Terrain Module A new distance measuring tool has been added, which measures both straight-line and pathing distances (see Tools >> Measure Distance). New terrain copy/paste options have been added to include or exclude textures, geometry, and water (see Edit >> Copy Options). AAAWWWEEEESOMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!! YES! especially the second option has the potential to save hours of time when making maps. now I just have to wait for this to load... | ||

Think of auto-unburrow Banelings like Vulture's spider mines. Only it's better because you can detonate them manually. | ||

Also really nifty, there's a "join chat" button on a lot of screens that kicks you into a relevant chat room. The home page gets you into a general chat, the arcade page has a button for the arcade chat, and quick-play 2v2 and up has a button for looking for teams, etc. It makes more people go into the chat, which in turn makes the chats livelier. It's a nice improvement. There isn't an easy way to invite someone into a game you're in the lobby for. I'd like that. A lot of the buttons have been redesigned to be nicer, but that UI still feels empty, especially the home page. | ||

Btw, can you write the name of your game in Open Games, for example ''1x1 PROs only no n00bs''. I miss those things from WC3? | ||

I thought that was weird and funny— "I'm going to play as purple [race] today"![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/czJHy.jpg) They actually added that ability a while ago. It may have been a ninjaed change. I was happy when they added that, too. I kinda doubt it works in the lobby, but you can do it in-game. It even has an auto-search pop-up list of names to choose from when you've partially typed the name (rather necessary considering the fact that you can have people with the same name (it shows their ID number as well)) On June 02 2012 08:33 NeWeNiyaLord wrote: One thing I noticed was, that you can only fungal units. This way, you can't miss.... Can't fungal if there's no units -.- ridiculous.. I noticed that was the case with the old 1.5 arcade beta, along with a bunch of other weird things (unable to cast infested terran while burrowed), but I didn't notice it in the bunch of games I played today in the new version. Are you talking about hte right version? | ||

It's like a second account. You get a new name, new ID, new rfiendlist, new MMR. Only your login is the same. I really like some of the changes and I really dislike others. The "Arcade" is great. An "Open Games" tab, sorting maps by genres, the rating system and especially the preview option for every map is awesome. If they implemented that earlier, a lot of casuals would still be playing the game. I'm not so fond of the look of the UI, especially the Quick Match screen looks kinda meh :/ But since it's only a game menu, I don't really care. What I really don't like is the changes they made to the look of the game itself. I have the feeling that everything that's not in my vision looks gritty and darker than what I'm used to. Played about 15 laddergames and I still have the feeling, that it just doesn't look right. | ||

No Im only asking, is this a real patch for the normal game, or is this patch for a separate custom game of SC2? I am confused because it says "arcade" beta, instead of the previous patches where the names were simply "patch 1.3.0, patch 1.3.1", so on. | ||

I dont think blizzard thought this one through. This 1. removes skill from the game (like we need that blizz) and 2. it makes a cllossus an observer. Maybe sometimes it might even be better to have banelings blow up on colossus. So I really hate this unit automization. Also they added support for self cast hotkey? What is that? | ||

What is that? 1: You could already right click on unburrow and it would enable the autocast that would automatically unburrow if a unit came within range. (Less effective then casting it yourself) 2: This is just a fix. If a colossus would walk over a baneling it wouldnt trigger the auto unburrow this just fixes it so it will react in the same way as every other unit. | ||

You can't even view other people's ladder profile and division ladder anymore. There's no stats. Still no way to compare the rank of players not in the same division. This is not a serious competitive game. | ||

It's just a regular patch, the actual patch number is patch 1.5.0, They're making a big deal about it because it introduces a lot of stuff designed to bring custom game types to the front hence the "Arcade Patch". | ||
