Starcraft 2 HOTS v1 Megathread - Kerrigan is coming (USE SPOILERS TILL 28.3.2013) - Games

[QUOTE=SystemGS;39889333]well i'm glad i'm not buying this for singleplayer starcraft 2 just seems to have a campaign as an added bonus to me now, i don't have any standards for that [editline]12th March 2013[/editline] also, is 4gate msc really as strong as it seems? i mean i know they changed it so that protoss can't warp in from a lower pylon to highground, but with the vision, it's gotta be so easy to pick off sentries with some stalkers i am going to hate laddering[/QUOTE] well as a terran, time warp is fucking strong when they are 4gating

[QUOTE=k0dex;39889647]well as a terran, time warp is fucking strong when they are 4gating[/QUOTE] The only real issue in HoTS TvP IMO is blink all in with mo core and void ray all in. That shit is unstoppable.

new 4gate confirmed to be stargates blizzard pls give stargates warpgate tech thx

Apparently pre-ordering at Microplay means that they'll have copies of the game on the release date, but who knows when the fuck you'll get yours. Not cool, Microplay. I bet EB Games would've had my copy ready.

prismatic alignment for void rays is something i'm really excited to play with in combination with time warp should yield fun results against zerg and terran players because their armies are so ground-focused mid-game pvp is now going to be voidrays vs voidrays though, colossi are no longer viable because stargate openers are so strong [editline]12th March 2013[/editline] also proxy nexus against zerg is a viable contain because you can use it as a fucking long-range cannon to steal their natural, start mining from it, produce stargate units from the backend, and then mass recall if the situation gets too hairy at their natural - you can take all of your probes with you too protoss metagame is about to get so fun oh god

i picked this up after never really figuring out how to play WoL properly gonna do the singleplayer and finally learn to play and hopefully get above high bronze

so terran players how are you liking all those new units blizzard gave u [IMG]http://forums.psucomic.com/images/smilies/ohyou.png[/IMG]

cool the game freezes each minute then runs normally then freezes and runs normally until I get a permanent freeze people on the forums have the same problem so blizzard fucked up, i've been downloading this shit for the whole day and it's unplayable

I'm 2 missions in and this dialog is reaaaaaaally bad Like, Junior High School film class bad

Can someone teach me how to play multiplayer? :v:

[QUOTE=Hoboiam;39891119]Can someone teach me how to play multiplayer? :v:[/QUOTE] make probes and pylons or scvs and supply depots or drones and queens+injects then you just spend that money

[QUOTE=Hoboiam;39891119]Can someone teach me how to play multiplayer? :v:[/QUOTE] Always build workers then build an army around that then expand max out supply, build more units, push and destroy enemy. Also tech somewhere in there. Whatever you do DO NOT LET YOUR RESOURCES STOCKPILE, always spend them and if you can't build more then production buildings.

[QUOTE=LeonS;39889122]okay without spoiling i have to say that thus far the campaign is the biggest pile of shit ive played since fucking dragon age 2[/QUOTE] I hated the WoL campaign, but HotS is much better. I'm having loads of fun! Plus[sp]Kerrigan is a badass[/sp]

[QUOTE=deerinheat;39891893]I hated the WoL campaign, but HotS is much better. I'm having loads of fun! Plus[sp]Kerrigan is a badass[/sp][/QUOTE] lmao what this has more clichés than the Book of Clichés and the dialogue is just outright horrible. the only one i even remotely like so far is [sp]Stukov[/sp]

Picked up my copy. [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24489264/Temp/_DSC5755.JPG[/t] [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24489264/Temp/_DSC5756.JPG[/t] [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24489264/Temp/_DSC5759.JPG[/t]

Just met [sp]Stukov[/sp] And now all of a sudden it has gotten interesting.

achievements are broken I complete campaign missions but I do not get the achievements at all, not even the "completed X mission on hard difficulty"

[QUOTE=ThermalArc;39892582]achievements are broken I complete campaign missions but I do not get the achievements at all, not even the "completed X mission on hard difficulty"[/QUOTE] Watching Destiny's stream; it appears achievements are 'down' atm.

am I the only one who enjoyed the campaign

im enjoying the gameplay aspects of the campaign so far but the story and all that is just on par with The Phantom Menace infact i want RLM to make a plinkett three-parter on the sc2 games once Legacy of the Void is out

[QUOTE=LeonS;39892733]im enjoying the gameplay aspects of the campaign so far but the story and all that is just on par with The Phantom Menace infact i want RLM to make a plinkett three-parter on the sc2 games once Legacy of the Void is out[/QUOTE] could you list a few irks you had with the story i think i was too busy laughing maniacally as i was swarming terran peasants

[QUOTE=DeEz;39892790]could you list a few irks you had with the story i think i was too busy laughing maniacally as i was swarming terran peasants[/QUOTE] Cliché's everywhere The horrendous dialogue The pacing of it The fact that so far it seems like WoL had no impact at all because you practically undid everything from WoL (so far, still havent finished it)

You're all crazy. HotS is doing more for the story than WoL ever did. If you think otherwise then you don't understand what's going on. As for me my only problem is ripping my Collector's Soundtrack because it appears there is no information available and I don't like having to manually name everything.

i know destiny's probably not the best player i could be watching but goddamn is he fun to watch. i'm glad he's streaming sc2 again, even though i don't understand this game as much as i probably should.

There is a lot of complaining about the game going around but I am having a blast. Some issues with the connection (lag etc) but I am having fun laddering and doing the single player. I also got plat in my placements!

Just finished the campaign. It was fun although the story could have been way better [sp](hybrids, darkness)[/sp]. [editline]13th March 2013[/editline] For some reason Spinecrawlers freaked out during several missions staying in some weird position refusing to attack enemies: [img]http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3025/screenshot2013031300474.jpg[/img]

I just noticed this: [img]http://i.imgur.com/ApShGXF.png[/img] It's labeled as career stats, yet it shows stats for the season. It looks like I'm depressingly horrible at SC2 :v:.
