Starcraft II Beta-cruisers

[Careface]

Got into the gold league in 4v4 :/

Is the placement based on win/loss ratio (only won 3 of the 5) or my personal scores in the games?
I suck, don't wanna be this high up while still learning ha

 

[Ded]

What with the addition of Diamond and removal of Copper, Gold is the new Silver league, so don't worry too much. 3 out of 5 sounds about right (4 out of 5 being Platinum, 5 out of 5 being Diamond etc)

If you suck enough, it'll kick you down a league

 

[Careface]

I just got the ultimate cheese done, mass cannons outside my base (like 30+), took out his main and had 5 expansions to his one but couldnt be fucking arsed.

Hate dickheads to do that kind of shit, should learn to play properly >_>

 

[Lebuff]

[Careface]

Downloading this as I type, didn't actually realise there was any stuns in this game for the ultra to be immune to :<

 

[Ded]

Wat? This mean the beta is back soon?

Also, yeh.. not sure what they mean by stuns.. I know one move can root units, Fungal Growth.. maybe they mean that?
Dark Archon in SC: Brood War could stun, so it might be a future addition..

 

[Careface]

Yeah, at the moment I can't think of a single unit that stuns.

Only things I can think of is fungal growth and concussive shot from marauder but they're roots and movement impairing/slow effects, not actually stuns >_<

 

[Mystara]

Maybe a single-player only unit....

Thinking of toss units that sort of have stuns we know of the Phoenix Grav Beam shouldn't work given that an Ultralisk is counted as Massive. The Sentry's Force Field gets smashed by Massive units too so no dice. High Templar used to have a Banish effect on one mob. Might be back and classed as a stun instead.

 

[Snorri]

thor special attack ? cant remember what that did

 

[Mystara]

'The thor can only target one unit, which it does continually, stunning the target for a short period of time while inflicting 500 damage'

Snorri wins a prize

Apparently SC2 cost over $100 million to make..

That WoW money has to go somewhere I suppose!

 

[Mystara]

Don't be silly. The money went into Activi$on's pocket....

 

[Ded]

Not really done a beta before, so I dunno.. but should I uninstall SC2 beta now it's over? Or is it worth keeping to save installation time of the full game (if it even works like that)?

 

[Merlijn]

I think saving the Beta installation is rather useless

 

[Lonei]

HoN used the beta as a client and just upgraded it to retail, so there's no harm keeping it till the game is actually released if you ask me. Not unless you need the disk space anyways.

[Merlijn]

[Zermo]

Cool people bought it at midnight launch.
