F1 selects idle worker... that's all I've noticed so far.

I'm not sure if I like that, I guess I could get use to it. What I don't like so far about SC2 is the fact that it tells you your workers are under attack, I wish they would remove that.

Why the heck does everyone play Zerg?

Because they're imba? haha joking, I don't know I heard someone on the stream say everyone was protoss? Could be wrong.

Question - Does the new Protoss speed up ability only apply to one building at a time or is it an AoE? Can each nexus do it or are you limited to one use?
Can someone use it when they're building the colossus and tell me how much faster it actually builds?

its 1 building per cast, you can do as many as you have mana for at the same time. it makes upgrades/units build 50% faster, so its pretty significant on everything.

most zergs seem to do some kind of heavy early rush with various combinations of lings roaches and hydras and then they kinda crumble after that. fast expand and rush to storm rapes face if you scout and add cannons properly.
You have your own beta account yet idra or are u sharing with artosis?
artosis is currently a hermit, hes not even answering his phone. im sharing with skew while waiting for mine.

The real question is, is there anyone playing Terran? All I've seen are Protoss and Zerg.


Faced a couple of Terrans playing random myself. So far in TvT I have been successful with double factory rushes (one techlab one reactor), in TvZ just massing marines did it for me and in PvT I go for longer games. Most Terrans I have faced though seem to like Marauder rushes which can be quite effective on a number of maps.

Compared to SC1 Battle.net? MILES better. Hotkeys seem to be fixed for the moment.

I'm playing Terran in 1v1 and Protoss in 2v2. I even played Mahnini in a TvT!

For the testers:

What on earth are the 'rested points' that we can see in some profile screenshots - how are they gained and what do they do? I would normally assume they act like rested experience in RPGs, but I remember a quote from a Blizz dev/pr that said that it's something different, and will be explained later.

After finishing a game the post-game scorecard has three tabs. The third one reads 'build order'; how informative is this, and how is the information presented? I haven't seen any stream which didn't go straight onto the next game, so I haven't seen any of this UI.

What percentage of games are progressing to late game tech? How do the powerful units feel to control; and does it seem like they are worth the expense?
Unashamedly nerdy.

Does it support observers in games already?

It is graphically demanding if you want to run it on high settings.

I have a:

Pentium 4 T6600 @ 2,2 GHz
4 GB RAM
Radeon 4650

I can only run it on medium, anything higher and battles are unplayable (as I just found out!)

However, I am updating my video drivers to see if that helps at all...

Rested points seem to accumulate over time not spent playing. If I am not mistaken they serve as a buffer when LOSING games, reducing the point loss. However rested points go down when winning (and i would assume losing). Basically you don't have to warm up in a practice game for fear of losing "valuable" ladder points from beeing cold, instead you just jump right into the fray.

The build order tab shows you what who built when for the first couple of minutes in the game (both units and buildings and the current supply at that time). Can save you watching the replay when you arent sure wether the opponent used an all in build or simply a well executed aggressive build.

Wether games go to late game depends on matchup, however generally speaking few games do get that far currently since typically someone will mess up and get run over. When the game does get into the later phases higher tier units are incredible, while basic units still retain their usefulness in most cases.

Thanks! The implementation of the rest sounds fantastic - it'll be great not to have to worry about losing rank when warming up.

I noticed when watching the Husky stream that there seems to be an internal VOIP in the game.

Is it as garbage as the one in WoW or is it actually usable?


Ps. I'm pretty sure that Husky and Lomi we're using Vent during the stream.

It happens when you lose all your worker-producing buildings (hatcheries, Nexuses, Command Centres) and goes away when you rebuild one. It's to stop idiotic spamming of pylons across the map to piss off your opponent.

I'm not sure how quick it is now... isn't it like almost instant? I don't like that.

It says will be revealed, so I'm not sure it's instant. Haven't really noticed otherwise...
