Well, its about time another decent RTS was released. Starcraft II has been due for a longtime now, however, I don't really care how long it takes, as long as its good!!

If Blizzard get it right, the Mighty Mystics will be back playing together again I am sure!

Things that Blizzard needs to ensure starcraft has:

• Excitement - Game must be exciting to play
• Fast - Game must be fast, but not just rely on speed
• Intelligent - Strats must be possible, you must be able to invent strategy that works and others cant copy - maybe record game should be REMOVED so that strategy can be kept secret.
• Battlenet - battlenet sucks in that it matches you up with people badly. you end up playing one and losing, then you win the next, lose the next and so on - its just too predictable. - Also getting annonymous opponents is ok, but some banter (chat) before you start the game would be nice to up the ante!

If Blizzard go back to basics and Warcraft II - they will bring home a winner, and I for one will be there to play it!

BRING BACK EXCITEMENT IN COMPUTER GAMES!!

Well, 2008 seemed to fly past, but very low activity for us. Personally I have not played computer gaming much at all in the last year and I fear that is what has happenned to many of the Mighty Mystics.

Is it me or are games just not inspiring any more?

I am sure a legendary game will come out which will be simple and straightforward, but will require great skill and give us great enjoyment. I stay around waiting for that time!

These boards are safe, you can rest assured. The ruling body are fairly inactive, but Mystic Ratboy continues to show dedication beyond the call of duty. Well done ratters. I should also commend Mystic Hun for visiting the site probably more often than I!

I also thank those regular visitors who still come along despite some bad feeling in posts between members and realise that we are all here for the greater good and one day hopefully the Mighty Mystics will shine again!!!

I would like to wish all our visitors and members a Happy and Successful New Year.

Blizzard have finally bothered to explain the unit known as the Banelings. Evolutions of the Zergling, these are in black and white explosive units like your old infested terrans that walk up to enemies and blow themselves up doing a good deal of damage.

http://eu.starcraft2.com/features/zerg/baneling.xml

But also if you have not been noticing, blizzard bought the domain www.diablo3.com off the owners who have almost fully transferred over to Diablofans.com which Blizzard bought for them. This is a good indication of a Diablo based game coming out proving my theory on a Diablo MMORPG on the horizon, OR either Diablo 3 or a Diablo RTS.

Ill keep Mystics informed on what Blizzard are doing.

After a lot of research into StarCraft 2, I think with the lack of updates here that another update on it is necessary.

The SC2 Site has the Zerg Section up but only contains information on the Hydralisk and Mutalisk. These two creatures in past SC game had evolutions to such monsters like Guardians and Devourers for the Mutalisk and for the Hydralisk it had the Lurker. It is not confirmed yet if Blizzard shall keep certain evolutions of Zerg but it is probably going to happen.

The story of SC shall continue as firstly the Terran Marine, Jim Raynor. You will see in the top picture it shows the brand new briefing room for the Terrans which is inside the battlecruiser known as "Hyperion" for those who remember the hero unit Hyperion this should be a campaign cheer for you.
The terrans in the story are not as well off, though they're the most controlling race aparently at the moment, for Jim's crew, they're short on money and his men are losing faith and with the revenge of the Zerg coming ever closer, whats next for the terrans?

The Zerg and Protoss if you do not know are children from the Xel'Naga. They made the protoss first and then the Zerg and in which the Zerg killed them. But in SC2, it is heard that the story for these two races shall go over their ancestory and over the new race known as the Hybrid. For those who don't know who the Hybrid are, basically Samus Duran's work from what I know and in the process of making Protoss and Zerg fused DNA to create a new race. But Blizzard have stated that they will not be a playable race. But have said they make an entrance maybe in multiplayer. I only hope no creeps...

As for development of the game, it looks like 50% of the Terran units and buildings have been confirmed, Protoss about 70% and Zerg really about 10%. But my gamble is a beta release this summer. Open Beta hopefully.

As because I hate Blizzard's cheap way of downloading things off their site. I have went to youtube to show you the Zerg Trailer. commentated by Infested Kerrigan. This one comes after the Terran Trailer and hence goes over their immenent attack on the world. Expect the Protoss trailer soon, till then, enjoy this.
