I just switched server to SEA, and to my surprise I logged into HOTS. I have EU license of the game. Loaded up campaign and it works totally fine. Is this a bug cause I remember that they said they'd disable global play for the launch? Sorry for just a little content, I just don't know what to say.

So EU / NA guys who can't wait, go and play! :D

It's not. I can switch to any server, but only play hots on SEA.

EDIT: Global play is not offline for me at least. Before 10 minutes ago I had never even touched SEA. So I logged on and created a new character. Maybe it works cause pre last patch I used that region.xml file for it was "officially" live,

You should have separate clients for each region and start playing on them when they are available. For us in Serbia is same as French time, so 12h tomorrow. But it should be available earlier on Sea.

Well, i'm in.

edit: resolution is kinda bad. Can upload further proof if required. I don't know why i'm allowed to switch to SEA. Just posted this so people could start playing already even if european or american.

Anyone know why the region button isn't showing up for me? I have remember email unchecked and it was available in WoL just an hour ago. I'm stuck in NA and it logs me into my NA character profile.

Does the campaign progress save between regions then, so you can start on SEA and then continue EU?

No, ofc not. You have to play all Missions again. But its good enough to practice Brutal a little bit.

Or you can just keep on playing missions on SEA. It doesn't really matter, right.

Might be suspicious that there are ten times as many people playing the campaign on SEA than on other regions

Why wouldn't it? I'd assume campaign progression would be saved on account-basis?
Or do you have to create a new account to play on other region?

NO! It does not! I completed WoL on Brutal and on every other Server I have 0 Achievementpts. New Server = New Account!

I only have 1 client (Originally EU). But I was able to switch to SEA in order to play HOTS, before this I had never logged on SEA before. So naturally I had to create a new character. I think the global play is not disabled for people who are using regions.xml.

Since last patch all you have to do is remove "remember login" check button and the Region button will appear.

Otherwise edit your .xml

I think you have to create it yourself. I remember downloading the xml, when global play wasn't live yet. I found the download link in the global play thread, so try to look in there.

For those who have problems with the region not showing, just remove the "remember me", so your log in name doesn't show. When you start SC2 again it will allow you to choose regions (maybe there is a faster/better way to do this, but I don't remeber the details and don't have access to my PC at the moment).

Have fun playing HoTS !

Unlock remember account button and restart sc2. "Regions" button should appear in left side, if not, create XML file and put it in sc2 installation folder (guide is in page 2).

Are the attack and armor upgrades that you see when you click on a unit finally switched? It was so annoying in WoL to not have them the same order as in the upgrade facilities.

Yeah the lag is really bad I think. Should we non-SEA people maybe get a custom channel for games going?

I'm on the custom channel "EU" in case someone wants to play without severe lag.

Yeah it works with the regions.xml. If you just want to play HotS against AI don't forget you can right-click a map in the Browse list and just select 'Create Offline' :-)

Maybe I'm late for the train, but:

Daybreak. Size: small

I would like to know the size of maps like Steppes of War if the scale goes like this.

Daybreak in all honesty is far too small. Everything is so close together and it's really narrow.

Can confirm putting this file in your sc2.exe dir makes the region button appear again, and allows you to play hots campaign.

Thx folks

Can't you just copy paste the campaign save file from your sea folder to your eu folder and resume?

Nope.

Create the regions.xml in your starcraft 2 folder, paste and save:

Try logging in and out once and you should see a "Region" button on the left. Works for me. Sadly I realized I had preordered a physical package of the game so I don't have the game activated >_<.

Interesting, I just got a patch, that removed the region button for me, but with this file it works again, though the motd says "global play is disabled".

So I saw this and logged onto korea and can now play hots on there :D.

Another thing did anyone else notice different latency? For example I played on korean server in wol 1 day the day after beta went down and I could notice a little latency.

Played korean server today on hots and it's like gone, almost thought I was playing hots beta again except way better map pool
When I think of something else, something will go here

The writing is still, unfortunately, subpar and doesn't respect its audience. However, that was pretty much expected, and the missions seem pretty fun in themselves.

If you are having trouble making the regions.xml you are probably on windows 7 or vista. Go to the folder tools->folder options and make it so you can see it doesn't hide the full file exentsion. You are probably making regions.xml.txt and it should be regions.xml.

That was my problem, and i'm on now :D
