  1. [hide=bigquote]

    I jsut lost 5 ladder games in a row and im fuming. I play random and I spawn zerg, my worse race, four time and each time was versus Terran. I can't believe how [bleep]ing imbalanced that matchup is. Zerg is always on the goddamn back foot and has to correctly respond to each thing terran does or else you lose automatically. And the one time terran has to respond (when he sees fast muta), if he has a well placed scout terran can make a [bleep]ing engineering bay and turrets before your mutas can even arrive. I tried everything in that matchup and NOTHING WORKS.

     

    I think you're just bad at Zerg. Or maybe I just get bad Terran opponents. When I play random, I typically have no trouble dealing with Terran as Zerg. Sometimes I just get flat-out outplayed, but that happens with every race for me.

     

    The game is really more balanced than most people want to admit. Maybe right now it looks like Terran has the edge, but throughout the beta I noticed a similar pattern. At the beginning, it was Mutalisks that were widely regarded as "unstoppable." The Stalker really hasn't changed much. Photon Cannons and Missile Turrets barely changed at all. What it took was people realizing that Missile Turrets costing 100 instead of 75 is OK, because they do better now, and Photon Cannons still do their job, and Stalkers were better than everyone gave them credit for. Then there was proxy reapers - the mathematically impossible to stop build. Which of course isn't true anymore since people realized it's perfectly okay to skip the first Zealot and rush to Cybernetics Core, then chrono-boost out a Stalker seconds after the Reaper arrives. There was a Planetary Fortress Rush phase too. And a phase where Psionic Storm was useless. And a phase where Thors were too big to do their job (in fact, Blizzard shrank them, but, ironically enough, I've frequently seen Thors being used to block up choke points such as an opposing ramp during an attack, a purpose for which a larger Thor would actually be better). A phase where Hellions were useless.

     

    The way people play the game changes - people discover new strategies, which in turn, shift the balance of the metagame.

    Try playing as protoss against a bioball :< Damn that stuff is tough to beat, by the time i've teched to collossi, they're all up in my base, killing my guys :(

    Still trying to find an effective tactic against the bioball.

     

    Psy storm, if your micro can keep up try to feedback on the dropships. Merge your templars into archons and if they get close enough there is going to be terrible terrible damage.

     

    Archons are actually not that bad.

  2. Disgusting? Ladies and gentlemen, you maybe staring at the solution to world hunger. If those things can breed...well like rats, then there are no more worries about world hunger!

     

    Let us all feast on rat things!

  3. Mod Chris L said it is possible to kill the boss without losing a single LP

     

    aka L2Play :P

     

    It's possible to kill the corporeal beast without loosing a single LP. It doesn't mean it's plausible :razz:

     

    I don't think he is joking, yes if you take RNG into account it is possible, but the way he said it I believe there is some sort of mechanic we did not find out yet.

  4. Lep, you are raging a bit too hard, just a tad.

     

    Oh? Do you actually LIKE this update? It brought absolutely nothing to the game except 12 more floors which basically just have different graphics.

     

    Are you saying you hate it?

     

    I honestly cannot comment on it because I have not played it before, the rewards are disappointing to me, I will admit that. However the amount of nerd rage you have just shown in that one post is not proportional to the update. Is a good update according to my friends, but not great, but it is definitely not terrible.

  5. I saw that video, it was a leak and I am afraid it would give people a bad first impression. So could you take it down? :s

     

    Things to note

     

    Devs turned on godmode so NPC cannot see you

    The annoying glow can be turned off

    Dev is critting on the NPCs and therefore the big numbers.

     

    Also no it does not look like WoW at all.

     

     

    Also dodge roll is confirmed, it is not a skill, it is just a button press. Kind of like in fps games.
