Will this prevent us from using relocalizers?
Nah? HotS will have function to change language (with Global play), like Diablo 3

Most cheats dont change any gamefile, that is way to easy to detect. This will stop mods but not cheats.

(that's just how software development works) So what could be done? You mean to stop hacks? Well it's not part of this discussion, so let me keep this short. Blizzard is pursuing hack developers with legal methods, that's the best they can do. Thought I think they really should step up their client protection, but it's only a cat and mouse game as long there is enough money to gain with hack development. @skeldark I never said anything about the time frame needed to update the hack, 5 minutes is a bit short thought, it depends on what was changed. So yes, good developers will have their new version ready most of the time in less than an half hour. But it will take Blizzard at least a few hours to put the new client version through quality control and release it. (I assume QC exists ) | ||

Hopefully blizzard will add in ways for us to change the UI. Give us the option of a brighter/darker team color in the UI, let us change the background and such with user uploaded files. Maybe this will encourage them to make everything better without modding files. Or maybe they'll say fuck it and we'll be out of luck, we can only ask they provide support and hope they listen. | ||

I will be very sad. What an absurdly obnoxious thing to do when in reality I seriously doubt it will deny hackers/cheaters at all. Cheat programs read from the game data, they don't change the game files themselves (or they'd be ridiculously easy to detect by warden). | ||

Zerg v Zerg is just ridiuclous sometimes, for both the players and viewers. Black roaches vs black roaches, green banelings vs green banelings. Half the time I have no idea what the fuck is going on. | ||
