Okay, I am putting on my walking shoes and heading over to their headquarters. If I don't return in a hour or so send the marines to look for me for I mostly would have been taken out by a cloaked terran ghost.
Dumb question but how do i reply to posts and do the nestled post thing?
Hi again. So I visited Blizzard and here is what went down. Walked into the lobby after going through the security guard and introduced myself as a dedicated fan of SC2 to the receptionist and asked to speak with someone on the SC2 team about the beta phase 2 launch. I at first got rejected but kept pressing and eventually was able to speak with some manager who only offered that it will be up "soon" and he is not allowed to comment further do to company privacy policies. I was then politely shown the door. Sorry that I could not offer more but you should know their headquarters seems like a great place to work.
For those of you having trouble downloading or are not sure if you are updated you should have patches 16, 17, 18, and 19. 19 is the big one. I had deleted and reuploaded since the beta went down so you have to do the following to get the new updates. Special thanks to Dr4goN and Nick12322. This is exactly what I did: Step 1: Create a .txt file in your wordpad Step 2: Type in the following line if you are in Europe: set patchlist eu-beta.patch.battle.net:1120/patch Type in the following line if you are in the US: set patchlist us-beta.patch.battle.net:1120/patch Step 3: save it as realmlist.stf and be sure you type in the .stf as that makes it a launch app. Step 4: Move it to your “Support” folder in your SC2 folder. Step 5: Launch game and it will download Patch 15 first and then update scripts before downloading the large files for patches 16 to 19. Step 6: You will see a new screen in the login with a message that system is down for maintenance. Background is changed. Note that the battle.net uploading bar has changed from green to a yellow & black bar. Not sure if there is a difference for Macs but it should be the same method.
Nice try though. =) I bet thier HQ is even more epic then Googelplex.
Yes their HQ is nice and clean. A little less grand than the Goolgeplex which I had visited last year but they have a great less-is-more atmosphere and everyone I met was extremely professional. Look me up when phase 2 gets going (id is battlemage) and let's play! Anyone know how do we get into matches with the pros and also to get sponsored for the shoutcasts?
Regards, Battlemage
Nice, I also visited the Googleplex last year (or was it two years ago?)
I have a contact at blizzard (sister's friend's brother, sounds ridiculous, I know) and was offered to go to blizz HQ at some point, but it's a 10 hour drive from here. D:

Btw, is there somewere you can bet on when the beta will be up again? I bet 5 lings on 08:00 KST
ill raise to 6 lings on 8 est
I got 5 hydras and an overlord on 9 est
I bet my lings and a queen on tomorrow morning at 9 am PST so it will give them time before the weekend and having staff on hand to deal with a major problem if they launch late night. I hope you are right about today for sure!
Man that is freaking awesome. I'm new to TL since SC2 Beta started. I am truly impressed with this community. I felt like war3 community was never nearly this alive. I'm happy to be an SC player again.
