Fixed an issue where loading complex bank files would cause the client to disconnect from Battle.net.

Someone should test how large bank files can be now. This could potentially be awesome.


Also, an undocumented change: that little preview box for units has been fixed. I recall people whining about it, it might have gotten fixed in an earlier patch, but I don't remember that ever happening.

 

[FelFox]

This patch has been disappointing for me, but luckily my expectations of stuff from Blizzard are adjusting to the new, sad reality.
It's been a month, hasn't it? And the largest problems of SC2 haven't even been addressed.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Whats the problem with these features? If they were not made, there would be no features at all. Which is better? Nothing or something?

 

[AKAIMAX]

If you hate the battery and time option don't use it? Why complain about it if you can just disable it? Some people will find it useful, if you don't, stop complaining.

I don't see why people are hating on this patch, you just got like 20 different fixes in the editor and its the second patch or so. You should be happy and wait for more features/fixes in the upcoming patches.

 

[Darkness-4ever]

Added a chance field to effect data.

Yay, just what I needed, will make doing % chance abilities so much easier.

 

[Coolty44]

Seige tanks lowered in damge? Bollocks. I guess my anti-AA strategy needs some reworking now..

 

[Mille25]

sounds good :>

will test the banks when bnet is online in EU.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

At least we have some time before patch comes here, i.e before ultralisk hits 1 unit and another dies xD rofl rofl

 

[HINDYhat]

Imtor, maybe you shouldn't assume that everyone here is strictly a mapmaker and knows nothing about SC/2.

A new game clock has been added. Players can now instantly see how long they've been in their current mission or match

This is sweet. Now I can easily tell if I'm late, or if I'm expecting a 5 roach rush, or a 4gate, etc.

Build time increased from 33 to 38.
Warp Gate cooldown increased from 23 to 28.

This is good, imo. Might make people stop 2gating and friggin' korean 4gate all-in'ing me.

Siege mode damage changed from 50 to 35 (+15 armored).
Upgrade damage changed from +5 to +3 (+2 armored).

Probably my favourite change in the entire patch.

Ram ability removed. Ultralisk will now use normal attack against buildings.
Damage decreased from 15 (+25 armored) to 15 (+20 armored).

Damage nerf is good, because ultras were just retardedly powerful. However, splash at the attacked unit's centre is not exactly the best.

 

[viiva]

Hey cool is this the 3D patch?

 

[tagg1080]

Can some1 with power get this guy to stop?

Jeez...



I personally havn't decided if I like the tank change yet.

I had a group of 6 zealots rush a group of tanks, 3 of them, and I didn't have charge, and a the ball of 'lots made it to the tanks.

This is not what I was expecting.



I never use ultra's, so that doesn't really effect me, but the 'toss changes are meh, other than robo tech or air, toss doesn't really have much else to do other than warp gate builds, (at least to my knowledge), so that kind of effects more than just the rushes, but I can see why it was needed.


I think this is getting it closer to balanced though, the tank nerf will def make the terran change up their composition slightly I think, as now they have to compensate for non-armored units a little more than before.


Only time will really tell, will post back if I get any real opinion on that tank dmg change, that is still an interesting one to me.

 

[Deep_Blade]

I for one am loving the Siege Tank nerf, as a Zerg player I tend to have a large amount of weaker units, Siege Tanks just made my entire army poof in seconds. Will definitely be enjoying the destruction of the mighty Terran, whom I have had so much trouble with. But im in Bronze, so what would I know >.<

You know what works/doesn't work for you, and that is all that matters, to you.

Take advice if you want to from the more experienced, but the bottom line is what you want to do.

Be proud for what you know, and even prouder in the fact that you learn from others.

[/serious talk]

 

[The_Phalanx]

I'm starting to hope that Blizzard never implements chat channels and clans just to spite TheTerran. That would be pretty fucking hilarious.

I will point one thing out about what was said however. TheTerran, you said that the bunker nerf was stupid because they were useful against Protoss. My reply is that I fail to see how a 5 second increase in build time has any affect upon their usefulness against Protoss. The 5 second build time increase will only affect the very early game, and Terrans rushing Protoss almost never works. It's a defensive structure, which means it gets build in advance. 5 seconds is barely noticeable when building defenses; it is only noticeable when being used offensively, which it isn't the Bunker's primary purpose.

 

[Darkness-4ever]

I think what would have been substantially more useful in the patch update would've been to make Zerg a bit easier to use, they are likely the most changed of the three races in the transition from SC1 to SC2, nothing too big, but something small and reasonable like Spawn Larvae being able to be autocastable. Either that, or making it so you do not need to have your camera on units to have them cast abilities on each other, in Warcraft 3, you could cast abilities on specific units just by clicking on their icons when grouped, Zerg would be able to macro a bit more easily if they didn't need to constantly switch their camera to look at each queen and corresponding hatchery to spawn larvae. It would definitely make Zerg more appealing for me to play, but for now I think I'll remain Terran.

 

[PurplePoot]

Terran aren't particularly easy to play. In fact, one of my friends (1200 Diamond Terran) just recently switched to Zerg and is finding them far easier.
