I never get in Blizzard betas.
I'm surprised to see the tempest stay in.

The HotS beta also (at least in the video I saw) automatically sends your first workers out in the most efficient way, so that'll save a few precious seconds at the very beginning.

[QUOTE=munky91;37551029]I'm surprised to see the tempest stay in.[/QUOTE] I'm not.
[QUOTE=munky91;37551029]I'm surprised to see the tempest stay in.[/QUOTE] I'm not surprised to see the unit itself staying, but I am a little confused about the 22 range upgrade.

As in, not all of the keyboard presses translate into commands, a lot of it is just done to keep the fingers going (that way you don't start and stop, losing valuable time).
[QUOTE=X-Neon;37551531]It's pretty simple once you learn to keep building workers, not get supply blocked, and have a suitable amount of production buildings.[/QUOTE] That sounds simple on paper, but it's a pain in the ass to actually accomplish. Even when I think I'm going lightning speed, I suddenly get bum rushed by massive armies of high-tier units and I'm just left there thinking "How in the crikey fuck did they do that?" It's possible I just suck at the game though; I can't even beat Hard A.I.

I don't know if it's still around, but if there's still a SC2 thread over in Games Discussion, you can post a replay and they'll usually be pretty helpful at telling you what went wrong.
Usually its make more workers and don't get supply blocked.
my body is ready
lol i'll probably get in and not play (as always)
[QUOTE=frankie penis;37554094]lol i'll probably get in and not play (as always)[/QUOTE] I still log on and play against the GT AI when I feel like I need a bit of RTS gameplay, but the ladder just isn't worth it for me anymore either.

IIRC I only won one match, and that was because it was 2v2 and my teammate fucked their shit on his own.
welp time to dust off SC2 and start playing again [editline]6th September 2012[/editline] no beta why blizz why

I won most of the few 1v1s I played, but I've had awful luck with 2v2s, since the friend who I partnered had a "unique" style of strategy.
[QUOTE=frankie penis;37561988]blahblah[/QUOTE] it was a rhetorical question stop pls
The game became unplayable for me after 1.5 (without using the replay fix first), and they don't seem to want to fix this widely reported problem, so don't see myself buying anything else from bliz soon.
