has anyone tried it yet on an nVidia card on OS X with 10.6.4?
has the performance been affected as much as with Steam games?

Been playing pretty smoothly for the past few hours
Mind you, I didnt even try laddering or anything
Just played some customs with some RL buddies
We couldn't get games to load when we were in a party, so I would just create a random custom game, and then manually invite them in each time. It worked nicely, and there was pretty much no lag whatsoever. So it was fun in that respect.

Completed my practice games. I'm not sure they help *at all*. Being walled in basically plays completely different from real games.

Some unlisted patch balance updates apparently.
Stalkers not being able to blink to islands is very stupid.
I recall 1 post clarifying that they infact could blink to islands (LT islands), but not scrap station anymore) so maybe blink range got reduced by 1 or 0.5watervengeance said:
Could be wrong, or perhaps you just need sight since higher terrain is not line of sight.

If them undocumented changes are true then WTF, Protoss nerfed again and Terran practically left alone? 5 extra seconds on a reaper is sod all. WTH......
5 seconds to build zealots is the difference between a zerg runby and blocking it on alot of maps. 15-25% buildtime increases on the mainstay of the Protoss army is not cool at all. The second the EU beta goes live, I am learning to play Zerg.

Like I said, 5 seconds on a reaper is sod all as they are not the mainstays of a Terran army and not a major problem unless terrans cheeses with them, and 5 seconds is sod all in that regard. It effects their early harass very slightly.
The Zealot nerf if true on the other hand will really hurt Protoss all game long both offensively and defensively. If gateway units are too good compared to the rest of the protoss arsenal then blizzard should at least fix the rest of the arsenal before nerfing gateway units further.

I am a sole believer of Protoss being an unfinished Race in SCII and too balanced around Gateway units. Because of this in high levels they can be too good as they do not need to tech so hard in the midgame and many claim them to be too strong. The reality is this is the only reliable gamestyle Protoss has, everything else is highly situational and can render itself worthless. I am all for nerfs to the gateway units of Protoss, provided blizzard compenstate by making their alternatives as viable as the other races options. Yes Archons / Cariers / Morthership - I am looking at you.

How the fuck are they still playing around with Zealots? It's one of the staples of the franchise..Starcraft 2 is going be a messy, unbalanced game on release date if this holds up.
Thank God there's custom maps to fall back on in the mean time (technically not right at this moment).

Urgh, EU servers are still down.

Before patch: Units would attack any units it saw on the way to the rally point if you didn't give them any actions. Attack-Move functionality.
After patch: Units just ignore enemy units and go straight to the rally point, even if they see enemy units, or are being attacked.

Fuck me, I read this thread and thought "Wow, guess you have to boost first zeal or die now" and got 6pooled three minutes later.

I tried to create a game, I chose my map, then pressed "Create" and now the buttons are darkened out and the game isn't creating.

this is fucking unbelievable. I went to bed and now 9-10 hours later you still cant even play a game? what the fuck, blizzard!?
Yaweee said:
Yes and no. Travel time to the proxy positions still plays a role. That's at least what I noticed with the dozens of proxies from Toss players on all kind of maps.
I'm not surprised by the Zealot change at all, considering how often I saw proxy Gateways, but at this point Blizzard should just hard code a "15 min no rush!" rule into the game.

I haven't played in a while, but I am pretty sure this isn't right
Edit: I looked it up, and Bisonian is incorrect. These were the cool downs prior to the patch for each warpgate unit.
Zealots - 23 seconds
Stalker - 32 seconds
High Temp - 45 seconds
Dark Temp - 45 seconds
Sentry - 32 seconds
So according to the above notes, it will now take 28 seconds instead of 23 seconds to warp another unit after a zealot was built.

"The Warp Gate also allows any unit to be produced in 5 seconds! This means those reinforcements will be coming in fast. However, a cool-down period must be waited out before new units can be produced that is equal to the units normal build time minus 10 seconds. "
You are 100% correct, I'll go edit my posts. That is in fact a pretty big protoss nerf.

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but can someone share their thoughts on why T should be nerfed?
There must be specifics you are thinking of?
I'm not even close to the top of the Silver division, so yeah, I'm not going to pretend like I know too much.. But I would like to learn more! In the Diamond/Plat replays I've seen, I haven't seen any blatantly obvious overpowered Terran strats.
Zealots were crazy strong as an early-game force, especially against a low-level player like me. But a 5 second delay is ridiculous, even I know that :lol
