Well, in case anyone is wondering, the beta is back up, but I don't think they're still using it for the HotS beta key contest. Had to download some content before launching, and now it seems they've changed a couple of things. The "Starcraft" and "Arcade" buttons on the top by making the fonts the same size. The 1v1 artwork has been changed. Terran is a ghost, Protoss still a zealot, and the Zerg is idk what. Looks very odd, but I don't recognize it. They've also made it so that the artwork you haven't selected is greyed out, which is a nice touch. Also, I don't know if it was just me, but the "Spotlight" section under Arcade wasn't working before, but now it seems to be fine.

Overall, it seems like they're just doing tiny little tweaks, which might mean they're close to shipping it out, which is good, because once they've got this up a running, hopefully they can divert more attention to getting the HotS beta out :D

Amazing how people don't know what a Changeling looks like XD
I don't like that they're using it for Zerg. It just isn't a core representation of the race at all.
Also, it's weird that its the only one in color! Like what.

It's not a zealot -_- This is a Tassadar

Can you blame him? Tassadar was badly written and I forgot about him after completing the SC2 camapaign. They really should have left him alone after his badass move to the overmind

I blizzard retarded? What is wrong with them? Marine, zealot and HYDRALISK should represent the 3 races, not some random thing thats not even in the game. Lets put the starcraft master portrait to represent zerg, I think that would be amazing -.-

Edit: Also why is the terran symbol yellow now?

Why does Hydralisk need to represent Zerg? If I was Zerg I would rather be represented by a Roach or Queen or something, not a unit that is never used. Not that this affects the game at all so really I think you're just looking for things to complain about.

I haven't been on the Arcade beta, but from the pictures I've seen I'm looking forward to it, sometimes small changes like this can bring some 'fresh-ness' to the game. I wish they'd do some work to the ingame UI but we can't ask for it all I guess.

It's preparing for the expansion when hydralisks will become overused (at least to begin with) because of the speed buff =P

It was always yellow rofl.

And yeah, I have to agree that Hydralisk is an old concept. Zergs got a lot new stuff and for me, Swarm Hosts can be a new zegr icon or Queens (queen from art, where it holds zealot head)

Oh it's a changeling, hehe, I guess I've never had a chance to click on one before it transforms and look at the portrait.

Also, I think the Swarm Host avatar is very similar to the Hydralisk, so much so that when its silhouette was released before Blizzcon people were predicting that it was going to be a Hydra morph like the lurker, so if they did have the Swarm Host, maybe that would satisfy the old and the new

If you are really from Australia, then you are unlucky, unless I am blind:

Anyone else stuck at 10% on the installer? A lot of people on Bnet have been posting about it but I can't find a solution.

Actually, it just seems to be stuck there for a while, I think there's nothing wrong with it, you just have to sit and wait. I took a shit break, it jumped down to 9% and then climed back up. I'm at 13% and counting now

The following is just my opinion and I'm fully aware this is just beta. Even though the Arcade thing is an improvement, the 1.5 UI in other aspects is NOT an overall improvement.

I post 6 sets of screenshot comparisons below and show how 1.5 UI is still not better than 1.4.3. All upper pictures are from 1.5, and all bottom pictures are from 1.4.3.

------------------------
1 Comparison: the home screen:
http://imgur.com/a/KacLr

The home screen has been criticized most for not utilizing the empty space. As you can see from the screenshots, the 1.4.3 utilizes more space than 1.5.

---------------------------
2 Comparison: Quick Match:
http://imgur.com/a/jyRnp

The pictures of the race selection are ridiculously bad at representing the race. The pictures of three races look somehow like from a single race. People not familiar with the races may not even think Terran is human.

Most importantly, the new button style is inconsistent with the old UI elements. In the 1.5 screenshot, in the upper-right, buttons are the old 1.4.3. light blue buttons, but all the other buttons are the new 1.5 dark blue buttons. Anyone with a basic aesthetics will think the UI style in bottom screenshot more mature and harmonious.

----------------------------
3 Comparison: Versus AI:
http://imgur.com/a/3D7vV

Really? No preview window of mini-map?

----------------------------
4 Comparison: Game lobby:
http://imgur.com/a/LPseH

Look at the right side of the 1.5 screenshot, there is a scroll bar and no all the options can be shown. You need to scroll up and down to see all the options. While in the 1.4.3 screenshot, you can see all the options at one glance.

----------------------------
5 Comparison: Score screen
http://imgur.com/a/dGurv

In the 1.5 screenshot, the elements inside the score window are all the old light blue style, but all other things outside the score window are dark blue.

In the 1.4.3 screenshot, everything is just highly consistent and harmonious.

----------------------------
6 Comparison: Settings
http://imgur.com/a/gK3dU

Sorry but I have to say that dark blue buttons are just so ugly, especially in this screenshot.

----------------------------

People were not complaining about the UI style. The UI style was great. People were complaining about the layout of the UI and how the empty space is not utilized to provide some important information. I know aesthetics can be very subjective. People may not buy into what I said and I heard many people said the new UI style is better than the old one. However, everything I saw from the 1.5 beta is not great like they said.

What's your thought on this?

Personally I don't like the new style. I like the old style but I agree it just needs more things to it, if they forced a chat it would make people want to create their own or join something so they don't have to be in the one with all the idiots. Doing that would start making people want to chat with people eventually... IMHO.

Yeah, I've been stuck at 10% every time I try. Turned off Firewall, 20%, and then it quit on me.



I like some of the changes that I see, but they need to change the order number. 1's should be first. Really annoying.

If you're talking about the Arcade Beta than ya. I was stuck at 10% for about 20 minutes. Came back and it started going through.

I like the dark buttons. It has better visual contrast with the text. Rather than white text on a light-colored background, it's white text on a dark background.

does it really matter? if you want to be technical then raynor should represent terran, kerrigan should represisent zerg, and zaratul should represent protoss.

but it doesnt matter.

I tried to use the 1.5 ladder to do placement matches, but I guess I can only play other people on 1.5 beta. Which very few people are on -.-

And I laughed when I did a practice league game. Terribad (though strangely amusing) maps on slow speed. Or "normal" in Blizzard terms.

I wonder why this patch is taking so long to be released.
For those who spend a lot of time in the PTR : do you think the patch is ready yet ? If there any big issue left ?
