+ Show Spoiler +Posted this in the other thread but it got closed "At best, the patch could hit today along with another database reset"
Are they saying that they know the Reset will be today but they're hoping that the patch will also come today or that they're hoping that both of these come today but they have no idea if the reset will happen today?

mh ok that's pretty cool then. Hugely surprised about the marauder thing then, I didnt feel like it was an "overnerf" at all.
edit: so if all of this is true I'd recommend that you write "revealed to us", that makes it more believable and makes the reader aware of what's going on. Cause I was thinking "where on earth was that revealed"

I'm hoping the "overnerf" of the Marauder is also a misunderstanding. It's hard to believe that the unit is underpowered at the moment.

I am sure it is probably the truth, but the fact that Blizzard said that they were doing a major content patch in April makes it easy to get this one correct. Hmm less than 2 weeks left in April. Better post this and just say upcoming.

Oh my.. so they really do think marauders were "overnerfed."

It's pretty self-explanatory. No need to say "to us." Also,
25 other people were in the room when Chris and Dustin told us

My understanding of what Dustin explained was that the research on shells was off-timing with Stalkers.
They will probably reduce cost and research time to put it in line with stalkers so the first marauder doesn't win against Zealots like Patch 7, but doesn't lose against stalkers like Patch 8.

This.
I do not need to see more marauders.

Also, this could be Patch 10 stuff. It was unclear. Dustin and them are already onto balance patch 10 and possibly 11 due to the QA process.

Off timing with stalkers? Since when did marauders have a hard time with stalkers?
I think there has to be more to it, or some confusion.

Apparently they haven't realized the ability for marauders to follow their opponent all teh way back to their base picking off retreating units the entire time or that Marauders r now more hated than the Roach for a reason.
|
I figured marauders didn't have a prolem with stalkers since they do double damage anyways.

lol i just logged on and find out im ranked -1 (negative one!) in my league is that even possible???

I've played 30ish placement matches in the last 24 hours since my account is being reset over and over. Just be glad you're in a league at all =p. I think 90% of my games were against bronze/copper opponents... it's not even satisfying to win when you see no units at almost 8 mins into the game.

I play Random and not once during my time playing patch 8 did I think marauders were overnerfed...

I hope this is the 'content patch' they have been talking about, new maps are needed!!
|
I hope they put some sort of hotkey editor, is about time already.

This isn't something Blizzard is planning on implementing for a long time:
"Long term we're exploring allowing fully customizable hot keys. Assuming we can solve the many user interface challenges to make this work we will either release it in a patch or in the upcoming expansion."
(http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23767157319&sid=3000&pageNo=2)
However you can already customize your hotkeys through some of your own modification of game files, see:
