Know the difference between Ragequitting, and accepting that you're in a position where you can no longer reasonably win, and bowing out gracefully. Basically, are you Alt-F4-ing, or GG-ing?

They're two different things, even if both lead to the end of a game. Rage quitting is not great because you could very well still be in a recoverable state. There's value to learning to persevere even when you're in a rough spot, regardless of it being just a video game. Moreover, disconnecting instead of conceding back in early battle.net days would IIRC not count as a win/loss, so you're denying a victory to your opponent. Also, if you're saying nasty poo poo to the other person it's not in any way good, you're just being a jerk. OTOH, calmly realizing when you're comprehensively beaten and giving a gg as you concede is good sportsmanship. As a kid playing OG SC and BW most of my PVP was in FFA rather than head to head, I was not very good and could not do micro at all but I got reasonably good at macro for all species. I don't recall disconnecting much if at all, or even conceding that often, because in a FFA if you're not coming in second there's value to staying in and hurting your killer's chances of winning by holding them off for as long as possible. I also liked the Starship Troopers maps where your entire goal was to last as long as possible against an infinite horde of Zerg.

There was one time I was playing a 2v2 and my friend kept them distracted enough that I managed to pop a nydus canal in the enemy base and shove hundreds of zerglings through. It's the only time I managed that and the only Starcraft game I remember, what a glorious moment.

Have to agree a bit more of not having Kerrigan though having her help out is also a nice thing. Though to be fully fair since she isn’t involved in the evolution missions that is basically 11 missions out of like 27(if I counted missions right), she is not playable(well one of them she is in a bit with the crucible) though only 4 non optional ones(two of which are non base building missions though), so looking at it funny enough a decent amount of none Kerrigan stuff sadly most was quick not actual base building with Zerg I do like the whole getting to use the queen bitch of the universe but having some more Zerg focused missions like say letting us play the queen rejoining the swarms missions would have been great.

There’s an idea: evolution missions are presented as two queens from rival broods who each approach Kerrigan with their unique strains and a demonstration of their abilities (the current missions we have now). Then, whichever one she ultimately chooses immediately gets a followup cutscene or brief mission where that queen slaughters the strain you didn’t go with to collect their

Korhal 2: Death From Above Video: Death From Above  Two missions to go.   Apparently Kerrigan's just held on to that projector the entire time?    You use words like weapons, Arcturus, but words cannot save you now. Oh, I have other weapons. I just wanted to say goodbye, Kerrigan.  I gotta give Mengsk points for being a petty bitch like this. The instant the call ends he turned on his new superweapon.   The field will quickly kill any zerg who enters it.Oh look, a new toy that fucks with the hive mind. Five minutes after Kerrigan said he'd probably use something to gently caress with the hive mind.   A diversion, to keep us from dealing with the Psi Destroyer. Yes, and we're going to let them think we're diverted.There's just one problem here:  Kerrigan just so happens to have some hive mind-free zerg on hand to effortlessly take it down, when Mengsk has zero possible way to even think such a thing was possible! This is the first time the primal zerg have been allowed to do anything in the field aside from Drop Pods, and there's a 50/50 chance Korhal is the first time you can even use that. Mengsk has been screwed from the moment we went to Zerus, and he didn't even know it.  The device uses this psi connection you share. But I do not have a psi connection. I will not need it.At the end of the day, Mengsk isn't going to lose because Kerrigan was stronger than him or faster or more cunning.  Mengsk is going to lose because      The Mutalisks last for like 5 seconds. Against stock zerg, the Psi Destroyer is untouchable.  And I think this is the reason why Mengsk had Jim tossed on a prison ship instead of locking him up on Korhal itself, even though it gave Kerrigan the chance to go and rescue him.   We're going to bring it offline, permanently.Mengsk didn't need to stall Kerrigan forever, just long enough to finish the Psi Destroyer. The moment it's ready, Kerrigan is effectively stopped cold. Hell, he could probably just take the platform this thing is on and chase Kerrigan's Leviathan around to try and catch her in the field.  With Kerrigan stopped, all that's left for major opposition to his rule are the Raiders. But now Mengsk has footage of the merciless Queen of Blades, who slaughtered billions and devoured multiple Dominion worlds, attacking a Dominion ship for the singlular purpose of saving Jimmy! Donny once implied Jim and the Queen could be allies as part of his bit, but now Mengsk has solid proof to show the Dominion.  Once the field is down, I'll command the Swarm and destroy their defenses.The Swarm can't get close to Korhal without getting torn apart, all public support of Raynor goes up in smoke, and what the hell can Valerian do without allies or forces?  Unfortunately, this plan hinged on the zerg not getting a massive retcon to their origins, so instead the Psi Destroyer will last for like 30 minutes and Mengsk's lifespan can probably be measured in hours.  Dehaka, much like Stukov, gets a single mission in the spotlight. Bizarrely, Zagara never gets to be playable in Heart, even though she has a hero unit in Domination. Dehaka also has nine different unit lines that mention essence, so I'll count those once each. Essence count: 112  Dehaka has a good bit of bulk, deals 25 (+25 vs Structure) to ground targets and 50 damage vs air, and his starting abilities are Mend and cliff jumping.    Two of the Marines here get unmarked lines of "Zerg!" "Here? That's impossible!"         Keep me informed on its progress, Izsha. For now, I'm going to crush the Dominion.I start off with two Hatcheries. Considering I'm still running Twin Drones, I'll be saturated in a blink.   This mission goes in phases. Do as much damage as possible while pushing towards the Psi Destroyer, have Dehaka take out a power link when the timer runs out, repeat.  Of course, opening the expansion takes priority.    The Dominion won't rebuild any lost buildings here, so taking out production is important.  Sure I lost pretty much my entire starting army, but Kerrigan still exists so it doesn't matter. It never matters. How can it matter when I have 800 life and 50 damage a hit four times a second?    And Kerrigan finishes off this first area just in time.  There's nothing stopping you from rushing for the Destroyer this early. Hell, the speedrun strat for this mission is to just rush Kerrigan in while using Kinetic Blast to snipe detectors while burrowing to let Mend tick.      The field starts off covering the first area, will slowly expand over time, and will actually tear apart anyone I send in there, even Kerrigan. It won't actually reach the Hatchery at my main, but pretty much everything in front of it is fair game and the Dominion will still send out attack waves so letting it get that far is a bad time.  Dehaka gets a second ability here, Drag.  It's Abduct.  Since this is just a massive batch of dead time for Kerrigan's side, I can make a big army for when Dehaka is done. The one issue is you have to be careful not to hit F2 on reflex, because it will grab Kerrigan's army and make them march right into the field.   I screw up while queuing up upgrades and get Dehaka killed. But since I'm on a time crunch here Dehaka respawns in half the time.  And as a bonus, Dehaka will get a new pack of zerg with each revive.         This is not a mission you can casually use Mutas on. The place is loving packed with Vikings and Missile Turrets.  Mengsk finally remembers he has access to nukes.  Good job, idiot.  Mine's bigger.  Is this a pissing contest now?  Maybe if you tried to, like, sneak a Ghost into my mineral lines or something.  I finish clearing out this section before the field comes back.   Terrans, we will break your weapon again! We come for your power link! Dehaka's third ability, Generate Spawns, unlocks here.   Essence count: 113 Dehaka just horks up two clones of himself. Zurvan vomited mooks too, so I wonder if this is just a Thing primal zerg do?   And here are my reinforcements.  I have no idea why, but Dehaka just sorta... stops and stares at this one Marauder.  I had to manually order an attack for Dehaka to start moving again.     Mengsk has upgraded Thors.   Then Dehaka gets sniped by Banshees at the last minute.  But the other primals finish the job.      We don't rest until that hub is destroyed. All forces, strike now! For the Swarm!And now I can take as much time as I want to finish the Destroyer.  Essence count: 114 And as a bonus, Dehaka joins in too!     And once I get close I can just click the Destroyer and win.     Zagara, report. We are pushing the Dominion into the Imperial sector now. Was that your last card, Mengsk? It wasn't good enough.  Death From Above - Complete the "Death From Above" mission in the Heart of the Swarm campaign. Terran Up the Sky - Destroy 20 enemy structures before the 2nd Psi Destroyer field activation in the “Death From Above” mission. Apex Predator - Don’t let Dehaka die while destroying a Power Link in the “Death From Above” mission on Normal difficulty. Missing Link - Complete the "Death From Above" mission before destroying the final power link on Hard difficulty. Primal Power - Destroy the third Power Link in the "Death From Above" mission in less than 18 minutes on Normal difficulty. BisbyWorl fucked around with this message at 08:58 on May 1, 2024 |

It's kind of wild that Kerrigan never seemed to have considered that Mengsk might have built another Psi-disruptor or similar anti-Zerg weapon. She did not seem to have any contingency thought out and just happened to be lucky enough that the essence boy had insisted on following her around. Likewise, Mengsk seems like that was the basket with all his eggs; has he done anything at all between lazily faking Jimbo's death and now? They're supposed to be the top dogs of the Koprulu sector because they schemed their way there, and yet neither one is doing anything interesting or original. Valerian is the only character with anything going on, even the big bad Duran went out with the oldest shapeshifter trick in the book.

Nah. Mengsk couldn't have been prepared for this because how was he to know that there even were non-hive mind Zerg. Meanwhile, Kerrigan was aware that Mengsk would try to pull something like this, which is part of why she had non-hive mind Zerg in her back pocket for when Mengsk used some psi-disruptor based tech. This part of the plot actually coheres and no one is holding the idiot ball. Instead, the problem lies with how Kerrigan ended up on Zerus in the first place. Make that work, and it's just Mengsk getting outfoxed despite having a pretty solid plan. Also, this mission seems like hella fun to actually play.

I think you missed an 'essence' count after the last power link, when Dehaka joins Kerrigan for the final assault. This would have been a great opportunity for a no-Kerrigan mission, make it more like the Stukov one with a bigger role for Dehaka and maybe use some of the primal Zerus zerg models and etc, really lean in on the primal pack being different somehow. Maybe tough to do that this late though.

And therefore be receptive to Zeratul telling her to go to Zerus.

It's not completely out of nowhere, we did go to Zerus- and pick up a number of other approaches to the swarm besides- explicitly to "evolve" beyond Brood War or De-Infested Kerrigan. It just so happens that one of those stuck. Turns out having a black ops mini-swarm helps a lot. Could just as easily have been that super-Infested Terran sleeper agents would be the key to a victory, in another circumstance. Sadly, it's not Stukov's time to shine anymore.

You know, for all the "blar blar blar gather their essence blar blar blar"... the Zerg never really do much "essence gathering" outside of evolution missions. The early missions have you unlocking units, but that's largely just ones that already exist, you just need to fetch the blueprints. You're never really incorporating parts of the enemy or their genetics into the swarm. Maybe it would've been interesting to have had a mechanic like the GLA vehicles in C&C Generals where defeated enemies leave behind "essence"(scrap in C&CG) and whatever unit heads over it first gets a relevant bonus. Generic terran infantry might be a health boost, protoss might be a speed boost, ghosts and banshees might give an AoE damage field(because of psychic potential getting hoovered up) and so on, or you could have advanced Zerg upgrades only unlock once you've gathered X units of Essence, as a sort of tertiary per-mission currency. I don't know, it just feels like a disjoint between storytelling and mechanics, not to mention the whole bit that Infested Terrans only ever really show up as a story thing. You can't even infest command centers in SC2, can you? Even though that was already a super niche mechanic in 1.

Here's the thing about Mengsk's Psi Destroyer plan: all it takes to gently caress it up is a force of non-Hivemind Zerg. There are a LOT of things that are non-Hivemind Zerg. The Primal Zerg Are Finally Useful plotline could have just as easily been any number of things. Mira Han, for example. Maybe Raynor showing compassion and understanding about what Kerrigan thought she had to do and not throwing a tantrum that his girlfriend had scales again. Zeratul, even. Hell, Heart could have been about Kerrigan ripping out the influence of the Overmind entirely and transforming the Zerg into a race of individuals; still united in purpose, but no longer tethered to each other. The story could have had a secondary theme about personhood and cooperation and the heart in working towards common goals, and the climax of that theme being Mengsk's superweapon doing gently caress-all to Kerrigan's new Swarm. Or at least having a reduced impact such that it only really works on lesser Zerg so you're forced to use more technical, more "evolved" units that can think for themselves, like Queens. But nah, Dinosaur Special Ops as a Deus Ex Machina set up because of THE PROPHECY.

Bibsy just isn't bothering to use them because with Kerrigan on the field other spellcasters are basically a liability. Having the Swarm actually adopt their enemies' traits would be neat, but hard to fit in with the factional setup of Starcraft. The Terrans are all just humans that are already established to have barely anything to offer the Swarm, and Protoss are explicitly not compatible with how the Swarm works. You'd have to add a wider variety of creeps on the map to pull that off, and that's much more of a Warcraft 3 thing. They flirted with the idea way back on Kaldir where you had to kill some fuzzy guys to get adaptations for your Swarm to survive the cold, but didn't really do more than that? I dunno, I could see repeating that getting stale quickly.

I was thinking during this update, this mission would be a fantastic capstone to a more thematically-coherent version of the campaign where Kerrigan is rebuilding the swarm to not rely so much on a single overarching will. Since that is essentially what she's done with her war council, and it would mean the Swarm means something besides being Kerrigan's personal weapon.

Note that this is a Psi Destroyer, and Kerrigan has made some changes to the Swarm that would actually prevent things like the Psi Disruptor from being as effective against her Swarm. To a certain extent, it's not exactly a problem with an internal solution: Kerrigan's ability to control the swarm is at odds with the things she would need to do to render the Swarm immune, and conversely against a Psi Disruptor Kerrigan doesn't entirely need to make adjustments, since destroying one could be done simply by throwing enough zerg at it that turning feral just makes them destroy the disruptor in a frenzy. A Psi Destroyer that rips Zerg apart via a psionic connection? Not really a thing Psionic connections have shown to be capable of doing (except explicitly with how the Dark Templar could kill Cererbrates because of something unique to the way they channeled energy, but let's ignore that little detail). Also to a certain extent it's a gameplay conceit: Blizzard loves their fields that rip your troops apart but can be taken out, ever since Dalaran in WC3.

One wonders what the Overmind was talking about with that.

The Overmind had to get all fancy with leftover Xel'naga tech left behind on the protoss homeworld to get that going. Think The Process from Star Control 2 but a lot less consent between involved parties. Original plan before that was to simulate what the protoss could do using terrans instead, a latent psionic race, though that got stopped at the prototype stage (Kerrigan) and she doesn't seem interested in continuing. Duran/Narud turning out to be some sinister alien scientist with a mysterious master who could actually do it was a major reveal / sequel plot hook because it wasn't supposed to be possible to do that by in-universe rules.

No, Mengsk not anticipating the primal Zerg makes total sense, there's no reason he would've. My beef is more that this does not appear to be anything Kerrigan planned in advance, and chiefly that Dehaka doesn't do anything interesting as a hidden ace. As mentioned, literally anyone who is not a swarm Zerg could have done the same, and if he weren't there, Raynor or Valerian could have fit the role just as easy.

No one actually plans anything in here, Mengsk has the psi thing because the mission needs a gimmick, Kerrigan has a pack of special issue commandos because they wanted to noble savage the Zerg, someone had an idea for a mission that way. But at least the psi things showed up again, unlike the beam duel psi magic thing.

Kerrigan actually did continue the experiments in a short story set between games, so that's part of the explanation. As for Narud and his apparent forgetfullness, we are in the sequel and he is making hybrid, and they are literally called hybrid because they're protoss/Zerg, so something is going on. But the main source of a lot of this is the Overmind, who has been retconned to hell, so make of that what you will.
