i did read it correctly.

I'm from Malaysia, so i'm think it include in Asia as well, although the game is cheaper ($30 USD) but for 60 days only. Another option is US version which location on half way around the planet, i'm pretty sure the latency will be high compare to Asia server. Correct me if i'm wrong.  Also from BlizzChat Developer Chat on Twitter: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topic...7618&sid=3000#2

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.

If they finalize the price at RM248 for the standard edi. its really a total rip-off.

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.

Yeah, 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.

The simplest solution is, Log Out first then only Quit the game.

You wont crash if you do that.

Or, Alt+Tab out and close it in Windows.

I'm sure those who can't participate in beta are willing to endure the pain of exiting the client.

Bare with it and cherish what you got.

for now have to wait for patch 12 lo, workaround would be windows key > right click and close/end task (or ctrl alt del)

1) micro 2) macro

your MMM need to outnumber protoss (well, make sense right? 50 min marines and 100 min marauders? vs 100 min zealot 125min stalkers that marauders got advantage on LOL!)

so if ur BO/macroing got fault, then your number doesnt match up, gg lo

need 2 rax starting, with tech lab first + 2-3 marine prior, then reactor immediately on 2nd rax, and keep pumping NON STOP, you do NOT stop pumping these suckers for a MMM rush/build. also have one svc NON STOP on supply depots, you will catch up on population fast due to 2x marine + 1x marauder non stop back to back

when ur goin medivac, you need factory right? why not ultilize it. build reactor off that factory then have ur starport to build. they both will finish around the same time. lift off starport, lift off fact, land the star on the reactor, VOILA SPAM MEDIVACS.

by the time you got medivac, combat shield + stim packs *SHOULD* be researched. get dmg upgrade for good measure, then pump LEAD INTO THEIR FACE. enjoice.

Today is one of the most quiet night ... nobody seem to be online tonight

lol didnt manage to post the replay, had to go fly angels wwwwww

tonight finalizing that...

We’re preparing to perform another full StarCraft II beta database wipe in the near future. This reset will once again wipe the following information for all players:

Character and identifier
Friends list and Real ID friends
Achievements
Profile
League placement
Ladder rank

These database wipes allow us to test release conditions as well as to help remove any old or incorrect data as we continue to patch the testing environment. We want to once again thank everyone for their patience and continued help and support in testing StarCraft II.

The HD invitational match against WhiteRA vs TLO .. and guess who won and goes to the finals

Oh .. then cant do anything edy lo. Sorry

Added on May 14, 2010, 1:48 pmHehe ... Thor now looks so small after patch 12 .. lol , but i still luv it.

Yea it does, a smaller box, does not look so heavy for the medivac anymore

Our first Situation Report took a look at the changes with Patch 11 and while not a large patch, we wanted to continue sharing our insight on balance changes with Patch 12. Please keep in mind that we are continuing to keep a close eye on many of these changes to better gauge their effects and may not apply all of our planned changes into any one patch. This allows us to track the effects a bit better and layer in our planned changes to better set the pace of how they affect balance overall.

We have a few minor changes implemented as a part of the balance for this patch and are also planning some more ability changes for the zerg in the next.

Thor - Radius decreased from 1.375 to 0.8125. Model size reduced to match new radius.

We have reduced the physical and pathing size of the Thor just to make him more useable. This will end up being a minor buff to the Thor (which he didn’t really need). We made the change just to make him less frustrating to use. We’ll be keeping a close eye on how this change plays out and if Thors become too dominant we will deal with them in other ways in future patches.

Forge - Build time increased from 35 to 45. Life and shield values decreased from 550/550 to 400/400.

We are seeing a Photon Cannon rush against protoss and zerg. Against protoss, players usually use a cliff edge or the enemy minerals in combination with their forge to protect their pylon. Against zerg, you can use the Forge and Pylon to block the zerg player’s ramp. We have a few numbers we can tweak to fix this, build time on the Forge being the most obvious. However if we make the build time too high it will be difficult to panic build a Forge and Cannons to block a badly played cloak attack. So we are going to try a mixture of health nerfs to the Forge and a small timing change.

Mothership - Vortex now removes Force Fields within its area of effect.

Vortex continues to be an exciting ability with some known issues. Limiting how Force Fields are used around Vortexes will help fix a few exploitable situations. Our thanks go to the community for continuing to find and report issues with it. =)

Roach - Supply count increased from 1 to 2.

Roaches are just too mighty to be a 1 supply unit. In 200 supply battles Roaches can be very difficult to deal with even with the correct counters in play by protoss or terran players.

As always, we appreciate the ongoing constructive feedback and will continue to closely monitor the effects of these changes within the game.

still fake for medivac to carry such an enormous unit like Thor

they shud create a large transporter instead.. more real.

mass banelings! MMM all die hehehe

good riddance
