Thanks to Reddit sleuths, everyone can try the LotV test maps by following instructions here. Note: This is not a beta key, it is simply access to Vs. AI and a Unit Tester. I have no idea how cool with this Blizzard is or is not, use at your own risk. | ||

Probably won't be as notable as, say, stalkers vs mines. oh, for sure the stalker/mine dynamic is a good fix. just curious about side effects. i'm not complaining, in fact i was thinking it might be a pretty nice boost to the patrol command in general (i might actually rebind it off of P!) | ||

System specs aren't registered anymore at account/beta settings. So I guess they stopped checking that.. I think they use the Battle.net app to check it now, so you don't have to manually download their thing to check your system stats like you did before. | ||

It might also help with general kiting with attack move, like Stalkers vs Marines. | ||

Also I don't think scan range effects the distance from which units will engage, only the rate at which they engage them. But I could be wrong about the second part. | ||

Sometimes when you amove commant your units past Probes and you don't notice, your unit might not attack because the Probe is just slightly too far away. I don't know for sure, but this might change that mechanic slightly? | ||

The word on the street is that you want either extremely high end or extremely low end. You have a fairly new GPU so I think you're in good shape. | ||

There will be multiple waves and beta for LotV is expected to be extensive (relative to HotS). Edit: confirmed http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/30hzqr/any_way_to_increase_chances_for_testing_of_lotv/ Start laddering aggressively now. | ||

And do you work as a game developer? That's what I thought. No programmer is going to say "You can't just make a random piece of software run in parallel". | ||
