NEW SICK!! SC2 trailer LOTV

--- Nuked ---

Didn't find it that "gay and predictable". I thought we'd get more of the same with Zeratul acting like a prophet, acting all wise n shit. Instead we got a "brawl" small little skirmish, a Zealot "sacrificing" his life vs the 3 banelings to protect the Pylon being warped in. Pretty cool

cool story bro

can someone run me through sc2 exp2 storyline? what happens to kerrigan and shit

basically this

Sweet

the high templar turning archon to fight the ultra was dope

I can't articulate how bad this is but here's a try

these people are all just "units" right? not characters?

the BW intro actually introduces dugalle and stukov

maybe it's because I'm terran but basically all that happens in this cinematic is someone warps in a pylon, except in a way that looks like it was directed by zack snyder, I don't find that compelling at all, particularly as the game will probably be bad again.

why does the archon look so metal/corporeal when such a fuss in this cinematic is about the pylon being gamelike? the archon is too defined, it looks like any other protoss, it's supposed to be a ball of energy right? why do the zerg look so feeble like those tiny dinos that killed dennis nedry?

I mean it's just so obnoxious for a goddamn pylon to be the climax of the video when you make 50 of them every game. did they have to put it in just because the people who watch this couldn't fathom how the protoss could warp an army without using a pylon's energy field? because if that's the case it looks like pylon's energy field is way too wide. you might say santafairy, that's nitpicking, my point is they nitpicked first by shoving this pylon in my face like we're retarded, so why nitpick if they don't want to get it right. it would be like if the opening cinematic of WoL was an SCV finishing a fucking bunker rush. literally the opening cinematic of the final chapter of SC2, previously the most anticipated game ever, is "you must construct additional pylons." this is the creative legacy of Blizzard Entertainment, comrades.

Have to agree though
Compared to previous cinematic work of Blizzard this is one of the weakest

Q: "When do I get to see a "Starcraft" movie full length hollywood style?"
A: "Warcraft a couple movies about it, then buildup, promos to SC another 7 years so probably in 15 years."

Great. I'll be close to 60 years old by then. Thanks Blizzard

I enjoyed it, I bet this expansion will fix some serious game play issues and give it a fresh feel. Is there any shout casts for some of recent game play?

maybe some day blizzard will actually make a game that looks this awesome

any of you guys still play SC2?

i've started to get back into it lately. add me on there if you'd like: TiMMaY

How is the sc2 scene now adays? It has really low numbers on twitch compared to WoL times.
Hopefully blizz will get into WC4 after lotv cus it doesn't seem like SC2 will ever recover

NERD ALERT!

----------

Regarding the game trailer, it looks cool, but it doesn't get me excited enough to want to play the game again. After playing 50 games of the SC2 beta, I stopped playing the game completely and never looked back.

It just doesn't have the appeal that SC/BW had for me as a teenager.

that vid was pretty cool. and yea archon was definitely sick.

i realised i have pre-ordered already, damn it

i ve aslo heard there were 3 mission "demo" available with these pre-orders, any idea where?

heroes of the storm any good?

Heroes is actually very fun to play. I suggest you try it. You take out the stress of DotA and take in the fun of Blizzard lores. They have different maps compared to other MOBAs as their competitive format (kinda like SC maps), so it is pretty nice to get the variety in a different way.

the GSL when casted by Tasteless and Artosis is amazing

I also enjoy watching WinterSC stream

only annoying thing about heroes is, if you are not in the right mmr range, you will be teamed with a shitload of terribad players

Nah he s right I played a bit got to rank8 or something and i was getting matched with retards only and dropped to rank 15-16 thats like 16 losses at least in a row. The game is quite easy to play and concepts to grasp. Considering i was at 2.4k ELO @ LoL and having played with super toxic ppl I'd say the HoTS matchmaking system is terrible

"sick"

--- Nuked ---

We could discuss that for pages and it wouldn't mean a thing unless we re aware of how the MMR system is built as what you've wirtten is the very basic and its probably much more complex. The facts as i see them are this :
- I'm a critical thinker and taught myself to be non toxic moba player ( not blaming others improves ur winrate by at least 2bb/100 )
- I was able to go from Silver 1 to Diamond 2 in LoL where the community is pure toxicity you got people blaming other people every game and a referee telling everyone to calm down and start playing instead. While doing that I've most certainly thrown a bunch of games, but the only way to progress is to note mistakes and not repeat them
- HoTS community on the other hand is quite decent and there are rarely trolls or flamers and such
- I've had two sick downswings of 10games+ in a row loses where I've dominated my opponents hard however the people cant grasp the concept of OBJECTIVES in the game even if you beg them to.
- I've never had such a downswing in LoL eventhough I've made tons of more mistakes as the game is shitload harder as well

That being said I could as well say that the other major problem is HoTS is grealy unbalanced there are like 10 top tier characters and others are very behind - at least when I played it the broken champs mostly required good skill to perform well so that balanced it out to a level

this is a SC2 thread dammit!!

stop with the HOTS stuff

sorry didnt wanna start and derail with the whole mmr debate

since it is my first moba (except 10 games in dota when it was still a wc3 funmap), im not used to the whole team thing and im there are certainly things that bother me more in hots than just bad play. I do believe though that i am the player with the best understanding of the game in most teams i play these days, but thats not that hard in the 2000 mmr range so it doesnt count for much...

But I am definitely guilty of playing worse in bad teams. But then again D3 Season 4 started so I just farm daily quests these days in heroes

Since I am guilty of the derailment, I will write some on topic.


The way I understood it in the video, the archon is not a ball of energy since it maybe lost it's shields from the damage it took? A small energy shield is short of shown for 1 second right after transformation

However, you are right the video is not very accurate. I mean whats the wormwhole thing, when the archons disappears with the ultra? But I think blizz videos were never accurate, nor made any mense, nor need they to. I mean why would 1 single viking land directly in front of an ultra (see hots trailer) :D. And I think zerg definitely had more than 200 supply in some broodwar videos...

Personally I dont think these videos need to be accurate. I just want some good graphics (blizzard never disappoints) and some sort of action. To sum up: i like it!
