PartinG's just that good lol - plus the lack of units in the last build really streamlined ideas. EA should open things up a bit more!

The funny thing is that 6 of the top 10 players in the test were Vanguard - PartinG is just that good. But yeah, balance wasn't there for the test, but it was also the first time we saw Celestials in play. I wouldn't expect it to be balanced at that point

Do it! The early access starts July 30 if you buy into the founders pack and August 13 for everyone

Yeah! I streamed a bit the other day, and I'll be casting a showmatch on twitch.tv/justreliq tomorrow at 1230 ET!

@@BeoMulf lol steam not stream

Reading comprehension is hard sometimes lol! It will be on steam - although I believe they are running people through their client for playtests because steam limits the number of keys for betas iirc. Regardless, tomorrows the last day of this play period - you've still got time to use a key and try it out!

@@BeoMulf lol happens to us all. Thanks for the info.

If you're talking about art style, I'm going to say that's personal preference - some like it, some don't care, some hate it. If you're talking quality (terrain textures not detailed, matte textures on unite, etc) - that's a lot of the polish they'll do between now and 1.0. It doesnt make sense to tune the lighting perfectly on every unit when you aren't sure whether the unit model is going to be in the game fully or not, and spending dev resources on map graphics when you're building out the base game is similarly not the way FG has chosen to spend their time. Also, the game comes out in EA in two months and will continue to be developed after that point. I'd also say that comparing SG to 2010 sc2 is pretty favorable to SG - SC2 had a ton of graphical polish done with each expansion to get it to where it is today

@@BeoMulf So really your last bit doesn’t make any sense. SC2 is superior for a simple reason: the devs back then were a lot more talented and a lot smarter. Mike Morhaime personally worked on SC2. Those people are rare to find. Either way, the compay raised millions of dollars and all they could come up with is a mediocre game called Stormgate. This only fills in the gap for those who crave RTS. It doesn’t REVOLUTIONISE the genre like SC2 did!

I'm talking about graphics here. We can argue all we want about the talent of different designers, but I'm saying I think SG in its current version looks better than Wings of Liberty at launch

@@BeoMulf my first bit got deleted so I’ll write again. I played SC2 since day 1 and it was gorgeous. What are you saying? You’re deliberately lying here. The game was gorgeous looking! Graphics wise SC2 using DX9 was 10 times better looking than SG. Who are you trying to fool here?

@@luigiistratescu2756 I responded the first comment because I hoped you were asking in good faith. I look back at old footage and compare it to stormgate, and, to me Stormgate looks much better. Not as good as LOTV yet, but better than 2010 SC2. You're allowed to have a different one, but accusing me of trying to pull a past one is a bit much

Yeah, my PC died Monday and the mix in my ears was fine - apparently OBS decided to disagree. Should be fixed for future videos 😭

@@BeoMulf Oof yeah i know that feeling when OBS decides to change settings

Closed playtests of the pre-pre-alpha have been happening for a while now, and they players were some of the highest level each playtest! At the start of each playtest day for the last couple of months, the devs have organized a full lobby of these players to have a showmatch before queues opened to introduce new people to the game - and as a caster, that works great for me! Don't worry though - there are plenty of new people in the game, and there's a mmr system in place for queues, so if you decide to try it out (and you should, its a ton of fun, I've got codes to giveaway in my Discord) you should be running into other new players. Hope that answers things?

Objectively, he isn't the greatest of all time - but that doesn't mean he isn't one of the best to ever play the game!

Game 2 is the type of game that got me into SC2 in the first place. I wish we saw it more!

SC2 drops to 20 FPS whenever someone tabs out of the game - and I think they do that quite a bit. Makes it super hard to work with, but I do what I can - the games are often worth it!

Thanks for the upload!

Different games for different people! I can tell you that I look forward to every playtest and have a ton of fun with it

@@BeoMulf Since I got a key I don't have anything to lose to try it out

There's going to be a playtest starting Thursday - you can get an instant access code on my discord if there are still some unclaimed, and I'll be giving out others when I stream!

Don't worry - I've got plenty of SC2 on the way. Figured this was a great opportunity to try some things since I had run out of stormgate content for the time being 😅

@@BeoMulf ever heard of Eternal Return? Its also Moba + Battle Royale and sadly such an underrated game :(

@@mr.leanflakes-highlights1556 I never have! I see people comparing this to battlerite, but this is my first exposure to the mixed genre (even if I do enjoy dota quite a bit!)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️

Of course it is! This was the first playtest that Celestials were added to the game - it's honestly impressive the game was balanced as it was during this test
