I don't mind too much. June is the WC month anyway, beta and WC would take up all of my time! And i still have to work too...
But I wonder what the point of this is. Can't think of too many things: - major overhaul based on data collected so far (unlikely, why all the balance changes then) - they're not satisfied with SC2 and will decide whether to cancel it (they better not!) - server localisation, next beta phase will feature the actual setup (with stress test)
I guess it's the last, anyone else got other ideas?

last option is the only one i can see being correct. they have put in too much time and effort already for it to be the first two

Oh how quickly Blizzard owes us all 100% uptime on a BETA idk, i wouldnt be complaining if the servers went down if there was lan support so events, if not the ladder, could continue. it's just that an sc2 scene has rapidly come into being *even in the beta stages of the game* and blizz is showing how little they care about it. kinda sucks =/. Its a beta, the entire purpose is to test and balance

Such funky timing. Beta ends when my finals end and will most likely start back up when classes are in session again.

They should seriously re-think this

No they seriously should not. Every Beta Blizzard has run basically has been done in two phases, one long first phase, and then after about a month break and some heavy changes, a shorter second phase follows. This is the best way for them to implement a Beta test, and doing it this way will allow players to play almost up until actual release of retail. The two-phase (or even multi-phase) Beta is common not only to Blizzard but many other developers; I'm sure there is a good number of changes that require server-side changes and general overhaul that can not be accomplished in a simple patch.

A few weeks before summer vacation. Hopefully they will go back up when summer vacation begins.

My warning in B.Net says it expires June 21, possibly a bug?

If you ask me they should shut down beta 1st phase NOW and work on the issues and start 2nd phase asap.

It's not really a bug, its just a placeholder text

I think Blizzard should use the patch 12 version and work from there with implementing features that players have been requesting. I can understand that they will want to avoid LAN because of piracy but there is really no reason for removing chatrooms. The identificator System was also better than the current one.
Same goes for ultra buff/nerf which only managed to make the unit even worse...
|
I think they should shut down the servers today or apply some kind of hotfix. This patch 13 beta is just making everything worse. Ppl wont stop complaining.

do they say anywhere when they'll open up the second phase of the beta? and if having a beta key for phase 1 lets you play phase 2?? cause that would irritate me quite a bit if i needed a seperate key for beta phase 2.

Sorry i'm sure this has been asked before; but does anyone know what time the beta goes down?
