Has anyone tried the challenges yet? More specifically, getting gold in all of them?

Psionic Assault was hardest of all of them for me. Now I have a nice looking spectre portrait, though!
 
At least for the basics, it's possible to do better than just gold. You can do flawless, no units lost:

It's also not all that difficult, he doesn't even know what most units are called :p


The "kill 5000 units in 20 seconds" challenges are not that easy really.
I have yet to pass the Zerg one, and I am Zerg :(
 
Of course it is, especially for the beginning ones. But why would you want to?

For a little noob like me, though, I don't think I could do them without losing a unit anyways. :p

I think these would be fun as a multi-player map. See who can get the best score the fastest. :)
 
Once you figure out how to do it, most of them are pretty easy, just the rush to build 30 marines/8tanks/10ghosts that have me scratching my head.. Always 15 seconds off from building my last ghost..
 
What you have to do is expo quickly and get 4 barracks. One to block (and initial marines), 1 with a reactor and 2 with tech labs. 1 Factory with tech lab is enough. You want to be constantly pumping units. Every building has to be constantly building units. One SCV has to be almost constantly building supply depots. And basically, that's it. Be careful of the mutalisks early on. You may lose one or two marines.
 
For Zerg covert mission, just use your roaches as decoys and your infestors to take control of the siege tanks and collossi, then just use these units to push forward to the main base and wipe out the scv's. Most of the challenges are pretty easy to get bronze in, it takes a bit of practise and experimentation to get silver and gold though.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
