any reliable release date on this yet? Looks very good

nothing very reliable, however i keep seeing "first half of this year" thrown about quite a lot.

Looking at the balance of the game so far (very good) it shouldn't be too long.
not sure how the campaign plays as its not in BETA. so can only comment for one vs one (not played two vs two yet)

A free raffle maybe or some sort of game?

 

[mart981]

Just make a new bnet account for the missus, if/when she gets bored of it, pass the account onto someone else.

If anyone feels very generous please please any chance of grabbing an invite? At the moment I'm resigned to watching videos on youtube

just send my a trust message thank you.

Yeah i've created an account. missus, flatmate and a chap from work all wanna play it, so either way its win
when they get bored.. which they probably will after a few days, i'll msg a few of you.

I hear the Chinese x5 AI is quite challenging

I got another one, "invite a friend key"

i suggest you bug your friends who have got one already.

How are you finding beta so far?

The only feedback i seem to ever see is nabs complaining about things that are "srsly OP" when in reality they just havn't countered it correctly... be nice to get some feedback from people that have a brain!

Also, add me if you fancy a game or something, Have no friends at the moment social reject!

I would love a key if anyone gets one spare.

I keep getting keylogger warnings from my AV on the ones I download. So I've decided I can't be bothered and will either wait for a key or the retail

 

[Kreeeee]

Just overwrite and rewrite as and when needed, i rarely use more than 4, even late game, micro has never ever been an issue for me. pretty good at it. i just slack a little with my macro at times ^^
normally separate casters/ability units from those hotkeys as and when needed.

for the rest i use my mouse.

Although im still yet to experiment fully with the new key abilities that wernt in sc:bw.. or at least that i didn't know about.

Sounds incredibly ineffective to me.

You should have your units in about 3 groups for effective manouvering rather than all units in one ineffective lump, and 2/3 for spellcasters, special units etc.

works for me so far thats how i ran it in sc:bw too
do most of the micro with my mouse, i find moving in groups.. not ineffective, but inaccurate. possibly something im just not used too

In gold league at the moment, rank 9 i think (or was last night) i dont think thats too bad! Won more games recently, now i've got used to build orders, scouting methods and counters.

still yet to experiment with infestors properly, nor the other zerg flying unit, brood lord? *shrugs*

love the new size of Ultramooses though, they'z BIG!

EDIT: add me, we play some gaames, if you fancy it that is! - Luxotico.pork
