    Co-Op Mutation #233: Mass Manufacturing

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 07:05 AM PDT

    The Moebius facility is a full blown production complex, with the ability to mobilize defenders en masse, and deploy self-replicating units that convert everything into copies of themselves. Only by destroying the Hybrid will you disable all their production.
    ­

    Map: Part & Parcel

    Void Rifts
    Void Rifts periodically appear in random locations and spawn enemy units until destroyed.
    Propagators
    Reality warping sludges are crawling towards you. Anything they touch is turned into a copy of the sludge.

    ­

    Rating: Brutal +5

    Video Replays on Brutal:

    Player 1                                   Player 2
    [CtG(Keeper of Shadows Vorazun)] Ancalagon (Lone Puppy Tychus)
    [CtG(Evolution Master Abathur)] [Ancalagon (Knowledge Seeker Zeratul)]
    [CtG(Chaotic Power Couple Han and Horner)] [Ancalagon (Primal Contender Dehaka)]
    [CtG(Infiltration Specialist Nova)] Ancalagon (Khalai Phasesmith Karax)

    ­

    Notes:

    • Each Void Rift has 500HP, and their spawnings are signalled by a minimap ping on each Rift.
    • Units that spawn from Void Rifts neither not drop biomass for Abathur, nor essence for Dehaka.
    • Propagators have 450 health, and transform any unit they touch into one of them, effectively killing the unit.
    • Propagators hit ground units, air units, heroic units, and buildings.
    • Poopagators spawn from enemy buildings, including suppression tower spawn points, which you cannot destroy.
    • Objects that turn into the propagator have the exact same HP as the propagator that infected it; so a 1-HP Propagator can only make more 1-HP Propagators.
    • Spider mines, toxic nests, and banelings can connect with the poopagator before it poopagates them.
    • Crooked Sam's Detonation Charge, Abathur's Disabling Cloud, and Vorazun's stuff can all prevent poopagators from poopagating.
    • Time stop delays by 20 seconds the spawn time of Void Rifts and Poopagators.
    • Poops do not kill the Balius

    Platinum surprise

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 08:10 PM PDT

    I have StarCraft Game of the Year sealed in the box in mint condition. What do I do with it?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 06:41 AM PDT

    Did SC2 made no money?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 11:07 PM PDT

    I do not understand. If 25% from warchest sales went to esports (that's hundreds of thousands of dollars) creating new tournaments and boosting prize pool of existing ones, then 75% was pocketed by ActivisionBlizzard . I assume that some of that 75% covered creation and introduction of the warchest into the game. Does creating and implementing new skins cost millions? Last time I heard ActivisionBlizzard employees were not making insane money (excluding people at the top). So why terminate a project that is in green? And if it is in red, then how much does it cost to create and implement a skin? 100k? 500? 1 mill?

    Second round of Harstem's Rank Roulette, vs UpATree. Can Sal beat Artosis?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 09:09 AM PDT

    ASL Ro8 Day 1 tonight - Flash (R) vs Rush (T) Watch Flash take 1 step closer to finishing the SCBW Multiplayer campaign with all races!

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 09:58 PM PDT

    Can't believe there's not already a thread for this, never done this before so here we go.

    ​

    Tonight Flash (R), who got out of Ro24 Group C unscathed with 1-0 (TvP Free) 2-0 (Snow PVP & PVP) will be playing in the first day of ASL 10 Ro8 against Rush(T). God smiled upon God, as one might say he beat Snow with some very good luck.

    Nonetheless, tonight he is up against who Artosis claims may be the best Terran right now (besides Flash 33% of the time). They recently played, and you can see these matches cast by Starcast TV here:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D941lK0cIBE Part 1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0UfS4SNFBs Part 2

    Anyway hope we get some exciting games! Will be broadcast live on YT here cast by Tastosis.Thanks AFreeca![https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wzgArbZPx8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wzgArbZPx8)

    Come watch the God Gamer play some historic matches. We already use words like god, emperor, legend, etc to describe flash. If he makes it to the Semis or higher with random... iono what title we can give him, we are all out of superlatives!

    GLHF gamers!

    How to face beginners in Starcraft Brood War (Remastered)

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 09:06 PM PDT

    Hello, fellow starcraft fans!

    I've been in and out of Starcraft II since the beta and I managed to get to low masters zerg at some point. Nowadays i've switched to terran and currently roaming around low diamond.

    Thing is, after watching some ASL, I have been fancying the idea of playing some BW, but I'm a total beginner at the game. I'm trying ladder but, so far, after 5 games or so, I haven't been even close to winning. It seems that every player has 200+ APM and perfect decision making.

    Question is: are there any newbs left playing starcraft 1? Is there a way, other than ladder, to play with fellow beginners like me and slowly improve in the game? I mean, it's possible to get better being crushed, but it's really frustrating and not fun at all.

    Zerg hierarchies in SC1 and SC2?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 09:33 PM PDT

    Correct me if I'm wrong, this is how I understand of the Zerg hierarchical orders in different StarCraft versions:

    • StarCraft original: Overmind > Cerebrates > Queens > Overlords

    • StarCraft Brood War: Kerrigan > Cerebrates > Queens > Overlords

    • StarCraft 2 from Wings of Liberty to Legacy of the Void: Kerrigan > Broodmothers > Overlords

    • StarCraft 2 after Legacy of the Void: Broodmothers > Overlords

    I know its extremely unlikely but, we would really benefit from having a LAN Client.

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 02:25 PM PDT

    Tossing this up for discussion :)
    Probably Blizz will never do it, but they should let the players have more control of the game, let it be more about the players making content around it (arcade maps, LAN's and so on). Meme maps, party maps and bringing together people to play and have fun besides competitive gameplay. Also, since they are mostly doing balance stuff and we have this last stable period, do crazy stuff with the game. Experiment with numbers, experiment with economic changes, even if there is only one people working in the game, please, talk to us. Let us help make this game better, its a true passion of ours.

    Just had a game that was "Peak Starcraft"

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 09:20 PM PDT

    I main Zerg but I was offracing (so you know the game will not look standard at all xD) Terran . Just a game of mistake after mistake from both sides.

    I'd have been salty if I was the Zerg, he was nice =)

    A Positive: 8 yo Turns to StarCraft 2

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 08:56 AM PDT

    My 8 yo son has been playing Roblox for years, and recently his behavior and language changed as games on the platform have become less childish and more "adult", so we're giving him a hiatus from Roblox. Over the summer we introduced him to SC2 in addition to a lot of other games. Today marked the beginning of the Roblox ban and he instantly turn to SC2 and started the campaign for Wings of Liberty. He is hooked and has been plowing through it. He has played Halo Wars 2 on Xbox quite a bit so he understands the format, but Halo Wars 2 is also on his PC and he chose StarCraft. My heart is full!

    Balance loose ends wishlist

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 03:13 PM PDT

    With the recent news, a lot of recent balance decisions are now in the game permanently. I think the game is actually in a pretty good spot right now, but there are a few loose ends that I really wish Blizzard would tie up before dropping support:

    • Mutas in ZvZ: These have been extremely powerful recently, even in top-top-level pro play. The set of transitions needed on the receiving end are incredibly difficult to get right, even if the defender is ahead. This could be easily remedied by boosting Spore Crawler damage to Biological back to HotS levels. This would keep the matchup diverse with mutas as a viable option without harming any other matchups.

    • Shield battery: Proxy Immortal or Void Ray strategies are disproportionately powerful in all three Protoss matchups, with the most recent offender being the Void Ray versions in PvT. While these builds are seldom seen at the top pro level, they are common and very powerful up through Grandmaster league. A lot of the power of these can be traced back to the Shield Battery starting with 100 energy, unlike every other energy unit in the game. I would propose that starting energy be 100 only if the battery is built from a Super pylon, and is 50 otherwise. This would help gate the power of these proxy strategies (while not killing them outright) without harming the defensive power of the shield battery. This would also allow for additional future buffs of Tier 2 Protoss without worry of abuse in these aggressive cheese builds.

    • Microbial shroud: Personally I don't mind having this in the game as a weak corner-case option, but it feels like an outlier with so much of the rest of the game being tightened up.

    • Replays with the countdown timer: Bruh.

    These are what came to mind for me. Are there any balance things or bugs that you can't believe are still in the game perhaps for the long haul, without even a Q4 patch on the horizon?

    WarCraft 3 vs Starcraft 2. How long do you think it'll take the learn StarCraft 2?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 01:10 PM PDT

    Hello, I've been thinking about picking up StarCraft 2 for a while now but have always been discouraged at how complex the mechanics and learning curve is. WC3 seem way more tame then SC2 when comparing high level gameplay matches between the two. Curious to know from your own experiences, how long did it take you to really grasp the game? (please also mention your experience if you also play WC3)

    Thanks Reddit :)
