Should be back up by now according to the announcement?
Someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.

I've been F5'ing the official forums, but seems like they may not be up yet right now.

They only did maintenance on the servers, they haven't pushed out a patch yet.

Turn rate can be switched from 2, 4, 8, 12, 16. (16 is fastest). Also, had to use Starcraft Launcher in install directory in order to update (wasn't updating automatically).

edit: i didnt get a notification to update the patch, i had to do it manually by going into my bw folder and clicking "starcraft launcher"

Looking at this, I'm guessing L5, L4, L3, L2, L1 for 2,4,8,12,16 respectively. Not entirely sure.

Edit: Auto-prompt for the update is up:

Thanks for the reports all -

The update should now be available via Battle.net. Please report back if you experience the contrary

I thought 1.18 was L2 previously.

Turn rate is the frequency per second at which your actions are submitted by the game.

The turn rate of LAN was commonly referred to as L2, and equates to 12 turns per second. Prior to this feature, games were set to 12 turns per second in 1.18.

The better your internet connection - and that of your opponents - the more turns per second can be supported. Areas of the world with top tier internet like Korea can easily use the 16 turns per second, or L1 as you will likely seen in Lobby name listings.

Cheers,
Pete

I think playing on 12 or 16 on Fish will make foreigners lag vs koreans. I'm testing all the turn rates vs comps atm and turn rate "8" feels really good as well, theres no unit delay or anything when i issue a command. There's a noticeable delay on 2 tho.

Apparently the turn rate was set to 12 before this update but im skeptical about that. I tested a 12 turn rate game vs a korean and it felt way laggier than it was prior to this patch.
