anybody else HATE using backspace? I wish it was closer to the left side of the keyboard like the tilde.
I'll love you like I love the palm of my hand.

Actually this change also goes against the whole theory of the zerg race being physically linked together as a hive mind so why the hell wouldn't a queen know about the hatch she's standing next to even without looking at it?

I'm h8'ing this change a lot less if my backspace method works, but its will kill the game in the long run for new players wanting to take the game up.

My thoughts exactly :D


That should be a choice you make, and not one forced on you.

This simply isn't true. Arbitrary UI limitations are everywhere.

Also, just because a patch doesn't address an issue doesn't mean that Blizzard thinks it isn't an issue. I'm sure there are a million things on Blizzard's to-do list, and a million more things on their let's-keep-an-eye-on-this list, but every patch can't possibly address every issue.





To do list
Change W hotkeys

Wait they make the game so that one race has to like know how to build
stuff in front of youre map (in a different way for each map and each spawning location)
and like one race has to micro the first few units like ehm i don´t know marines and tanks
against units that would rape them unmicroed like ehm Zealots and Dragoons
and like one race has to get detection because the other race has invisible units that they can get fairly quickly
Thats totaly not like the spirit from SCBW.
Seriosly get the fuck over it.

This is not a balance issue, and people who're trying to make it into one is stupid. It's about terrible UI. Less than satisfactory UI I can deal with, and I can accept. When you already have a logical UI in place, expending the effort to remove it achieves...?

If we want this game to be a great e-sport, we should welcome changes like this. I know its hard for casual players to deal with, but most didn't even know about the wireframe-trick nor do they care about finding the most optimal way to play the game.



Let's make it so that when you call down a MULE, it doesn't start auto mining. You have to manually tell it to mine after it lands. This would be great since it adds more control and complexity to the game, and higher APM players would benefit from it.


And how is that on par with the other mechanics in difficulty? Now that every mechanic requires you to go back to your base it is now really unfair all the sudden. Gosh!

Option A
Give the macro mechanics more decision making thereby allowing you to keep the improved UI.



Option B
Leave macro mechanics as are and disable improved UI. Leave work an hour early.

wow, turning out to be an excellent, excellent patch by blizzard. Congrats on them realizing that there is such a thing as "interface balance," (being too easy, or too hard)and using it in their design process there is no reason to wonder why these guys are top tier RTS developers.

It's not unfair, it's illogical. I'm just saying that implementing my hypothetical MULE change would be totally retarded, but it's comparable to what's going on here. If that change did get implemented I'm quite sure you'd be quite pissed.

And make it 1 per cc so you have to do it periodically and not call them all at once.

something I just found, units gain ranks based off kills. for instance, 0 kills= recruit 11= seargent

i like the hidden changes so much. all of them

the fkeys along with the green-bar-stay-true is gonna help me so much. took days for me to stop using f-keys and panic over units that got yellow

also i embrace the fact that toss and zerg macro just got quite a bit harder

what are decals?

After reading the official patch notes I just thought 'meh'
But these changes are awesome as a zerg player i found larva inject way too easy.

WTF is interface balance? There is nothing "too easy" or "too hard." That's like saying Protoss in BW is "easy," cause you just "1a2a3a."
