I got a tools update earlier today (WoW also), but no real patch so far.

Can someone in Euro confirm if they got the patch? they usually get it about 6-12 hours before we do.

What do the tools update do? Just a little "pre-patch" update?

hohoo... maybe the tools update was just a massive PSYCHE to everyone upset about the GSL. "Haha yeah we are going to patch it prior to the final.... not"

I think obviously it makes most sense from the eSports point of view to delay the main patch, and yes this is important in raising SC2's profile, etc, but I just don't think people get that Blizzard is a business, there are other factors e.g. they need to build in time post-patch pre-xmas in case anything goes wrong, they told a lot of people it'd be out by xmas... another example, getting Blizzard DOTA out (should that be happening this patch) might increase xmas holiday sales, etc. It's a business decision, not purely based around 1 series of games, no matter how significant they are.

Yes it would be unfortunate were they to patch it today, and i'm sure they'd be aware of the issues, but to call them retarded, f*cking stupid, etc, just doesn't make sense to me...

EDIT: F*** ME that's a big prize pool, though!

Yeah I dont know... I wouldn't be suprised if it wasn't patched for a week. but i did get a warn woot!

Mine patched and said under balance that scv's now assume same priority as target they are repairing. I didn't even get a chance to read all of the patch notes though, because the Blizzard updater ran almost right away.

Those are the old patch notes, they display underneath the current patch notes and you read them by accident.

To stop speculation, why didn't Blizzard just go ahead and type something in the patch notes for the tools thingie. Just having a blank update is a bit silly.

which doesn't tell us anything. what changes were made? how were the tools updated? when we get a balance patch, we get a list of balance changes. it doesn't say "balance update". if it said "balance update" and people asked "what does that mean?" it'd be a very smartass response to say "they made changes that improve the balance between the races in multiplayer". if you know the changes, say them. otherwise you can sit quietly and hope that the braver people who will admit their ignorance and ask a question might get a good answer, so then you can benefit too.

No...because SCVS do not assume the same priority as the target they are repairing right now.

Are anyone besides me getting loads of disconnects (or at least, that's what it looks like) after the new "blank" patch?

Like 75% of my ladder stuff is "found player!" then nothing, then the text goes away, I'm back to the normal menu, and if I try finding a new match, it says my status is locked. Seems awfully similar to the way bnet was in the beta.

You're reading the PTR patch notes, and they haven't been implemented yet, everyone received just the "tools update".

the only change ive notice so far is before, when someone pause the game by accident after saying gg then leaves the game wouldnt do shit and you would have to unpause to find out he left now if someone pause and leave the game you have the score screen window along with the option to unpause the game
