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

you terran and zerg players are so lucky. you dont have to experience the dread that is PvP

[QUOTE=meppers;39973712]you terran and zerg players are so lucky. you dont have to experience the dread that is PvP[/QUOTE] PvP isn't fun at all, thats why I switched to zerg cause there funner.

[QUOTE=meppers;39973712]you terran and zerg players are so lucky. you dont have to experience the dread that is PvP[/QUOTE] I played a few PvP today, i thought it was fun doing blink stalker all ins and stuff, cant be bothered with macro games tho

[QUOTE=meppers;39973712]you terran and zerg players are so lucky. you dont have to experience the dread that is PvP[/QUOTE] Voidray vs Voidray ftw!

[QUOTE=meppers;39973712]you terran and zerg players are so lucky. you dont have to experience the dread that is PvP[/QUOTE] Instead we have the experience the dread of just ZvP or TvP :v: (hatingonprotossisstillcoolright?)

[QUOTE=W00tbeer1;39969270][sp]No, it's simply the order you get the units in. You end up going to both either way.[/sp][/QUOTE] I meant in terms of cutscenes and dialogue.

I miss Defilers

I'm so bad at this game now, I was Diamond back in 2010 where I could beat plats no problemo. Now that I've taken a year or two off of playing I'm in gold sucking ass :c

[QUOTE=igamiwarr;39975073]I meant in terms of cutscenes and dialogue.[/QUOTE] [sp]Kerrigan will still become the Queen of Blades and all of your units become purple if you go to Zerus first. Dialogue isn't different but her voice does change a bit.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Sir Drone;39975096]I miss Defilers[/QUOTE] Blinding cloud is so tiny, it's hard to want to make vipers.

Plague was pretty good too, its the biggest pain in the ass having to repair mech armies after they've been plagued in bw. Or being Protoss and having all your units on red hp and full shields afterwards :suicide: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpuv7VPb2rA[/media]

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;39976281]Blinding cloud is so tiny, it's hard to want to make vipers.[/QUOTE] They're good against mech and 2base Protoss robo tech. But if you're against a Terran going bio/mine infestors are still better because they can hold everything down while your ultras kill them.

Guys is the hots campaign any good?

[QUOTE=jung3o;39976451]Guys is the hots campaign any good?[/QUOTE] Yeah.

Its alright, sub-par story, [sp]terrible ending.[/sp]

[QUOTE=jung3o;39976451]Guys is the hots campaign any good?[/QUOTE] The first couple of missions are a bit sappy and..."overly Hollywood" I guess, but the story gets interesting quick and stays that way through most of the remaining missions. It kept me going back to it and I enjoyed it just as much as I did Wings of Liberty.

Gotta get Top 10 2v2 NA... getting there [img]http://i.imgur.com/nkEpsns.png[/img]

[QUOTE=igamiwarr;39976468]Yeah.[/QUOTE] Ok thanks

Can anyone point me in the direction of HoTs standard Protoss builds? Im back playing SC2 after a 2 year hiatus and im Silver scum and its annoying, im getting wrecked by shit I even know is retarded to get wrecked by. Such as a hidden 3rd base all in battle cruiser and banshee.

What's the best way as zerg to deal with a protoss player turtling in around 3 or so expo's? i've tried to get those earlier harrases off against toss but they have a strong game against my early units so i'm not sure what to do.

You have to harrass his main/natural and pull his army out of position while attacking his 3rd with your real army.

F10 N. Try dropping banelings on his mineral line.

[QUOTE=zombojoe;39978365]You have to harrass his main/natural and pull his army out of position while attacking his 3rd with your real army.[/QUOTE] Yeah that micro macro switch forth is the step that's catching me right now. however, that said I just had a great win as zerg against a protoss after a horrible loss to another. Game one, I scout early, notice he's got nothing really going on, no gateway or pylon. I see it's actually outside my base on my natural, he's got two gateways and two pylons going, my spawning pool went down at 14 supply and he was ready out there with both gateways ready to drop a individual zealot each about the same time as I had four lings up. I tried to get all the lings out that I could, and I had scouted that as early as I could have, but he just had a few lots too many for me to actually do anything at all and I lost at 5 minutes. That was just totally frustrating. Second match, I see the toss player is going forge nexus and I do a quick trip hatch and pump drones out to 44 supply and then spam lings until there's no tomorrow. I totally messed up my gas and lair by doing them really late(almost 7 minutes I think). He comes at me with a single orace, I tossed down a spore colony instantly and scared him off and did so at every mineral line just to be sure i was safe. I attack back with lings and see what I can do to harrass him, which isn't much, he's walled in hard with cannons. i build a baneling nest and a spire and upgrade overlords with speed and carrying capacity and i load up 5 or 6 overlords with banelings, drop just off the side of his base and run my blings in, and get maybe 24-28 of his probes on two different minion lines while assualting his third expo with lings and getting that. Pretty much ended it there but it dragged on a few minutes more. [editline]20th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=villa;39978413]F10 N. Try dropping banelings on his mineral line.[/QUOTE] did that without reading this but yeah, that's a great strat.

In HoTS you build a few swarm hosts to pressure his front, 3-4 vipers to abduct colossi and hydras or ultras!

PvT - Can do 1g expand, but a bit risky, due to widow mines/reaper expands/any 1base terran, etc. A bit safer to get zlot+stalker > momma core > then expo PvZ - FFE is still pretty standard, i recommend a stargate opener afterwards.

Oh shit, replaying the original Starcraft, the overmind was right all along, it told us about the hybrids bro, it told us.

[QUOTE=gnisasas;39980538]Oh shit, replaying the original Starcraft, the overmind was right all along, it told us about the hybrids bro, it told us.[/QUOTE] So didnt Samir Duran. He straight up tells you and you find the lab as Zeratul that they were making them in.
