Its, only been two days and I'm already dying from the anticipation. Its sad to think it will be like another year, give or take.
Protoss has a insane-looking mother ship. Have you guys seen the gameplay trailers on ign.

Im sure it will...

Did you see the screenshot with like a million zerg? They have more than 12 pixels now

Especially if you havent upgraded your computer since starcraft (1), it will most likely be mandatory

I dont know for sure

Apparently you can adjust the graphical settings quite a lot, so you should be able to run it with a half decent computer.

Is it even possible to play Warcraft 3 if you havn't upgraded your computer since SC1?

I mean, that was nearly 10 years ago.

I bet when this game comes out WC3 on B.net will be like a ghost town.
A massive move of players that quit WC3 to play SC2...At least for awhile.

I think WC3 will remain strong, cuz the RTS modes are so drastically different between SC and WC, but the original SC will empty out.

>The Original SC will empty out

Thats why I say "who cares if they shut down the original SC online" Not saying they will ofcourse. But seriously if I want to play SC i would play #2 not 1. Just like when TFT came out, I never play the old WC3 anymore.

Money is an issue for many people, yes StarCraft 2 itself wont be out of many people's budget, but people need a computer that can run it, which is not a luxury all people can't afford. Blizzard sees this and doesn't want to lose support from anyone. If it means keeping the SC server up while the SC2 server is up, they will do it.

y would they not just use the old SC server for SC2, so you could play/talk to ppl who had either game

I think that may even help to get the die hard SC players over to SC2

but maybe that is not possible

I know I'd need to get a computer before getting SCII.

Anyways, I wonder if Blizzard will buy my soul for an early release of the game?

For heroes:
If there would be same concept of triggering jou could just set units killed in variale and... and... and...
Anyways any decent mapper would go hrought it but I hope heroes will be there as editor only least.


And I got opsessed by starcraft already (checking their site every day for a bit of info :D )

I haven't played the original SC (though I've played the demo), and I can see it was, and probably still is, extremely popular.

It apparently bridged the gap between WC2 and 3. From WC2, where like the Grunt and Footman were nearly identical and there were briefing screens for the story, to StarCraft where each race is unique, and there are cinematics (sort of) in addition to the screens for story conveying. SC also brought about cliffs and a powerful map editor.

I'm definitely getting SC2, and will probably get around to picking up the original eventually.

Can't wait till it comes out. It looks soooo cool :D

Man, what I want to see the most are the new zerg units they will add in. The only new zerg thing I saw was the zerglings ability and that big worm thing. :D

    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
