I'm not great, Diamond T, but in WoL I would proxy rax a thor, make 2 rax with combat shielded marines, and pull scvs to repair the thor and usually (like 90% of the time) got the win... but now with the MSC it seems like toss has no problem holding this...I just think it's kind of silly that toss can virtually early expand most games vs me with no consequences.
-_-

Ideas?

waht league were you even pulling this off in?


Like I said, just high diamond, haha...with marine micro behind the tanking thor it was almost foolproof. No more with the nexus cannon T-T

Since the new patch when I try to select 1 worker it selects all of them (at least in the training match maker, wanted to check it out and now the server seems to be down). The only way to select a single worker is to alt-click it. It's fail. Couldn't find an option to turn it off. Anyone know whats up?

if you buy NA its an NA account so no you cant cahnge it to NA

you could buy NA and play on EU but youd still be going through the NA servers to do so

Question:

I bought HOTS on January 2nd. Never "received" beta key.
About a week ago, I noticed on bnet site people were complaining they didn't receive beta key and some
people wrote you could log in even though you did not receive beta key.

Apparently it did work for me. However, since yesterday's patch, it no longer works.

The question is, whether I had beta access and I should still have access to the beta now,
or I did not have beta access in the first place and I should have not been able to log in for last week ?

Thanks for help.

Edit: Whether it is relevant or not, when I go to options>gameplay on login screen, under Expansion Level it says Wings of Liberty Starter Edition. I can't change that.

The login screen background is still the one from HOTS.

Waste of time.

They said they can't handle issues for beta over chat,support,phone.

They said I actually have 2 beta licenses on my account (I had US and TW version in sc2)

They told me to post on forum and I can't since it says there I don't have beta access...

Ok, they just told me to uninstall and then re-download the install from my log-in account on Bnet's web site...the old uninstall / reinstall...why not give it a go~

You can try it but if you look at bnet thread it did not help people.
The problem seems to be on blizzard's end because people (including me)
have their beta access disappear (and in my case I apparently still have it according to support)

Looks like in two major threads about it, blizzard "is looking into the issue"
and with the amount of complaining, I don't think its on our side.

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/7709232470


Edit:

Now beta settings once again show on my battle.net page - still can't login

Edit 2:

Deleting Beta and beta folder, then reinstalling the game does not fix the issue

I was mid-Masters in WoL, but i'm only rank 1 in gold in HotS. Are there better players for the most part playing HotS right now?

Yeah me too. I think the problem stems from people with 2 (Maybe more..?) sc2 licenses. I'm from SEA so I got an automatic NA license for WoL and both SEA and NA automatically upgraded themselves to HotS licenses thus giving me the problem.

Has there been a change in how apm is counted in HotS compared to WoL? It feels like it's more influenced by huge apm spikes (i.e. a zerg player remaxing on lings) and gives an incredibly higher apm value in HotS.

Yeah, I'm getting something like 1.5x more APM than WoL, getting like 250 apm for a whole ZvZ game (I don't even play Zerg). I think Blizzard changed it to real time APM instead of Starcraft time or something? But I guess this caters to the people who care about APM since higher apm is always 'better'.

its a combo of small palyer pool, it being a completely new game and the system is a miser with promotions
