Mod note: It is likely that this is an internal testing version not intended to be public yet. Battle.net reportedly does not work after patching, which indicates that it's not yet "released".

A couple questions:

1) Do you know when this patch was available on the FTP?
2) Everything seems cosmetic except the first one -- changing turn rates may affect balance. Can you play the game on 1.17.0 to confirm if turn rates are noticeably faster? Experiment with some slow turn rate units such as the Valkyrie.

Well once all your passwords and credit card number will be stolen, surely in few days you will notice a difference

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

btw amazing, when you enter ftp.blizzard.com you ping ftp://blizzard.com not http://ftp.blizzard.com
if you connect to a ftp server, url can't start with http, it is not the same protocol even using an internet browser.

Is there actually any point to updating if all the servers aren't going to update?

there's really no reason to patch it unless iccup/fish are compatible w/ the patch right?

I don‘t know why "https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/classic-game-patches" don’t update the url,but if you pay attention to the url of the patch in it you will find the urls are both "http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/broodwar/patches/PC/"

How many mods does it take to have a thread note or something?

This is a legitimate patch, the link comes from an official url owned by Blizzard, the patch is digitally signed on July 11, 2016 at 9:04 AM.

Why would ftp.blizzard.com take you to a site with HTTP? Entirely different protocol.
Do people really believe this guy have DNS hijacked blizzard.com or something? Even if you do, the registration information is easily obtainable.

I think the reason that blizzard doesn’t release it is the patch of MAC is still making,they wan't to release them together.

If you still believe it,you can run it by virtual machine.Though I think you don‘t know how to use virtual machine even you don't what it is.
