**** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

what did you expect, buff zerg?! :P haha neverrr!

thats why im trying to learn another race, bored of the nerfs :(
 
ooh a patch..doesnt look tooo bad. Will make zealot rushes harder to deal with, which was already a pain for me as zerg :(

On the other hand, faster zealots as protoss! :D
 
First thing, really, is these aren't so much nerfs for Zerg, as the 16 patch was buffs :)

Still, early game for Zerg is damn hard, but if they can make it unmolested past the 6 minute mark they are usually golden.

For me, it's good the Zealot timings have been reduced. It was damn hard on Steppes of War if a zerg 6-8 pooled you and you did ANYTHING other than 10 gated and had probes keyed up to block the ramp.

I lost about 6 games yesterday to variations of the 'ling rush. And I knew it was coming, I just wasn't able to get enough zealots out to fend it off.

They can have like 12 lings while you only have 2 zealots and with decent micro from the zerg, there's little to be done.

On bigger maps it's not such an issue. But it broke steppes PVZ.

The bunker thing is a bit mental. The reaper change is okay, early reapers weren't to big of a problem even on steppes. With the nerf they got in patch 16, they were basically only good for delayed scouting.

Not really, the zealot build time was just reverted back to what it has been since february. They've only lengthened the build time since the start of phase 2, so they've only been easier to deal with for 3 days. :p

Basically all these changes are just reverting back the hidden changes that weren't in patch 16s notes. So no buffs or nerfs for anyone, except those playing in the last 3 days.
 
Not normally one to go oooh 'look at this replay' but look at this replay :)

I really enjoyed this 'cos I hate Terran so much.

Basically I scout him appearing to go 111 so I macro up intending to go for voidrays. He gets a delayed scv into my base and sees my stargate near completion. So I think screw this, I cancel it, drop down 3 more gateways and a robo and twilight, going for roboblink.

His reaction to my stargate is vikings + turrets. Eventually he sends in his vikings to see what is going on, only to get smacked in the face with stalkers. He has like two tanks and a handful of marines which I wipe out without breaking a sweat.

I love games like this one :) ESPECIALLY when it's a terran on the receiving end.
 
Thanks for sharing the replay :) Looks like he barely scouted you cancelling it, but decided to go for vikings anyway..:confused:

Got to agree, most of my stupid losses are to terran players. Most of the times it will involve something incredibly infuriating.

Played a couple games against indie yesterday where he just straight up beat me by..well..being infinitely better than me :D a refreshing change from the usual terran experience!

I'll be on later, might have a few 4v4s, not many though because I really dislike 3v3 and 4v4. :(

I'm feeling terrible today so I probably won't be playing that great, but I'm rubbish on the best of days anyway. :p
 
Had an email from Game today asking if I wanted to upgrade to the collectors edition @ £59.99. Mmmmmmmmm


Also: online now if someone fancies a game? ps I am noobish at it

Also, the screen is 'tearing in the middle' when I scroll across the map is this normal or something to do with my settings which are all on highest?

I also got that email! Would be interested to see what the DLC content is but the rest is useless to me.

Your screen tearing will be to do with your driver version of your graphics card. What card you got?
 
Still a good card, pretty close to the new ati 5770's using dx9. I've got a 5770 using 10.6's, 1920x1200 mostly medium with a few things off or low, like shadows and physics. Will probably be able to play through the single player campaign on high or better, just multiplayer during large battles with 200 units it can slow down, so would rather not risk graphics lag and use lower settings.
