thank god it wasn't a Starcraft mmo. I'm guessing it's going to cost the same 40-50 unless you buy some special edition. I don't think they are going to charge more because it's going to be awesome.

I played starcraft with my friends in like the 2nd grade and thats when it was middle aged but I bought my own SC1 for myself like 1 year ago
but ehh I'm not upset that I wasted money it was like only 10 dollars for both of them the orginal one and the expansion.

But Blizzard said it may shut down SC1 severs because they want SC2 to be better
which reminds me did WC2 even have battle.net because I think they did the same for WC3

Cool stuff at www.Starcraft2.com

Will StarCraft II take advantage of DirectX 10? What other graphical goodies are included?
The game will be compatible with DirectX 10, and we're still considering whether there will be exclusive DirectX 10 graphic effects, but the graphics engine will also be very scalable to ensure that a wide range of different systems will be capable of running StarCraft II. The new engine is also capable of rendering very large units, as well as large numbers of units on screen together. Havok physics have been integrated into the engine for added realism as well.

Hopefully it will work on mine. I never played the orginal, but hell, I've played a lot of RTS games before. And that trailer looked sweet :D

I dunno if it had it before WC3, but I know that here in the UK, you can get WC2: Battle.net edition, which has both single player and multiplayer support.

> did WC2 even have battle.net

Originally, no.
However, at some point, thanks to the general success of battle.net, they released a special battle.net edition.

That was a (absurd) rumor, Blizzard never said that.

Starcraft 2 FAQ said:
Will we still be able to play the original StarCraft on Battle.net after StarCraft II is released?

Yes, you will.

I just saw the advert for this on the news page that comes up whe you start WoW, I am very much looking forward to it but I think they could have done a bit more in terms of graphics, except for the buildnings which look great.

looking at those pics that andrew posted it looks like it has the exact same units as SC1 and some of the buildings by the looks of those bunkers.

To be honest I expected more when I saw the advert but meh, I will probably still end up buying it.

Was hoping for a new warcraft title .. :(

I think when I feel like playing a futuristic RTS, I'll go play CnC3.

It will have all the old units plus a lot of new stuff! So no worries. I'll surely buy this one, I have always enjoyed Blizzards products.

Graphic-wise? You're kidding right?
Or you looked at the first screenshot from Andrew's post, that one actually is SC1...

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
