Did you beat any of the diamonds? and what is your record? If your record is 50/50 you wont play diamonds as often or if they are diamond very crappy ones.

I am almost top 10 with my diamond 3v3 team, and we lost about 20 games and won about 70 now.

Yeah 'fixed' matchmaking. I am barely 2v2 gold (ond only really got there cause of some REALLY lucky games where I beat plat guys) ANd I got matched vs diamond players 3 times in a row.

In my experience, the more you play the more you get even matches. Battle.net seems to "test" you when you begin, but after 100 games or so I don't get matched with godly players or complete newbies anymore.

Currently struggling to break into Diamond league. Been 1st in Platinum, downgraded to 15th or so in the next matches. I really need to develop some coherent game plans and better macro.

Yeah as Dr. said game needs more then about 100 games to fully recognize where you belong.

Is it right? Sure as hell not, but not much you can do about it.

After 650 games for me im 50/50 ratio almost. Playing diamonds only, sometimes occasional gold casue they are testing them besides that right where we should be.

Are there people with insane win records from cheating hell yeah there is.

I just lost to a team that played 900 games, and won 889 of them.

Definitely not fair especially after we rushed and killed 3 of them last one had mass void that he charged off his mothership.

I just had the most epic comeback ever. I was playing 1 vs. 1 terran vs. terran on the space platform map which has the 2 spawns pretty close to each other, with an island above them. I got rushed by a bunch of marines and marauders which destroyed most of my base, so I lifted off my command center, factory and spaceport, landed on the island where the other guy couldn't follow, surrounded it with turrets and started building vikings to hold off the other player. I managed to hold off a few waves of attacks, then snuck an scv in a medivac to the bottom of the map with the gold minerals and built up another base with a bunch of starports and a couple of armories to build upgraded battlecruisers. I continued building turrets and vikings on the little island to put on a show and get the guy thinking I was stuck there since he was constantly comsat scanning me. He told me 'u r so cheap' the he finally managed to destroy my island base with a nuke and 7 battlecruisers. A few seconds later I showed up with my secret fleet of 9 fully upgraded battlecruisers from my bottom base and put him to shame :laugh: .

LOL that guy was such a moron. He could have so easily destroyed you. best part was when he sends marauders to scout every single expansion except the gold one where u were massing starports. One of them walked right by it. lmao. :pinch:

lol it happens. I was winning like almost 12 or more in a row, then all of a sudden I lost about 6 in a row lol.. Best thing is take a break, watch the replays and get better.

How the hell do I defend now against a decent 6-pool Zerg player? :(

I've been thinking about this myself, as a toss player I think the way I'm going to be trying is a temporary wall off using a pylon which I'll cancel as soon as the zealot is done. Going to have to play around a bit.

I'm a little disappointed with the patch myself, I expected something slightly more substantial than a few balance changes and some stuff that we can all live without.

Those are easy to get through. Add d at your mine field. Zerg = two spines, Protoss = 1 to 2 cannons, & Terran = Screwed lol jk.. Normally 2-4 marines will help(bunker is a plus).

I have learned to always take out them Zergs first lol

Has anyone had the problem when you try to load a saved game, it wont? Mine says something about a previous version of SC II and if I would like reload the previous or something.. Is it safe for me to click yes or shall I wait for a fix?

This is the same with replays during the beta, I guess. Its safe to load a previous version... Basically the game will shut down the current version, and launch the exe file located in Base14505 folder, instead of the now-standard Base16561 folder.

The Base14505 folder is for the vanilla 1.0 (up to 1.0.3) version and the Base 16561 folder is for the current 1.1 version.

In the future all major patches will create a folder like this one, unless Blizzard decide some time in the future to merge all folders into one (for example, once the game reaches some major version like 1.10or something like that).

This was made to fix a problem that was present (and I think still is) in Warcraft 3, where if you update the game to version 1.36 (just an example) you won't be able to watch replays made during version 1.23 (again, just an example).

Me and my buddy pretty much learned the hard way the a double 6 pool from decent zergs in a 2v2 is unbeatable. I've tried reaper bunker strat, ive tried 6 rack reaper, walling almost gets done by time it shows up.

Pretty much boned cause you will either have 2 marines no bunker, or a reaper and a bunker. Fun stuff.

However, one zerg is a sitting duck.

Reaper and Zealot proxy is still viable just have to 7 gate it to work.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
