This was made much worse then game bots were introduced, maps outside of popular maps were pretty much impossible to fill. and the screen was filled with shiz like DoTa GG.net-apcm etc What we need is a system that merges the two concepts. So instead of showing a seperate result for each lobby hosted, all lobbies of the same game are grouped into one. E.g. http://imgur.com/a/7BJ2f (Default lobby when clicking game is the most filled one) | ||

To corroborate this, it's also the same top level domain as the Diablo 3 Installer: http://us.media.battle.net.edgesuite.net/downloads/d3-installers/589acdb4-????-318a-b993-01528fad7da6/Diablo-III-xxxxx-enUS-?????.exe I just edited some stuff out because i don't want to link directly to it, but as you can see, it also goes through us.media.battle.net.edgesuit.net/downloads. | ||

There doesn't appear to be an open lobbies section as Blizzard has promised for 1.5. Also, the UI art is horrible, although the functionality appears to be much improved. Without open lobbies, there's no point, as there would be no change to the popular maps that can be played. Nobody would know that you or your maps exists. | ||

(The last of it's kind before HOTS kicks in) So I'm not surprised there are balance changes, so this is a sneak peek at the balance of the patch 1.5 game as well as an alpha of the new UI. Probably is true. | ||

Probably is true. Isn't the build a mixture of an old build and some new changes, as someone else said? Besides, Browder said this less than a month ago: "Assuming nothing drastic changes in the meta game that would shift the win rates further out of balance, there’s a strong likelihood that it won’t be necessary to make balance changes until Heart of the Swarm arrives. Still, if a significant issue arises that is beyond the reach of metagame changes to resolve, then we will react as quickly as possible to make the adjustments necessary to restore balance." Source: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/5202424 I doubt they would make this many major changes in such a short amount of time especially when HotS isn't too far away. | ||

Probably is true. These aren't patch changes. The build being used for testing the Arcade Alpha is the WoL BETA BUILD. This means that the playable game that you can access through the Arcade is the version that was playable in the beta of WoL. These are not patch changes. | ||

It's unnecessary and very exploitable Because it's very fun to spectate matches. It's not surprising that B.net 0.2 doesn't have this or any innovative features at all as it's completely stuck in the past. Although LoL's 3 minute delay won't suffice. For SC2, I would suggest 100% delay, i.e. only allow spectators in completed matches, but probably15 minute delay would be sufficient to prevent abuse. | ||
