Im probably gonna go Random till retail.

I do feel Protoss is the right race for me,as i won 2 out of 2 games with them,so far, while i lost most of my games with Zerg and Terran.

StarCraft 2 Facebook Integration Warps In

Is Battlenet US down or something?

Man,keep getting pawn when i play as Zerg and Terran.

Seems like no more random for me.

Thanks, i think i have to play more custom game or wait for retail to practise with AI before i play them on Quick Match.

I have been losing all of my Zerg and Terran games, but i won all Protoss games with early Zealot + Stalker, then to Immortal/Colossus/ Void Ray. Feel like trying Sentry and wtf them.

I think im having problem managing a zerg and terran base. I cant get enough units or tech fast enough with Zerg,while with Terran, i just dont really know what to do.

I dont want to get demoted to the novice ladder with Random. So,now, play Protoss as they are easier to play.

The new Phoenix looks imba,though.

Looks like those attack move cheese.

I mean it looks a lot like those attack moves you see in other games.

I think Hallucination is a good ability.

Seen lots of VoD and replays where that ability is pretty game changing.

Optional purchase my ass, the full unlimited version only available on online,not in the stores.

30USD for 60 days isnt cheap at all. No matter how much the extension will cost, in the end the game will still cost more than the unlimited retail version in the long run. Looks like they want to milk them instead. Put a much lower price at release to make them addicted to the game, then, add a "subscription" fess for them to keep playing.

They are only considering,even the high ping problem has been experienced by gamers in this region for years.

These people are damn efficient.

Yea, facebook integration is much more important than region free for servers.

No doubt that they should be greedy, as gaming isnt charity, but it's a multimillion dollar industry. The question is, how much greedy that they want to be?

I just have a bad feeling that SC2 will never be as popular as SC1, considering how Blizzard treating the game now.

This is the SC2 thread.

Dont be a blind Blizzard elitist. With the SC2 beta, Blizzard isnt any better than your assumed to be crap companies.

Besides, you dont own the thread, just because you are the TS.

Im not saying you are Blizzard fanboy.

There are other alternatives like other companies have done where they release localised version of the game so that the price of the game is cheaper for the local people. This has been done for years, and i know Indian region locked Valve games are cheap as chips. Also, by doing so, people in that region can still get the game on lower price which makes a "subscription" looks more like a milking scheme. Besides, most RTS gamers dont really bother with MMOs in general, as they are more used to retail boxes. This seem to be more out of the norm with the subcription system for a RTS that is not labelled as a MMO, IMO.

30USD for 60 days isnt cheap,IMO, especially considering the countries they are aiming for. While the alternative to get the no subscription system is buying via Blizzard store, it's a bit unfair. Even here, there are a lot of people dont have CC to buy games online from Steam.

On the other hand, the 30 USD version with 60 days limitation is great for those who dont bother about MP at all, but only want to play SP campaign, though. Seriously,how many of us here only want SC2 for SP only?

The problem here is Activision is trying to milk everything. There could be a chance that SC2 might be bastardised like CoD again which i dont want to see it happen.

I doubt that Malaysia is gonna get the 60 days limited edition for RM248.

It's was too ridiculous for that price. You can almost buy 2 latest retail games with that.

Maybe you love to pay every month to Blizzard or you are used to pay 60USd for console games,but this isnt what everyone else want.

One time payment of 60USD is more than enough.

Added on May 8, 2010, 1:43 pmI dont know why they want to do it like this, but this isnt a reasonable at all.

I'll definitely wont be getting it if they charge monthly fees on it. There are other good RTS to play.

We'll wait and see.

RM248 for a 60 days limited game is ridiculous.

Nope,no longer the case. Asia might get the time limited version too.

Lets hope it's the unlimited edition then.

SC2 is even more expensive than MW2.

Well, i have been saying this since dunno when.No one believes me.

RM248 for a PC game is ridiculous. MW2's price is bad. SC2's price is even worse. If they put subscription on SC2 and RM248, wow, the ridiculous level has been brought to a new level.

KeSPA said this to Blizzard:



Translation is available on Team Liquid.

I dont think Blizzard is still the same saint.

Same situation with me, as i can do decent rushes, but problems comes when im in mid or late game. I think, this happens because you are not familiar with the tech trees and the not obvious counters in the game. I still dont really get it why the game tells me the counter for Colossus is Viking. Siege Tank seem more obvious to me.

I started to use Help[F12] to find my counters now as some of the counters arent obvious at all. Watching replays should help too.

Added on May 8, 2010, 2:58 pmYeah, they did say that, but they seem to mention that the unlimited version is only available on the Blizzard Store. It's weird,though,as not everyone has a CC to buy.

Thor is a pretty nice unit, after i manage to use it.

Im not good with Terran at all,though.

Whats your id, Xeno Freak?

The subscription system shouldnt affect us.

Is it really safe to use?

Tempted to use as it lags a bit for me and it's kinda hard to micro sometimes.

I usually play at 9pm to say like 12am. Connection much more stable that time.

Battleping seems a bit doggy,though. Not many people are using it.

Thanks for the link,though.
