ive done about 30+ matches 1v1. and its a ton of fun. Quite challenging. Im much more motivated to get good compared to regular starcraft. There's no money maps right now to corrupt me like they did when i started starcraft years ago.

There're no AI in beta (it does nothing). It's there for you to look around first b4 going into multiplayers mode.
 
no theirs fully working reactive ai if u look in the right place
 
It's just there, and it does nothing, that's what I meant. There are no different between easy and hard AI. It's for for testing purpose, units, building trees, stuffs like that.
 
u have no idea what im talking about... theirs hundreds of ai variations u can download and use in the beta
 
:roll: I forgot I open this thread, shows how much I like the game... Hell its not my kinda of game, otherwise it looks good
 
Actually got a beta invite a couple of months ago, a week after I sold my computer. :(
 
Yah, pretty annoying. :)

I just hope I have a computer that can play it when it's released.
 
My buddy has successfully run it on an old dell laptop using win xp. I cant remember the processor but im pretty sure otherwise its integrated graphics. laptop has to be 5 years old. granted he ran it on minimum settings. But anyway, you can spend minimal dollar and be able to play it.
 
Oh wow, it's still running? I'm gonna have to redownload it! I stopped playing it because my cousin picked "veteran" for me and I kept getting my ass kicked, but if it's in phase 2 there's been a ladder reset, right?
 
is it still possible to get beta keys or no?
 
There were numerous ladder resets for phase 1, and yes there was one before this phase as well. If you pick beginner you get 5 preliminary matches. Which are on maps that prevent rushing. Then its 5 placement matches to put you in a league. The beta ended on june 7th i believe, and they said it would come up in a few weeks before the release of the full game

Delta they might have mentioned new people being able to join, but no guarentee.
 
Installing now.
 
I feel guilty for not posting about this yesterday. there was an update released in the early hours that some users from eu could get. i tried at about 6pm est and i was able to update. so you would of been able to play already danish
