Q: What is the optimal way to defend Kerrigan in chrysalid in HotS?

I'm playing on expert, and I have failed few times. At first I tried just spamming those dudes that spam small units when burrowed, but this failed in the end when I was overwhelemed.

Q: Defensive Swarm Hosts?

In Heart of the Swarm, Swarm Hosts were introduced to kind of play the same Lurker did in Starcraft I. However, the Lurker could be used pretty well both offensively and defensively. In HotS however, it seems Swarm Hosts are used more as a 'siege' unit to siege defenses. Does it have a viable...

@Michel For tag wikis, it's usually a good idea to double-check, especially if it looks like a wall of text.

@fbueckert Thanks for the advise, going to follow it from now on. =)

disables constraints, truncates, renables constraints, and goes on his merry way

@SaintWacko What do you think I'm going to use these for? :P

SaintWacko

14:31

I don't think I'll actually use these dice, because the edges are just so sharp

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Will they injure you?

SaintWacko

They're going to poke holes in anything you roll them on, and get the edges dented

@OrigamiRobot Quite possibly

They're very sharp

OrigamiRobot

OrigamiRobot

Right, I mean since I didn't, I want to be able to play with them.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot I suspect you'll be spending some time filing down the edges.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Then the edges won't be colorful anymore

@OrigamiRobot Do you like splintered wood?

@OrigamiRobot Never said I would

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@SaintWacko Well, I guess price is relative. I wouldn't call $12 for a pair of dice cheap by any measure

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert What kind of dice do you think these are?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Steel, sharp-edged dice.

OrigamiRobot

14:38

@fbueckert Aluminum.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Ok, so much lighter. I wonder if they're heavy enough to divot the surface if they land on a point, though.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I'm more worried about them hitting each other.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

EQD is powered by Blogger!?

I don't... I... what?

@OrigamiRobot That'd be the last thing I'd be worried about; most surfaces are going to be softer than the dice.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Eh, there's a point that emphasis choice in the original text versus what is being quoted. It could be seen as pointless to a layperson but it's a manner of citational etiquette to note when you change things like that.

@OrigamiRobot I dunno if I agree with that completely, but enough for me to nod and say yes.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote In places where citation needs to follow guidelines, yes. This site is not MLA.

Here, it is just noise.

Grace Note

It isn't, but some people still follow such etiquette. Plus I might think that, if it precedes the quotation, then it's useful to point out "Hey, if you want to just skip the whole thing, at least read the parts I bolded for you" in fewer letters.

Fluttershy

@badp Here's a Supernature level on Just Right!

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote Yes, that's the reason to bold things, but there's nothing to gain from saying who's emphasis it is.

Since, sometimes, source material will have emphasis that, well, isn't necessary for what you're actually using the source material to illustrate.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I'd rather the shorthand than to have people say "I've emphasized the important parts". It is a signal that the emphasis is actually handy in the citation.

@GraceNote I only partake until the effort required to partake is greater than the perceived effect my presence has

user15026

@Wipqozn What.

Grace Note

@kalina I'm nomadic, myself.

tiddy

@Fluttershy Let's see.... Arqade Steam Group....look for ponies.... NR?

@kalina I don’t know that I ever grew up, and I do have friends. You’re my friend!

I just prefer to keep the option open to depart without a trace

@tiddy yes

user15026

@GraceNote I used to have more communities, like RP related stuff, then I got bored

kalina

@OrigamiRobot we are not friends, I hate you for abandoning me

FAE

@GraceNote You finally gave into Steam?

Grace Note

@kalina I just kinda do that. The amount of "We thought you died!" is alarming when I return, or if someone crosses my paths.

@FAE Of course not.

@AshleyNunn King of Dragon Pass.

@GraceNote I've had that before, I find it funny

user15026

@Wipqozn Sounds interesting

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn It is.

Grace Note

Though, more often than not, I get that more from people from the one place where I announced my departure.

Somehow they forgot.

kalina

I don't usually announce my departure, I just stop turning up

Q: Cut scenes and dialogue lines always end prematurely

All my cut scenes and conversations in the single player HotS end about half a second too soon. For example, during dialogues, person B starts talking while person A is still speaking out his last word from the previous sentence. Cut scenes also end prematurely, as I can tell from the background ...

Q: Where are the BlizzCon missions in the story?

At BlizzCon 2011, we got to play 2 or 3 of the single player missions for Heart of the Swarm. Are they even included in the campaign? If so, where are they in the story, i.e. how far into the story are they?

Q: Do the three races of starcraft 2 HOTS model rock paper sissors?

Each race has distinct differences with infantry and air. Is there such a model that makes one race superior over another? (No Bias!) An example would be Terran is better than Zerg which is better than Protoss which beats Terran again. If you grew up playing Pokemon, this is similar to the typ...

Q: How do I write better worlds using Mystcraft?

I've recently started playing Feed the Beast and started getting into the Mystcraft component. I've got a basic grasp of how to use the pages found in forgotten libraries to spawn decent worlds, but is there a particular method to structuring the pages? For example, I have a page that specifies...

if I've already made the choice to leave, it's generally safe to say I don't care about what is being left behind

Fluttershy

@tiddy I'm on your Friend list already. o_O Or I was at some point.

tiddy

What was that from?

Fluttershy

Yep. You're still there. Richard Dawkins, right?

Grace Note

It was more of an extended hiatus, but that's a story for another time.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina What? All I heard was "I want to share a BFF necklace with you." Sorry, but I dont wear jewelry. I appreciate the sentiment though.

badp

15:55

I have 5,000 different nicknames for each of the different websites and communities I've got a profile with, every nick more secret than the other, every community more compromising than the next

not

Jason Berkan

Y'all put too much effort into your online personas.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot you hate me, the feeling is mutual

tiddy

Seriously, who cares about aliases, same person

kalina

@JasonBerkan I am just me

Grace Note

@JasonBerkan I don't really think name choice is a lot of effort.

badp

15:56

I guess I'm too boring to have people bother to follow the leads between me on a site and me on the other

Jason Berkan

@GraceNote Keeping communities separate is.

kalina

@badp yes you are

badp

@kalina it pays off, really.

kalina

@JasonBerkan this is basically a requirement, depending on the communities you've previously been involved in

Ben Brocka

@badp Same here. No one must know I am devnercodergirlmegamanfanswimteam64

kalina

15:57

the world is not full of nice people

Grace Note

@JasonBerkan I don't put any effort into that. They're separate places to begin with, all I do is not do anything that would change the status quo.

Ben Brocka

No one can know the things I have done

badp

@kalina which is why I have, indeed, published no pictures of myself :P

kalina

@badp I only made that mistake once, never ever again.

badp

@kalina I'm sorry to hear that you have made that mistake, really

OrigamiRobot

15:58

@kalina Not at all. The only person I hate is Andy Samberg.

FAE

@badp I have confidential info!

kalina

@badp hey I was like a young teenager at the time

badp

@FAE Yes you do

Grace Note

@kalina I avoid this issue by just having people do fanart of me.

kalina

@GraceNote somebody actually drew a picture of the picture that I uploaded, it was a pretty good drawing too

Grace Note

15:59

That way, I don't get to share what I actually look like, but people still get to see what other people think I look like. ♪

kalina

it's a shame that somebody else immediately defaced it shortly after

Grace Note

@kalina Fancy fancy.

@kalina Not so fancy.

kalina

@GraceNote no, it wasn't at all

badp

@GraceNote but see, you have to be interesting to have people do that.
