Where did you buy your copy? I've been looking for a place to buy mine but I can only find the LA version.

I bought mine online from battle.net

It defaulted to the Latin America version but I specifically changed it to the North America one (there's like a dropdown box).

Login to your battle.net account and then go to this page:

https://us.battle.net/account/management/get-a-game.html?gameRegion=NA

Make sure the region is set to North America

The campaign is awesome!

Anyway, send me a message containing your character name and code (if it's not on the list yet). You can check your code by logging into Battle.net through SC2 and hovering your cursor over your portrait.

Did you add me yet? I don't know if you did or not.

Yes, I did. You're on my list as "Razorwing".

So glad that I never played the beta, it's been worth it. I'm lovin' the campaign so far :)

Completely unspoiled eh. I would've done that if I had the patience of a Tibetan monk. The campaign is definitely awesome though. I'm so glad Blizzard decided to enrich the stories for each race.

I just couldn't spoil myself playing a beta of one of my favourite games. Looks great on my PC as well, I'm impressed with the graphics.

So the first release is just the Terran's campaign right? Does that mean if we all go for Multiplayer, you can only pick Terran as the race unless if you've bought all 3 race campaigns separately?

Absolutely not.... the expansions are mostly single player updates. You can already play all three races with all the units online.

^ I'm on B.net (on my browser).. I only see Sikh for some reason.. I don't see you.

that's because like I told anaron and everyone earlier in the thread use REALIDs and not bnet local name.

RealIDs show up like a buddy would on your msn/aim/etc. Bnet username/char code is for local use and you only see the person online. Nothing else.

RealID =s email

Why would we want strangers to know our real names?

I have to say Blizzard really screwed up the implementation of Battle.net and Real ID to be honest. The SEA server's are horrid, the custom map scene is dead not a whole great big deal of games, and since we aussie's play on US WoW servers we can't talk to our WoW friends across servers.

Since RealID uses email what's the problem with cross region chat? Since the emails are unique across regions there won't be any collisions. At least they are going to let us Aussie transfer from SEA to the US servers within the next two months (Though at the loss of all our achievments and such and having to download the US Client *sigh*).

A prompt when it asks for your name saying this will be used in multiplayer would have been a good idea as well, i figured it was just locally, but oh well.

Apart from that it's not to bad of a game. A few design issues in the first place that could have been improved on but still.

So is it possible to find my Character Code via the battle.net website not via the game?

Never seen or heard of swoopo before, is it really legit? Some of the stuff on there looks to good to be true.

I played some 1v1's tonight against the computer as Zerg... and man, I suck really bad at zerg. I had trouble beating the computer on normal. It took me about 10 games before I finally beat it. But when I played as terran I beat it on hard without to many issues. Maybe the answer to that problem is to just play terran? The hot keys and units are so much easier to remember than zerg. :rofl:

A few questions about the game.. is there a hot key to cycle through units, like if I have 5 battle cruisers so I can use the special abilities more quickly? Same might apply to structures like barracks? If you can even group buildings together?

I'm sure I'll have more questions later.. :laugh:

    • Ignoring the fact that this "colony" kicked the empire of King George's arse during those early years... You are confusing the First Industrial Revolution (which was pulled out of some butt-hurt Brit historian's arse) with the Second Industrial Revolution (aka the Technological Revolution), which transitioned the world from the UK sailing Empire to the USA as a superpower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution
    • OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Credit: OpenAI OpenAI today announced a limited preview of its new GPT-5.6 model series, which includes the Sol, Terra, and Luna models targeting different price points. GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship model targeted at demanding reasoning and agentic workloads. GPT-5.6 Terra is positioned as a balanced model for everyday work, featuring performance competitive with GPT-5.5 while being half the cost. GPT-5.6 Luna is the fastest and most affordable model, delivering strong capability at a lower price point. Unlike previous model releases from OpenAI, GPT-5.6 is starting with a limited preview for a small group of trusted partners due to U.S. government restrictions. As expected, OpenAI previewed its plans and the models' capabilities to the U.S. government ahead of launch, and the government asked OpenAI to limit the first wave of access to select partners. OpenAI also mentioned in the official announcement blog post that it does not believe this type of government access process should become the long-term default. OpenAI highlighted that GPT-5.6 Sol comes with a robust safety stack featuring improved protections for higher-risk activity, sensitive cyber requests, and repeated misuse. The company also spent several weeks pressure-testing the system and hardening it against real-world attacks. On the capability side, as expected, GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s strongest model yet. It delivers better results in agentic performance across coding, biology, and cybersecurity. On the Terminal-Bench 2.1 benchmark, which tests command-line workflows requiring planning, iteration, and tool coordination, GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new record with a score of 91.9%, beating Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5. Additionally, GPT-5.6 introduces a new "max" reasoning effort for even deeper reasoning. The new "ultra" mode uses subagents to accelerate complex work beyond what a single agent can handle. Pricing starts at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens for Sol. Terra costs $2.50 for input and $15 for output, while Luna costs $1 for input and $6 for output. GPT-5.6 comes with more predictable prompt caching, including support for explicit cache breakpoints and a 30-minute minimum cache life. Sol will also launch on Cerebras in July at speeds up to 750 tokens per second for select customers. OpenAI plans to make GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna broadly available in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API in the coming weeks.
    • I'm not sure if you are trolling because I saw people saying this with the straight face, but there were no United States of America when industrial revolution started, just United Colonies 🤣 p.s. I'm not British, so I'm not offended.
    • Glad I uninstalled this incredibly buggy browser. Looking at that changelog, they clearly don't test their updates at all.
