In the options of the P2P downloader, you can turn off p2p connections and the downloader will automatically switch to a straight direct DL at a pretty fast rate.

yea i did that already, Izembo.izembo

I hope they release the next patch soon, they really need to fix some of the glitches that have been getting worse and worse recently. Not being able to login and unexpected friends list and stat wipes are getting annoying.

**GRT** · 2010-04-22 00:06

haven't had time to play lately, altho i'm looking forward to the mac client

**euph** · 2010-04-22 00:39

a little faerie told me that you could get beta access by pre-ordering the game through gamestop. But it was just a faerie... so idk how valid it is

Some balance issues that might need to be changed too.

Edit: Fuck I got wiped too

So, I'm in a game atm. Both of us are out of money, he had 2 hydra, i had 4 canon with pilon in the center, he couldn't kill me.

None of us want to leave, and we can't draw it...that's fucking retarded lol

**geno** · 2010-04-22 03:54

He doesn't have drones (you don't have probes)? Map is mined out? That's kind of a rare situation PvZ from experience lol. Seen/heard of similar endings a lot with Terran because of flying buildings vs ground only attackers. But yeah, there's usually something someone is forgetting in those types of situations that could be the key to victory.

Realistically, in your situation, I'd say gg and leave. Not because I lost, but just because it was clearly a good/close game and it ended in a draw. The actual mark on your stats is pretty insignificant (particularly during beta, and ESPECIALLY when stats are randomly getting reset and there is a guaranteed reset any day now).

**Kaylia** · 2010-04-22 04:26

It's not for the stats, it's the pride. That kind of misplaced pride that make you feel empty inside. >_>

In the last stretch of that game, we were both struggling for money after losing our expansion. Thing werent looking good for me, so I spent my last few mineral on a DT (since my probe would need to travel half the map to get mineral), and managed to kill the drones he built with his last minerals (while he was taking an expansion on an island).

He should have won this one, but failled micro and bad timing allowed me to kill most of his hydras with my last few units.

[edit]
It's actually the 2nd game I win like this today. I had 1 banshee, and my opponent had a huge stalker/immortal army inside my base. Instead of defending, I lifted my stuff, went for his probe, killed his expand and won the game since he couldn't do anything else after.

Can't stalkers hit air units? Or did you do the homo thing and fly your bases off into outerspace. lol

You know whats kind of fun doing mass towers on the island in Scrap Station. Literally just a Command Center and so many Missle Turrents you can't even like group them all up with the mouse. So I pretty much tried to drain out all of the resources ASAP while my Protoss opponent had only two bases mining. Compared to like my 7 Orbitals and pretty decent Tank/Bunker defenses. I drained out the map realizing I had to go eat in 10minutes and then I pretty much just went AFK and I came back to him cursing and raging for 20minutes before he finally left, lol.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there are any maps where you would be able to "hide" any structures from an all ground unit opponent.

I had a match like that once... 1 Medvac, 1 Marine - He had 2 Zealots. 0 Miners and 0 Main Base left. I had one rax floating... Went AFK - apparently he stayed in the game for 45 minutes before he gave up and left lol

This can easily be done on Scrap Station. Try it out. : p

**Deftscythe** · 2010-04-22 13:10

Is the beta down right now? Not able to connect atm. Wondering if it's the patch or just me.

Spoiler: show

**Swampthing** · 2010-04-22 14:06

So is there a website that I can't find that shows the status of the servers, being up or down? Quitting the game and restarting over and over with no idea of when the update will be done is pretty annoying.

**GRT** · 2010-04-22 14:38

huh, they didn't nerf assimilator hp?

**Misuicide** · 2010-04-22 16:12

Is anybody else having problems with the update? i keep getting this error...
The patch "base\Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\TriggerLibs \MeleeAI.galaxy" could not be applied. (Invalid source file size: expected 49197, actual 49042.) If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (BNUpdate:
