[slidewinder]

Khaldor's stream is still pretty choppy. Probably just own3d sucking, though, huh?

 

[syllogism]

So 3:15 PM - 4:15 PM PDT is when we should be seeing the new multiplayer units?

Probably. Own3d has never been too great for me.

 

[Dooraven]

Own3D is horrible for Australia. It's always laggy. It's pretty ok though on shoutcraft.

Edit: who ever this blight person is, he's clearly not good enough for proplay yet.

If you put your cursor over it, they say it will be revealed there.

I hope this gets some coverage over in the free stream, but probably not since the main stage is exclusive for wow bullshit.

Seems to work a lot better than Khaldors stream ^^

Stopped watching TotalShitstic when he stopped playing the game.

Why? It's not like he was a good player that brought some insight in his casts. He is just good play by play caster.

Because I loved his I Suck At Starcraft 2's (watched every single one and found it hilarious). Now he's just bitter as living fuck when he finally decides to play SC2, worse than IdrA.

Never watched those, or him playing in general. I do like his casting though. It's refreshing from all of these Day9 wannabees that try to be analytical casters without knowing anything they are saying.
I'm looking at you Mr "can't get to Masters with Protoss" Bitter.

Its his dialect that does it

Day9...? Is he even trying to get to masters?

I'm pretty sure Day9 is Masters :>

Patch 1.4.2!

Source : http://us.battle.net/blizzcon/en/forum/topic/3424792839

"BlizzCon 2011 is just around the corner! Attendees are starting to pick up their badges and goody bags this afternoon -- including the cards to redeem for this year's World of Warcraft in-game pet and top-secret StarCraft II in-game gifts -- so we wanted to give you a heads up about when to expect this year's items to show up in-game.

Murkablo, this year's World of Warcraft in-game pet, will be available in-game on Thursday, October 20.

The StarCraft II portrait and decal will be available in next StarCraft II patch (patch 1.4.2), estimated to be released in early November.

Attendees who picked up their goody bags can redeem the codes from their cards now, and the pet, portrait, and decal will automatically appear in the games attached to their Battle.net account at the times above. People who bought the Virtual Ticket will automatically receive their gifts at these times, too."


since it is x.x.2, I am not sure if it there will be any balance changes. But if ppl push a little bit during blizzcon, especially with the "TL interview with Browder", they may add some balance changes.

... in early november!

Sounds fair. Pretty much all needed buffs in TVT.

You forgot these:

Zerg:
* Possible to chain fungal growth, with each fungal do output damage
* Ultras cost 100/100, 2 supply, build time 25 sec.
* Zerg start with hive tech.

I thought this was the current state of Ultras now anyway?

Still doesn't fix them getting stuck behind a single zergling.

Hmm another Barcraft event for Blizzcon tonight and tomorrow. This game is going to lead me into alcoholism.

Some say I am, I prefer to think I'm a professional.

That's a face of a winner

He's addicted to victory. He is unfortunately going cold turkey at the moment.

 

[Q8D3vil]

if i were haypro, i would have quit sc2 right now and look for another career.

but but Haypro is so good in practice

 

[AmFreak]

He looked like a bronze player there, but everybody in this group would like one against Marine King probably :/

Sneak Peaks at new stuff for HoTS:

Terran: aoe spine crawler, transforming factory unit, Goliath substitute online
Zerg: burrow moveable blank, reverse dark swarm, detection changes
Protoss: mineral shields, new nexus defensive ability, and............ Cloning?

http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/ljytu/hots_unit_teasers/

uhh not sure about giving Terran an AoE spine crawler lol but we'll see.

 

[ultron87]

So a Reverse Dark Swarm would be a "not let units fire while under it" spell? That seems... quite useful.

What the fuck

 

[Dooraven]

eh, nexus defensive ability should be good, would help a lot to remedy the protoss early game. But cloning? Mineral Sheilds? Will have to see.

 

[MrKnives]

Is this single player? Tell me this is sp. This stuff doesn't compute in mp.

I like the idea giving Terran more AoE. The nexus defencive ability should be ion cannon from command&conquer and they should be able to fire with it anywhere on the map dealing massive damage

 

[Dooraven]

Single player is going to be using Protoss? (well it could be, we had Protoss campaigns in WoL but it's most likely multi)

 

[Yoshichan]

who's this asshole "leaking" (more like bullshitting) the news? I won't believe a single word unless it comes from Blizzards own mouth.

uh it's Josh Sluth, aka IPL Community Manager.

Poster on reddit is JoshSuth who at least should be very credible source.

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

uh it's Josh Sluth, aka IPL Community Manager.

Not to mention he's already been inside the venue helping set up booths.

 

[Dooraven]

Some more tweets from him:

Yesterday I got to "skip the line" and play the Blizzcon HotS and DotA. You'll hear more after doors open but I think Terran will be mad.

It is not a final build obviously but in my opinion Protoss new units are the best, followed by Zerg, and Terran just got unneeded stuff.

Again, this is just a Blizzcon build but there are 2 new units and 1 sort of extra for each race. Also at least one unit removed from game.

Trying to decide when it's ok to blab everything... Right when doors open?

http://twitter.com/#!/AskJoshy

Well Terran getting the shaft was kind of expected due to the almost complete nature of the race.

 

[ezrarh]

Hmm. Interested to see what they have. Hopefully the new stuff is exciting to use and watch.

 

[Yoshichan]

Joe Slush is probably a troll since I've never heard of him.

Also, what does "Zerg: burrow moveable blank" mean?

 

[MrKnives]

 

[Ikuu]

Interesting.

 

[Dooraven]

Hmm so the swarm host is the leaked shillouette.
