Rule change: Posts and discussions around Frost Giant Studios and their upcoming game Stormgate are also permitted (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 years ago by [M] to c/starcraft@lemmy.world

Frost Giant is a studio formed by veterans who previously worked on Blizzard titles like StarCraft II and WarCraft III.

Stormgate is poised to be a spritual successor to SC2 and has a lot of hype surrounding it. It would be disingenous to not allow the community to discuss this game, for that reason.

Introduction & Rules - Please read if you are new (lemmy.world)

With /r/starcraft being one of the hundreds of subreddits going private indefinitely, I thought that I'd take the wheel and create a community for it on Lemmy.

This place is going to be run similarly to how things were on /r/Starcraft, with some slight rule changes. Please read and abide by the rules whilst on this community.

General Rules:

  1. Follow the lemmy.world rules outlined in this link. Please note that these are instance-wide rules that do not just apply to this community.

  2. Posts must be related to StarCraft. As long as it's related to Blizzard's hit franchise in some way (including but not limited to fan art, esports, gameplay, guides, events) it is generally welcome here.

  3. No pornographic content. This isn't NSFWLemmy...

  4. Hate speech (including homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc) is not tolerated.

Accusation Rule:

  1. Any accusations made against an organisation commentator, streamer, pro player or other stakeholder within the greater SC community/pro scene should be backed up with evidence. Baseless accusations will be removed.

  2. Do not encourage users to contact sponsors, teams or other stakeholders with negative feedback.

Temp Rule Changes:

  • 23/06/2023 - posts involving Stormgate and Frost Giant Studios are permitted, at least until the game's release. Explanation here.

My initial takeaways:

  • Terrans will have fewer ghosts, they'll be more squishy, do more damage to everything more easily but there will be fewer snipes overall. Fungal is useless against them unless you're currently charging banes at them.
  • I think we can just right click lings/zealots onto scvs once now instead of spam shift-right-clicking to make them follow.
  • Really good QOL changes <3

People still argue on team liquid whether all workers mine at the same speed, so I literally just tried it instead of theorycrafting
