a few questions:

is it true that you can not warp to highground with a lowground pylon anymore or is it just building buildings with lowground pylons on highground? what about from highground to lowground? I dont like both changes at all.

how much range does stasis of the mothership have? does it work against colossi as well?

in my opionion the mechanism of lowground pylons for highground warpins made the game much more interesting and dynamic as its very good for harras or some light aggression (maybe from multiple angles) that does not go through the front door.

by harass or light agression i assume you mean extremely hard to hold off push that allows you to instantly reinforce inside of a zergs main base faster than they can actually get there reinforcements there (essentially giving the protoss the defenders advantage) and an extremely advantageous position where FFs can essentially make it so that the main has to be sacrificed

you can do that with warp prisms too and having scattered pylons around is more interesting gameplay because it's more positional

Why not just make a new account on us.battle.net and use that?

Is it reasonable to assume that the beta will release on a Tuesday, since that's when Blizzard does their maintenance? And so it would probably be tomorrow or next Tuesday?

based on the latest interview it wont be tomorrow but theres no reason they have to release ona tuesday the beta will have a different client you DL and it makes less sense to release it on a tuesday when there busy with server maintanence, better to release it some other day when they have more manpower to monitor it and make sure no bugs in the actual client are popping up

What did they say in the interview about when it would be released?

Also, I shouldn't have to ,... I just need a CD key from an online source basically which ISN'T Blizzard - on launch day, with US pricing.

"when balance was fixed"... it appeared it was at least a little ways off. I'm thinking early September.

There have been quite a few posts regarding the strength of the widow mine. Here is a suggestion that might make it both balanced and interesting.

When the mine attaches itself to a unit, it doesn't do the damage in one explosion but rather over time (starting right after the attachment), essentially exactly like irradiate in BW. This would do AOE damage to both friendly and enemy units (to make it more interesting and to address possible balance issues).

This would mean that, although you cannot avoid taking damage on the primary unit, you can't completely avoid taking damage on some of your other units either - if they are bunched up. This means that, even if the mine attaches itself to a ling, it will not be a total waste of money and supply for the terran player.

In addition, this will allow the zerg player to send "irradiated" units into the enemy force to get some payback.

As a final bonus, this would make the mine more noob friendly with regard to drops in the mineral line, as it would not kill all the workers seemingly without warning. You would the "units under attack" alert, and then have a few precious seconds to separate the workers out.

In conclusion, I believe this would address most, if not all, of the issues currently experienced and debated.
