use what ever buildings you had at that time to counter at best. For any match-up, scouting is definitely important or just test the front door with your timing push .If heavy zealots, force fields will just render his army useless, immortals good against stalkers. There's no best thing to do for any match because its basically different in every ways. Even phoenixes can be really effective at times, don't forget void rays too I think I didn't help much here .. lol. Just play a game with me and I ll see what I can help or advice good pointers no doubt
