Is there anyway to select fullscreen and have the black bars on the side? Everytime I select fullscreen it goes streched 16.

how long did blizzard take to integrate chat channels in bnet 0.2 for sc2?
why do we have to tell blizzard to differentiate between melee and non-melee games, when it was differentiated for like 19 years? its a no brainer, but somebody at blizzard thought it was a good idea to change that.
in case you have never played L1, L1 with a lower latency compared to L2 means that the connection between both players needs to be "way better" compared to L2 in order for the game to not lag, which is why even on fish between koreans only, L1 was very rarely played.
whats wrong with boycotting a patch when we have to wait for a generous 3rd party launcher maker to fix all the problems blizzard conjured out of thin air.
yesterday i didnt even knew what PTR was, but its just an excuse to say "we are beta, please give us time and ignore all problems"

I share most of your concerns, however I'm not angry...yet.

This is first build from what sounds like a small, somewhat isolated group of devs. Thinking of them as corporate "Blizzard" is probably not quite right.

Either way, this small group seems to have been focused primarily on making BW gameplay itself and gfx correct without messing anything up. They may not have focused as much on UI, and/or spent as much time soliciting feedback about that when getting the game right is also a huge priority.

It's quite possible they released 1.18 this early to everyone for just that exact reason: to get feedback on what is good and bad about the new UI changed and compatibility.

I'd really urge you to be concerned, but withhold judgement on what this dev team is doing until we see how they respond to our comments. Not only because there interview truly did make it sound like they intended to listen closely to what the community had to say, but also because it's a known phenomenon that if you tell someone they are wrong, they will tend to become even more entrenched in their belief. I think open minded, constructive criticism is the best at this stage.

If the responses they begin to give are negative or fail to listen to anything respected BW players and TL BW community is saying, or there is a lack of responses...that is the time for being angry and preparing for the worst.

I also think that casual players simply won't care what we care about. Hence people who start playing BW free will be like "OMG AMAZING FREE GAME WOT"

For now, I will stick to Iccup. That may be even beneficial for the scene because newcomers won't have to play against veterans and go 2-150 or something

Holy fuck I wasn't ready for this. Hope it will download fast.

EDIT:
Graphics look horrible somehow on my PC. Also my mouse speed fucked up.

They changed something inside gameplay. WTF? I could spam pushing down my key while clicking with left button now I can't. You know that spam when you click to minerals manually and never release your finger from your f.e. CC/hatchery?

Is it just me or the lag is mostly unbearable? I know I'm from Brazil, but I play normally on ICCup. What's even more weird is that most games are 5 green bars to me (3v3 BGH), but every single game I played lagged terribly (that long pause in 0 seconds countdown). Is it me? It also happens in two 1v1 games I played, although the lag was smaller.
