Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void

I looked up the troubleshooting forum and found that if the number in the titlebar isn't increasing, then there's an issue. So I uninstalled and got a fresh download of everything and now it's updating sequentially. So this is a better sign.

I expected it to be a little more smooth than this, but no big deal.
 
Well, fucking wonderful. I got a message about "your computer is behind a firewall." So I was working on resolving that, which is a port forwarding thing. This led me to try and connect to the web based interface, which promptly took a shit.

Tried the computer directly connected to it - same thing.

Now my whole internet connection is out.

Glorious!
 
Great screen from the reddit SC2 community

Weird, I haven't had to do any port forwarding. Only time i've ever had to do that was with the torrent of bits.
 
I don't get it, whats so great about that screenshot?

I had that issue before (Actually I still have that issue whenever there's a new patch that's huge). Anyway, the blizzard downloader seems to just assume you have a firewall on if your downloading is slow, or if it timesout (which happens alot). Patch 12 was when that problem it started for me. Every time it gives me that firewall message, i just close it and open up sc2 beta again to try and download. I've notice that each time i open though that it just slowly downloads a little more each time until completion since the download does resume.

those are hallucinated void rays. The opponent didn't know this and just left at the sight of them.

I actually thought about doing this in BW. Get one carrier, hallucinate it like 10 times, then send it at the enemy and hope he GGs out.

Eh, I pretty much have connection issues with all online gaming, with the one exception being XBL.

I'll look into it. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh wow I totally missed that. I thought they were just really blue because of the low graphic quality.
 
[quote name='jarvis307']anyone feel like giving me some pointers? i've only played 2 games. i'm using my brother's account: cunphuzd.at.gmail.com[/QUOTE]
post a replay
 
[quote name='kainzero']i want to see a replay.
he has an expo up and you have 1500 minerals in the bank so something's strange.

he probably sacrificed his probes to free up food for more voids.[/QUOTE]

I'm a n00b and he liked his voids. I didn't save a replay unfortunately. Only thought to get a screenshot. I was building up my usual mix of voids, carriers, and ground forces and then went to attack after he attacked me with like 20 probes and failed and I walked into a wall of voids.

I had this issue. I basically closed and reopened until it got going again from what I remember.



EDIT: /facepalm, I just double posted >.

you have a replay. the game saves every replay.
 
Ok, this match lasted at least 40 minutes. We both decided to play defensive. At the end, he destroyed all of my bases but one and I was holed up in this base:

EDIT: Low food upkeep because I sent my probes to their death for lols.
 
[quote name='jarvis307']i meant more in terms of getting a game with me :)[/QUOTE]

I'll be at the hospital all day tomorrow, but I plan on gorging on SC2 beta between diapers and crying baby Sunday and Monday.

I'd be happy to play with you when i get to play tho. PM me your bnet email.

You know what Warpgates are right? and whats with the triple forge?
 
[quote name='life.exe']You know what Warpgates are right? and whats with the triple forge?[/QUOTE]

Yes, and at this point I told him to wait before destroying the last base so I could warp in everything I could.
 
I like how I got to play one game lag free, and every one since has been nothing but lag filled disconnects and forced-surrenders.
 
[quote name='ZasKuLL']Yes, and at this point I told him to wait before destroying the last base so I could warp in everything I could.[/QUOTE]

You should of had warpgates researched long before you got confined to that base.
 
If you ended the game with that many minerals, and you for some reason chose to send your peons in to be destroyed.. you made a series of poor choices that resulted in your defeat.

Ohh well. I wonder if SC2 would run on my work laptop... prolly not.
 
If anyone wants to play later tonight - around 10 PM CST or later - let me know. I'm absolutely terrible so you can look forward either to A) winning in a 1v1 or B) losing in a 2v2.

Doesn't that sound just grand?

I'd play. If you could PM me your Bnet email, it's the only way to add people (unless they patched it in the last three days)
 
I really hope Bnet 2.0 is better than this at launch. At the moment I'd hardly call it an upgrade over anything that WC3 introduced, and everything takes up so much space.
 
Wow matchmaking and ranking must be completely broken or something.. I just played around 10 2v2s and they were all cakewalks. Like none of these guys knew how to go past tier 1 units or something.

Not sure if this happened to you guys, but all of my league settings got reset. I had to do placement matches all over again, and when I tried to place, it kept saying 4 placement matches left. All I can say is, I love this game, and I hope all this stuff is fixed by 7/27. They have a lot of work to do.

Situation Report
Viking- Ground damage decreased from 14 to 12.

The Viking’s damage has been reduced to make them a little less effective on the ground. Massed Vikings were a little too powerful in a few late game scenarios. Vikings have also become very dominant in terran vs. terran matches and we are testing to see if a small damage reduction will make some other units more viable.

Archon- Build time decreased from 17 to 12.

Archons can now merge a little faster so “mid battle merges” will be a little bit more practical.

Ultralisk- Anabolic Synthesis upgrade removed. - Health increased from 450 to 500.- Speed increased from 2.25 to 2.9531.

Ultralisks have been buffed to include their speed upgrade as by default and to give them a little more endurance in big fights. This may or may not be enough to get the Ultralisk ultimately where we want him to be. We will continue testing going forward.

Infestor- Burrowed move speed increased from 1 to 2.- Peristalsis upgrade removed.
Roach- Organic Carapace upgrade removed.- Tunneling Claws now also increases burrowed regeneration rate from 5 to 10.

There are many different upgrades on the zerg, the Roach and the Infestor both had three upgrades. We are reducing and combining these upgrades so the units get a little bit more powerful or so that you have to buy fewer upgrades to complete your units. We have also reduced the cost of several energy abilities on the Zerg that didn’t see a lot of use. We will continue to monitor these abilities moving forward.

2 upgrades to make near immortal roaches burrow-moving in your base mid game?
 
I'm down for some 3v3 if anyone wants...

And I'm confused why they reduced Viking ground damage when people would RARELY take them out of air mode.
 
Just got kicked out an FFA. Managed to kill one guy. Made mistake of going after a zerg instead of a protoss after that though.

Got a third somewhere?
 
My cousin Lester saw a zergling once

I'll be around that time also. Let us once again show our dominance in the silver league! :roll:
