It's such a rush fighting back from an underdog position when you know you're gonna lose unless you do something drastic. Then you go apeshit insane and just crush everything in your path and win.
RAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
Just did that, he wasted every expansion i made with voidrays. I nydaswormed into his base while he was busy mopping up my second base and turned his whole voidray assembly line to shit while eating up all his workers.
OK so I just watched two matches and felt inspired, so I played vs PC and won!
ego boost ftw, now onto trying with real players.
I realised my problem, I spent too much time building shit and not attacking, but since I don't know what to build when you have resources, I ended up having tons of installations and a deficit of any good units. By that time the other player, or PC, had a fuckton of Thors and the like, so when I tried rushing with infantry I go pwnt hard.
Ah so there WAS a new patch. I thought it was just a glitch when I opened from testing settings out to get it to run. New patch didn't fix it for me though. I'm starting to think I'll never be able to play SC2 on this computer.
Me and Sampson played a crazy 2v2. http://sideeffect.cgclay.com/forum/2v2%20with%20sampson.SC2Replay
2 terran vs 2 protoss
The protoss players had a crazy huge army lined up at their front entrance was really hard to break through. Their turtling cost them the game though in the end.
Just got my key from a friend at work. I admit I have never played the first one it never really appealed to me but all this chatter has drawn me in. Installed last night so if there is any super noobs can ease me in I would appreciate it!
Huh, now with patch11 I cant exit sc2 without it crashing (menu dissapears but planet background stays, have to alt-ctrl-del to get out)...On the bright side game does feel a bit more balanced now, and Ultras are no longer worthless.

!! I thought it was only me..
Well did you guys reported this bug?
The game was balanced before and still balanced.......meh what will noob know about balanced games I even couldnt figure out why pvp in wow are soo unbalanced...<.<
Exiting the game crashes it for me as well. Very annoying. It took me nearly ten minutes to get out of it properly.
Still having fun, though. It's clear I probably won't ever be in the upper echelons of the online multiplayer. I just can't seem to think or produce as quickly as my opponents.

That crashing happens for me too
BC build time has decreased, that's good. In long games I tend to go with nukes if I play as terran. BC's are good brute force unit to sweep the rest.
I'm gunna start playing it windowed for now, seems like thats a decent counter for the Menu background crash - That or alt tabbing out first, then ctrl alt deleting.
void rays still go down pretty fast with a few marines or a medium sized group of vikings
They must have patched it because the marine pack was the ultimate void ray killer. But I tried that yesterday and they got raped. Then I massed 6 bcs and 10 vikings and they got absolutely raped by around 15 rays. Both sides had +1 upgrades, so that was even, but the void rays cut through me like butter.
At that point I pretty much rage quit. I've heard that after the last void ray patch changes they don't uncharge after charging up. So once they attack and charge up they do max damage all the time, no matter what.
Marines are really the best thing vs void rays, you can't let them mass void rays, gotta hit them when you scout it. Vikings/bc's aren't too great vs them, besides the y-cannon, maybe.
damn just barly won a stale mate that took 1 hour. Had troubles taking down 2 dozen thors and abunch of air to ground units (bout a nother 2 dozon of those)

Got a replay of that? Sounds brutal.
I played today against random people (played custom games before that with friends), 4 times, won once and only because the other guy had connection problems and got disconnected. I am sure I would get RAPED. He came with an army and a bunch of seige tanks while I had a few marines and maybe a Helion, I just lifted off my base and moved to another location. It was a matter of time before he found me, but then he got disconnected.
Second time, the guy harassed me with reapers, killed a bunch of SCVs slowing me down. Ironically I was planning to do the same thing, but wasn't fast enough. Then I was suddenly called downstairs 'cause my parents had some virus threat, it was actually a pretty elaborate pop-up, I didn't realize it at once. Then I saw the IE logo (why, WHY are they using IE) and got what happened, I facepalmed, closed the window and got back just in time to see a bunch of enemy Marauders destroying my supply depot. (the only thing that was left of my base at that point)
Third time was ridiculous, the guy mined a bit and just flew over his base onto my area and quickly started turning it into a stationary base thing with the large cannon on top. I was lost for a few moments, and didn't have time to stop the progress with my SCVs. It finished and his base just killed all my SCVs but 1 or 2. I was in progress of building barracks when he transofrmed, so I tried to stop the progress with marines (I chose the two unit simultaneously thing since I didn't see it coming) but two marines at a time did JACK SHIT agains the base which killed each marine in one hit. I ran out of resources because I simply couldn't mine and just fucking ragequit.
Fourth time I got harrased by 5 reapers at once (how the FUCK did they get built so fast), they killed every SCV I had but one. I had a bunch of marines but they weren't in that corner, by the time I got the marines there the reapers did what they had to. So now I was behind in the resource collection by a few minutes, I tried making a factory and Helions and a few marauders, but then out of nowhere he comes with a ton of marines and fucking Siege tanks and just annihilates everything I had. I had a planetary fortress (built it so I could MULE), I moved it to another corner of the map. So I started off with basically no SCVs, behind by about 15 minutes of the game, luckily I had MULES. I try to build a pathetic force, but soon enough he reveals my position with a scan and it was too late to move anything. I tried to get away a second time, lifted off my base, SCVs were lost again, BUT THEN WHEN I CLICKED WHERE TO MOVE MY FLOATING COLONY I DIDN'T FUCKING CLICK THE BASE so all my other useless shit moved to another expansion locale, BUT MY FUCKING BASE STAYED. I only noticed it too late, it got destroyed by his forces. I ragequit.
vcool. if it´s any help i lost almost all my practice matches and won maybe 2 of my qualifiers. Its just recently that ive been able to tie my win/lose-ratio.
My tip is that when you find the race you love the most, check alot of videos from the pros on youtube. I started following a guy called psy (zerg). He plays like i like it. Except when he goes into carpetbombing-mode. Thats to micro for me.
I think you got to save them first, the disk-icon on the replay screen (this lets you name them). After that you can find it under "My documents" (In my case, C:\Users\Notorious P.I.G\Documents\StarCraft II Beta )
EDIT: Seems like you dont have to save it since they are under "recent" aswell. Will be a bit tricky to find which one you want though.
On an unrelated note, ive been trying to find out a bit about the damage units do.
A roach does 16 standard damage - no bonuses - So, what do they do vs Armored / Building types?
Also, researching +1 to attack/defence at Evo pool / Engineering Bay - Will the +1 to Defence be -1 to every damage incoming? so, in ZvZ a roach will now deal 15 damage to a +1 defence unit?

light/Armored/bio/building/massive/whatever doesn't affect anything unless the units attack says +6 damage bio, or whatever.
Armor is a point system, some units have armor already, and you can upgrade armor. 4 armor would means each attack gets -6 taken off of it. So lets say a zergling is attacking it, it'd barely do any damage each attack, but a heavy hitting slow firing unit like a tank, thor, collosi, would still do a lot of damage.
(zerg all ground units and buildings have the same armor type, terran has a specific one for buildings, toss shields upgrade upgrades everything, so each race is different)

Mmm, was thinking of a different kind of scourge. :P

Mr. Jack did a series of SC concepts. They're pretty much awesome.

I'm trying me best to rank above #3 copper, but blizzard won't let me!!!
Yeah, the AI is "very easy"
PS: watching SC matches is fun though.

Also first experience was this..
Buts that's what beta is for

Anyways thanks for giving me a good relief

Still waiting on a beta key too... one of the 4 left without one!
If anyone has a spare key they wouldn't mind passing along, feel free to PM it to me please
That's basically what a guy I played against did.
15 void rays = :thumbdown:
Also I crashes for me as well when trying to exit the game.
Life, couldnt get any lamer than this..................
Seems like its a really common one this time.

Look for Day 9, you can learn a lot from his shows here:

if your terran Gretorp live streams with a lot of good commentary while he plays.

So basically four of them can absolutely rape any structure easily.
