However at least when looking closer to the button, like at the minimap, you can notice it, if you're being alert enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy they're listening and trying to fix things like this. I just suspect I still won't notice the button being active, at least in intense games where my concentration on other things is very high. It's nowhere near the Wings of Liberty button that popped up on your main screen, separate from all other UI.


Totally agree, they should make it more obvious like a voice saying urgently, "Your workers are unemployed/slacking off!"

The game is fine, wtf are you talking about?

Vrays, muta hp regen, swarm hosts' locusts, widow mines, hellbats. Maybe EVEN one of these things ?


So basically you want to play WOL?

Are you trying to be dumb? Did I say remove these things? No.
I said look into them and possible think of balance changes REGARDING them.
Things, as they are now, are definitely not perfectly balanced.

It's weird that they even considered buffing the oracle /facepalm.

Balance takes a lot more time and consideration to address, whereas bugs can be fixed relatively quickly once the source of the problem is found. Blizzard is attempting to address potential balance issues, but they want to take their time with balance changes this time around in order to see if some issues to solve themselves through the meta game. Take some time to think before you go off with your ignorant Blizzard-can-do-no-right attitude.

not this again. this isn't about whether or not they should alert you to having idle workers. this is about how they unintentionally changed a part of gameplay when re-vamping their UI for HotS. the previous button they had for all of Wings of Liberty was extremely noticeable as it was separated from the UI and popped onto your main screen.

if you want to talk about easy UI changes that shouldn't have happened, I still miss having to click on every building separately to build from it like in BW, or having units that bumped into each other and didn't auto-surround (like zerglings so easily do now), or having to have many control groups/box selections to mobilize a large army.

While i do respect what youre saying, Zelniq, Ive never personally had an issue with it. I dont have an issue seeing the "idle Worker" button, Nor do I have an issue just tapping my hotkey for it once in a while.
Not to say youre wrong, but i Think there are more pressing needs. Colorblind/Stronger colors, for one.

Nice little fixes, good to see this

I was going to say this is really preemptive after having the balance test map out for such a short period of time, but then I saw no balance changes.

I envy you, and wonder what the fuck I'm doing wrong. I NEVER notice the button and will often have many idle workers for long periods of time because of it, mostly when i've depleted my minerals. I think I just need to somehow get back into a BW-like mindset where I just constantly check for idle workers, but I've totally abandoned that habit in SC2 as I became so accustomed to relying on the idle worker button (the old one that was noticeable).

that egg sound thing makes me think it's not that unit spawning sound but something else?
I am pretty sure they aren't gonna remove that egg spawn sound effect, right? @@

Maybe you need to log in to play online to hear the correct hatching sound?

The Regions button on the Login Screen is now visible at the password entry step. Upon selecting a region, players will be logged out to account entry with the proper region selected.

Took them more than 2 years for this.

Ahhhhh not too soon. Right now I'm constantly switching between NA and KR, and it's a pain to have to go to modify your login to have the "region" button popping up...


[*]The Void Ray’s Prismatic Alignment ability now plays a sound effect when activated.
[*]The Mothership’s Time Warp ability now plays a dissipation sound effect.


Because protoss wasn't shiny enough :D
I guess right now protoss will no longer forget to activate their primatic alignement when fighting hydra/queen...

Yep, just tested, the hatching sound is the same.

EDIT: Maybe not as loud as it was but it's not the same as WOL.

Man was hoping for some balance changes to think about while I slept.

They could have at least snuck in a change to bunker build time.

What about unlimited name changes because it doesn't fucking matter and shouldn't be controlled as if it does?

Ahh, yes, that sounds good.

"Creep Tumors being created from an existing Creep Tumor can no longer be attacked before they are visible."

I don't quite understand this change...? It can't be as big a change that I think it is... what am I missing?

Still no fix to the game not loading properly and causing stuttering unless you run through preloader and replays before playing?

Or the issue locking game at 20, 30, 60, 120fps etc and causing weird lag if you alt tab too much, forcing you to restart, making the first issue much worse (because you have to do it all again)
