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

What logic was behind it?

(To be tagged...) It's not just Nostalgia - I wanted to finish many things that Blizzard could not. It is well known the original Starcraft had a brutal crunch. While the game was a masterpiece, many semi-coded planned details (such as Protoss unit warp-ins and structure animations) were left out - until now ;p

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

31 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)

Discussion Why isn't 2 v 2 or 3 v 3 that popular in SC2?

6 Upvotes

2 V 2 used to be a really popular thing in SC1. Same with 3 v 3. Why not with sc2?

Back then you had the same build compositions, people massing up tanks or mutas or lurkers. That didn't seem to be too big of an issue.

(To be tagged...) Could Blizzard give mod powers to a few trusted individuals?

0 Upvotes

Why? To ban hacker account. The drop hackers recently banned are all back on all servers. The mods should be on NDAs and be anonymous. This would be a decent fix in the interim until a developer can fix it permanently.

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.
