act 2 is on a different map. Easiest way to find it is to search for 'Shadows' in the Join custom games menu.

• Clarification: Act 2 and act 3 are both different maps that share the same hero/save data. Once you get the key to act 2, you go play act 2. Once you finally kill the Destroyer in act 2 and get the head of the Destroyer, you can play act 3.

I'm going to start working on new spell animations for the healing spells, and working on abilities for the new zerg hero.

• Edit - I just did a 4player game of act 2 (which went really smooth, minus a few details that were only noticed by me.) I noticed the High Templar Al'rak fight still wasn't giving loot. We had killed the last boss and I didn't receive the head of the destroyer because my bags were full. Another player didn't receive their Head of the Destroyer because they were in a vehicle at the time. So I'll be employing another minor update for act 2.

When the last boss dies, all players automaticly unload vehicle. Some quest items should be removed from all players inventory to make room for the head of the destroyer, and if a player goes through the end portal WITHOUT the head of the destroyer in their inventory, it should give you one.

yeah lol same here. When i play Diablo 2 I skip all dialogs because I don't !@#$ing care about the story, and when I'm working on this RPG, well story just kinda comes last. I just don't want the story to be garbage. It's really really hard writing Tal'darim lore that doesn't conflict with the 'non-cannon' and 'cannon' works featured on http:starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/StarCraft_Wiki

All this shit from these different books kinda contradict eachother. There are 3 groups of people who have seperate beleifs as to where the Tal'darim come from: The people who played sc bw campaign, the people who read the 'dark templar' non cannon book series, and the new sc2 people who 'just don't care' because we're told 'they're mysterious' and 'they're an evil Protoss faction.'

I've chosen to go with the SC2 model for the Tal'darim, of an evil protoss faction.

just taking some time to work on act 3 and implement some of the new act 2 changes to act 3, like how Zen'yth is immovable, invulnurable. There will be the debug messages that inform you when your inventory has been updated, and minor tooltip updates.

Easy stuff, there's not much that needs to be done with Act 3 really, although I sorta feel it should be telling the story better. Minor terrain updates can be expected.

When all this is finished I'll work on making the cinematic in Act 2 skippable. I forsee lots of painful work with trial/error. Should be ready for testing by tomorrow night.

Had some excellent suggestions in an act 2 earlier with someone. Reminded me of certain things I liked about WOW and Diablo 2.

• 1. The presence of crappy vendorable grey items. There isn't much color coding in the items lables. Everything's just 'good'.
• 2. The active farming of certain bosses for 1 peice of loot. Some rare items would be cool. There are already 'bonus' drops that aren't likely to occur unless you're in a 3-5 player game

@TalDarimDestroyers: Go

4.)Add some more upgrades

• I'd like to sometime in the future, and some classes could use a few more things to spend money on. I'd just like to see if theres any need/way to improve 5player games of acts 1-2 and 3 and implement a new hero first
• Edit: you sort of switch to spending your minerals on mercenaries by act 3.

5.)Increase Lvl Cap

• I might do this when i do heroic modes for acts 1 2 and 3. I might not i don't know.

6.)Why dont I gain exp on act II is it beause I am higher than the max required lvl?

• In act 2, you stop gaining exp at level 51 because you need to go play act 3. Act 3 has the level 50-80 content.

@CaptainArf: Go

try dragging the sc2map file to your Starcraft II.exe.

If that doesn't work, keep looking for a version of my map that works for you here

One of em has got to work on your unpatched version.

thanks for the feedback.

1.)Also I suggest idea of making it where if you use cheats it wont allow or it kicks you out of game?

• I agree (to a certain point). Most of the default sc2 cheat codes need to be disabled. There are a few that I will tolerate like the one that reveals the whole map.

2.)I suggest to add a arena and in future Act IV and Act V.

• I just want to get Act 2 nice and solid in multiplayer modes before I implement a new Zerg hero. It's working as intended, though there can be some startup lag. Some players get pissed off on 5player mode Act 2 when they're all on different parts of the questline, and different quests are all firing off at once.

Please fix the Act II my mission on Act II are messed up for some reason

• check your inventory for a Key to Act 2 or a Tal'darim Beacon. If you don't have either of these items, you'll need to go fight The Destroyer in Act 1.

• If there's anything wrong with Act 2 I'll find it, and fix it. I'm doing everything I can to enforce the integrity of the quest chain in Act 2 right now.

I'll be working to pour some time into act 2, because there are people still having bank loading issues in multiplayer games.

• Edit: that dark templar at the start of act 2 should no longer be killable until he starts his escourt quest.

• Edit: (act 1 and 2) Players can now reload their bank files manually through the load menu!

oh you're looking for a version that runs on a pirated copy of sc2! I might recommend thisversion

if this doesnt work, try one of myother old versions
