hot avatar makes up for it

What's the deal with campaign mode? I can't get the last point of Protoss reseach. I do haven's fall (thought I did safe haven when I had to choose between the scientist and the protoss executor) and at the end it tells me i got 3/3 toss research, but then I check the lab area and I'm still a point short.

Is it only possible to get all tech points for toss or zerg, not both?

so you're doing a mission out side of the campaign and wondering why you're not getting campaign rewards for it?

No hacks as far as I know, yet.

People are just this bad at the game. The level of play outside of 1v1 is LOL-terrible.

I have NO IDEA how the "favored" or points system works.

I have gotten 5 points for a win over a 60% winrate 700 diamond.
I have gotten 13 points for a win over a 53% winrate 700 diamond.

My opponents are consistently being "slightly favored" or "favored" over me despite having far fewer games, roughly equivalent winrate, and less points.

Yes, considering I've gotten credit for every other campaign reward I've done outside the campaign.

have you completed an excluded mission before?

how far in are you? I got a ton extra for both with out ever trying when I finished the campaign.

I think I'm on the second to last mission. Just finished Gates of Hell.

I missed a lot of tech points going thru the normal campaign and used the console (or whatever it's called) to access the old missions and get the tech points. I think the Haven's Fall/Safe Haven is the only excluded mission choice that I had to option to redo. (The Nova ghost mission isn't an option after going with Tosh)

I'd really love that reactor upgrade for the last couple missions, but aside from Haven's Fall there aren't any missions that have available toss tech points.

**EDIT**

Just checked gamefaqs and saw a mission that didn't sound familiar - A Sinister Turn. Not available in my archives. Shows I've done 20/26 missions, but I'm on Char and can't get back to the ship. Guess I'm just boned?

yeah, means you skipped 4 missions I think. or skipped 3 and missed the secret one

Oh well, another game down. I've beat HL2e1 & e2, SC2, and a game of CiV4 since quitting WoW Monday. Starting to run out of games!

so like one of my best friends from back in the day and I are playing 2v2 a lot, I am decent he is kind of awful. I like the fact that we have found something that allows us to keep in contact, but this is frustrating.

more frustrating than talking like a valley girl?

the sentence I typed is perfectly in line with accepted conversation grammar

aka go **** yourself

also, [x] cute story

Why don't you play one of your tournament games?

no one besides a 15 year old girl has ever started a sentence with "so like"

lol dude it's such a ridiculous interpretation, only someone well acquainted with that sort of ******ed thought process could possibly feel the need to express such a dumb opinion. i'm all for not taking games too seriously, but there's no need to be a pretentious *** about it

so just played to ladder matches where i won and did not receive any points. wtf?

haha, exact same thing just happened to me. The guy I beat was #1 diamond so I just assumed I got a boat load of points, but then I check and it just shows nothing.

Looks like it is a big issue. Like 5 threads in the bugs section on the battle.net forums. They said they are "looking into it." Nothing else said by Blizzard yet.

There are two points systems. The one they show everyone and the one they use to determine which league you go into and who is favored over whom.

I'm noticing a trend in the 3v3 placement games - 1 player carries a whole team. It's roughly 3v1 in most games, where the 1 is crazy elite, and the other 3 are pretty much useless. (I include myself in that category)

yeah wtf. why put the effort into providing us with a pretty complex ranking/division system but have it be meaningless and instead hide the true ranking/placement methods?

This I know.

However, if I'm leading in points, winrate, and games played... what exactly are they measuring in the other metric to say that he's somehow favored over me?

apm ldo, the true separator
