So far:
- Completely new Sound Effects (major improvement, while the cancel sound is now terrible I think)
- Blue cursor instead of green.
- Blueish look in the option menu
*Option Screen:
- Graphics: page now shows a function for Vertical Sync & Reduce Mouse lag
- Sound page: now shows movements sounds and respondse sounds as seperate tag boxes.
- Voice page: Using voicechat you can seperately adjust sound vs Music in relation to the voice chat.
- Gameplay page: There are more options (atleast for Mac):
1) Disable OS Keyboard Shortcuts
2) Swap Control and Command Keys (CMD instead of CTRL, this is great!!!)
3) Reduced Violence: hehe, less gore and stuff.
-Hotkey Page: Well I can still not change my hotkeys, but it shows more different commands to hotkey to.
- There is a new tab called Battle.net:
Shows a list of "blocked Real ID Friend Request, Blocked Communication, they moved the mature language filter to this tab, and there is a button "Logout of Facebook!"
