Welcome to your West Coast overlords.

Nothing new. Not that it doesn't suck for east coasters.

I know a few people staying up regardless though. Or in the case of one friend, going to bed/waking up early to play a few hours before work.

 

[Svafnir]

wont let me switch

people starting to complain on bnet forums. diablo 3 all over again.

Yeah it's not for an hour and half.

 

[nitric0]

I reformatted earlier in the month, do I have to install WoL before installing HotS? Picked up HotS just now

 

[Corran Horn]

EG needs to teach suppy how to throw.

I await the day when big games like this prioritize digital releases. Then this can be on Friday night/Saturday morning and I won't care about waiting for those living-in-the-past West Coast people.

 

[Xamdou]

And here we go!!!

 

[profit]

Why can't I play HotS? It keeps launching WoL :S

Did you change your region to where it was launched already? Had the same problem, booted up in the America's, but had to select europe.

I don't think so, I remember all the modern Bnet games being 12am PT. Definitely Diablo 3 was the same. It's only been fairly recently that Steam started doing local midnight unlocks, a few years ago a lot of Steam games only unlocked at 12 PT too, but Blizzard isn't really setup to do that I don't think, it's not simply a matter of letting the game unlock for them. :\

 

[Tacitus_]

People still don't understand timezones? Blizz turns on the servers at the same time on a continent. I couldn't play until 1AM either and the ruskies had to wait til 2:00 (or more if they lived further east). OTOH, brits should've been able to boot it up at 23:00.

I wont say I'm 100% sure but I remember WoL being ready at midnight. I recall playing with my friend when I got home.

 

[fallagin]

What do you guys thing, should I play single player or multiplayer first?

 

[SRTtoZ]

OH NO ITS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[antitrop]

What do you guys thing, should I play single player or multiplayer first?

The campaign, of course!

 

[Sibylus]

Would be nice if some tournaments picked up take command and ran with it as its own kinda mini-bracket. Maybe a fun way to determine seeding?

 

[calder]

Omg that was the craziest fight at a ramp ever. Suppy really didn't think the swam host positioning through lol

 

[Xamdou]

OH NO ITS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1-2 hour maintenance starting 11:00pm pacific time...

 

[fallagin]

The campaign, of course!

Hmm, maybe.. Oh god I cant decide!!

 

[Proven]

I thought I was the only one still watching the stream. That moment got me shouting out loud.

 

[FieryBalrog]

just watched the flash vs live game. well if that's what we can look forward too... god damn

though i gotta say one thing that still bothers me as a long time BW fan/player/watcher is the ridiculous speed of starcraft 2

 

[Danj]

Mine shipped from Amazon UK at 1:12am! Cutting it a bit close aren't we Amazon, I hope it gets here in time! Apparently it's in Birmingham at the moment.

 

[cdyhybrid]

So if I did the digital preorder, I can play the campaign at midnight Pacific?

 

[SRTtoZ]

Hmm, maybe.. Oh god I cant decide!!

No, campaign first. No exceptions.

Unless some SimCity errors occur, sure.

 

[Keikaku]

Well, HotS just became the first game in a long that I've double dipped on. I can't wait until 10PM tomorrow to play this thing.

 

[Haunted]

That Take Command feature actually is pretty cool. Great for showmatches.

Does it also create a replay when someone d/cs from battle.net? So essentially no more regames?

Yes, there is a "resume from replay" feature.

 

[fallagin]

Ok Ill do it. But just know everyone that I could have done the multiplayer first. You brought this on yourselves.

Spoiler

 

[mr stroke]

NO, please no. Blizzard don't fuck this launch up

 

[killer rin]

Can you pre-download the game if you bought the digital edition? I can't seem to find the option.

They used this twice in the last IEM. Seemed to work very well.

That's good.

 

[fallagin]

The thought of sim city actually loading up in the middle of hots and <parameter:stringing is pretty amusing.

 

[Neki]

Not sure if I should buy, I'd primarily play for the single player.

I guess I'll sit on the fence all day tomorrow while I'm out.

 

[TriniTrin]

Can't wait to get the art book! I always loved the Zerg designs and art!

 

[Yoshichan]

EU SERVERS ARE UP!

GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

Enjoy, everyone :3.

OMG I just saw the game between Flash and Life. FUCKING INSANITY! This is one of the best Starcraft 2 games of all time easily.

Told you it was a great, great game!

Kripparrian is really fucking bad at Starcraft.

Like, holy fuck.

People honestly can't be expecting him to be good at a game he's never played before, right? RIGHT? Besides, Kripp is a very intelligent player, he makes so many different things with math and calculations. SC isn't really a game based on math.

Getting it next week. Gotta orswr my mechanical keyboard first. Awwwwww yesaaaaaaaa

I was wondering where the heck you were!

 

[Corran Horn]

15mins till the protoss reign starts over again

 

[Nitsuj23]

I decided to play the WoL campaign before I buy HotS since I've never beaten it. Right now I can't even log in to battle.net, though. If I beat the game "offiline" will I still get the badge in my profile showing I've beat the campaign?

I know it's silly, but it's kind of pointless to play if I don't get recognition for beating it. And why wouldn't I be able to play WoL campaign right now anyway, bad timing!

 

[Syphon Filter]

15mins till the protoss reign starts over again

toss 4 life.

 

[K.Sabot]

I can tell I'm going to hate the HotS campaign just by its writing.

 

[mr stroke]

10 mins

so ready!!!!

 

[fallagin]

I can tell I'm going to hate the HotS campaign just by its writing.

I'm going to savor every second of its cheesy bullshit

 

[profit]

Oh man... fuck snow!
almost 1800KM of traffic, which means the entirety in Belgium is just stuck....

 

[Corran Horn]

toss 4 life.

Damn right

 

[(._.)]

I'm still up :[

might as well get two hours in. seriously blizzard, why? why couldn't you have unlocked it at the time a game should go live? ughhh :[

 

[fallagin]

You were going to go pick up the game? That sucks.

Edit: on another note, I was playing against the ai today in wol and the ai seems to be alot smarter than before. The protoss sentries actually use force fields now to block their ramp!!
