Just watched Zeratul die in some hackneyed Samurai charge in some 2 missions deep cinematic. Cringed hard. Hopefully this gets better and I don't continue hating myself for supporting what used to be an IP I liked.

The story sucked but the missions were fun and a couple were challenging enough that I required a few restarts.

CO-Op would be much better if it wasn't played on "Fast" gamespeed. Holy balls does it feel slow compared to everything else. My friend and I were running Artanis & Kerrigan and beat all the missions on Hard. Haven't tried Brutal yet, we were going to level up the heroes a bit. Having the 3charge skill on your warpgate is pretty insane.

With how much people are complaining about the game speed I imagine Blizzard will change it

I was hella behind in a TvZ yesterday then the Zerg got a bit overconfident and marched his Roach/Ravager/Ultra/Corruptor army through a tiny choke inhabited by a PF. I killed like 100 supply of army for the cost of MAYBE 20 bio supply. I then just walked across the map and killed him.

New medivac boost upgrade is oppie op as well. I love it. It effectively makes it so you only have a 5s gap between Medivac beeing boosted. I like to open 111 banshee in TvZ. Just make a single Banshee while I research the boost upgrade. I don't even get cloak just try and trade it off for 4-5 drones.

How are you dealing with the new 2-attack Marauders? I watched a bunch of replays of bio just horribly failing against Ultras and couldn't figure it out until someone pointed this out to me. The fact that a +3 Marauder only does 14 damage to an Ultralisk seems majorly retarded.

The eco changes in LotV seem to make production adding so much faster. Like I'm having a really hard time not floating 1k minerals in the early mid game because I have a HotS infrastructure.

First ranked match in LotV - PvZ:

Made some shit, had no idea what was going on, he made roaches, I pushed him back, suddenly he comes out with this huge army while I'm fucking around with Warp Prism trying to be cute, so I panick and make DT shrine. I lose all my probes, manage to hold on with 6 DTs and eventually I slaughter everything he has and then I realize he has no detection, so I just kill all his hatches morphing to lair and he leaves.

good unit toi have.

Second the opinion about macro - "Ok, now I got third base, let's macro up... I'm FLOATING 2K MINERALS ?!!!"

I still lol at how Fenix and Raynor were best bros but that point is completely glossed over in the entire SC2 series.

? I remember at least one of the cinematics, I think the one where Kerrigan re-zergs where he says 'what about all those innocent people, what about FENIX!' or something like that.

Yeah that was the only mention of Fenix iirc in the entire WoL and HoS campaigns.

I just could never get into SC2 personally, and its an absolute shame too considering the original is probably my most played game of all time(I remember installing spawner copies on computers in middle school and getting everyone hooked). WoL story being a thrown together mess combined with the abomination of the bnet 2.0 launch just killed any interest I had.

I'm currently waiting for LoV to go on sale. Is it worth full price or should I wait - I'll likely only play the campaign as I find the multiplayer masochistic unlike SC:BW for some reason.

Easily worth the full price imo, the campaign is the best one they made and co-op multiplayer missions are awesome if you find the 1v1 too intense.

Finished the last Mastery achieve today as I finally found some to take a crack at Essence of Eternity. Absolutely messy in the last third of that map but TL had some nice tips to help you out since your allies are useless. Like salvaging the bottom two bunkers for FE, killing your allies gas geysers so you can make refineries, and perma-cloaked spectres.

On the penultimate mission now where you have to remember how to play Terran...

Campaign felt shorter than the others thought it probably wasn't, evil red Protoss guy is AWESOME (It's Q right?), just amazing quality voice acting and his hero unit just fucks everything up and could solo the campaign. I don't know why the others couldn't be so awesome, Artanis was just a fucking annoying SJW who needs to climb back into his ship and fuck off back to Brood War... sick of the whining.

I'm happy overall but was the storyline really just another version of THE CORRUPTION turning everyone mad and evil?
