List of Gaf Members in Beta: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=20461745&postcount=7361

If you want your name added to the list, Post your BNET name in the _____.____ Format. EU players please post EU next to the ___.___ so I can put you on the correct list.

Best strategy to grow your buddy list is to add the frequent posters in this thread, and then ask for an invite to the conversation. In the conversation window you can open the tab on the right wall to see the list of players. You can then Right click Add all the names you don't already have.

btw mila unless im mistaken im rather sure that the unique identifier on names cant be capitalized.

Just looked at the list and half the names are capitalized, just figured id mention it although I dont personally care :)

I could be wrong, though?

Caps or not it doesn't matter Ice Monkey. I just copy paste the Gaf account name and the name they put into the post. But yeah, I dunno why I'm updating the list atm, its likely going to get reset once the patch hits and I'll have to start all over.

so let me get this straight...

...Those first 5 placement matches (I chose novice when I first started) are actually on a slower game speed? I thought they just changed the maps to protect against early rushing?

There are 5 Practice matches and 5 placement matches

When you pick beginner you get practice matches at fast only speed *slower* and have rocks to defend against rushes.



Patch looks interesting. Glad to see Protoss not bugged too much

I like this change.

PROTOSS
Immortal
Build time increased from 40 to 55.

Protoss Nerfs continue. This one isn't that major though.

ZERG
Infested Terran
Damage increased from 5 to 8.
Speed decreased from 1.5 to 0.9375.
Queen
Speed off creep decreased from 1.5 to 0.938. (Speed on creep unchanged.)
Spine Crawler
Attack period decreased from 1.6 to 1.85.
Infestor
Neural Parasite range increased from 7 to 9.
Fungal Growth projectile removed; Units in the target area are now instantly hit.

Necessary Spine nerf. Infestors still meh. Fungal Growth needs a damage increase or ae increase, or cost reduction imo, it got neither.

2v2
Removed (4)LostTemple
Removed (4)Metalopolis

Metal I don't mind seeing going, but Lost Temple QQ. I understand though this is beta and they need testing on other maps

Added (4)AridWastes
Added (4)Coalition
Added (4)Decena
Added (4)ScorchedHaven

Excited about these

Queen speed nerf is lame as fuck.

Ever seen a quad queen rush on some of those shorter 1v1 maps? Definitely done to counter that, just like the scv hp nerf. I wonder why Reapers went untouched though.

its gotta go on more than just win loss. they record actions per minute and income, army size, etc for replays.... i have a feeling (or at least a hope) that that goes into consideration when matchmaking.

Well actually no. What could they achieve? Costing 600 minerals and moving really fucking slow even before the nerf...

1.85 seconds in between attacks is in fact an attack speed decrease ;)
Click to expand...

yes, attack speed decrease > attack period increase

But most of all, I am delighted they removed Lost Temple and kept Twlight Fortress!!!YAY BLIZZARD!!
