Now that we finally have something better than "very easy", did you try them?
And, if you did on, for example, "hard", did you win? First try?

Ever tried a 2 (you + normal) vs 3 (hard)? How fast did you lose? :p
 
I tried some Coop vs AI which is basically me and a friend vs 2 random computers. This was our first match since phase 1 so we picked medium/normal and won quite easily. The A.I did not expand until we were pushing into their base in the late game.

We then tried Hard which was harder but still quite easy and then another game at hard where we lost because of pretty bad macro on our part.
 
I'm saying this first, I suck at melee games for most RTS's. So, I can hardly beat medium comp :/
Sometimes I win, other times I don't. I'm just terrible at microing
 
Well. 1v1 hard is easy. But I can't beat 1v1 very hard.
We've beaten 2v2 very hard and 2v2 insane. But I guess the later doesn't count.

We made a custom game in Novice Twilight Fortress, went tp vs zz. We abused the fact that zerg ALWAYS go roach ling first. So 2 void rays from toss is enough. For the next wave, add 4 sieges. And mass colossus and thor for the rest of the game.
 
I failed on the first try on medium since i wasn't expecting much resistance from the comp.2nd Try i rolled over that Terran AI. :p
 
The AI seems pretty terribad when it comes to helping allies. Lost the first 2v2 because my ally didn't feel the need to help me when I got attacked by both enemies.

You should watch a replay and follow the APM of the comp, goes over 300 in certain situations. :p

We abused the fact that zerg ALWAYS go roach ling first.
Yeah I tend to hold off the first attack wave with 2 Queens and Spine Crawlers while I fast tech to Mutas, once you have a handful of them it's pretty much GG.
 
I hate how the AI is actually smart, they actually take backways that are blocked off with destructibles

    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

  • The Helper The Helper:
    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/
