Cloaken:
For more context - we experienced hardware failures on the authorization side of SCII right before the beta deploy was going to go live. This in turn caused the beta deploy to get pushed back, and even now seems to be causing a bit of havoc in the live service. We're working quickly to get it sorted out.

Cloaken:

Hello everyone -

The team continued to experience issues with the deployment of the beta patch late into this morning. We will be able to make our next significant update on information regarding the status of the deployment by noon (PDT) today. Feel free to check back here then.

Thanks again for your patience here, everyone. We are certainly anxious to get you in there and get your feedback.

Heh... Was just going to post it... We're $%^&ed. Maybe they will write something more useful in 2-3 hours then.


This might be a preview of someone trying to get more useful information:


Community Manager: What is wrong, we want to tell people what is going on?

Programmer: I don’t know what is broken. If I knew, I would fix it. They will get to know when I know.

Community Manager: Well everyone is trying to connect and we want to give them an ETA.

Programmer: Yeah, they should stop doing that, it isn’t helping.

Community Manager: Well people have been looking forward to these changes and they are kind of unhappy it isn’t working.

Programmer: You told them it was a free beta right? The kind when they don’t pay for anything.

Community Manager: Well yeah, but still, we need something.

Programmer: Look, it’s a massive UI overhaul with an improved back end, updated in game physics, new data collection and profile system. I am happy it even installed. Tell them we are looking into it.


Just a theory, but that is kind of what it is like when stuff breaks in my office.


Please refrain from using rationality and common sense on this board. It unnecessarily upsets those that are overly emotional, impatient, immature, and unreasonable.

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/7006243034#7

We are working through a hardware failure at the moment. Thanks for your patience. We'll get this sorted as soon as we can.

- Cloaken
- Community Manager

So it really went more like:

Community Manager: So, um...what's wrong? We want to tell people something so they don't get upset.

Programmer: Do you see this peice of shit? It's smoking! That one shot sparks at John when everyone tried to connect! What do you want from me!?!?!? Tell them we are fixing iton it. And by "fixing", I mean I am calling our vendor and getting non-smoking, no sparking hardware. After that, they can blame Fed Ex.

Community Manager:....I think I will just tell them we will have an update later.

So overall this patch makes the game worse. GG blizzard

Yeah, because selecting all units you have and attack-moving is such a GREAT thing to do, right?

/sarcasm


You no longer have to add units to control groups yourself.

If you dont know how huge this change is, then i dont know what to say.

1control group deathball just got huge buff.


That won't change the fact that it's still a bad idea to stick everything in one control group. They just made the game easier for the newbies.


I would say that more than 50% of pro gamers dont use more than 1 control group for army before 15min mark. From what i seen koreans even do this more than forgeiners.
And that easier "bad" style got a buff.

And it will still be bad, and give disadvantages to people when they have to multitask, and when they meet a good harasser and multitasker. It is useless for Terran players, since Terran is all about drops and harass and good positioning, it is also useless for Zerg since it also select Queens(don't quote me on this, that is what I've heard). It is maybe useful for Protoss players in the mid game, but in the later stages Protoss has to micro and have to attack at few places at the same time, at least vs. Zerg players.

Seriously, I don't see this feature bringing any advantage.

Pretty sure you're absolutely wrong about this. Maybe the 5 minute mark and even then, probably not.

Well, Stephano literally uses 1 hotkey for his army.

That is because Stephano is microing his army without hotkeys.


so u dont think stephano uses even 1 control group? and do u mean to say hotkeys or control groups? im sure he a clicks and such

No, he probably uses one control group, but that is just to get to the army, and move it around, when the fight starts, he is controlling everything with the mouse, not with the control groups. Even if he controls only one group, he certainly doesn't just a-click, and so it doesn't really matter.

And yes, I meant control group, my mistake. :D

So basically we are getting mini destructable rocks instead of neutral depots? Way to go blizzard.

i don't even know why browder thinks that rocks are so awesome and stuff.
without them the game would be still as balanced as it is yet and in general those rocks are as irrelevant as rihannas latest single

I prefer it that way, to be perfectly honest. Depots belong to Terrans; why is there a random one outside of a Zerg/Protoss base?

At least rocks have some justification for being there.

Then again, I never much liked the "neutral building" trope in SC1 maps either. It just felt like a big hack.

I don't get why people hate so much on rocks when they were placed on even more obnoxious positions in BW with the strangest models (Power Generator was fine but the Xel'Naga temple always looked weird)

there are already smaller sized destructible rocks in the game.

you dont use them as ramp blockers because you need a lowered depot so your units can get out. the rock is above ground so ... they cant get out.

Pro BW maps had destructable Temples and Generators that didn't necessarily make for bad gameplay. Destructable rocks can add a lot of good to gameplay if used right, which happens on a lot of community-made maps but almost never on any Blizzard maps.

That just means you only played on ladder maps, every single tournament map has a neutral depot at the bottom of each ramp leading from the main so terran/protoss can't block it with bunkers/pylons.

I just think it's really sad that they need to wait for an expansion to do this because they'd rather use rocks because it makes more sense for the lore or some other bullshit. This is something that needed to be added to every ladder map when they tried to fix it by changing it from 2 to 3 pylons per ramp to fully block. Who cares if depots are terran or w/e this is about fixing broken gameplay for competition, if you care about the lore go play campaign.
