I am quite certain "Patch Notes 1.1.0" is fake. However, like others have said before, most* of the changes presented seem plausible if not welcomed. I wonder what will change in the first batch of patch(s). Should we be talking about this? At least considering the likely possibilities of what will change? I think at this point, we can safely assume that the power of each race will undergo a dramatic paradigm shift.

* = Things like the Nest ability, Psi-Storm revealing cloaked units, and pocket-change Planetary Fortresses buff all seem utterly outrageous.

Question:
Suddenly, today, I'm not getting any replays after my games finish

nothing is updating in my 'recent' section for replays

at first i assumed my 'recent' section just filled up, so i deleted many of them, but still, no replays are being shown

does anyone know why this is happening?

Anyone experiencing insane 4v4 queue times? My teammate and I queued up for 4v4 and waited 30 minutes, several times in a row, and never got a game. 3v3 and 2v2 were fine! What could cause this?

why is it that every high-level protoss-player seems to rely on spamming pylons throughout the map and wouldn't build a warp prism? especially in PvT where the robo is only used for observers and early immortals against marauders?
I found bringing a warp prism along with my army and constantly being able to warp in new troups where I stand extremely helpful; furthermore in mid/lategame warping in two high templar in/behind my opponent's mineral line is a very strong harass

Back in first phase of beta there were some toss players doing this against zerg to warp in units for the mid game push in zotac cup. I had people do it against me on asia server.

With all of the "X is OP, nerf Y" threads going around, especially pertaining to ZvT lately, I was reminded of this amazing article that Liquid'Drone wrote concerning BW's balance compared to SC2:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=120471

I really want to get this article out there again for everyone to read when considering and discussing balance changes, because I think it hits the nail right on the head about why BW was so fun and interesting. I want SC2's balances and changes to go in that direction as well, because I truly feel like continuous nerfs will only make the game more stale and not fun to play.

right, I have a stupid question. I've signed up for a tourney (and lost, badly) but I couldn't figure out how to talk to someone who wasn't already a friend, or who's id I didn't know to add a friend. I've gotten messages from random people near me in my ladder.

would anybody care to help me with this?
thx

I was continually lied to by a BWCL.de admin named FunKiwi. He told me that we had to play the 2v2 first before our 1v1's, which made our 2v2's and 1v1's take over 3 hours because no1 playing in the 2v2 could 1v1. Anyway I asked him if he would allow the other team to take a W/O over us in 1v1 matches if our player had to leave. Then in our ace match me vs. their terran, I was tied 1-1 and explained that sense the match was running on 3 1/2 hours and I had to leave that we would pp like he said. However at this point he does a 180 and says, sorry no PP. FunKiwi is a Horrible Admin, a Viscous Liar, and someone not to be trusted. Thanks for reading, Sheth

[edit: stupid mac laptop. double post.]

alright, I'll pretend like I meant to do this.

@nihoh - Thank you for your reply. That method was one that I was already aware of. I am looking for a way to contact people who are neither on my friends list, nor have I played against already.

Lets say I sign up for a tourny. My first round match is against bobo. how the frack do I contact this person to set up our match? I've gotten messages in game from people I'm supposed to be playing, but have no idea how they sent it to me.

Any insights would be appreciated.

I think you mean vicious. Either way, sounds like that sucks and I'm sorry.

Let roaches and infestors move under cliffs while burrowed, as the other two races already have units that can jump cliffs. Maybe even let roaches move under buildings, just have their movement speed really reduced while under them. Don't allow them to stop under them though.

Don't you see why it's such a bad idea? Just think how easy it is for a zerg to mass roaches.

Random thought; Wouldn't a button that lets you control the camera with your mouse when held down not only be useful but improve micro for most players?

Example: You are kiting with hellions, but you soon realise that you have to move out far to the right, now you either have to move your pointer to the very edge of the screen or you have to let your hotkeys go and use your arrow keys.

Then wouldn't a system where you press spacebar or any button of your choice (or blizzards choice to be correct) let you keep your pointer in the same location on the screen but when it's pressed down you move the camera and not the pointer with the mouse?

I have a question about the editor. I'm trying to make a map and every time i launch the map in sc, the team set-up is 5v3. It is supposed to be 2v6. Are there any options other than Map > Player Properties, Team Placement etc, that would cause this?

I can't really find any answers on TL regarding this on active threads, how do you advance from gold>plat>diamonds etc? Advance to #1 in your division or win alot how the heck does it work?

Your starting rank seems all to be based on the first 5 games, I got Plat in 1v1,3v3,4v4 but gold in 2v2 because I lost the 5th game so does that mean I will be stuck on gold in 2v2 forever?

Edit: Nvm lol after 11 straight wins I got promoted to Plat, feels good to be plat in all leagues. xD
