I have returned: StarCraft II

[Serif]

So you can just download the client and then purchase a digital copy at 1 EST tonight correct and install it then correct? I am going to get dominated so badly in this game but I don't care.

Or is this an even dumber move seeing how most everyone is going to be downloading the game at the same time and the world explodes and the Koreans win?

[Natallon]

Definitely going to grind through the campaign. I imagine it will be a pretty big clusterfuck online for the first few days anyway.

this is my plan

[Kaylia]

So, grind out the single player campaign to gain immunity to spoilers, or smash through the noob tsunami online and get a free pass to plat/crystal league?

I'm sure you will encounter a lot of people who think this way. Probably wont be a cake walk.

[GRT]

Not as much people who think that way as people who just prefer competitive play over single player mode. I would think they most likely aren't the noobs lol

I believe digital copies won't go active until tomorrow at 10AM PST. Also the servers are separated so Koreans are in their own region.

God damn it, you are right. Wonder if I can get a copy at Wal Mart tonight then...I know GameStop and such are sold out unless you pre ordered.

EB Games has a few copies left and they said to be up there at 11:30 at the latest. Last time I waited for a game to come out at midnight was War Craft and god did I end up hating that game. Hopefully this is different...

I'm amazed how good some of these protoss players are with that shield move. Completely walling off a huge area in about .5 seconds. Can someone tell me how you actually swap between units fast enough to place that? It looks like it's almost instant!

Its called smart cast, you just spam F and hit the location you want the forcefield. works nice in preventing lings getting in your base and so on

Wait, so things won't cast if there's already one in the queue there? If so that's awesome. I remember in SC1 if you want to like psy storm you had to be careful to single click the templar and cast as to not overlap and waste a whole groups mana.

Was even more intense when you tried to micro lockdown/optical flare as terran. Shit was a nightmare, felt like casting a paladin's heal from WC2.

[geno]

Yeah smartcasting definitely makes it a lot easier to pull of useful maneuvers like that. Makes storm so much more fun and easy to use for the average user too.

[Daydreamer]

Oh thank god. I was never great, but I remember doing storm to counter mass carriers or whatever would be nightmare if they weren't clustered.

[MisterBob]

Wow, I ordered mine for instore pickup yesterday, which supposedly had a 7/27 pickup guarantee. I went to Gamestop and they told me that it wasn't going to be honored, and that they will be sold out for the next few days, despite what the website said.

I guess that's the last time I purchase anything there lol.

[Mathematics]

93% installed

ohmygaahhh oh my gah oh my gahhh

[Serif]

EB Games had 6 extra and I got one, installing now. Not sure how long I am going to play campaign tonight. I am just waiting to see how the sells in Korea go compared to the rest of the world haha...

[izembo]

if you ordered it on gamestop website for instore on the 26th it wouldnt show up till the store polled, so you wouldnt be able to get till the 27th morning after 10am

[Vandole]

i'm editing the title since it's technically out now if there were midnight releases, any ideas? i was thinking Starcraft II OMG OMG ITS OUT

[Mojo]

Starcraft II- It's About Time? Cliche, I know, but fuck who cares.

[Kyo]

What the fuck is this gamestop booster pack shit.

[Kyo]

Answered my own question, but cant enter the code on their site, its a 12 digit code and they're only 10 spaces, gg.
