i can lol. but lol at the temps

cheese or lame mistake, a lost is a lost dei. and still doesnt changes the fact that hes really bad a sportsmanship.

the site only says what certain specs can run ultra, high, and medium. It's doesn't seem to tell anything about the kind of framerate i would be getting. For all i know, they can even say that 45 fps is considered 'playable'.

For me, 45 fps will not do for games like Starcraft. I want around 55-60 fps CONSISTENTLY, and i'm just wondering if any of you manage to achieve such a performance?

It's up to you to suck up to Blizzard.

Region lock will not affect us, but it will severely affect the competitive community. Tournaments like Asia versus Europe will not happen in retail SC2,as everyone have to buy 3 copies of SC2 to play with people in different region. While at the same time, Blizzard is pushing SC2 as esport. How will esport expand with the region lock? I like watching really good competitive gamers playing against each other,as much as playing it.

No LAN? Say you have a tournament in Mid Valley, and you dont have internet connection, can you play SC2 in the tournament? Or you are fortunately have internet connection, but Battlenet suddenly having maintenance, what will happen to that 200 people who are sitting there waiting for the game to start? You may not need it, but other people needs it.

Go watch Husky's video. He made very solid criticisms about that.



Also, have a look at Team Liquid's thread,  seems like you are the minority who are happy with the current state of the game. 94% of people arent happy with it.

The same MW2 shit is happening again. If im not wrong, i heard IAH Games from Singapore is managing the servers in SEA,including Australia and NZ. They are the company for the horrible experience of Hellgate London which put me off buying the game.

you are so wrong here...
the real reason blizzard doesn't provide LAN here is because they want to control every pro tournament scene that will be played out in South Korea
They don't get much from SC1 pro gaming scene in south korea, after negotiating with those korean about intellectual property right, but those korean ask them to f**k off
now, after shafting KESPA(korea esport company) hard in the @ss, by naming the rights of SC2 to other company...
look like Blizzard will be the sole player in korea SC2 Pro gaming scene .....

it's all about the money now, not pirates...cause there are no way u can stop those pirates from hacking SC2..

Why would i need LAN? have u ever have LAN PARTY with your friend before??

i guess not huh? cause maybe u don't have any real life friend, so i understand,,,
your only option is the internet....

If those people care about latency issue, would they even care of having a tournament in the first place. Idra admits it lags for him to connect from Korea to Europe or US, but he dont care,as he wants to have fun. I dont mind enduring lag if i get to have some fun with the people i like,as i really enjoyed to play with Aussies,even im in Malaysia in TF2. They are just a bunch of fun people to play with,compared to Singaporeans.

This isnt WoW, as SC2 is a completely different that is going to played by people from different community. Sure you rich MMO people have the money who buy all the ridiculous microtransaction that Blizzard sells. LOL at that stupid 25USD virtual ghost horse. RTS community arent like this,and we love to whine about every single thing that is out of place. Thats the majority of the RTS communities,as we care about the games we play.

Sure,this is a Beta, but consider this, how long has this game been in development? 1 year? 2 years? Thing that should be there, must be there by now,as it's called a Beta where the definition of a Beta should have all the intended features and it's used to iron out bugs. Where is LAN? Where is those WC3 chatrooms i loved? What sets Blizzard apart from EA or Relic is because they strive for perfection in everything. Now,they arent as good, because the share holders wants more money than quality.

MW2 is pretty much like NFS Carbon. Well hyped,sold well, but a fundamentally a buggy game. There definitely be one day where a Prostreet equivalent CoD release where majority of people start to get pissed, then, a Undercover version of CoD where everyone hates it to much to the point they refuse to buy it. Then,sales drop,and reboot franchise or close studio. Go google and see what happened to Neversoft now, or how is the C&C series heading. Sure,they can milk all they want, but when the consumers knows it's a mediocre product in a few years time, Activision Blizzard is gonna go down hard, just like EA a few years ago.

You can say i b**** a lot, go see other SC2 fan sites. Are these people happy? No,they arent.

OK so u dun play games together with your friend so STFU!!!

u don't play games with friend, that is your problem....

the issues here is not where you want to play it, either alone using internet, or get together at a friend's house playing together, drinking beers and talking crap while LAN partying....

u ask me why i need LAN, and i answered 'LAN PARTY'

now u ask me dun hang out with my friend doing LAN PARTY???
is there a problem with LAN PARTYING??????

So,you are saying, forcing everyone to play on their region is better than letting people to choose which region to play?

Wait, isnt SC2 a SC1 in 3D now? There isnt any major changes,but look, does anyone care if it's a good game?

A typical game takes 2 years to make which is decent enough, how many years Blizzard took to make a sub standard SC2? TF2 took 9 years to develop, is it a good game now? Great games takes time to develop as they need time to iterate the game to be prefect. Duke Nukem Forever could be a great game,but it never release.

Yea,no one cares now as there is a hype. You'll see in a few year's time. The wallets speak the loudest.

94%, where is the source of your number?
are you going to tell me that out of the few hundred thousand beta testing players all 94% of them are not happy with it? lets not even got that far. LOOK IN THIS VERY DAMN THREAD. TELL ME THE PERCENTAGE OF UNHAPPY PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD. is it 94%?

yeah u are talking as our ISP here is first class, that is on par like those in USA or south korea...

U take pleasure in letting activision shafting ur @ss upside down, not me...

So,you just want to carry this on and on.

Up to you then,as im sick of talking to all these blind blizzard fanboys. Yeah, Blizzard is still awesome.

You are doing it now.

Im not expecting it to be a free game in the first place. Your great experience doesnt mean that other people will have a great experience. Mine isnt that bad,but there are a lot of polishing left to do.

There are problems. Where is LAN? Chat channels? Region free? Those are the main criticism about the game,but are Blizzard listening to the problems? Nope,and they go and put Facebook in instead.

I dont see anything you debunked.

Yeah, very funny sarcasm.

oh hey, not giving kespa the rights to something they dont own/made was shafting them hard.       

jesus go learn more about esports already rofl. hell, lets not even go esport, would you EVER want to see your regular sport lagging? how would you like your NBA players lagging and doing poorplays?       

and hey, generalize more about someone who ISNT YOU. did idra specifically mentioned that he ENJOICE the lag much? if yes sauce prz else gtfo.

and speaking of generalization, decent attempt at assuming people pay for a horse that does NOTHING to your gameplay. and quite frankly i like my dragon which i got it for free instead of some translucent pony. oh and im sure YOU represent the RTS community eh? 1) i play RTS (wc2/sc1/war3 for blizz' games the least, and C&C when it was still by westwood, hell i even crapped with EA's RA2) 2) i belong in the RTS community and i belong to this sc2 community 3) YOU DONT REPRESENT ME

Yeah, you'll be glad as i'll be gone if i dont buy it.

It's up to you to believe. Those are the little things that made SC1 great.

Go watch the Husky video please.

HEY! look tard brains...
i never said anything about boycotting SC2 ok...?

i am just voicing my displeasure that blizzard didn't include LAN, chatroom, etc and they didn't listen to peoples cause what they care now is money...
and i blame it on ACTIVISION, cause ever since they merge, blizzard has turned into another money grabing whore...

and please, if u doesn't use LAN to play any games, that doesn't mean other peoples dun too...

criticisms and opinions are fine, however, the SAME THINGS over a span of TWO THREADS? quite frankly it gets old.

Why must attack them? No point.
Constructive criticism, yes.
Blind attacks, no.

Can you speak with proper English, I don't get what "QQ's " mean 

There are some obvious signs of Blizzard isnt the same as before. From the Frank Pierce's interview, it's obvious that they dont care about those loyal gamers who have been playing SC1 for past 10 years,while all they concern is profit.

SC2 resembles MW2 day by day. I refuse to buy Blur now,as sooner or later,they gonna drive the whole franchise to the ground or fire everyone again. Activision Blizzard dont mind killing the whole team if they dont perform up to their expectations,which is a very milkable 100 million profit games per year. Go read up what happen to Infinity Ward, Neversoft and Red Octane. They are all closed down or half dead now.

Blizzard is definitely no longer independent,as those greedy shareholders are ruining what they have achieved since 90s.

Not like Blur is the only racing game out there.

Trackmania 2 is on the top of my list. Dedicated servers, tonnes of custom content, and an active competitive community.

I dont think a revamp is needed,but just add those missing features that is present in WC3,for free. Go ahead and charge for skins and so on, i dont care.

It's getting disturbing in some sense as this is getting more and more similar to the whole MW2 no dedicated server issue.

but some ppl(evo) don't understand the importance of LAN, cause they always see things from the negative point of view, but not on what good stuff it can bring to us

we ask for the option of LAN, he said LAN is a joke...use tmnet cause tmnet connection is way faster and more stable than LAN.....
we ask for the option of chat channel, he said we want to spam at chat channel
we ask for the option to connect US west server, but now he is worried that we will lag, as if any of our game has any thingj to do with him...

Let's take a look at the current trend of multiplayer games. iCCup, Ga-rena, Ha-machi, Blue-server & other LAN-emulation applications exist for a particular reason. They emulate LAN & allow 2 or more players with a considerable distance from each other to play together. Oh wait! They also don't require you to use original game clients since they're not directly under the control of the games' respective publisher / developer.

I'm not saying LAN is useless, outdated or anything else but frankly speaking, if I were to put myself into Blizz's shoe, I'll say no to LAN as well. Let's face it, LAN party is no longer as popular as it was years ago & yes, I understand that you might still need it but again, we're talking about the majority all over the world. The broadband penetration in most countries are increasing hence the reason why LAN emulators are mushrooming here & there.

TL;DR on why LAN emulators are most probably not gonna see light:
- it promotes piracy
- the issue of intellectual property could spiral out of control again (*cough cough* KeSPA *cough cough*)
- broadband penetration is much higher compared to the past
- from the broadband point above, players are finding it much more convenient to play online
- the UDP issue needs to be fixed first. There's no time to implement new features with 27-July looming closer
- Blizzard knows the rest of the reasons

I've been holding back from using this phrase but I think it's pretty clear if you hate the game / B.net so much: You tak suka, you keluar. I know I'm nobody here, but you guys have been harping on the same old issue like over & over & over again. You accuse us of fanboyism when we don't see your points but the same can be applied to you. We enjoy the game & you don't but trying to say that your idea is the best EVAR doesn't prove any point.

I really need to replay Starcraft 1 for the story before Starcraft 2 comes out.

Can't really remembered most of the story in Starcraft 1.
