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

I'm making offers of hovis pictures and nothing man :/ unless you got a mate with a key the chances seem pretty bleak!
 
Gave my last invite a friend code away already. Only a week left of beta til they bring it down for 'several weeks' though.

The way bnet is screwed up at the moment though I wouldn't be suprised if they close it down early.

i already have and blizz say they know about it but give little info of when it will be fixed other than "it will be fixed when it's fixed" , getting ready to cancel my pre-order of sc2 . a few things i do not agree with , one being to add friends easy is to add them via facebook or get their email address . i find this odd that we are going to be force to do it this way , i will never use facebook and it could be unsafe to give your email out to just anybody . also it is annoying in the beta forums when people say well it is a beta , it is like we are all stupid and we know nothing

Ugh...my last 6 or so games have all lagged out, forcing me to 'surrender' or kill the SC2.exe process. The connection was flawless pre-Patch 13. :rolleyes:

They were hours apart (in hopes that it'd be sorted each time) and occurred at very different times in-game. Once happened about 45 mins into a really epic 1v1 match that I was just about to win. :(

But, yeah . . . it's just that I've become so addicted to this. :D

Ok I am struggling TvP.

I am mid gold player. Problem is that early scout scoutin of protoss reveals early gateways (normally 2). Which forces me to amass a decent ground army. If he sticks with ground then OK no problem however its SO easy for toss to transition into VR. Terran anti air is terrible, unless I have a starport pumping vikings then its GG. I dont see what on earth I can do. VR rush is so effective as even with the range reduction, VR massacre rines if attacking on cliff edge. As soon as i start to build turrets then its GG as i'm just sinking minerals into something other than army.

even if you don't scout it, i find it really useful to pop out a fairly early starport to get a medivac out for early drop harass etc. that way you've got something ready to churn out 2 vikings to counter the VR and you can still pump marauders from your 2-3rax

I don't know if its just me but vikings aint that great against toss 2 vikings vs 2 VR and = 1 VR with half health. For some reason kiting doesnt really work. This is because as soon as the VR gets its beam attack on the viking, even if the viking runs away the attack carries on untill viking dead.

Any other ideas team?

p.s. tried playing 3 P v T games to see what works against it and got three easy wins. Felt so cheap but at least its not just me :D

2 Vikings can rip 2 VR's to shreds, just needs a bit of micro. Vikings have 9 range, VR's have 6 now i believe?.. just shoot once and back off, repeat, if they keep coming, more fool them. Meanwhile your macroing a bunch of MMM and tanks =]

Generally speaking though, protoss will go immortal, and the counter for that is ghosts with your 3M and tank mix. EMP really silences anything protoss have to offer really.
 
I'm not very good at the game myself, but do you ever find that you spend a lot of time microing and going back to macro only when you remember?
 
Get ghosts and marines. Shuts down void rays pretty well, Gretorp recently made this strat popular and it works very well. EMP the VRs and let the marines do most of the damage, although ghosts do very good damage as well. Build a bunker to get an extra bit of range on the VR too.
 
was just in a 4 vs 4, abot 20 minutes in, it was going to be an epic game, teammates were building mainly air units so i masses stalkers, zealots and dark templar. Then it just came up with "you have been dropped" ******* fantastic. I neally put my hand through my screen
