Never played the first. I am playing through the single player now and its pretty fun. Not even gonna try online till I beat the game lol.

you will find advanced challenges to be immensily hard. I cant even pass the one with ghosts :( i kill 70(out of 125) people before time runs out

oh new patch ..

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty - Patch 1.0.2

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where campaign mission victories would not always trigger properly.

Fixed an issue where some players were unable to access single-player features.

heh.

use the time before you hit ready to look for the highest zerg areas that you can hit easly then with the ghosts after you started the challenge as soon as you hit cloak on the ghosts move all of them to different places on the map and launch nukes 1 after the other then use the ravens to set auto turrents and seeker missles.

Just bought the game today :D.. Installing it as I type this :).

EDIT: This sucks a**, I installed it just fine, but I cant update it; it says do I want to update it, I click Ok and it does nothing except keep trying to load the game..

REDIT: Works now.. :p

Thanks i will try that!

I've finally completed the sp. It was a blast. It indeed has evolved compared to it's predecessors.

Oh and last mission was hard...i had only a few units left (battlecruiser, few captured zergs, scv and few soldiers), and

artifact

had 80 or so lives when it reached 100% :D The last few percentages were intense!!!!

LOL Anaron. I played SC a few days prior to buying my copy of SC2 and the experience was decent. Like you said, the graphics are...my goodness... I found it hilarious that I found these graphics amazing back when I was like 10 but I wasn't hard to impress at the time. :D

I'm still in the practice league; getting my feet soaked. :) I'm not very good but I put up a fight nonetheless. I'm a Pro-Protoss Macro player. If you are interested in befriending me and inviting me to any league games, feel free. My IGN is the same as my forum name, "Skulltrail". I have a mic as well.

i'm up for 3v3 or 4v4

I'll go!! Seriously though, I'll give it a shot. I haven't the most experience but I don't think I'm bad.. and I'm a quick learner.

I totally suck lol..but I'll try!

I'm complete suck 63 Bronze so if anyone is up for noob games hit me up.

killmaster84[@]gmail.com

Anaron, im in if you want. You have me already on sc2.

So im down for 3's or 4's.

Awesome! Check your inboxes. :)

If its 13", you should be fine with medium/high settings, but if its 15" screen, then just medium should be fine.

Umm, what does the screen size have to do with performance? It's the resolution that matters and most 15" laptops have the same ****ty 1280x800 resolution as 13" laptops

1280X800

With that card I guess a custom setting between Medium and High

Awesome! Check your inboxes. :)

I'll join in!

Well, I can't stand playing on my laptop on a resolution that is not native. ;)

I understand and agree with that, what I meant is that the resolution is not related to the screen size. There are 13" laptops with 1920x1080 screens (Sony VAIO Z :wub:) and 15" laptops with 1280x800 screens (most of them, especially the sub-$800 kind).

Hey guys, I need some advice on a technical difficulty I'm experiencing. My PC sometimes goes into an irrecoverable sleep mode while running SC2. Hard reset is the only solution to get it out of "coma" :D It has cost me a couple of HDD check ups and a full RAID1 check up already.

Good point. (Y)

Sounds like you're having the overheating problem.

Bought the digital download this afternoon and after (finally) getting it installed, I go to the initial login screen in SC2 and it keeps telling me there is a problem with Battle.net. Anyone else having this problem? I can't even get into a SP game.

edit: nevermind, finally logged in.

Sounds like you're having the overheating problem.

My temps are fine. I'm running a 3870 with a zalman cooler.

The thing is, it never happens during the game. It only happens when I leave the game in the menu/console.

I finish a b.net battle, go for a smoke, and come back 2 minutes later (too early for my windows sleep setting to kick in) only to find my PC in permanent state of non-responsiveness :D

That's the over heating problem.. it only happens in menus.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
