Interesting. I didn't notice that small balance hiccup.
The Alpha version of this interface patch was basically a frankenstein version of all the balance patches, with Zerg retaining some of their old beta values while Terran and Protoss had changes from the most recent patches. It was really weird to look at.
But I don't think these balance changes are of any importance. It's probably just a bad merge of different patches, as someone speculated in the Alpha thread.
edit: And it definitely looks like this Beta has the same merge problems. A lot of the old Zerg upgrades that were removed in the WoL Beta seem to be back. Flux Veins is back lol. But this is just going through the hotkey lists. It could be different in-game.

If anyone else is interested, I noticed that the new interface for the match making screen makes MPQ background editing problematic. The new buttons cover up a lot, and there isn't a background to begin with. Thoughts?

That means the space is actually being used.
Overall, this is what SC2 should have been like from the beginning.

They had the 1.5 alpha running for quite some time so that amateur developers and mod-makers could create their own custom games in time for the official 1.5 launch. Is there anything cool that people have seen yet, and is Blizzard Dota up there (I thought it was supposed to be ready by 1.5)?

The look of the creep changes. It is much darker right now. I don't think it's necessary.

I would not say it's a very old build. The queen buff and the overload speed buff are also in the game. BTW I mean beta version. The alpha version was using a very old build indeed.

As mentioned earlier, the green circle that appears when you execute a command (e.g. move an SCV somewhere, queue waypoints) is an odd change to me. It feels like I am playing with a delay because the circles stay. Also, when selecting your workers (spammage) you will see the circles on every mineral patch. I don't know if this is intended?

Nope, no Dota.

So they show the amount of games played in the profile now?
Looks like we can finally, albeiting with a little inaccuracy, review our wins and losses if we only play ladder if you are diamond and below >.> .

Pretty interesting, but thanks to the people that showed the screens, I don't think I need 7 the extra 7 gb on my drive.
And that baneling thing is pretty funny :D

Hi guys,
just wanted to try 1.5, installed it, etc, but everytime I try to launch the beta, it says it cannot start the game b/c icuuc44.dll can't be found. What do I have to do? I downloaded the Beta Installer from eu.battle.net, so it cant be corrupt or smth. Help me please (:
greetings
-EDIT: my antivir is deactivated btw.

Still looks like a console interface to me.
|
still hoping for Blizzard dota to come with the patch ^_^
|
Just downloaded it and played around a little bit.
I must say I am pretty happy with the changes and would love if this was implemented ASAP. Only thing I didn´t like is that the Home screen looks kinda empty.
And yeah graphics have changed they seem to look somewhat nice, even on low settings.
Nice job Blizz.

There ARE some balance fixes. Helions can't now kill tumor without scan.

Blizzard would just be using the maps that they believe are least likely to cause lag issue.

What do the /commands mean when referencing "targeted player"? Is that like an in-game command where you have a player's units targeted, or is that just referencing the traditional "insert player name here" when you use the command Surely this would be the name you type after the command, such as 'Llama' in
/givewaterto Llama
or
/partyinvite Llama.

Disappointed at teh leave match = loss thing. Only reason i've had to do that is because the interface freezes up on me and won't let me cancel in time.
I think the change only applies to stalemate situations. Previously, in the unlikely event of a stalemate situation within a game, when the countdown timer was in effect, people would log out, as doing so would actually result in a tie for both players (as I recall). Blizzard is simply changing this to a loss for people who do so but only a tie/draw for those who stay in the game during the countdown.
That interface problem when searching for a match is really stupid though, so they should fix that too!

what? o.O
is that with all splash or what

Loving the changes but I still think it's a tiny bit ridiculous that they need a menu button labeled "Starcraft" in a game called "Starcraft 2".

Where does it say that, I thought it said that hellions shots aren't blocked by burrowed units anymore.
