Long time reader, first time poster... Anyone else seeing this message when trying to connect to Battle.Net: "You are trying to login using a Client version not recognized by the Battle.Net service"? Yesterday (and ever since June 7th) I was getting the "Beta is down" message but that appears to have changed. Maybe the service is being upgraded?

We don't know when the beta will be back, and neither do you. Please don't post about it.
It's probably them changing the login patch required to play.

Mining gas w/ a mule would be a major unfair advantage. As for e-bays, I don't know...first time i tried lifing one off..i was like....crap And as above said^^ It would be an unfair advantage for sure as chrono and inject doesn't work the same way.. probes/drones made via chrono/inject are capable of mining gas additionally these abilities have other uses, chrono can speed up any building, not just make probes, and inject larvae can naturally be used for any unit, not just drones its not like allowing mules to mine gas means that the terran player gets more gas, he only gets it faster

it's not like we get more units with chrono, we just get them faster

...Lol? That would be getting more..If you are getting units faster..

it was for "its not like allowing mules to mine gas means that the terran player gets more gas, he only gets it faster"

That's the most retarded argument ever.
Let's say one race had something that let them harvest the entire geyser in 5 seconds. Obviously that would be totally off the wall imbalanced because you're getting those limited resources much faster.
I can't speak for mule-gas balance, but you can't defend your position using that particular argument.
Edit: Not to mention some of the timings Terran has are pretty precarious as it is. Faster thor drop, banshees, etc. and you suddenly have more problems on your hands. Listen guys, I know it's fun to think "well THEIR race gets <whatever> so wouldn't it be cool if my race got it?" but can you even attempt to think about the consequences of what you're proposing?

You are still limited by your resources. Protoss has no way of getting more minerals / gas faster than any other race (other than chrono boosting probes, but terran has mules and zerg can drone way faster). The only thing that chrono boosts does in terms of "more units" is that it takes less production buildings to spend your gas and minerals.

Drop the ego. He wasn't even talking at all about when the next beta phase comes out. He just wants to be informed about things he is not informed about.

I'd actually maybe hope to see it come up on july 4'th to celebrate for all of you (silly) americans.
That or maybe the 5'th, hopefulyl dont have to wait till the 13'th or anything D:

There is no 4th race. ( In multiplayer )

Seriously though, a fourth race would be pretty unthinkable.
As for changes I'd like to see...(from the perspective of a zerg player)
Burrow at Tier one would be pretty awesome, but would probably come with too many balancing issues. Now that Roach is moved up to two supply, I think it would work with two base armor once again, but it is still fine as it is, so there is no urgent need to change it. Also, this wouldn't change the problem of Zerg not being able to swarm properly. It would also be possible to reduce food to one again, this would have to come at the expense of quite some base damage though. This would also make for the ideal tank unit, small, cheap and armored - but without the ridiculous blowout potential the old roaches had.
Ultralisks are fine, some range would make for a bit better gameplay though.
If Ghost EMP is is deemed too ruinous for some strategies, one could change it to 100 shield and 100 energy...would still be the same in most cases, but at least it wouldn't completely drain some units.
Tanks are fine as well, although slightly increased range where they cant shoot could maybe improve gameplay. Increasing Archon range would also allow a better game flow. Making Carriers playable in some way would be awesome, too, most powerful buff would obviously be to reduce building time.

Is anyone else like me?
When I have SC2 I never felt like playing it at all. Now that it's gone I'm like jesus, I want to play so bad. I want to own it up in some tournaments. Bring on Dimaga.
I'm sure once it's back up I'll be like eh, don't care anymore. lol

i was wondering about two things :
- we all know that beta phase 2 will end "few weeks" before the launch. Also sc2 will probably get cracked and released on torrent sites before the 27th. Considering that almost everyone will buy their sc2 copy how many of you will download the cracked version to play the campaign while the beta is down and there's no other way to get your fix.
- when the next expansions will be released will you make a new bnet acc for each one ? This way you could have three accounts for smurfing/playing off-race etc. If blizzard fails to implement crossregion play by the time HoTS comes out you could just make a new bnet accounts on other realms.

-...They said it will end a week before launch.. I can wait that long.. I don't find singleplayer very helpful.
-..why would you need to make a new battle.net account for each expansion? It will work like World of warcraft most likely. ( They add the expansion onto your account )

Im not saying you need to make a new account. Im saying you CAN make a new account for each expansion since most people dont really like that they are forced to play on only one main acc..

Lol, Most likely not. That would be like just buying Heart of the swarm and playing the full game?
It's like buying a toaster and electricity without bread.

Of course you will be able to play the full multiplayer if you just buy HoTS or LotV. Only difference will be the single player content. Im pretty sure i've read that both expansions will be standalone games. A quick search for a source : http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3170574
Not really in the mood to find more...
