  • SPLASH DAMAGE

  • the clock should be bronze league - and silver+ should do it without clock :P

  • How do you controll the blue player? Thumbs up so he sees and we can all know!

  • I just use the timer because it's funny to know that most of my games are around an hour long when it goes back and forth over and over again.

  • I added the timer but I find I dont use it much. I still use supply and buildings as cues, but then I am a noob.

  • i think the reason for the splash range of ultras was because i remember seeing a zerg player with two or three ultralisks at a terran's wall-in and he could'nt break through because there were so many scvs that were repairing it. so as a result the zerg player gged out of the game. (and those ultras were pretty much all he had left going for him)

  • 30 frame rate is pretty good. anything below 20 is laggy. usually a good computer is 40 and above.

  • the clock will say about what time u gg out lol

  • TOSS = ?

  • @youdontamuseme Protoss

  • I'm not completely sure on this, but I think now when scv's mass repair the planetary fortress they are counted as part of the fortress, that's why the ultralisk could hit all of them.

  • i agree with you about Battlecruiser

  • both Zerg and Protoss need the buffs. Simple reason: they die too easily compared to their predecessors in SC1, and also SC2 Terran :/

  • "[the timer] is n00b-ifying [sc2] like crazy."

    "I'm definitely playing with it on."

    Are you a hypocrite or self professing noob?

    But really.

    It's not like people couldn't use stopwatches outside the game already.

    The timer just adds a touch of accessibility.

    Letting green players get better doesn't matter to the average experienced player. Unless you think your special and you want to make it harder so you stay that way.

    Everyone was green once. Don't be an ass to new players.

  • @Inderrix New players going to google and typing "SC2 build orders" is already destroying the ladder in SC2. Countless times I've gone to matchmaking in platinum and seen the same ONE build for each race. Zerg: 14pool 16hatch Terran: 10supply 12rax Toss: 4-gate. It's beginning to take out a small portion of the skill component that RTS need to have. Also, I seriously doubt people actually used timers IRL. That's just tryhard. New players think too highly of build orders and forget M/m completely

  • @Inderrix He's not being an ass to new players. If the new players are learning by using google as opposed to experience then they will not benefit from it in the long run because they wont understand what they are doing and how to adjust what they're doing ect, they will just be following a list of instructions.

  • Take one step forward, and two steps back, nice one blizzard with the whole Ultralisk attack range, great balance...

  • So many people say that Zerg needs more buff, like

    Zerglings needs buff

    Hydralisks needs buff

    Roaches kinda needs buff

    Spine Crawlers needs buff

    Etcetera

    Etcetera

    Etcetera!

    What do you think about it? Do you think the Zerg needs more buff? I think they're okay.

  • @Armalizilto do you play zerg?

  • @Forgiv3n777 No, I'm a Terran player, I used to have Starcraft and Brood War before I lost them. I don't have the Starcraft 2 game yet, but I am gonna buy it soon.

  • If you see a Ultralisk(s) attacking your command center(s), don't even bother to repair it, instead load up, lift off your command center get your workers out of there into those transport units immediately, and evacuate!

  • This is gay.

  • wad's wrong with having the timer in the game?

  • the ultralisk got 0 kills^^

  • I like the timer...

  • zerg should really get buffed... I meant REALLY get buffed...

  • @pastapopcorn

    lol, Terran is what everyone is complaining about.

    All we need is for the next person who comments to whine about toss, then everything will be even because ALL of the races will be considered unfair >=)

  • Ultralisk fixed with 1.1.1, also the clock, well it's like getting a mod in WoW that allows you to almost on the dot recast or apply dot/hot spells so you don't waste synergy.

    It's a cheap gimmick used by newer players but I suspect the more advanced ones will use their guts and experience than a clock.

  • good news psy. they fixed the ultralisk thing with the attack range. as well as a few other things. u prolly already know but its still good news.

  • scv will fix scv which is fixes cc.

  • @FaintSnow I don't see anything wrong with not being able to repair a building being attacked by Ultra. Good for the Zerg. Kill the Ultras and you can repair it to full in seconds. It is not like you are required to build a PF either.

  • @AzureDrag0n1

    My issue is that it just seems so obviously unrealistic. Sure, not everything in SC is 100% realistic, but Blizzard should at least try its best to make it as real-seeming as possible.

  • StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty – Patch 1.1.1

    Fixed an issue where Ultralisk cleave range was being unintentionally extended by larger targets.

    Fixed an issue where the Phoenix's Graviton Beam was automatically canceled if you used it just after the Phoenix reached 50 energy.

    Fixed an issue where queuing Return Cargo on a worker would cause it to ignore the built-in delay after it finished gathering.

    BOOOOOO :(

  • Looks like Blizzard has an agent watching your videos, Psy. The new patch fixes a few of the strange bugs mentioned in this video:

    "Fixed an issue where Ultralisk cleave range was being unintentionally extended by larger targets.

    Fixed an issue where queuing Return Cargo on a worker would cause it to ignore the built-in delay after it finished gathering."

  • Wow you serious about the timer? U pretty much saying people who use a digital watch have an advantage...... The timer is a good idea. If the timer gets flamed then people do not realize how dumb it is not to have one. Unless in Esports they do not allow u to wear a watch then I guess it then people will just focus on internal timer in there head. But as a pro player it still good to see the time to base it on older times knowing u can imporve your timing on builds and know they are better

  • the cliff nerf was kinda nice, i was getting really annoyed with my ZvP game on that map. cliff abuse vs zerg ftl.

  • bitching about starcraft timer makes you look like a football morons protesting against replay system in world cup matches.

  • I disagree about the timer being a problem because before the timer, I just used the digital clock in my room...

  • Wow that cleave is so broken, how on earth did blizz not find that problem

  • Before the patch you could just press ctrl+alt+f

  • Can't believe people are bitching about clocks... Hell, if someone really wanted to do a build order by time, they could put a stopwatch on next to their set up... Quit your bitching

  • You know this is sarcasm, right?

  • Oh hell, way to go Blizz! You put a clock in the game! Wow...consider my account canceled!....

    Oh wait...this isn't WoW?

    Consider my opinion of you tarnished! Damn clocks ruining my gameplay experience.......

  • @IloveShaman

    Stop bitching im sure they will take it out of 1v1s and FFA at least.

  • @IloveShaman you know you dont have to turn it on right...?

  • @Celesat

    Sarcasm = )

  • if ur awsome ur FPS is 60 or 100 when NOT recording :D when recording and having 30 thats perfectly fine too :)

  • the best laid builds dont survive contact with the enemy thus the timer will not make that much of a difference

  • just saw you on TGS and subscribed. keep these coming. they are awesome!

  • I don't think its that big of a deal that they added a timer, I mean most people own a stop watch or a clock or a phone so its not like newbs couldn't just bypass the fact that was no in game timer.

  • Just a couple of comments Psy. I think its extremely unprofessional to use words like "retarded" and "gay" in your videos. But the content is great. There were a few mistakes like calling the planetary fortress an orbital command or saying tech labs have priority over reactors when making marines, but this video made me subscribe :)

  • OMG they have a clock? Now it will be easy for people who are punctual. LOL

  • Yea i dont think he thought about the timer thing very much. How is it any different to having a clock sitting on your desk?

  • I love the game timer.

  • gay crap because of the better timing ? thats a joke, you´re a joke.

  • Comment removed

  • @Pudelskern bitter player is bitter.

  • @andymcca

    a gay play is offended ... you very manly man, doesn´t need a clock ingame :o)

  • @Pudelskern It appears that english is not your primary language, so perhaps we are having communication issues, but:

    A) Using "gay" in your posts to mean something bad, which is rude and offensive (although I know youtube is rife with awful ****)

    B) I was pointing out that you got _extremely_ hostile over the opinion of a well know commentator. I'm not attacking your right to say whatever you want, but calling people names hardly makes your point (effectively).

  • @andymcca what is your second, third and fourth language ? thought so ...

    using "gay" with the connotation of something bad (like a clock in a game ) is just hilarious and stupid ...and btw, it´s facist.

  • @Pudelskern

    I think you mean fascist. Facism is when you discriminate against someone on the basis of what their face looks like =P

    But I agree, although I don't happen to think homosexuality is moral (yes I'm one of those), using the word "gay" as an insult is just so needlessly offensive toward gays (and many other people). I may not agree with the lifestyle, but they should still be treated like human beings and not like some sort of subhuman.

  • o man that Ultralisk thing is so retarded now...it means if you rush with ultralisks on some building and the enemy's army will come to defend and it will be standing right behind the buildings it will get damaged as well...omg...

  • so, you are raging abhout an optional timer, that helps people remeber when they should make builds? when you timed builds by supply (at least the early game)

    please explain how helping people remeber in a different way, and making it optional, is a bad thing

  • Game is skill based, not timing based. Even both are something connected, having a hint on time doesn't give more skill.

  • Gay clock is gay, should only be available in replays...

    And yes they can time it with a clock next to them, but it would take their eyes off their screen to look at it for even a second... a second can be game changing.

    Adding one ingame is just too accessible to do timing attacks as a noob.

  • Disagree about the timer. It helps folks out, and you always want to help as many people as possible. Leaving the game to a very elite few is against building a bigger better gaming community. It's not a big deal, and it's not like some people weren't sitting with a kitchen timer beside their monitor anyways.

  • btw does a yamato cannon activates a imortals hardening shield??

  • What was stopping somebody from having a timer before? Absolutely NOTHING.

  • QQ CLOCK QQ

  • OMG A CLOCK RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE QQ AHHHHH WE'RE GONNA DIE IT'S GONNA RAPE US ALL AHHHHHH RUN AWAY AHHH CLOCK QQ!

  • OMG CLOCK QQ

  • i think the cleave mechanic works in damaging an area around the target it is hitting, so the hitting the command center would hit all the stuff around the command center, like wise, hitting a marine will hit ground things around the marine

  • i think they should keep the clock but make it go away in league games, and have an option to turn it off on custom game lobby. it kinda makes the game too technical, no fun lol

  • 1337 minerls and 1337 gas. What a balla

  • Did no one watch Spunky vs Werra in the GSL? Check that for BC imbalance.

  • zealot nerf has made defending 6-pools and 8-pools much more difficult :(

  • @NutterButters27 yeah it makes early scouting and forge/cannon expand (expand if you can wall in if not then wall in at your main ramp) one of the few things toss has against a zerg on 2 player maps..

  • 1337 minerals, 1337 vespene... lol

  • toss got a problem with battlecruisers? stalker with blink and templars with feedback. GG

  • @aliveTerraN Amen

  • @aliveTerraN

    its for the hydras, the best unit ever :)

  • I don't think that Blizzard was intending for the build orders to be affected with the clock because I'm one of those people who want achievements that require you to do something in a limited amount of time.

  • Difference between in game clock and setting up a timer next to your computer?

  • You guarantee the clock will get a lot of flaming?

    Remind me not to trust your guarantees.

  • LOL how could you rage so much about a clock?!

  • battlecruisers: what's the point of teching to big ships with big guns if you fire like zerglings attack? I don't see a point in this nerf.

    And Ultralisks' splash damage (was it only ultra or all units that have splash damage). This was somewhat a good change. Have you tried to kill a planetary fortress when 50 scvs are repairing it?! Like Blizzard I don't know a better way to make it easier for zerg.

  • @Tyfyh yeah pretty much one or two ultras could take down a fortress with complete repair. That's definitely not balanced...

  • @selan100 Meh, not like fortress was balanced anyway

  • lol 1337 gas

  • not noobifying atal you seem to be the one who doesn't understand, real time isn't realy that relevent in starcraft as you will adjust yourbuild for everything they do so the clock will never be relevent it will always be down to your food and when you have stuff and when you don't have stuff, very rarely will the clock be accurate

  • yay to the clock! now I can put away this damned stopwatch, lol! :D

  • What's Starcraft?

  • you never se ultralisk!

  • Disagree about the timer crap... I mean, if someone does time-based strategy instead of supply/minerals in the bank based strategy then sucks be him for the slightest harras would change all timings... hell, if you can find a system for all timing based play then you can find a system for mineral/supply count based play. What's the big difference?

  • @verqix Also, what stopped people from just using a stopwatch manually before this new feature? ^_^

  • @verqix you gas and minerals will get changed undoubtable but the time will never be altered you can still tell whne you should be getting another expo or teching etc.

  • ULTRALISK <3

  • People actually use the clocks for their strategies? That's so....wow...don't even know what to call it. Thought clocks were just used for how long the game has been played.

  • @NarutoFreak1 yeah i understand that you are fucking dumb as shit, i can see that on your username.

    narutofreak lmfao what a fucking nerd

  • @NarutoFreak1 It helps alot on timings. i always use supply for timings in the begin, but with the clock now you can have your timings right till like 10 mins into the game which is kind of ridicilous

  • 1337 gas and 1337 minerals looooool

  • man, ultras... so broken.

  • People used to use timers before anyway. I don't even see why it's such a big benefit.

  • Siege tanks did less to light units in Brood War?

  • nice mineral count

  • Timer vs Foodcount.

    Timer will desplay you and your opponents progress probably. It will give you alarming notes such as "WHen the first reapers arrive or WHen 4 gate pushes come". Though I does not take in the process of the game. Saying it started with alot of harras, that will give timelagg in everything.

    Food; Will show your current situation. Taking in count that you have been harrased. Food is still the better option saying you play good.

  • I see what you did there with that "timer thingy" ;D awesome vid, gj!

  • 37 people QQ-ed

  • @Wolfblade981 QQ-ed?

  • I don't understand your timing complaints. "You can just write down builds and look at the clock." People do that with supply right now and you've already said that using supply for timings was a good thing. This really isn't going to do anything, if anyone wanted a timer for builds, they probably already have their cellphone propped up against their monitor.

  • I just noticed the minerals and gas at the top right at the beginning of the video. Very nice haha

  • +1 for the timer WOOOP

  • Timer doesn't mean anything. That's like saying build orders noobify the game.

  • Timer means nothing, if someone really wanted to time a build they would have used a stopwatch before. so really it makes no difference, if people really want to QQ about a timer they should uninstall

  • ooo

  • even if people know the ideal time to build stuff it is hard to implement. the game timer just replaces some math and a small timer clipped to your screen.

  • Lol. Are people really getting upset over "gay"? Get over it fags.

  • Patch 1.1 the name should have been Patch nerf Terran and suck off zerg

  • they should like have the timer not to be shown up plat and up. So they can use it while they try move up the ladder but once they hit the big leagues they can't rely on it anymore.

  • and did u notice it got 0 kills?!?!

  • OMG Zerg is now OP with the ulra's :-P lol

  • you say the timer is noobifying the game

    but i thing it just makes it more beginner friendly

  • I don't know if anyone mentioned this but you can use the rate at which gas is mined as a clock as well, its what the brood wars pros do.

  • you didnt say anything about the tanks

  • @ all the people who complain about him saying the word "Gay" you should really watch the "Fag" southpark episode. I admit that it might not have been the right choice of words, but its pretty obvious that he didn't use it in the 'homosexual' context and all your really doing is complaining to complain

  • @ZeeLobby Don't use the word "fag" if you don't mean homosexual you goddamn nigger!

    Oh now that hurt doesn't it? Our society has conditioned us to be sensitive to the word "nigger" but not to the word "fag" It is because of people like PsyStarcraft that are making it okay to diss gay people and claim that they don't mean anything by it. That's complete bullshit and all you dweeby white trash better watch out 'cause when they are done making fun of gays they will make fun of you.

  • @qweruiop123

    Shut up nigger. xD

  • @qweruiop123 then you wouldnt be mad if i called you gay, right?

  • @qweruiop123 Seems like an opportune time to bring up, fag originated as a word for "bundle of sticks"

    Our society hasn't conditioned us that nigger is bad, the racial bias has forced that word unto us as unacceptable. If we started calling all asians Gooks, they would probably start being offended and attempt to change what we say. So, no, fag doesn't mean gays, and nigger isn't a bad word, since words, intrinsically, are all equal.

  • @ReflexChlymidia No words are equal and we all know that. All words are loaded with emotional meanings and it doesn't matter what they originated as. You are right, Asians will get mad if we start calling them gooks, just as with any racial group being called names.

    Some people just don't care or don't think it's a big deal as long as they are not the ones being insulted. @PsyStarcraft should know better since lots of people watch him and emulate him.

  • @qweruiop123 It's not a big deal on the whole, if we allow words to change our society, we're going to hell in a handbasket. If, anyone, allows the word 'temerity" to somehow become offensive, and a word for turmoil, then we're only hurting ourselves.

    People who become offended by words, are being all too irrational and giving up the basis that, just because he says 'temerity' he probably is just a keyboard warrior. Also, many people who lead genocides, use words as propaganda. Which is bad,btw

  • @ReflexChlymidia I need to rephrase that first sentence, "it is a big deal if we allow words to change our society, and if we do we're going to hell in a handbasket." Is what I intended to write.

  • @ReflexChlymidia Words change societies all the time. Genocides happen because people remained silent while one group of people use words to marginalize another group. Attaching the word "gay" to everything negative makes it okay to insult gays, since it's done by habit. Eventually it will be okay to yell at them in the street and throw things at them.

  • because of course, there was no such thing as time before blizzard put a timer in the game. what are these "clocks" you speak of?

  • that ultra thing better be fixed soon!

  • finally ultralisk is viable barricade rammer... as it kills the SCVs repairing the barrier :)

  • the timer isn't really a big deal if you wanted the time badly enough you could just use a stopwatch and time your builds that way

  • @7:53 overreaction much?

    "blizzard invented time!"

  • the timer really isnt that big of a deal i mean you have other triggers in your head that give timing it just helps to keep you on track not that noobie of a thing

  • @smdiddy Agreed, as Day9 said, pros used to use the amount of gas left or some other pretty constant value, so it doesn't change much.

  • "some gay crap like that"

    I can't believe we're in the second decade of the 21st century and some weaselly twenty-something still thinks it's OK to casually drop bigotry into his YouTube videos. You average over 100,000 viewers? Be a leader, ugh.

  • What's wrong with the ultralisk's cleave? It's the same as siege tanks. If the siege tank attacks a building then everyone near the building would take damage as well.

  • The entire game is to build up a routine, If you don't like that fact, Don't play the game.

    The timer does nothing but speed up the process.

  • @TheDerHeinrich Im pretty sure he's joking

    I think

    please be joking....

  • @TheDerHeinrich little do you know, but based on game speed and lag the timer changes. duh

  • @TitroKB

    That is so fucking stupid that I don't know how to answer, if you really don't understand the basics of a clock please dont post.

  • @TheDerHeinrich he said people would QQ about the subject and you are :P

  • @Guitar5hit

    What? I never said I was not "QQi"ng, that wasnt even the subject. It's not even that hard to make a prediction like that if you yourself are fucking KING of the process. He makes these contronversial statements himself on his stupid youtube channel, so nobody should be fucking surprised that people QQ about it.

    If I would post a Video where I state all homos are fags, I shouldnt be surprised that people will claim Im an idiot. That doesn make me right and it doesnt make me mental

  • @TheDerHeinrich Your the fucking retard if you don't understand as to why the clock is a bad idea

  • @n00bcr3w

    Actually an ingame clock is very good - ppl who wanted to play with timer could use their own clock outside the game (and just scale the ingame faster times to normal time - simple math) - ingame clock evens it out.

    It's just like with the Counter-Strike when ppl often used to put a little dot on the center of monitor to have a crosshair when using unzoomed AVP...

  • @n00bcr3w

    What could you anticipate from a fucking kiddie who calles himself n00bcr3w.

  • @TheDerHeinrich And your name is failed German

  • @TheDerHeinrich It's pretty funny you went off like that, on such a little thing. It's going to be okay.
