Starcraft I & II - Kami - 03-08-2010
Starcraft!
What do you do about getting rushed? It's a bitch - especially in 2v2 games. I'm improving on not getting steamrolled right away but it still hasn't ended well for me at all. I'm trying to find that balance between troop production and expansion. I was going to try some more stuff before I laid out any sort of solid strategy.
And if you get a beta invite for SC2 (which I hope you guys do!) then my name on there is LoneOutlaw!
Starcraft I & II - Kami - 03-19-2010
I got an SC2 beta invite to send out. Please me with some visual imagery (to my inbox) and perhaps I'll send it to you.

*Snicker*
I think /b/ might have something worth sending Kami, guys.
Starcraft I & II - Kami - 03-19-2010
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I retract that statement. You get nothing. GOOD DAY SIR!

I sent him a picture of Jack shitting watermelon seeds. Do I win?
On a side note, I've heard rumor of a beta client being out there as a leak, that some of my friends have been playing, but they said the client was made to get around possible leaks - there is no AI at all in it. To handle this, some people programmed their own AI to splice into the beta, except this AI is pretty much the computer in God Mode, doing things like sending an SCV to scout your base, and if you send any unit to kill the SCV, it will, in perfect synchronization with your unit, keep at the exact distance to stay out of range of your unit, while continuing to circle and spy on your base. My friend made an entire game trying to kill that SCV, and couldn't handle the perfect reflexes of it. And then he got slaughtered by the fact that the computer had built, upgraded, and massed units with the same exact top Korean style efficiency while dodging him perfectly the entire game.

Haha wow, hadn't he figured out it only plays in response with his unit e.g. he can simply pretend he's a moron and not chase it and kill it with enough units by circling around? I've played both the leak and now the official beta and I must confess the AI is much better in the leak than the real game. That said I utterly suck versus other players and I have a huge problem with actually multitasking the task of harassing, building up and generally thinking on what strat I want to roll out with.

Well, clearly, but he wanted to see just how tight the reflexes were tuned during that run with trying to not cheat the AI by playing to its patterns and surrounding it, as a human player wouldn't do that.
Starcraft I & II - Tyr - 03-19-2010
Depends on how far in it would be, then it would be easier to surround it. Regardless the rest of the AI was pretty good but it was still edgy at some places, as it was like a wave machine. It'd sent a wave, if it killed you it'd win if not you could just counter push because 99% of the time, it would be all it had.

My current Character ID to add to your friend list is: "Chamber.dariden" or the email "symbiosychotic@gmail.com".
They'll be clearing these at some point soon, but I thought I'd get it out there, in case anyone else manages to get on to play against.
So far I've made myself do 3 random matches, and I'm 1-2. Yeah, the only one I won was the only match I wasn't favored on, and my opponent got pissed that I kept harassing him with cloaked Banshees and raged out on me. Because apparently, he really really didn't want to build detectors to possibly see cloaked stuff, thus I shouldn't be allowed to use them and instead let his Void Ray army rape me.
Starcraft I & II - Kami - 03-25-2010
My character ID is LoneOutlaw.vilgilante
Starcraft I & II - Tyr - 03-25-2010
Mine is "Krigsmaskine.krigsmaskine".
I'm not very good with names.
Starcraft I & II - Kami - 03-26-2010
If it's not broken don't fix it.
EDIT: They have reset the servers, so unless you've been on lately you'll need to remake your account name (not email)
I am now LoneOutlaw.vengance
Starcraft I & II - Ashe - 03-29-2010
My "character name" is now "Chamber.reaction"
My Real ID name (which will inform you if I'm logged on any character) is still symbiosychotic@gmail.com. This means I still have Kami on my list without having to readd him, despite him changing Characters.
Starcraft I & II - Kami - 03-29-2010
Add me as LoneOutlaw.vengance
I keep getting rocked =( I did the 1v1 placement matches (which there were five of instead of 10) and got pounded like a prison bitch 4 out of 5 times. It was horrible! I was expecting to do better...but geeze. Makes me not want to play multiplayer at all, even if I do get placed with people of similar skill.
Starcraft I & II - Ashe - 03-29-2010
I'm getting back on. I was on, went to the bathroom, and came back to find my computer rebooting.
EDIT: That's if you are wanting to play a bit. If not, I'm gonna watch a movie with Erin.

Hopefully you can download that and watch it! The match went on for an HOUR AND TWO MINUTES!
This guy had me completely out gunned, I was protoss and he was terran. They nerfed the damn Void Rays which I relied heavily upon and so his viking fleet wiped me out. I managed to fend off a few waves of attack and pester him a little while expanding my bases for economic needs. Eventually I pumped out a few Dark Templars (who are invisible) and started smashing his shit. He couldn't figure out how to see them, didn't have the buildings for it and didn't start using his radar enough. I managed to wipe out his bases and production with something like 12 Dark Templars after about an hour of back and forth bullshit. At one point he said I was "boring and cheap" I probably just made some 12 year old cry. BUHAHAHAHA
Starcraft I & II - Ashe - 04-17-2010
I love people that refuse to build any form of detector or counter stealthed units, and instead just whine that stealth is cheap and you suck.
EDIT: Yeah, so... you SHOULD have lost that game. He definitely knew what he was doing with one extreme exception. ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS STOP MASSING VIKINGS THE ENTIRE GAME AND BUILD MAYBE THREE OR FOUR RAVENS AND YOU'D HAVE LOST.
Instead he decided to just whine in chat about a strat that he still lost to 25 minutes after he realized what you were doing. AND HE STILL HADN'T BUILT A SINGLE RAVEN BY THEN, just kept massing Vikings and Marines.
Starcraft I & II - Ashe - 04-17-2010
Oh snap, Aaron readd me using my email for the Real ID thing. It wiped my Real ID friend list, including Josh.
EDIT: Weird, it has my real name and in the top right I have my character of Chamber, but it links me to the identifier of "Such.shangh" or something like that, with 48th place Copper (I hadn't done my most recent placement matches yet). Wiped a lot of my settings and stuff too.
EDIT2: Actually, its full of all sorts of glitchy information, so I'm gonna leave it alone for now.
Starcraft I & II - Kami - 04-17-2010
I have you added on my list already.
Starcraft I & II - Ashe - 04-24-2010
Newest patch updates to the system are really nice. They changed a lot. Gotta rebuild friend list again though.
Symbiosychotic@gmail.com still.
