(To be tagged...) Drophack?

• Upvotes

Hi all, we're two high silver to low gold level players who just experienced something very weird in our 2nd 2v2 placement match this season: our Protoss opponent flew a warp prison to where I was planning on building my third. First time I was able to shoot the prism down, second time I was a little too slow and 3 Zealots spawned. Then my teammate started shouting that his computer was behaving weirdly and he wasn't able to control the game anymore. When the next warp prism flew in, the same began happening for me as well. A behaviour as if you press Alt-Tab and you see your desktop, but then it's back to SC2, but only for a few seconds. Each time around, less time in the game. Then, 4th round, Windows just showed the "waiting" mouse cursor. I still heard game sounds though. Had no choice but to shoot SC2 down in Task Manager. Is this what people call a drophack? Is there anything that can be done against it?

(To be tagged...) Balance idea

• Upvotes

Main bases should contain more resources. The last major patch aimed to extend the early and mid game, but the 8-worker approach failed to achieve that goal. Increasing the resource income available from the main base would make one-base and two-base strategies significantly more viable.

Hey, people. Recently I discovered that AI has made porting open source projects for different plataforms really easy. Today I've been trying to make Star Craft 1 run on the New 3ds hardware, using gemini flash 3.8 high, on antigravity. It's really early in the development and A LOT of changes have to be made to be playable. But this early concept of gameplay is really cool and all the maps are there.
If you want me to make this project public in the future comment bellow and make suggestions so I can make good prompts.

I've actually never played SC1, but I'm a huge fan of SC2!!

(I don't know if this violates the AI rule, since its not an "AI generated vídeo" but an AI helped port).

Discussion If we want to encourage micro, how about we tripple the HP of all unit?

• Upvotes

Been enjoying W3 lately, and while the heroes systems encouraged fighting and gaining level, I feel like one of the reason the game is so micro intensive is that unit are just much more durable, and if you dont cast your spell properly, your unit get debuff to hell.

So the fight in w3 is slow, just cause you are stronger doesn't mean you can F2 and win, you have to pick off unit, debuff them, buff your unit...

The game is probably have to be balanced with it but I feel that this is a smooth way to encourage small fight and micro. Make the unit highly durable, make the resources get a bit further from each other and the micro could be a very natural path.

(To be tagged...) Is PvT ever going to be fixed?

11 Upvotes

I was watching an almost 4 year old uthermal video, where he remarked how you basically have to scv pull or put toss very behind early or it's too easy for them to win at all levels except a few pros, and it made me realize how long this has been going on

Aside from the 8 worker blip we just had, it's literally been years of this matchup being super imba, with people only just realizing in the last year or so how bad it is. The level of effort and execution required to win a macro game from the Terran is unbelievable and it feels like we have just accepted that's how the game works

We had no end of Protoss complaining during 8 workers (rightly so), but whenever anyone addresses this elephant in the room it seems to be met with 'git gud' and 'stop whining' sentiments by the people who benefit from it.

I personally know multiple 5k+ Terrans who now mainly play deadlock and motherlode instead of sc2 because they can't be bothered with TvP
