I have returned: StarCraft II

[Salodin]

I'm having an issue launching SC. It worked fine yesterday, will not launch today. I've tried re-installing and the repair option. Repair didn't find anything amiss and re-install had the same result. Any help would be appreciated =/.

Edit: No error messages or anything like that. Firewall isn't blocking access to anything SC2 related.

Does it start then crash to desktop before loading, or just click and nothing happens?

[Isawa]

Just click and nothing happens.

sounds like a dead desktop icon. Have you tried opening the game threw the start menu? If that works just delete your short cut and create a new one

also im off all day anyone wanna 2v2?

I've tried through the menu with no luck. I ended up just completely deleting everything and re-installing, seems to have fixed the problem.

I'm also EU, Silver/Gold Protoss. Lhyet.911

[Greatguardian]

Awesome~. I'm Gold Terran, vileHawk 429 on EU.

Edit: And I totally just had two different 1v1 matches drop on me when they saw my username <_<. Dammit.

[Julian]

I have an EU account, but I'm not contaminating that one with team games!

Does guardian shield stack? Ie -2 damage for every one I use. Also I like to 2 gate robo and all my team mates bitch saying I should 3 gate... Is it possible to support 3? I nonstop produce probes and hard to continually build immortals and gateway units

No it doesn't, so it's important to spread Sentries and use as few as possible to save forcefield energy.

1 base can support 3 gates and 1 robo continuously (with Chrono on the Robo only) assuming Zealot/Collosus. It can support Stalkers/Collosus without Chrono. But this is precise resource management. You cannot be building other tech, upgrading, or expanding behind if you want to keep full production.

Generally in higher level games 1v1 you'll see the expand come out really early because of this, or the robo come out much later.

[Aylee]

So 2 gate if I wanna expo or tech more 3 gate I'd one basing?

3gate/1robo is a 1base build. That's okay in multiplayer if the team is coordinated and will hit together, you can expand behind an attack.

It's also a good defensive build in 1v1 against 4gate. But you're liable to get overrun vT or vZ if you don't expand earlier in those.

[Salodin]

In 2v2, you might as well 3gate robo since you shouldn't be trying to tech too fast, and expanding early is very risky since they can run you over with the extra resources they put into their army instead of expanding themselves.

Is there a way to just buy sc codes? I want a eu account for some online turneys but don't wanna pay 52 bucks for whole game

Not available in my country

Also I usually 3 gate robo against all 3 races unless I see some mass air coming out. But what should I do against another Protoss doing the same thing? Would it be better to 3 gate stargate and go zelet/void ray?

[Anakron]

Try doing the same thing, and just do it better.

All else being equal, I can't see a 3 gate stargate winning against a 3 gate robo, because you can't support 3 gate stargate on 1 base, and they'd likely see everything you're doing with their observer.

Just picked up a copy thanks to some LS mates pushing me to play. Here's to hoping its good ~!

Phoenix play can work well in PvP, but that's way above Silver level of play. Last time I tried it I just didn't have the mechanics to make it work well enough.

I go 3 gate robo in PvP and if my opponant is doing the same then it's just a game of who does it faster, who does it better and who does it without any mistake.
I like to move my army to my natural and defend while taking an expansion, but only when it's safe to do so without stopping Immortal production. You'll have the defenders advantage with Immortals with should be able to hold an attack giving you an economy lead to tech to Colossi with upgrades.
