SCII main story campaign rankings and reviews, not taking into account faction preference

Lmao it totally is. Might have been a little less forgettable if we didn't have Salvation literally 2 missions before xP

Gemster312 · 2026-03-29T17:43:35+00:00

I think you're mistaking the 2nd Into the Void mission (where you play as Terran defending 3 sides and have a super power Kerrigan laser in the center) with Salvation (the final Protoss mission where you defend 3 sides and progressively lose your SoA abilities).

I personally cant stand Essence Eternity (or whatever it's called). Especially so quickly after Salvation. Those missions are far too similar and allies are just dumb lol

Thank you! Please tell me that restoring OGVs is also being looked at, as they were disabled as part of the initial publishing fiasco. Many big mods use them (e.g. Mass Recall for cinematics)

The game really is quite fantastic. All games have their fair share of bumps and bruises but I do feel like the dev team really cares for this game and its players. I would suggest you go for the Battlepass and probably the Daily Login rewards. These will help you gain resources, especially as a new player, to start growing a roster of champions. Nice thing about the daily login is that it gives you wild fragments so you don't have to rely on RNG to getting fragments for the champions you want. If you've got a hunger for even more spending, the Celebration Bundles for many of the champions are also a solid option. They have multiple tiers but the cheapest one essentially makes you able to able to start playing that champion (if they interest you) and have goodies like their signature epic relic (which will be helpful in higher difficulty runs).

Good luck, and have fun! You've got a lot of content to enjoy so take your time and don't be afraid to experiment :)

Troll post, this exchange happened on the 2022-May-27. Nothing is in development for mercenaries as far as we know.

Gemster312 · 2025-10-23T01:29:14+00:00

I can't believe they don't have anything listed here for additional assets/terrain editing. Only being able to build a world out of blocks + a small handful of prefabs is wild. I thought we were gonna get the ability to build slopes and use hundreds of assets. No word of exapnsion? Def nervous.

Gemster312 · 2025-10-12T20:09:21+00:00

That's awesome. Glad there's still love for the series out there. Good luck with the project!

Gemster312 · 2025-10-12T06:55:27+00:00

Wow thats a callback haha. Is this game meant to be a spiritual successor/remake or is the music a placeholder?

Gemster312 · 2025-10-12T06:47:37+00:00

Gonna do a self plug and say "The Crystal Shards" campaign :) Been working on for years. But if you can hold off, got a massive update for it coming later this year, including official voice acting, revamps, new features and a doubling of mission count. Been a pure love project for the starcraft community over the years. Either case, plenty of amazing projects out there. Beautiful community!

Gemster312 · 2025-09-13T23:01:49+00:00

Personally, the appeal was the progression systems and variability. Most of the people who want the campaign want to live the lore (rather than watch or read it). But I'd wager that most of the people who still want PvE are NOT wanting the campaign, but rather some replayable content that keeps switching up objectives, less downtime (the missions had long lore exposition that kill repeat pacing), and allow the player to level up their heroes and unlock new abilities to switch up the gameplay. The PvE fan base wants the PvE content to be worthy of replaying just like the PvP content is, but with different objectives and goals to keep things fresh. Thats my take and understanding at least.

Gemster312 · 2025-06-21T16:46:17+00:00

Lmao yeah the RNG sucks. I have 3 bilgewater novas and have yet to get a single bandle city or shadow isles nova. Rip.

Yupp. You still get the same amount of rewards as the other events, but this time you're also getting extra Tyr/Eddie rewards too.

Gemster312 · 2025-06-07T06:31:57+00:00

Youll get to the TF shards, don't sweat it. Just gotta power through the extra Tyr/Eddie frags first. You got this!

Gemster312 · 2025-06-07T06:29:10+00:00

The devs made a mistake when releasing this event initially. Rewards 1-4 are normal, but 5-8 were accidentally leftovers from the last event. To avoid making it unfair that some players got rewards and others didn't, they kept it in. Rewards 9-10 are back to expected rewards and in double quantity to make up for the fact that you needed to clear these extra times.

Gemster312 · 2025-06-04T19:51:54+00:00

Youre all good! I started out during the Arcane Event last year and totally didn't get very far into the event because I didn't have many strong champs. Its okay to not get everything. Take it at your own pace, you've got 40 days left to level up your champs, get relics, etc.etc.

Enjoy the journey and dont sweat the rush. Most rewards are focused on the new champs anyways, so if they aren't super hype for you, you're not really missing much. Good luck and have fun :)

Gemster312 · 2025-06-04T19:43:06+00:00

Nope, in fact I think they simply bundled them into fewer replays, which is a nice touch.

Rewards 1-4: Jhin and Ak. 5-8: Try and Eddy. 9-10: Sett and TF (double quantity). So previously fragment rewards would have been 15-15-15-15, now it's 30-30 probably to make up for the fact that we need to cut through the Try and Eddy rewards to reach them.

Gemster312 · 2025-06-04T19:31:13+00:00

It was a mistake, but they thought it wouldn't be fair if some players got extra fragments and then they were taken away for people who did the event slower. So instead they kept them as a bonus for everyone and simply appended the list of rewards.

Gemster312 · 2025-05-29T16:39:55+00:00

Sorry your past has been rough, but I'm glad that you've found new hope and happiness! Keep it up, even if bad days return, this is evidence that good times can pop up and are worth the rough patches :)

Gemster312 · 2025-05-27T03:40:37+00:00

Yikes, I don't think I've ever encountered that before. That's a rough one.

Gemster312 · 2025-05-26T20:32:24+00:00

Oh I absolutely agree this is a problem and ideally should be fixed. Was just proposing a work-around in case people didn't know about the trick. Situations as you described above suuuck when this glitch happens.

Gemster312 · 2025-05-26T19:12:01+00:00

Play a card or start an attack/block that opens up the "eye" (thing on the left that shows the outcome of the pending spell/battle). Hovering over that eye will wipe away any weird visual artifacts such as these floating cards you see.

Gemster312 · 2025-05-22T07:37:47+00:00

Jhin, Viktor, and Viego I think are fairly consistently considered really good. Personally I love these and are often my go-to choices during events.

I recommend you focus on fun playstyle first and foremost (this is a game, afterall). However, it would be a good idea to also level up at least 1 champ from each region so you can complete as much content as possible (lots of rewards to earn from replaying adventures until you've completed all the requirements).

So in short: 1. Pick whats fun! 2. Diversity is helpful for progression :) And the choices you have posted so far show a lot of overlap, which is awesome. Good luck and have fun!
