Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

Vikings are the coolest units ever :buddy:

Oh hey there Novangel and Frozen, what's that in the OP?

THIS JUST IN cannon rushers still suck, check this replay FEAT. Chippay [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/LEAVE.SC2Replay[/url] (critique is cool if you want to, I got off my game after we realized how bad this guy is)

[QUOTE=onox37;24123207]What seems to be the issue?[/QUOTE] Bull shit tanks, Thors and marines make a fine fuck you sandwich to anything that comes near it. It's fucking no skill A click tactics that make Terran op. Losing to too many terran that think spamming 3 units that can beat anything makes them good.

no it does not, the ultras are so broken right now, their pathfinding is completely fucked because they are too big and since the maps are so choke happy there's always only a spot or two available for them to hit and they're insanely confused when there's zerglings around

Blizzard will fix it hopefully.

[QUOTE=Evilan;24123710]Two words. Ultra Ling. That should solve your problem for that type of build.[/QUOTE] I shouldn't have to tech a t3 unit to 3 armour upgrades and 3 melee upgrades just so they don't get one shot. Then after doing all that I have to deal with stupid fucking path finding.

Building ultra and lings is worse than just lings or ultras by themselves.

[QUOTE=sonicrjk;24120546]I need some help, I bought this game last night, and I get the program I need to download it and I get the error message "There was a problem authenticating your download, please go to Blizzard.com/account to start a new download." I already have been googling for the past day and I emailed blizz, anyone know why this is happening? To show I did buy it. [IMG_thumb]http://i38.tinypic.com/2gud3q9.png[/IMG_thumb] Error. [IMG_thumb]http://i37.tinypic.com/2z9e45g.png[/IMG_thumb][/QUOTE] The same thing happens to me, it downloaded about 300 or 400 MB and then said that. What I did was download the downloader again and start downloading, everything you've already downloaded will stay, but then it will continue to download another 300-400 MB until the next time it says this message, at which point you get another downloader. It's weird, I know, but it works for me. So far I'm on the 6th downloader.

fml, wrong thread.

How do I do the last zeratul mission on brutal? I can't survive 2500 units :(

[QUOTE=ARTILLERY!!!;24125906]How do I do the last zeratul mission on brutal? I can't survive 2500 units :([/QUOTE] I haven't beaten it on Brutal, but one of my buddies did and I think he used a lot of Void Rays and kept up their extra damage by attacking his own units. Still, it is really hard to pull off. Also, Immortals playing the role of tanks.

What you do is make a ton of Void rays and carriers and when it gets overwhelming, move to the bottom right where the hydras and shit can't hit you. Also, won three games in a row due to Protoss players being bad and making VRs. This guy got raped by my four marines with stims and then he made more. And then he made more. And more.

I thought it would be better to use PM so I wouldn't have to search for it in a sea of new posts, but this is understandable.

They changed my name finally :D

It's funny because [QUOTE]We wanted to let everyone know that in the near future we'll be allowing everyone a chance to change their chosen StarCraft II character name for free. In some cases, people chose character names that don't represent their usual multiplayer nicknames, as they were unaware of how the character names were being used. It's important to us that everyone is represented by a name of their choosing in their multiplayer games, ladders, and on the forums and community site. In addition, beyond this initial free name change, we’ll be launching a service similar to the one we offer for World of Warcraft which will allow additional character name changes for a fee. We'll announce more details on how the free name change and additional paid character name changes will be implemented in the near future.][/QUOTE] [URL]http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/572264#blog[/URL]

[QUOTE=ARTILLERY!!!;24125906]How do I do the last zeratul mission on brutal? I can't survive 2500 units :([/QUOTE] It will take a few tries--the key to the mission is to get the max possible number of units out as quickly as possible. I recommend building Collasi and Stalkers for the ground force, along with some Phoenix/Void Rays for the air. Phoenixs are surprisingly effective on the mission if you can keep them alive--use them to gravity lift the hybrids. Keep making probes until you are over-saturated. Another key part is to get upgrades quickly. Build an extra Cybercore and Forge; ALWAYS be researching upgrades. If you don't keep up with the Zerg and their upgrades, you will go down fast. After 1600 kills or so, the Zerg will be fully upgraded--you need to be on the same level as them. Also, when you start to have extra minerals lying around (this will happen fairly early in the mission), start building cannons all around your base, leaving a small path for your ground units to fit through. Even when your Psi is maxed out, you can still build cannons--take advantage of it to the fullest, don't leave stacks of minerals sitting around. When the archive is finished (after 30mins if I remember right), retreat your ground units to your cannons and defend from the upper ground. If you built enough cannons, and continue to build cannons until your minerals are depleted, you will easily get 2700+ kills.

[QUOTE=ARTILLERY!!!;24125906]How do I do the last zeratul mission on brutal? I can't survive 2500 units :([/QUOTE] I heard if you spammed Dark Templar and Phoenixes you could do alright if you sniped the overseers. I have no idea if that works though.

[QUOTE=MuTAnT;24128612]I heard if you spammed Dark Templar and Phoenixes you could do alright if you sniped the overseers. I have no idea if that works though.[/QUOTE] Blocking the entrances with DTs works until around 1500 kills when they swarm you with mutalisks and rape everything. You need lots of stalkers with shield and armour upgrades to match them.
