I'm thinking of switching to Terran too, but I need to play some HOTS before I decide. For now though playing as Protoss and just working on keeping my APM up and my average unspent resources down while properly scouting and reacting is making me better in general.

I had the first five days of PoE-launch to play before I had to gg out of the game (for x amount of months) unfortunately :( I was nowhere near "done" :lol

Shit... with the dream I had today, I decided to head back in time and go through some of the old SC2 |OTs|, more specifically the MKP-attending-to-Dreamhack-and-then-bailing-out-last-second-parts...

I thought I'd be able to look back and laugh at this... but really, it's only making me depressed...

I'm still getting that "downloading data for an upcoming patch" thing in the launcher even after the new patch is finished. Hopefully once i finish that the lag and other problems will go away.

The new patch is HOTS. Did you finish downloading all 13GB of the game or whatever?

Alright, this is the second time today I have seen someone claim that it is Wednesday Feb 19th. It is not. Today is Tuesday (EST), gosh dangit. If it wasnt, I would not be typing this in class.

You mean the 20th. Dammit gave me a scare. I'm at work marking various files completed February 19th, 2013 - for a second I thought I'd have to redo them all lmao.

I didn't see this posted, but here are some (just the main changes, there are tons of little changes) of the changes to Wings of Liberty:

Wings of Liberty 2.0.4 includes:
- An all-new user interface with new menu screens.
- The launch of in-game Clans and Groups.
- New Replay features, such as Watch with Others and Take Command.
- A multitude of Editor improvements.
- New matchmaking options: Training Mode, Vs. AI Mode, and Unranked Play.
- Players Near You, so you can find other StarCraft II players on your local network.
- New customizable Observer UI."

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/8718598

I like that they're improving the social features (finally). Looks like a great update. My screenname is crazyorloco on it if anyone wants to add me. I like to chat on it. I'm not really good and my connection sucks, I play against the computer A.I. almost daily. I use to do this on the original starcraft too. I'll be moving to HOTS soon...

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Took long enough. New stuff looks pretty interesting, I might start watching GOM again if the balance isn't retarded again.

I created the group called NeoGAF, also created a clan called GAF(which is awesome for a tag).

So if you see me on and cannot find them on your own, PM me and I'll add you ASAP

Let me get this straight. Once I download this WoL patch, I'll be able to do global play right? Can someone also confirm that the experience bar is locked, please!

This patch is awful. The UI is jank, stuff like idle scvs is in a much harder to see position, I can't click on any enemy/neutral buildings/units, the game feels more sluggish etc. etc.

Hm I dunno, I like the new UI. Idle workers is just something you need to get used to. And clicking on an enemy unit/building is something you need to enable in the options, its stupid they they standard disabled it though.

My only complaint is that i can't click on building/units that aren't mine but i love the UI. I don't know how well the UI plays on a small monitor but i am playing on my 55" and it looks gorgeous on a big TV.

It's more the continuation of a lot of things that plagued WoL through out its life, biggest one being that it's still for the most part death ball vs death ball late games that got boring pretty fast.

I should qualify that while I watched a very limited amount of WoL this past few months I've even watched less HoTS, so I'm waiting for the coming MLG or IEM (whichever comes first) to give the game a fair shake.

Was going to take a screenshot but the client on my pc still needs the optimization, so I stole this from someone on reddit:

Well from what I've seen from the pre season of GSTL, a lot of plays are forcing moving around with smaller armies all over the map. The new harass units make it so its always a risk moving around with your entire army.
IMO, its looking pretty great and I've enjoyed watching the koreans playing around in HoTS.

Edit: Just created the NeoGAF clan on EU so everyone on that server hit me up so I can invite you!

Yeah its a stupid thing.

Unranked is my favourite new feature, it's great to get a few games in when its possible you can get interupted by stuff or have to go somewhere soon. Also great to test some new strats against human opponents!
