Oh now I see. Thanks for clarifying

Thats the Ladder menu :d

Hahahaha, Colossus the minesweeper. Browder just loves that unit, doesn't he?
^The new ladder menu looks pretty neat

why they switch it lol. 1v1 being stuck between others seem weird.
(or subliminal attempt at making 4v4 more popular)

Today was a good day for SC2.

Can anyone clarify that "Look for team" on the top right of the picture? Does this mean some sort of clan/team support that allows one to look for teams and be in one?

No, it opens the chat channel "Looking for a team".

Looks really weird I agree.

The baneling thing is a bug fix. Any other "balance changes" are completely irrelevant because this is a UI/custom game patch. They don't care about the balance of the actual game for this beta because they don't want you to play it.

Yay! It shows art instead of the stupid pictures from the campaign scenes xD
Though I still would have liked for the Marine, Zealot, and Hydralisk to represent the 3 races, but doesn't matter too much.
I sorta don't like the new art direction though... I mean, it doesn't exactly look cleaner nor better. And I don't understand why 1v1 is on the right side now lol.
Shit, just realized that all those custom backgrounds... ;_;

OMW, this looks really fugly

That last screenshot looks really bad but the arcade stuff and chat channels looks really interesting (like a forward step back to good old Bnet 1.0)

Ugh I agree. I like the old style much more than that beta art. :|

"Banelings will now auto-cast Unburrow if a Colossus comes within their attack range"
What is this about? Do banes do that for other units?

Yeah, it's 50%.
But seriously, Blizzard has explained time and time again that win ratio is a meaningless statistic in Bronze-Diamond since you will always stabilize at 50% with enough games played. I don't see them reverting their decision to remove that statistic.

The most important thing of everything in this new update imo, is that there is an OPEN GAME LOBBY. You can see the games that are being hosted. This is the one thing that can really make a difference to the custom map community. I am really glad it is in there, and not a moment too soon

I like this a lot, just dont get why 4v4 is first and not 1v1. Makes no sense to me lol.
Besides that, I think the new patch looks really cool, seems like a much needed improvement on battle.net. I'm very excited for HOTS with this patch... Cant wait! :D

I really dont understand how can anyone like the new quick match page more than the current one. This new one looks like a joke compared to the one right now ; /

I was worried that due to the private/closed beta that they wouldn't add it, and just use fun-or-not like they said at Blizzcon (and I think even in earlier 1.5 patch notes, although it didn't work when I tested it) Also: Show nested quote +The following new slash commands have been added :
• /help – displays available /slash commands
• /close – closes the focused chat window
• /min – minimizes the focused chat window
• /max – maximizes the focused chat window
• /restore – returns the focused chat window to default position and size
• /afk – puts the player into AFK status
• /dnd – puts the players into DND status
• /partyinvite – invites the targeted player to a party
• /partykick – removes the targeted player from party
• /block – blocks the targeted player
• /unblock – unblocks the targeted player
• /addfriend – adds the targeted player as a character friend
• /removefriend – removes the targeted player as a friend
• /profile – opens the profile page for targeted player
• /report – opens the Report Player dialog for targeted player
• /friendnote – opens the Friend Note dialog for targeted player FINALLY. Long overdue. I guess open games list was also really long overdue too (although I could see it taking more time than chat commands to implement)
Still no /whisper.

Yes, if you put a baneling on auto-unburrow it will pop out and explode if anything walks near it with the exception of the colossus, this is merely a bug fix that makes it act consistent with all the other ground units.
