What do we feel about keybind options? I think this will mess with balance. Every race is basically forced to change to easier choices now, mastering the hotkeys is a huge part of brood war.
Now you can rebind patrol aswell, making it much easier to harass with vultures etc.
Although I feel bad for the probe hotkey, not sure how I feel about this
While I get the temptation to be nostalgic and wary of change, I honestly don't think the keybinding is that significant. It's nice quality of life. While in SC2 I rebinded mutas to m to keep muscle memory consistent, if people don't want to, I don't think that's a problem. If it is one, it's a very small one.

The thing is, there is always air units for zerg. They are called overlords. If they are gone as well then sure, the valks won't have a use then. However, that wouldn't matter since the zerg wouldn't be able to produce ground units anyways...

Please someone answer this question:
I have an account on BW I've owned for a while. I read that, "Stilwell also stated that veteran StarCraft players will be able to “permanently link legacy accounts to your modern account” for online play."
By "modern account" do they mean our battle.net accounts? I want to keep the name I have on OG BW and transfer it to the updated version of the game. Thanks!

Will matchmaking come with this patch?I don't understand if Fish server implies this or not ..

ONE serious balance suggestion for the 1.18 patch, if I may:
As I was watching today's "I <3 StarCraft" The Legend BO3 match between Flash and Stork on Outsider. Stork dropped 2 dragoons with +2 attack upgrade (both 0 kills as the observer clicks to check both) at 9 o'clock to shoot down mining SCVs from other side of the mineral line, which was defended by 1 vulture. 20 seconds later when the observer re-checked, those 2 dragoons had 4 kills combined (2 kills each), which means 1 vulture + 3 scv in 20 seconds.
Link to the video (watch on youtube, timestamp 2h47m05s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GlFyCRIdLI#t=2h47m05s
Directly afterwards Flash drops 2 vultures with same attack upgrade in one of Storks's bases at 6 o'clock. Within 6 seconds those 2 vultures killed exactly 6 probes, while Stork's dragoons were able to kill just only 4 units within 20 seconds (yes, dragoons do half damage to smaller units. but if 2 vultures do 6 kills in 6 seconds, can't dragons do at least 6 kills in 3 times longer duration of 20 seconds?).
Link to the video (timestamp 2h47m28s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GlFyCRIdLI#t=2h47m28s
To get to the point, as we all know, SCVs have 60 hp while probes and drones have 40 hp. It takes whole 7 mutalisks to 1-shot an SCV but probe and drone need just 5 mutalisks. This difference is also huge and pretty unfair. Bringing SCV health to 40 hp would make it very fair, especially as it can be repaired to 100% in few seconds. Or 45 hp max (still 5 mutalisk to 1-shot it). 60 is just waay over the top as long as they can be repaired.
Some say it's because SCVs don't have regeneration like probes or drones. Still, they have direct manual healing(repair) available at any time, which is great, especially when doing bunker/scv rushes vs P and Z. Is 60 hp really necessary given these few examples? Probes and drones are still killed by vultures, marines, mutas withing 2 seconds even with their "regen". So why not make them all at least similar.
Just a thoughtful opinion.

Blizzard isn't planning to touch the game's balance.

Can anyone explain to me what UPnP and UTF-8 does?

Doesn't look like it. I think matchmaking will just be a remastered feature.

Yeah but probes mine faster and have a larger field of vision so..

Sorry my response wasn't totally serious, but you get my point. The small differences between races end up balancing nicely in the end,

Something to keep in mind is that SCVs have slower acceleration then the other workers so they technically cannot attack as fast and or mine as efficiently. SCVs also need to stay on the building they are producing so that HP is kinda needed for that.

Someone should make things clear, because im reading so much conflicting opinions here. Is the REMASTERED version going to be free to play or just the originals (the not remastered ones). Please do answer and if some admin could edit the thread because it seems misleading.

UPnP; Universal Plug and Play, meaning, you don't have to configure most routers with port forwarding and stuff but it will work automatically.
UTF-8, meaning that characters like Korean and åäö etc will work a lot better in chat and stuff.

So does anyone know what the native support for fish means? Is fish going to improve english functionality? Is it going to be easier to get on the ladder/i.e I dont need a kr number anymore or what?
Heard so many koreans declare that fish was the sole province of the korean race, I'll be more than a little pissed if there are no forthcoming changes in the uh...culture..of the server.

Will we still have the good old classic battle.net interface or will we get the shitty battle.net 2 ?

Lol if you think the Valk change affects TvZ you obviously don't know the matchup.

The blue posts on the bnet forums are the definitive answer.

Original (with 1.18 update) will be free, Remastered will not be free. But you don't have to buy Remastered as it will be same as 1.18 original but only with improved graphics. That means you can play online in a same game, using your original free 1.18 game from your pc with a friend who bought Remastered. That's what developers said.
