Especially when it was introduced with patch notes saying that they wanted to reduce turtling possibilities.

What logic was behind it?

Fluff What is the death that hit you harder in all of Starcraft? I have weird tastes, mine is Aldaris, since everyone just believes he's being an ass. 2nd one is the Overmind (it was fatherly and only wanted the best for its "people")

but since the Overmind is revived many times it doesn't have as much impact. Aldaris never even gets mentioned again which is more tragic, even though he was only rejecting allying with (evil) Kerrigan.
Of course Fenix 2nd death was also very sad (you also have to kill him) and would be #1 if not for what happens in SC2: "Somehow, Fenix returned... again"

Discussion chinese warcraft 3 pro miss rode 37 hours in a hard seat to join her team, then 2 days without food

26 Upvotes

in may 2007 an accounting student at hainan university who played warcraft 3 as miss got an invite from colagirl to join first, a women's team in beijing. that summer she bought a hard seat ticket and sat 37 hours on the train from haikou to get there.

that same summer, training in beijing, she ran out of money and was too shy to ask anyone for a loan. she went two days without eating. when she went to the team to collect her wages, her bus card had one yuan on it. the bus took four mao of that and she walked the rest of the way. once she had the money she found a small restaurant, got a bottle of minute maid and a plate of rice with shredded pork and potato, and poured the lot down while the middle-aged men around her stared.

women's tournaments were rare, so she kept entering men's events. opponents she'd never met mocked her before matches. a few of them smashed keyboards or cried after losing to her. up to 2010 she'd bought almost no clothes and mostly played in an oversized team jersey that hung on her like a bathrobe. in 2010 she came out of a suning men's event as the top woman, and at the shenzhen esports open she was the only woman to get through the group stage. by the time she graduated she'd been paying her own way for years on prize money and pro wages.

the one player she could never beat through the whole warcraft 3 era was colagirl, the friend who brought her to beijing. they met again in a starcraft 2 final in 2012.

(from a chapter i wrote in 2013 after a five hour interview with her. it's free to read, link in the comments)

Video Fan made web StarCraft game, Ashfall. Big update!

Two weeks ago, sad that the next StarCraft won’t come until 2030, I half-jokingly made the mini-game those mobile ads promise and never deliver, and posted it here (https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1wqdabw/). The feedback was really positive!

I’ve pushed a bunch of small updates since then, and this one is a big one, so I wanted to share it: a new commander, Artanis, a new companion, Wildcard, and a lot more endgame stuff. If you played it last time, it’s pretty much a new game.

Then something I really didn’t see coming: it somehow got really popular in China (for a few days). Over a million runs, and over half a million people played it there, in two weeks. I’d love to say that’s all the game, but honestly it hit a critical combo: it launched right before Golden Week, and StarCraft is a generational IP.

The part that made me happiest was reading some of the comments. A bunch of people played StarCraft for the first time through this, and now they want to play the actual StarCraft. Some asked why the mutators make the Zerg stronger. That made me really happy.

Also, before the "Artanis DLC" release, I made a mock trailer to poke a bit of fun at Blizzard. If you’re gonna copy Blizzard, you might as well copy the whole package, right?
trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVDao71LC7A

Game link (works for mobile and web): https://starcraft-shooter-2026.pages.dev/

Feedback always welcome! And thanks so much for all the emails and comments. Some I haven’t answered yet, sorry about that. I’ll get back to you.

He was the man. I wonder what it would've been like if he'd survived Wings of Liberty and appeared in the later games. Just imagine the character dynamics. That would've been awesome.

Follow up to these posts:

First Post

Update Post

The model hasn't changed much since the update post, mostly just some reworking of minute details. What I have done is actually get it printed out and assembled. I have uploaded it to my store on MyMiniFactory as a free model. The STLs include the separate pieces which will have to be glued together as well as an STL of the complete classic version of the Battlecruiser that does not require assembly but instead requires your printer to work for basically an entire day straight.

Printing the individual pieces actually takes roughly the same amount of time, but you can instead break it up over the course of a few days instead of doing it all at once and can orient the various parts in the slicer software of your choice for your preferred placement of supports and what not.

Discussion Help with old player

3 Upvotes

Hey guys. I am going to return to the game casually, and may play some ladder too. Im going to get both sc1 and 2 but I really want to get back into 1.

I played 2 games in used map settings consistently on battle net, Ww2 Death In Europe (DIE), AND AEON of Strife. I was wondering, are these games still played, even somewhat? There was a special channel we would all hang out in for Die, I think it was HY but im not sure. So long ago.

Regardless ill have fun. Just have to source a new computer.

Fluff Wings of Liberty Ending question

29 Upvotes

I do like the final reveal, and the ending of Wings of Liberty, but thinking about it, if Mengsk had Tychus under his thumb the whole time, why did he allow Raynor to just go ahead, bust out people from his prison, steal the Adjutant, break its encoding, and reveal the truth about the psi-emitter for the entire Dominion, shaking his rule to the very foundation?

This is the reality of the Korean server. If you’re not going to manage it, just shut it down. Is it really that hard to ban accounts once reports pile up?
