if ur against toss, and ur reaper rush fails, its almost a guaranteed loss D:

Not really ... if micro is good, baneling can be aviodable.

Yup .. if against toss, i will not go reaper rush .. its suicide.

For these who played WoW before, is it using the same Blizzard Downloader tool for getting patches and co?

I never managed to get a "green" connection with that thing, even when able to run other torrent stuff perfectly fine on the side.

Sucks if they use this for the full game, that thing is good for US/EU but pretty crap for the rest of us 

Meh, okey, I tried from few places around Bandar Utama though, never really managed to get it work fine (it usually went back to the HTTP Download which takes forever).
I ended up downloading the patches from external websites if it was more than few tens of Mbs.
I did forward ports and all too.

See how it goes on retail then

My experience as follows:

1. Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne

Download for Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne is ok. Around 600 to 700mb each.

In game patching is quite fast.

2. Starcraft 2 Beta

Download for Starcraft 2 Beta (didn't do that for the entire thing so not sure)

Patching is horrible. Takes forever to download (and you can't tell how much is done save for that blue bar that sometimes looks like it's moving because there's no indication of ??MB downloaded nor how big is the patch, even Games For Windows Client has that)

And after each patch, you gotta restart the game and download the next patch. So you gotta keep tabs when each patch is actually done downloading and done applying to the game.

Well,as people always say, Blizzard is awesome and everything they do is great.

The way Blizzard patch is already obsolete and terrible, as most companies have changed to different method of patching where the client compares the local files and the files on server. Then, download only the files needed so the the local files is the same as the server. Blizzard have so much resource and they cant do it. Worse, there is not even a cumulative patch for the first few patches for the Beta as you have to download patch 1 to 10 one by one.

If they are so great, why is the patching is so painful and slow?

Even RA3 Beta have cumulative patches for each patch released.

I couldnt find any thread that have patch 9 which is the huge patch. The small ones are still ok.

what evo already said, it downloads what it needs, and thats that. blizz just havent got to using one cumulative singular patch just to get v1's to say, v10 like they've ALWAYS done for diablo1-2, war1-3, WoW, sc1 for some reason and im sure they are prolly testing (oh, this is still the beta, right?)something out on the patching system. you'd think that it wouldnt raise questions to do something different (or in your viewpoint, obsolete and outright terrible) when they've already done what you have describe all the time for all their games.

and lets put it this way, not ALL of us are having painful and slow patching. i dont, for instance.

oh wow someone actually understood whats the purpose of a beta test... 

/jokes aside, yeah they are using really similiar tech thats been used for WoW, just a lil different as there arent cumulative patches yet, and/or smarter/faster/better patching compared to WoW

nvm we can play good enuf LOL

just enjoice our sc2 games

They added the gigantic map editor + new maps which resulted in a larger patch, what so bad with letting it patch a little bit longer.

It's not the size but the speed of the download.

I gonna let the installer run again in an older PC and see what happens.

Then I gotta test it, hopefully the experience won't be as bad as on my new PC.

LoL yeah same I downloaded it before I went to office, for that patch.

But then again patch 9 is considered a huge patch, I wonder whats the size of it. Its almost like downloading the whole SC2 beta client, I guess.

I gonna try it again tonight using old PC since I can't get it to work on new PC (200+ games no issues and this is giving me the most problems even BSOD during patches).

I'll download and install all files via their website and hopefully I can play instead of trying to make it work by Friday, if not I'll just pass my account to a friend.

random for lyfe since all races also fun...

zerg is tiresome on my fingers though
s > zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
s > rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
s > hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
s > mmmmmmmmmmmmm

lol

Argh... f*cked up my last placement match due to messy gameplay. Was winning but ended up giving the match away to a few mutas.

I know I'm not gonna stay at those high league for long but really, when the mistakes are so huge & stupid, I really deserve a big slap across the room.

/rant

I'll just create a new e-mail/fb just for this game.

Your link does not seem to be working.

But there were less than 10 that goes online at night.

tip for zerg: play piano

tip for terran: wall wall wall > MMM (or reaper harrass if ur fancy and being a complete badass motherf***er) into tanks or air like viking/banshees (and ur medivacs of course, the 3rd M)

bah sentry nerf wth, and gj on the phoenix, ill love to use it now....better AA in general

* ZERG
o Brood Lord
+ Life has been decreased from 275 to 225.
+ Armor has been decreased from 2 to 1.

too bad the roach still very powerfull ...

which is a good idea as i can fake more carriers to fake them into building AA

oohh need to collect and not email, yeah good call. so you get the option to cancel if need be ^^

fixd

real men build real units

Cos there are no koleans, and TLO FTWWWW

That guy is a lawn mower, in all the SC2 competition that I've seen. But Im still a bigger fan of TLO cos he always surprise us with his play and performance.
He always does that and there he goes b****ing bout the game all over again.   

who said cant? just pray you got ur tanks or vikings for colossus if ur slowpoke to not finish the toss during ur MMM momentum, or mass more marines if he immortals instead of colossus

the tricks is to get a good kiting if he zealot, if he stalker, just turtle i n the base OR have map control over expansions (HIS ONES) then once ur stim pack + medivac is out, PRE STIM HEAL CHIONG AHHHH XD~
