After a week consideration, I think I will buy SC2, but I did some surveys and SC2 SEA server gave me some bad impression, not sure whether is it true, there few questions that I've been wondering:
1) SEA server is dead? in what way? Find game will take 15-30 minutes?
2) I am using both Unifi 5MBPS and 384 kbps internet connectivity, 5Mbps is of course sufficient, but what if I play at Korea/Taiwan server? how will the ping fair? and is 384 kbps is enough for SEA server? I recently decided to quit DOTA2, 384kbps in DOTA2 brings me to somewhere 80-120 ping, never more than that but it is playable at those pings, I wonder how high will the ping gets me in SC2.
3) Any hacks happening around recently at SC2? I was an ex Maple Story players for around a year, after I found out that there are a lot of people hacking and stuff, I stopped immediately, I just hate unfair game.
4) I saw some post regarding people that bought SC2 and have to wait for their transaction to get through, then only can get the game, still happening?

QUOTE(DuskBin.Marksman @ Jul 12 2013, 12:46 PM) 1) SEA server is less populated than the other countries yes but it won't take 15-30 minutes lol. 2-3 minutes for me when I search for 1v1. Team games may take longer but not 10-15 minutes lol. You may expect to fight the same opponent a few times (depends on the time you're playing) 2) I am also using UNIFI 5MBPS (5-5) I don't think the max bandwidth you use is the issue. The Ping is not related directly to that as it is physical time latency not the amount of data you can transfer. SEA Server should be fine. Korea and NA feels delayish for me but others say it isn't. 3) Hacks will happen in every game. However hacks in this game are relatively beatable until you meet someone of equal skill level. Sheer macro can outright win games against opponents. 4) If you buy directly (Box version), it shouldn't be a problem. I never faced such issue myself. You can also download the client ahead in advance using the Starter Edition (Client is the same, only account limitations). Hope this helps. Thanks a lot for the answers! one last question about the box version, is the price the same with digital download?

QUOTE(ravenfire @ Jul 12 2013, 02:13 PM) Digital Download is like RM180 box bundle is RM250 so there is quite a bit of difference... I'm playing on NA server mainly and there is absolutely no lag (5mbps unifi) Played a few games on Korea before and no lag there either... only place im getting abit of delay is on the Europe servers. On the SEA servers, games take less than a min to find for 1v1 for me. thanks alot! but I wonder why no lag when connect to servers that is so far, i thought all online games will lag or delay when connect to servers that is far?

QUOTE(TruthHurts @ Jul 12 2013, 02:24 PM) Why do you need to think a lot when getting this game ? If you like the game.. get it, no question asked. I've spent more than RM300 on previous games, but after play them a week, I rarely play them anymore, so I regret and bertaubat, hope this time I am not wasting money

QUOTE(TruthHurts @ Jul 12 2013, 02:50 PM) Waste money or not .. it all depends on the player.. later you play SC2 HOTS then you feel no kick if you keep on losing since you are the only one who control all the units and there will be no friends backing you up... unless you play multiplayer like 2v2 , 3v3, 4v4.. Then again, its also depend you have good team playaaa. don't think so la, I love SC2, and I am a computer game guy, I divide the game into 2 type of style, casual and serious. I was pretty darn serious about DOTA2, but the fact that the player give me more troubles than the game itself, I decided to quit, I would rather focus on single player game than team game, win or lose, you can blame everything on yourself, just like BabyKnight from Na'vi, he was a pretty good dota player himself, until one day he fedup with the team, and go for SC2 because he also said that in SC2, your skill depends on how good you are, in team game, it's different, no matter you are god like pro, give you 4 monkey teammates, you will still lose, so, I am suddenly a anti team game guy

QUOTE(DuskBin.Marksman @ Jul 15 2013, 07:58 PM) Nope. That is an opening which uses air units but not the army composition Army composition = the type of army you go for as your main army. Skytoss would equal to most of your army being air units (Void rays, phoenix, oracle, carrier, tempest) etc. any pro done that strat b4? can' seem to find it
