vanUbor, that was your first and only post...
On topic: I think the hotkeys are useful to some people, while being very distracting to others. Players should be able to choose if they want the visual button on-screen, if they can overwrite the hotkey by right-clicking on it, and change how big/small the icon is.
Hopefully in the full game Blizzard will incorporate more customized settings for preferred game play!

i have some questions concerning the localization. i played the whole time with an english beta client, i got totally used to all the hotkeys, names, etc...
so when the game gets released, i'll prolly obtain a german version, because i am not a fan of the shipping stuff from UK. i will prolly totally hate it. it will feel weird as crap, because i am totally used to the english version and i generally prefer those over german ones.
but i see several problems incoming: are the hotkeys different? that would be pretty devastating.
another point: for example when u are trying to learn the new maps in the full release and check some forums like this, its pretty hard to directly understand of which map ppl are talking about, because i would only know the map name in german....
the biggest question however is: will there be language packages to convert any version into another? how long would i need to get along with a german version?

Well, in WoW you can play on German servers with a English client, but I have no idea if it will work that way in SC2. Do the Germans connect to the same server as the rest of Europe? If they do it might actually work since it's probably mostly UI wise that is different and the coding is probably not touched.

Im a bit feared too,
First of all, if you watching VODs... the best are in english and the translation is (most the time) really bad.
Hotkeys are the same, as far as i know. The only problem i had, during the beta is the z-y problem (on german keyboard layout, the z and y are switched)... so i had to switch the keyboard layout every time i started SC2..next problem... so writing in Game was difficult 
So, how did u solve the problem? and is there a "english" version on german keyboard layout - will the y-z problem fixed in any way?
so long...

ehm i manually dled some eu version when i got the beta key. everything is english, but i dont have any problems with y and z. like zealot is z and yamato y, well the position is ofc different then on an english keyboard, but i dont have some switching probs there. basically remains the same everywhere with y next to x and z next to t. no fancy switching action required.

1 larva --> 2 roaches @ 150m/50g, 3 food, same stats.
...?

Cold-Blood, if you had taken the time to search for this without posting here you would have found out the answer is No. No it is not up.

Poll: Beta up by July 13thBefore (41) 49% Yes (22) 27% No (18) 22% After (2) 2% 83 total votes Your vote: Beta up by July 13th (Vote): Yes (Vote): No (Vote): Before (Vote): After
13th is 2 weeks before release FYI
|
Well, simple problem.
I can't seem to build a 12 gateway without cutting probe production, whether or not I send out something like a 9scout.
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? 9 pylon, cronoboost as soon as it finishes.
|
scout after gate and you should be able to have probes building basicaly the whole time maybe 1-2 seconds of no probes
|
btw that poll is. . ???
25 votes for before 13th, and 11 for yes? 10 for no and 1 for after?
why not have only two options, before or after, or yes and no.

You need 3..."no" is the redundant one so Before, After, and yes should be the choices..

I really hope that it is released before the 13th or anytime soon.
Wanted to play the beta before the the game is released, however it seems that i wont be able to play for long knowing that i have not pre-ordered the game and probably wont be allowed to.

then you still have a redundant one because the poll clearly asks BETA UP BY JULY 13th. If you need 3, then it should be Before, After, Never.

What about on july 13th that would be neither before or after the 13th, overall the poll is just bad.
|
I just filled it with whatever, but yes james, the 3rd option would be best as ON the 13th.

I am not sure if this warrants it's own thread so I am adding to this one.
What are peoples' plans for the week of release?
When the game launches on July 27th I am prepared to play until my eyes bleed. I have the week off work and I want to play my heart out. However, this leaves me with a few problems.
1st - I need people to play with. I am gold/platt level player and I would like to practice with people who are in the same skill range or better. I do not mind playing with randoms online, but prefer playing with people who are willing to critique my games.
2nd - I am looking for events to go to. I am not an A-list player and I do not qualify for the bigger tournaments. I am looking for open tournaments online or in the southern california area. I keep a close eye on the tournaments thread, but none of the open ones seem to be during the week of release.
