^ I don't know how the old bnet works but most of the complaints on the new one is the region lock issue and the lack of a chatroom.

I'm playing 2v2 with zigg most of the time. zigg won the game for us last night when our opponents (2 zergs) went all in but failed to transition to midgame. They managed to kill me off but zigg cleaned house.

Finished the campaign last weekend. Currently going through the save files so I can get the achievements and play the alternate routes.

^ Btw, words and me are on SEA server. I'm wormmox / 614. Lol, most of the time words mass void rays saved our 2vs2 games

We should practice more to pump apm like Jaedong kekeke. I also finished the campaign just on normal mode. Trying to beat the challenges for now.

Haven't gotten too much into the multiplayer yet though...
I also have the same problem as boykun. Can't add words and zigg.

Well fuck, I totally forgot about the region lock. :/ Guess I'm the only one in the EU server in this thread. lol.

Anyway, I completed the campaign and redid some missions on hard. I think I'll have to do another playthrough, though, for the merc/upgrade achievements. I also did some 3v3 with two buddies, we ended up in bronze league with like 2-3 or something. A good sign showing you're turtling too long is when you get attacked by 10+ battle cruisers.

I'm in the UK so I could only play on the EU servers too, but I emailed blizzard and they changed my key to a US one so I can play on the US servers. You should email them and ask to change server if your not to fussed about the EU one!

Just started playing after my friends brought on the heavy peer-pressure. About half-way through the campaign, and hopefully I can push the rest of the way over the weekend.

ziggurat · « **Reply #69 on:** August 13, 2010, 12:31:16 PM »

Apart from special ability, what's the different between Ghost & Spectre ?

Which one is better ?

Ayabie · « **Reply #72 on:** August 17, 2010, 11:49:03 AM »

I went with Nova and her ghosts on my first run, but I never actually had much use of them. The spectres on the other hand can be of help at times with their mindblast thing. And as far as I know, their abilities is the only real difference.

While we're at the subject:

Spectre > Ghost
Hercules > Predator
Science Vessel > Raven

I'm considering this, but how's the latency and stuff? I'd hate to be playing a game with a 1-2 sec lag.

boykun · « **Reply #73 on:** August 18, 2010, 01:10:34 AM »

I went with spectres too. Pretty much got spectre, hercules, and science vessel, but I've never actually used them. Hercules is too damn expensive lol.

We need to get some games going. I never see you guys online, lol.
It's tough playing on platinum league, lol. I always lose at late game macro stages.

LaJon · « **Reply #74 on:** August 18, 2010, 05:51:24 PM »

Knocked out the last bit of the campaign today. So much win

Now it's time to start working on the 1v1 action this weekend.

ziggurat · « **Reply #75 on:** August 21, 2010, 10:03:18 AM »

^ nice Lajon

2vs2 a bit with words as usual today. 3-1 fuck yeah \o/ We think our losing streak stop lol. In one game i manage to warp in a mother(fucking)ship. Wipe out the opponent base with carriers/phoenix/mothership with some ground army. Must be my best game since i play it lol. Now we are climbing the bronze ladder like a boss.

LaJon · « **Reply #76 on:** August 21, 2010, 03:39:28 PM »

You guys are gonna wanna see this replay. Most comical ending to a game I've ever seen

Make sure you watch each part completely. The beginning of the end starts in part 2 and goes from there.

ziggurat · « **Reply #77 on:** August 21, 2010, 03:51:16 PM »

Lol. I already watched it a few days before. Seriously brilliant end

Both players are good. I need to pump in more apm to be on par with them

Ayabie · « **Reply #78 on:** August 21, 2010, 05:09:52 PM »

Haha oh wow.

What a twist!
