I'm back after my week in Jamaica ;)

Had a few games on the new patch and only won one out of all my placement matches. I selected experienced and got matched with people who said they were in gold league before!? (I was in bronze)

Someone tried to reaper rape me as protoss yesterday but they took too long and didnt know my zealots had charge addon :)

I like some of the new maps but would like the old ones to be available for 2vs2 aswell. Someone said about multiple vomiting on hatcherys, that would be stupid as would make it so easy for zerg. Just get 3 or 4 hatcheries per base instead. I remember in SC1 I would sometimes have blocks of 9 hatcheries together

That would take away the whole point of Queens tbh...
And would make Zergs unable to outmacro any other race.. with Protoss' Chrono boost and Terran with their MULES/Reactors.. which in turn, makes Zerg slightly pointless when they can't mass without spending 300 minerals extra for each hatchery..

Do you have Steam? I rarely use MSN anymore.

But with terran and protoss you need to build gateways, stargates etc which cost extra. I dont really know how the energy thing works though. All I do with protoss is map nexus 1 to ctrl5, nexus 2 to ctrl6 etc then go through them and use up all the boost of each.

It would be no different than if the zerg player macro'd the queens perfectly*




*assuming 1 queen per hatch

As Zerg you still need to build Hydra dens, roach warrens, baneling nests, spires, ultra dens, lurker things, etc. But all your units come out of one building the Hatch, which means you have to make a compromise between army and economy. You do not need to make this compromise with any other race.

On top of that the Zerg can only build when they have larva waiting to be built. So if there is no larva on the floor there can be no new units (larva takes 15 seconds to spawn IIRC up until 3 have spawned then 30 seconds to spawn 4 more after a vomit).

hi there lads i play zerg and i am struggling to cope with the mmm ball
ive tried roach hydra infestor and pritty much everything i can think of
ofc broadlords is the ultimate counter but dont always get time to tech all

i go roach hydras and often struggle to counter immortals with stalkers and
sentries as back up ofc mutas are good but like i said with stalkers and sentries
its hard... again would just like ur thoughts

thanks a lot for ur time

No idea, which gamestop did you order it from, a euro one or the main site?

The site just says:

Online Customers (web delivery): A code and instructions on how to join the beta will be emailed within 1 business day of when your order was placed.

Some guy in Sweden on teamliquid.net says that individual stores get given a certain number of keys to give out with pre-orders. So it's not really clear how many they have to give away online or from each shop.
 
Ah, thanks for that - I must have missed that bit. I ordered with the main site, as I understand it I think I can cancel up until the point I receive the beta code, so I guess I'll wait a day or so and then try my luck with the euro one.
 
Well you may get a US key so if that's a problem you may want to cancel and try one of the euro stores, in that thread someone else mentions a Norway store. May be worth trying to email one of the EU Gamestops to preorder from, if you want a EU beta key anyway.

Wow, thats pretty terrible - I didn't even consider that was going to be an issue for a title like SC2, so didn't check. Will cancel the pre order asap.

That is just unbelievably stupid =/
 
Last Q&A with Dustin Browder I saw.

Playing on different gateways: Blizzard is not planning on allowing players to play on different server upon release, so things will be the same as they are in beta right now.

So get ready to buy 3 copies of the game if you want to play on US, EU and Asian or compete in tournaments in those regions :eek:

or I'm guessing you'll be able to unlock access to those regions via some form of micro transaction on Battlenet 2.0. Anything cheaper than buying an extra copy or two of the game and being able to keep one ID would be good anyway.
