NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ^ made me lol, yea we all hate it but blizz is catering tot he 40% pop of sc2 which happends to be in bronze People like the ladder matchmaking system but don't like the pressure of trying to keep up their record. Now the ladder becomes more casual for 98% of the (active) population. It doesn't actually change anything so why not do it. Match history still shows everything and the w/l record doesn't really reveal much (I got a 66% win ratio while getting from bronze to diamond). The system attempts get everyone who plays enough a ~50% win ratio, the players who are able to keep a better record over 1k games will be in masters anyway).
Then Blizzard could make it an option, not something forced.

What does he mean by that? MLG April 1st I believe Perhaps he is referring to his upcoming match with Cruncher in TSL3.
Or he has just finished his game with cruncher and then the patch came out o.o ( which is not a good sign )
Or maybe just nice for good "healthy" discussion for SOTG tomorrow because obviously that's the most important thing in SC2 universe ( although they have discussed the PTR patch before)
Would be nice to see how this affects GSTL though.

Fuck.
Portuguese localization patch notes seems like it was translated with google translate. It is trash. I had to read it here to understand something.
Good God, Blizzard, pay someone to translate your shit if you're going to insist in localizing stuff.

Everybody that uses a timing based of stim packs needs to do some work.

Fixed a bug where some Bronze players weren't gaining enough points for wins and were losing too many points for losses.
wth lol?
if you were in the bottom of bronze it could get bugged because if compares your mmr to your opponents points and vice versa, and since in bottom bronze people have no points and weird mmr's and are all crap, you could get "stuck" if you couldn't produce a winning streak.
correct me if im wrong anyone

Does anyone know what this bookmark option is for? I've never seen this before

Anyone knows if outdated replays work with the new observing tools? I'm asking this mainly cause of TSL, in case any games were played already.
EDIT: Managed to log in, the tools don't work, it's just like the old version for old replays, however, it was stuttering A LOT for me, casters might want to preload the game if their PC is shitty.

I can't filter down to just showing 1:1 games now forced to see the 4v4 ect games. Grrrr.

So can people still play ladder with the hopes of being promoted or is that week of no promotions in effect now?

You can bookmark the map, so that when you play custom games again you can find that map easier.

No Khaydarin Amulet is good I think. It's way too powerful to warp in a high templar near your opponent's base and rape a bunch of his workers. Big Marauder drops are easy to deal damage with. With Marauder drops, I only have to be near your Nexus for a couple of seconds and the damage is done.
Fixed! (in bold)
Oh well at least I'm happy about the stim increased research time

Yeah, that's basically it. People at the bottom of bronze were complaining because they would need an insane winning streak to get out of the hole. It was very discouraging to them. What would happen is that they would win, say, 7 games in a row, followed by a loss. Unfortunately, they were only getting 2 points for each win (1 + 1 bonus) and their loss took 14 points away. So they would go 7-1 and still have exactly 0 points.
It makes sense why this was happening due to a negative MMR rating, but when you get right down to it this wasn't necessary. They're going to be at the bottom of bronze anyway, so there's no issue with them having at least a few points to make them less frustrated.

Uh new patch is great, but... Has anyone else experienced crashing? I just crashed out of two games in a row.

I'm not at home yet, but I'm guessing no. In all the previous patches, watching an old replay basically closed the game and reopened it with the old patch, so it used whatever tools existed in that patch.

Tal'darim altar in the map pool now and Shakuras is back. There's rocks at your third base on tal'darim altar though. Not sure if anything else is different.

SHAKURAS PLATEAU IS BACK AND WITHOUT BACKDOOR ROCKS
