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.

I guess we will have to wait and see in few days.
Yeah, this is making me second guess some of the quoted information, the data files I got from the client have the adept at 2 food, not 3.
The ravager info is seemingly correct, for now, 120 max life.
For the cost, it's consistent with other morphing units: banelings are listed in the data as 50/25 when in reality to morph them costs 25/25 (minus the cost of the single ling)
The weapon data by the looks of it is accurate, but I agree is insane, roaches have a period of 2 and 16 damage this has 0.8 and 16 damage and 6 range... that's not going to fly, unless all data from LotV includes the new time scaling? Not sure.

I like Cyclone as fight-unit but it looks quite terrible. It look like a faulty design. Its apperance doesnt fit to terran, same with wm.
Do you have to download sc2switcher to play with the new units? does anyone have the link to axioms map or tell me the right words to google to find it? plz and thank u!!

The thing is, Lurker has the real morph cost of 50/100, it is supposed to be just morph cost, not whole unit with previous unit taken into account.

I think that's just a mistake of the way it was written down, the data has 150/150 for the lurker cost which is consistent with it being 50/100 morph cost when you take away the 100/50 for the hydra.

"For now, enjoy the client by getting your favorite map and making a Shortcut of the Beta's SC2Switcher and adding this line to the Target: -run "Address of Map you want to run"" source : some guy a few pages ealier

Roach/ravager looks super fucking scary right now, and adepts look meh vs roaches too.

Check if the bnet app downloads something (e.g. performance monitor/task manager). "Initializing" is the applications horrible way of telling you that it is downloading something, but it doesn't tell you how big it is. In one D3 patch that was 300mb and if you have a slow connection that means that you are "initializing" for 2-3 hours...

The first wave i believe was the top players from WCS (it seems like you needed at least one ro8 finish in a qualifier or something like that) and has already been sent out. The first wave of random invites doesn't seem to be out yet though.

It stays at initializing for 3-4 hours, while ALREADY downloaded 6.26 gb are in folder (packed into data.001 - data.006 files)
I tried to download SC2 patch from US server (the latest one, 2.1.9 as I remember) and it downloaded pretty quickly (2megabyte/sec) and fast with displaying download progress/bar. But with lotv beta it still stays at Initializing stage.

Yeah, but does Agent.exe download something? Monitor it with your operating system's performance monitor. It can tell you which executable downloads from which IP and how much it is downloading.
If you exit the launcher, make sure that you kill the Agent.exe... if one keeps running, the new one cannot start any dl. Also, I would try to run the app in admin mode in case there are problems (I remember there was a possibility for a problem when you didn't do that in the app's early days).
Btw, 5.5gb of the data in the installation folder are not really downloaded. I don't think it converted that from another installation on my computer and my internet is not fast enough to dl 5gb in a few minutes, so those files are really weird. Downloading that much would take me a few days at my current location. =/
