BNet Squelcher
Beta Phase 2 Started1 year 11 months ago
by Tiger0211
Update: Beta Phase 2 has started! It will run through July 19.
There are no patch notes yet, (Update: they're posted now, and a notable undocumented change is that the editor won't work without being authenticated on B.net once - which means that at the moment it's useless; the editor also got a new icon and a somewhat reworked interface and buttons) but a large patch (about 470 MB) has recently been released, and there are some preliminary reports that the beta is back up in the EU.

Update: After very negative feedback, Blizzard has retracted this. They will not be adding Real ID names to the forums (at least not now).
Blizzard has announced that all posts on the official forums will show the user's Real ID name (and optionally a primary character name), to curb trolling and have other positive effects. As you may expect, this move has received a mixed reaction.

patch notes up.

only complaint i have is that ultras can't be stunned... so why on earth would any terran ever research 250mm cannons?

Called it. An only half-bad idea that doesn't bother me half so much as the place it's coming from.

Can't believe infested terrans are still here...

Finished the patch, yet it STILL says B.net is down for maintenance. Anybody else having this problem?

#5 copyrightdna United States(us)

 
yeah. probably not a problem so much as bnet is actually down though. which is kinda lame. must be some technical reason to release the patch in advance like this. or maybe just to get the hype machine rolling which would be pretty unnecessary.

Still does a lot of damage to the Ultra. Kills it quickly.

Seems like Bnet is down? Surprised? :P

yeaaaaah... i'm not to concerned with that whole exchange though cos it was the one overseer ability i wouldn't use unless it was a total emergency, and frenzy for infested terran is like substituting 0 for 0 so whatever.

overseers are the bomb either way though. i always get at least one or two offensive overseers in addition to the ones protecting my base (unless i just plain can't afford them)

I was hoping for a cool off the bat number but all I got was "674". Call code of Nauru and the year a new king of Wessex came to the throne. Two of them actually. Also the same year the queen of Wessex died.

"a new icon" - the icon shown on StarCraft II Editor.exe and any shortcuts to it was changed
"UI icon updates" - some minor changes to the UI, including slightly different buttons (the Terrain, Triggers, Data, etc. buttons)
"requires authentication to use" - requires you to enter your login info once to verify that you have a valid account.

A fairly big change I've noticed is that the move and attack speeds are now shown as numbers (e.g. 2.5) instead of names (e.g. Normal). Any opinions on if the wiki should keep names at all now? I think it could be useful to keep them for a quick idea of how fast the move/attack speed is without being familiar with the numbers. But either way, now we'd want to change it to make the numbers more prominent than the names. I probably won't be able to do much with this as I am getting ready to leave for a month.

Also, all AI difficulties are now available, along with all modes (1v1...4v4, FFA, co-op vs AI)! Yay!

Yep, it only costs 25 energy and it can be cast while the Infestor is burrowed, so it's much better now.

?

i thought the overseer produced the infested terrans?

or did it get swapped back..

#25 Z_z Argentina(ar)

 
Its an infestor skill now, wasnt really a swap, overseers didnt get shit. Both infested terran an neural parasite skills changed in the new patch (those changes arent on the notes)

looks like units can autoburrow now, dunno how it works

I fear for SC2. Really if a simple patch can render the game totally useless and they don't see to have any way to test it beforehand there will be chaos with every new patch.

Lol instead of having replays break every patch we now have the game break every patch.

Yes I know that but the game gets broken in so many ways with just the minimal of changes. Like one patch the pause button while you watch replays stopped functioning properly. And there was no replay or anything related changes that patch.

How the hell did that happen? O.o

I know that this is the test that we the beta testers test for bugs but developers usually have their programs quite functional most of the time. Even the latest develpment versions of some programs are surprisingly stable and SC2 breaks in strange ways like it is no ones business.

They've been able to autounburrow for a while now. They're still not able to autoburrow. It works by unburrowing when an enemy comes within a certain range of the unit (e.g. Zergling is 2 range ground enemies only, Hydralisk is 5 range ground and air).

Games still pretty solid since phase 2. I thinl Ultralisk still seem weak, but I feel the game is well polished. I even did a medivac drop against another terran and my ghost was able to get off two nukes. My ghost's rampage ended with 69 kills.

I still have the replay, the game was quite epic.

How good did that feel to nuke a guys base 2 times when he wasnt even expecting it? I have only done nukes in a few games and most the time i use them in 2v2s and go straight for 4 nukes to the command centers

beta just died./. had the funniest random FFA ever.. and it was on livestream too..

died before the major 200/200 army clashes happened dammit... so much harassment that game i got drone rushed, 3 hellion harassed, and i STILL kept in the game :D


edit: this is proof that cross region play excuses that blizzard give is BSpeople in our 8 player FFA were from america and some from EU and there was no noticable lag whatsoever

and in sc1 i lagged pretty much every game, even iccup. so im hoping cross region play does get implemented, theres no excuses imo

It looks like the wiki has most of the undocumented changes, like to the Infestor's spells and certain spell cooldowns, but I added the rather minor change to the Ultralisk's attack.

Also of note is that nothing but real Massive units and Vortex can get through Force Fields now. No burrowing Roaches, no Hallucinated Colossi.

that's for the best i think, breaking forcefields with hallucinations was kinda cute but probably not good for the long term health of the game.

It felt great, I was very happy for the rest of the day. To bad the ghost didn't survive the flight home :(.

A viking took him out, yet another epic ending to an epic hero.
