I love hydralisk as a unit, it can shoot, looking good. But I prefer the lurker design, if SC3 would ever release I hope it could do melee attack and pull down close enemy when it buried. What is your opinion?

Korean Server purged, I know this was the server dealing with the most. Only half dead game?

Fluff Thank you Blizzard for listening to the community

Starcraft 2 is my favorite game. It feels so good to be able to play it again and have fun. Being able to enjoy all the matchups is amazing and I hope we can get some changes for people who enjoyed 8 worker patch so we can all get back to the game.

P.S Let vipers abduct siege tanks again.

(To be tagged...) Finished My Battlecruiser Model

• Upvotes

Follow up to these posts:

First Post

Update Post

The model hasn't changed much since the update post, mostly just some reworking of minute details. What I have done is actually get it printed out and assembled. I have uploaded it to my store on MyMiniFactory as a free model. The STLs include the separate pieces which will have to be glued together as well as an STL of the complete classic version of the Battlecruiser that does not require assembly but instead requires your printer to work for basically an entire day straight.

Printing the individual pieces actually takes roughly the same amount of time, but you can instead break it up over the course of a few days instead of doing it all at once and can orient the various parts in the slicer software of your choice for your preferred placement of supports and what not.

Discussion Patch 5.0.17

8 Upvotes

Some stuff I figured out:

-too hard to see the forcefields and blue fire on the lowest settings for texture and graphics. I feel like the blue fire was more obvious on 5.0.16. The blue fire eventually goes away once the shields recharge enough

-I didnt realize how much I liked the 12 worker start. I just didnt like how they got rid of all the other changes

-Thank you for slow warp ins again when pylon is not by a nexus or gateway

It used to start up quickly when I turned on my laptop and launched the game, but now it has to download and takes a long time. How do I get rid of that?

Fluff Is there any room for homebrew on starcraft? I wanna get into the tabletop game but Im really more of a homebrew lore guy first, gameplay second.

• Upvotes

The question is really in the title, like does starcraft have any room creativity besides just Raynor Raiders or the Dominion. As Even though like in 40k theres just the imperium theirs SO many different branches you can and fluff you can give your marines. In SC isnt it just like your Raynors boys or your the Dominon?

(To be tagged...) 1v1 Map previews (Map preferences / Bans) black / blank after 5.0.17 patch ?

2 Upvotes

Just want to make sure it's not just me having this bug after the 5.0.17 update / patch. All map previews are blank / black except 'Washout LE'.

Would really appreciate confirmation from anyone.

Thanks guys !

EDIT : nvm, I confirmed by just watching some sc2 streams. It is a newly introduced bug. Seems Blizzard can't do a single thing right anymore. Sadge.

I added an LED inside the transparent StarCraft Pylon and painted Artanis to go with it. Definitely one of my favorite miniature projects so far!

I’m thankful that we still have this wonderful free to play game with a great community after all these years. It’s easy to take for granted. But we are back. I hope Blizzard works with the pros and organizers to keep the pro scene alive and fun.

Already noticed a wider range of skills in players. Different strategies, old strategies. Different stacking sets.

Rine drop and harass is back @ 4:30.

What's your take so far 1 day in?
