Just talked to Yoshi and he was banned for raging.

Will be back before Panda.

 

[TheThunder]

Link? I have never heard this.

One of their first ever unveilings of HoTS they said that the campaign is gonna be 8-10 missions less than WoL, but that was in 2011 or early 2012 so a lot could've changed from then.

 

[ZealousD]

(Both of these mean nothing so why are you bringing them up?)

Basically just demonstrating that I am not a "newcomer" and that my playtime would have been faster than the average.

Squirtle joins LG-IM

[Aaron]

It was either them or azubububu. Kespa teams didn't seem interested in him.

Will there be VODs? I'm at work

no doubt, i was hoping to lose

HotS story/new trailer spoilers:

Spoiler

So it looks like Kerrigan gets turned into a human at the end of WoL, but still wants revenge on Mengsk, and the Terrans (aside from Raynor's crew?) end up coming after her, so she says fuck it and goes back to the Zerg to stay alive and to allow her to get Mengsk, also because the Terrans still consider her Zerg. Is that what anyone else got from it?

Yup, http://en-gb.twitch.tv/connsi/b/370892413

 

[PhoenixDark]

Thanks, will watch tonight!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Wow!

TaeJa knocked out viOLet 3-1 and Polt straight swept HerO in the Showdowns for MLG Dallas.

 

[Aaron]

I watched Polt vs HerO. Wasn't even close. Polt's multitasking and micro were off the charts. Didn't even do anything fancy. Just the solid control that makes the best terran look unbeatable.

 

[Aylinato]

GAF night tonight!!!!! Need someone else to lead ill be playing broomball.

No doubt HOTS will boost playing and viewer numbers. They will just drop off again if the game disappoints though. Hopefully blizzard keeps adding stuff and getting balance somewhat decent.

Fuck that, Blizzard needs to make having mechanically and strategically interesting matchups priority number one. The golden era of WoL was when Terran was obviously OP, but that didn't stop MMA vs DRG from being amazing to watch.

Yeah i agree with that and i've stated my opinion about that on here before (that making matchups interesting is more important than balance). If anything the most important thing to me is making teams better able to defend in small numbers and encouraging more harass and less death ball 1A syndrome.

Still waiting for that siege tank buff lol.

 

[fanboi]

The also need to add more to the community ingame... like stream client etc.

 

[Aaron]

Not that I was using it, but my battle.net account is fucked. Blizzard sent me an e-mail about it being locked for suspicious activity, so I go to the site and go through the account reset stuff, which is supposed to end with them sending me an e-mail... which never arrives. Tried multiple times, I have no filters that would block the e-mail, and this whole thing started from the e-mail they sent me. Try to submit a case for my inability to log in AND THEY WANT ME TO LOG IN.

I can buy SC2 for cheap and create another account, but it's pretty terrible support they have there.

Edit: I log out of my e-mail, and log back in, and there they all are over two days. WTF.

Lol well i guess we can dream .

[The Lamonster]

Where is a good place that I can get recent exciting SCII replays? And where do I drop a replay file after I download it?

 

[zeox]

is there a neogaf group? I could really use some practice before a tournament I have coming up this weekend. I haven't played it a while T_T

as for replays, I use http://drop.sc/ and love it.
you drop them here: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\SOMENUMBER\SOMEOTHERNUMBER\Replays\Multiplayer

there is usually a shortcut for specific accounts in the Starcraft II folder

EDIT:
looks like drop.sc isn't as active as it used to be. this list will probably be of some use: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Replay_Websites

[Xamdou]

So lvl each race to lvl 5 in the SC: HOTS beta to get the exclusive avatar for the actual game right?

yep

 

[Xamdou]

yep

Got protoss to lvl 5 but it didn't have an unlock pop-up, this normal?

 

[Mr Cola]

ah a freshly installed sc2, is there any site that gives beta keys for hots with a pre-order? Id love to get in on it pre release to sharpen up

 

[EscapingJail]

Got protoss to lvl 5 but it didn't have an unlock pop-up, this normal?

yes its normal it doesnt unlock in the beta. unless you get to level 30.

But it'll unlock in retail if you get to lvl 5 in the beta

 

[Xamdou]

Cool, thanks for clarifying!

Also for SC2 single player, game saves are hosted on the battle.net server?

 

[J2d]

I didn't know about the avatar.. how long until the beta is over? I might have to start playing.

 

[Deadman]

Ends on the 1st of march.

 

[xmShake]

Hosted locally (in your documents)

 

[Chris R]

Cool, thanks for clarifying!

Game saves are local, but progress in the campaign is on the server. Things NOT stored on the server though are your in-between mission purchases like upgrades and mercs (so wait until you are about to play a mission to do all the buying/research).

Agh, I need to reinstall Starcraft these trailers are just too good.

So now they can punish their long term fans who didn't get into the beta even more . Thanks blizz. Thankfully i don't care about avatars or being in the beta but it still seems like a dick move.

You can get in by preordering, any "long term fan" would have got in by now.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Are you serious? I don't usually pre-order games especially when i don't know when i will actually have the time to play it, i don't think that precludes me from being a "long term fan".

I guess it's similar to giving out a free bonus to people who pre-order your game but i still don't really like it. I'm not really worried about it, i'll still just be running with my usual baneling, zealot or scv portrait lol.

Comon dude this is neogaf, and we are in the starcraft thread. Most "fans" of any game on gaf would preorder to play the beta of almost any game they were hyped up to play.

Either way it's not that big a deal.

Doesn't mean it's a requirement. I'll admit though that i'm more excited about watching then playing.

I know lol.

 

[Mr Cola]

i forget could you preload wol?
