This has been talked about before (and i'm pretty sure has been fixed in the latest beta patches), the game data was just a bunch of old patches mashed together because it's not what they were testing, I don't think they're seriously considering bringing back for instance, 1 supply roaches, at this point.

I'm surprised there were no balance changes... I was really expecting queen ground range to 4, and I play zerg. I think that would be appropriate.

That was like way at the start, the first beta patch brought the balance up to sc2 1.4.4 level.

seriously guys, quit bitching about balance. there's a thread for that, don't clog up this one (especially when there weren't even any balance changes)
otherwise, I'm excited about the rest of the stuff. not detrimental, and i feel there won't be many more balance changes until HotS

At the very least, it would be worth PTRing. I admit some bias, as I would like to be able to run my Probes around more and FF off Queens with added coolness.

Wait; wtf? If you lift a baneling and kill it it will explode and hurt the units under it?!?! Take a water balloon and hold it above your head. Then take a knife and poke a hole in the balloon. You probably get wet. If the water ballon would have been a baneling then you would have covered your face with burning acid. It would make less sense if the units under a lifted baneling didn't take damage.
By that logic, any air units shot down should crash into the ground and damage units underneath. :D
It's just not something that's intuitive based on gameplay and design. hehe.

Patch Notes - 1.5.0 Arcade Beta
These changes are for Arcade. In the OP you can see some new changes, like Drone bug fix with queue commands and other stuff

Oh my mistake, I had that linked to me and without reading the title assumed it was a more complete patch notes than in the OP. Sorry.

The patch notes aren't on the launcher page in the OP anymore. Does that mean it's not being released soon?

That is rather a bad sign if you ask me. But maintainance day is Tuesday so I guess they will release it next Tuesday.

They already did transparent background, but it's still boring.
Well you can do transparent Battle.Net UI before 1.5.0 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=333902
In 1.5.0, like in Diablo 3, there are new system, that checks EVERY file, no matter, it was added or it replaces old file. I hope there will be still some ways to add your own files to the game, but what I can say, that they're revamped game client.
In Diablo 3 it's not possible to change game localization via replacing SAME files (!!!) and renaming enGB to something other. It starts redownload renamed (!!) files again.
But that can be good at other side, because there can be less maphackers, that are able to alter game resources too, with same ways, as many did custom backgrounds, stronger team color mods, etc
|
Probably already been asked, but does anyone know when 1.5 will be released?
|
I think this interface/arcade beta has now been going on longer than the actual starcraft 2 beta did... Seriously...
|
I really doubt blizzard would make any major balance changes with hots coming so soon. Why bother changing a game which is about to reset anyway? that or blizzard actually does hate terran.
