Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Gonna bump this thread. If anybody wants to hit me up for a few matches, my handle is Taucer and my character code is 201. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriantor Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I might play a few with you Taucer. Ever since patch 1.2 came out, I have been lurking in the "OC ReMix" channel. I don't think anybody else has thought of going there yet, as I am usually by myself in such a large room . Maybe we could use that as a way to get together and play games? EDIT: My SCII name is Koriantor, code 956. My offer is the same as Taucer's, if you want to play, give me a shout. Just make sure you mention you're from OCR or I will be very very cautious of you.

HalcyonSpirit Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 God, I haven't played in months... I really ought to play some more. I love watching games, but I never play any... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 God, I haven't played in months... I really ought to play some more. I love watching games, but I never play any... Same here, I only play 2v2 and 4v4 on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've started logging onto SC2 again lately, but only to play Star Battle. It's a 6v6 AoS/MOBA map (like DotA and HoN) but pretty noob-friendly since everyone is playing a lumbering capital ship that moves and turns very slowly. The big thing is there's NO RESPAWN so it's not rare to have 15-minute games, though I have seen them drag on for hours. When you die though, a lot of the time it's fun to just zoom in, sit back, and watch a bunch of battlecruisers and carriers and leviathans duke it out. The next big thing is you can't control auto-attacks -- basically the closest enemy within your attack range will get hit no matter what. You can't switch targets or stop attacking. Also everyone gets like 6 potential abilities, but since games are typically very short you have to choose your skill build wisely. Anyway yeah if anyone's interested hit me up and we'll play.

BardicKnowledge Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I play a ton of Star Battle with friends also. Hit me up if you want to join the team, Dhsu: RTBardic / 871. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moguta Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Just got the game for Christmas, and haven't had terribly much time to play... but I'm def enjoying it. Hoping to play with fellow OCR folks at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriantor Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Oh. My. Goodness. Terran vs. Terran on metalopolis. Cross map positions. Insanity. Super super super long game. Please shoot me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souliarc Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I miss it... I think I stopped because it was taking too much practice and studying to stay competitive at the level I was at. Hell of a game. I might have to pick it back up soon when the rush of a new semester calms down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrotic Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 How many people are still regularly playing SC2 or following the tourney scene around here? I've been playing a lot lately with some 2v2 partners and plan to get back into some serious 1v1 laddering. Blizzard just locked Season 2 a couple of weeks ago. What this means is that bonus pool doesn't increase and you stay in the league your in, however your MMR (matchmaking rating) and league placement stats are still considered, which only matters for your initial placement, but aside from that you pretty much starting fresh in the next season. Season 3 then starts on July 26. So now's actually a great time to get back into it! I'd love to do some team games or practice some 1v1 against you dudes.

noTuX Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Oh my God, I still suck so bad at this game. My boss made it to the Silver league and has been helping me train, but beating the snot out of me continuously. I'm almost too embarrassed to play other people online.

Omega Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 There's nothing like running your zergling into your opponent mineral line and watch as they eat through the workers. Lately I've started using Skype with my friends to have proper co-operation in team matches. I can't imagine myself playing without it any more.

I can't imagine myself playing without it any more. SC2 teams becomes a different game when you can actually coordinate on the fly. It's nice to not have to share control of you armies simply because you know what your partner is doing at all times and can react accordingly. It's nearly impossible to micro marine-tank when you have sentries and HT or infestors or other micro intensive builds to worry about in your army too. There's nothing like running your zergling into your opponent mineral line and watch as they eat through the workers. My main is 'Toss but I play Zerg as a secondary in teams. So satisfying, especially when you catch their main army WAY out of position when you do the runby. Also fun to fungal all their workers in place and watch as they all explode at the same time. Or . :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 New season, huh.... I need to check my rankings. I wouldn't mind if I would drop back into gold. That'd give me easier time to practice my 1v1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Taucer Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hey whaddya know I'm in gold league now. I've been exclusively playing Terran, but the more I think about it the more I want to switch to Zerg. Zerg mechanics seem so much harder, though.

Zerg mechanics seem so much harder, though. It's not really all that much harder. Just different. The biggest thing I had trouble with is trying to remember to vomit larvae with your queen. Find a build online and play around in a few custom games or against the computer until you get the hang of it. Dunno why you'd switch though, Terran's by far the best. I'm a Terran player myself, but I'd be happy to help out if you want it. (Koriantor.956) EDIT: And I just realized! Starcraft 2 turns 1 today! Happy Birthday SC2!

Zerg mechanics seem so much harder, though. Welcome to the herd... I mean swarm IMO the main difference between Z and T mechanics and philosophy is the lack of wall-off, more aggressive midgame and expansions and the lack of good anti-air in the early game. And yes, the queen spitting the larvae and creep tumors every few minutes. It takes practice to balance between two to three bases and still be able to pull off a proper micro. It takes more practice than with other races, me thinks. Also, it seems that I'm still in platinum league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
