When playing as random you can now know what race your going to spawn as by looking at the cursor which will display the racial cursor rather than the standard bnet interface cursor. Previously the cursor changed when the game started. If this is intended behaviour i'd like to know!

I guess it's technically a bug, but the most minor of the minor issues. You still don't know what race you'll spawn as before the game, your opponents still don't know, and you are able to gain no significant advantage by knowing your race 2 seconds earlier at a time when you can't interact with anything.

My advantage is that I can hit the correct "Build Peon" button faster. I always seem to flail around trying to hit the right one.

I just spam click and ESD. That will either make an SCV, Probe, or a Drone.

BOOM.

Going to have to remember that.

I have no idea why I haven't figured that out before. Yay stupidity!

It would be an improvement if it showed you your race on the loading screen in a more obvious way than just the cursor changing. It would be nice to show your allies in team games as well.

I think it should even show your opponent to be really fair, but that's a whole different story

Blasphemy. Nevertheless, i digress.

I'm not against it showing your own race on the loading screen. But all signs point to this being a bug instead of on purpose. If this feature was going to stick around i agree that a move obvious sign is needed: "Random (Zerg)" as your race, for example.

I'm pretty sure that in both wc3 and sc2 if you finish the loading before the other players you can hear the music of the race you are spawning.
