    Co-Op Mutation #227: My Bots!

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 06:44 AM PDT

    Stetmann made more than just harvesting bots. However, there were errors in the code and now the boom bots and kill bots are headed to destroy the harvesting bots. Both are invulnerable, but each one is defused differently. Stay cool under pressure to save the bots from the bots.

    Map: Mist Opportunities

    Boom Bots
    Uncaring automatons carry a nuclear payload toward your base. One player must discern the disarming sequence and the other player must enter it.
    Kill Bots
    Invincible Kill Bots attack your forces until they hit their predetermined kill limit and shut down.

    Rating: Brutal +5

    Video Replays on Brutal:

    Player 1                                   Player 2

    [CtG (Stukov)] [Tombow (Swann)]

    Notes:

    • Boom bots are untargetable units that walk toward the players, and detonate a nuke upon contact. They will survive the blast and keep walking until they are defused.
    • Each boom bot has a [4-digit code] that only one player can see. However, it is only the other player who can enter this code [through the command card or by using number keys], to defuse the boom bot.
    • The boom bots are [visible from the minimap], and spawn from enemy structures.
    • The terrazine harvesters do not spawn boom bots or kill bots.
    • The [Kill Bots] spawn from any enemy building. Clearing the whole map will stop the Bot spawns.
    • The Kill Bots originally appeared in "Violent Night" as Amon's gift.
    • The more expensive each of your units are, the worse deal you get. If you are Nova or Tychus, for example, it might be worthwhile to produce spare SCVs to feed the bots, if your ally is unable to help.
    • Free units, such as Stukov's Infested, Zerglings in general, and Stetmann's Roaches Away are the most cost-effective solution to feed the Kill Bots.
    • Destroying all buildings will stop both kill bots and boom bots from spawning. The bonus objectives do not spawn boom bots or kill bots.

    Sadly, another hacker post.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 12:25 AM PDT

    Hi Reddit,

    I dont normally toss these accusations around lightly, and i'd like to think I have some sort of idea as to how to know whats coincidence and whats cheating.

    I am a low gm (5300ish) zerg, and today I was offracing as my protoss (around 4200) when I played against a very shady opponent. He goes by ICE and is a m3 protoss.

    Here is the replay and here are my time stamps to go with it. If I missed anything I apologize, and I would love for you to tell me I am wrong, but this seems very concrete to me. When I messaged him afterwards, I was ignored.

    https://drop.sc/replay/16109938

    • 3:21 sends all 4 of his stalkers to attack my proxy pylon with absolutely no vision of it, and even though it is a common proxy spot, he a-clicked directly onto my pylon, and if he was just scouting, why would he move all 4 stalkers out at once to an exact location.

    • 4:31 A-moves directly onto my oracle sitting in front of my nat with no vision.

    • 4:38 checks my main through fog of war with his camera

    • 4:49 moves camera to my oracle moving out through the fog of war

    • 5:05 moves stalkers perfectly to intercept oracle

    • 5:36 looks at my nat for a few seconds through fog of war

    • 5:41 moves camera through my main through fog of war to find my phoenix

    • 6:52 a-moves stalkers through fog of war to intercept phoenix

    • 8:03 moves camera through fog of war directly onto my phoenix, then moves his probe to avoid losing it before he can see phoenix

    • 8:54 moves camera through fog of war to find my army

    • 10:02 moves camera through fog of war to find my army again

    • 10:46 a moves through fog of war to kill my third

    • 12:00 moves camera through fog of war to my third, I can only assume because I was making cannons and batteries, and he had to see what was building

    • 12:12 same thing, camera through fog of war to my third

    • 13:38, I send a probe to scout for a 4th, he instantly moves camera onto it and snipes it

    • 13:57 moves whole army to intercept mine with no vision

    • 15:57 moves camera through fog of war to see my probes long distance mining while im making a 4th

    • 16:14 a moves some stalkers through fog of war to my 4th with no vision of it

    • 16:29 moves camera through fog of war to find my army

    The Races barely interact in the story of Starcraft 2

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 08:30 AM PDT

    Obviously the races interact in gameplay. And you get a lot of trash talk from enemy commanders, and occasional mission briefings. But what I'm talking about is in the story there is almost no instances of a Terran, Protoss, or Zerg having an interaction. It's hard to explain. But in most interactions I feel that they are talking AT each other, not TO each other. Nobody acknowledges Stukov being infested in the epilogue. Nobody bats an eye at Zagara.

    We have this epic space opera, with tons of lore for each race. But during the terrain campaign there are only terrans in the ship. We only talk to terrans. There is that 1 cutscene when Zeratul appears to give you the crystal. That's the only moment where I felt that there was a non antagonistic interaction. And it was a good cutscene. I really felt that Raynor is friends with Zeratul, and is worried about him.

    The Zerg campaign is troublesome as well. Even more so we only interact with zerg. And the zerg characters we do see are limited, and simple. All the queens look the same, and act the same. In the books Kerrigan infests some humans to be commanders. Maybe one of them could be kicking around on a planet and be our contact for that Swarm. We should have run into Artanis and allied with him before we get primal-ed. We have that one mission where we are controlling the Hyperion. Maybe instead of that we could have had like a co-op mission with the Raiders. Some jolly cooperation.

    On another note: Jim should have been with us for at least a few missions before being captured. And I don't think Kerrigan should think he is dead. It would be more impactful to actually have them interact some more than they do. Have them be cut off from the Raiders so Kerrigan has to control the swarm. Build in power before breaking off world. Then when Jim does get captured she goes on a path of destruction to find Intel. Like Char where a certain general is. Then when she does find him she needs more power so Zeratul shows up and takes her to Zerus. Maybe we could have had a mission where she fails to break Jim out, making us realize she needs to be stronger. Making the transformation feel more necessary. And just straight up remove Kaldir. There isn't really a good reason to go there, and no matter how angry Kerrigan is I cringe at her killing innocent protoss colonists.

    Now Legacy of the Void. Here more than anywhere we should have had some friendly interactions. It's supposed to be wrapping up the story. The Protoss are on the run gathering strength, and allies. There is a mission where we fight alongside Raynor, and Kerrigan. A mission each. Maybe we could have had a cutscene of them hanging out with Artanis. Maybe we rescue some Terrans from Amon and evacuate them off a planet. So some Terrans are wandering the Spear of Adun until we drop them off. Just give me a Zealot arm wrestling a marine in the background or something. Something to show that these are our friends and allies. That we are supposed to want to save the universe for them.

    Long story short. I feel that 99% of the interactions between races boils down to "you are here for thing? I wont let you have thing! Prepare to die!", then our current commander goes "they are preparing their defenses against us. I guess we have to come in swinging". And that's just disappointing.

    The only time we get any sort of "avengers" moment is in the epilogue when all the commanders have their own bases and are pushing towards Narud. And that's still very cursory.

    New bug. When loading units into your warp prism over an enemy buildning that buildning gets selected instead. Resulting in you attacking it instead of loading the prism. Just lost the ace match in a cw because of it rip. Did it come with the new layer system?

    Brood War campaign in SC2 graphics?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 10:28 PM PDT

    Is there a mod or anything for this? I want to play through the lore but am too used to sc2 graphics, the old style is just hard for me to recognise things.

    Kerrigan is so powerful in lore, that she can just fail your mission at any given moment she pleases. She just doesn't, most of the time...
