Yeah, pretty much splitting workers just depends on your hardware, the better PC you have, the easier it is to load and split with no lag at start. I like it a lot, although I currently have it off for when I go back to WoL.

What about the worker count stuff above geyser and CC/nexus/hatch? Does that get disabled in customs?

That means you are playing WoL. Old maps are bugged, play new HotS ones.

You can disable it manualy in you settings.

That's why you should complain about worker counter thing that actually take some skill away not something that doesn't even make a difference like autominning at start.

Definitely enjoying the game, I'm still terrible and sometimes finding it hard to work in the new units, especially ZvZ

geysers already give you worker count in WoL
townhall worker count is new. not sure if i oppose the ide or not. would save me all of 1 sec as i box my harvesters to check the count, and i'm only high plat.
Very little actual effect at my skill level, so pretty much no effect diamond and up. so honestly? I don't care. Tiny shit being easier for mid plat and lower is all gravy if you ask me. Won't stop their macro and mechanics from being bad, but might at least tell them that they have too many or too few workers. It's not like they will suddenly hit every scv until optimum saturation and never miss a round of production.

omg i want the game soooooooooooooooooo bad

Doesn't matter. If no tournament requires you to do that, then everyone will just use it. Why would you disable something that makes your game easier unless you can't have it enabled, for custom maps, or for tournaments? The answer is you wouldn't. And that's what bugs me about the worker count thing. You don't need to make it easier for the pros, what's the point in being a pro then.

I did on page 18. But threads move too fast for people to keep up or want to read 18+ pages before catching up on a thread.
The auto mine and the worker count is a no-go. Acting like the auto-mine is just dirty off the shoulder is a terrible attitude to have and I will not be belittled for it. I have an opinion and its a terrible mechanic that takes just that much more off of the skill cap. Sry, that not everyone agree's, but there are a lot of other people that agree with me on this issue.
Catering exclusively to the "newbs" is one of the reasons D3 flopped.
Edit: Just look how people are complaining about the Warhound's special attack being auto and how it takes away skill. Yet, no one complains about Charge being auto on the Zealots. Or how the Burrow Charge on Ultras isn't taking away skill. (However, I do believe they [Blizzard] did change the Burrow Charge to a manual section)

The only thing it changes is that laggers don't suffer the disadvantage of not being able to split immediately. Really awesome for AU players. Playing in Aus is playing cross server, even on SEA.
Why aren't you playing on the SEA servers with the Australian players which Blizzard was generous enough to build for you!!!

Maybe see it this way:
When a pro can insta check his worker count/saturation, they have more time for awesome drop play or army splitting or fancy tactics.....? ;P

So the Battle Hellion has a different set of voice quotes than the normal Hellion. Not sure if the normal Hellion's quotes are changed, though. The easter egg quotes are alright imo, with the Battle Hellion going "transform and roll out" as one of its quotes.
The Battle Hellion's attack animation seems to be bugged for me. I'm playing on low, but I can't see its spray. I tried tweaking the effects setting, but it makes no difference. I suspect it's probably due to a different setting.
No change in Terran music so far.
They moved the SCV build icon down a square on the UI grid. It's actually really annoying for someone like me who uses grid hotkeys, since I'm used to pressing 'q' instead of 'a' to build SCVs.

Wow, now that's really annoying, playing on grid layout myself. It might take a few games to get used to this.

I feel like it would take me longer to squint and see that text than it would to box my minerals and instantly count how many workers I have. If there was an HUD that gave you your worker count for every base, then I could see cause for the complaints. But this? QQers are silly.

I don't really think the worker count and auto-mining are problem at all. Pro and top players should be able to check it just by having a glace at the base right now, so it does not make any different.
SC2 right now need an injection of new players, so I think anything that make learning the game faster/easier is a good thing.

@ kharnage:
Try New Zealand. 
I rather like SEA, although, there are a lot of Zergs.
