Greetings, Hive members.

I have recently archived all threads older than 7 days that were in the Admin Contact area. I plan to possibly delete these threads sometime in the future. If you had an issue that has not been resolved, but was sitting in that forum for over a week, please go post there about it again (you can reference the existing thread instead of explaining everything over) and we can hopefully get that taken care of. Thanks for your cooperation.

It's been a few days already but I figured I should tell you about it.

We have more or less succesfully moved the site to a new server. It doesn't run as well as I thought it would but we are working on it.

We still have a problem with some error 500 now and then.

The site is now located in Los Angeles and should be faster for our American crowd.

I hope it runs better for you guys.

Just a quick post because we keep noticing something in resource threads.

Don't post "subscribing" just to subscribe to a resource thread! We know you aren't subscribed automatically if you're the uploader but there's another way to do that without making that post!

Just hit this handy link:

and you'll be subscribed to the thread! No posting necessary!

We'll be deleting any "subscribing" posts we see, so please use the "subscribe to this thread" link!

Zarhym said:
In the near future, we will be doing another full reset of the beta database in order to test new changes. This reset will wipe the following information for all players:

Character and identifier

Friends list

Profile

League placement

Ladder rank

Due to the amount of people currently participating in the beta, this database reset will allow us to monitor and test conditions similar to a game release (albeit smaller). We want to thank everyone for their patience and continued help and support in testing StarCraft II.

Situation Report

Blizzard Entertainment - Xordiah said:
StarCraft II Situation Report: Patch 14

We would like to thank everyone for taking part in the StarCraft II beta. Your contributions to the beta process have been enormous. Each game and every player who has been actively participating has made an impact on the ongoing balance of the game and every game played has brought to light any possible strengths and weaknesses of the various units and races.

While we are getting to the end of this phase of the beta, we still need your participation and feedback for our latest balance changes in patch 14. As we have in previous reports, we have taken the time to explain a bit more about the changes that have been made and our thoughts on them.

Viking - Ground damage decreased from 14 to 12.
The Viking’s damage has been reduced to make them a little less effective on the ground. Massed Vikings were a little too powerful in a few late game scenarios. Vikings have also become very dominant in terran vs. terran matches and we are testing to see if a small damage reduction will make some other units more viable.

Archon - Build time decreased from 17 to 12.
Archons can now merge a little faster so “mid battle merges” will be a little bit more practical.

Ultralisk - Anabolic Synthesis upgrade removed. - Health increased from 450 to 500.- Speed increased from 2.25 to 2.9531.
Ultralisks have been buffed to include their speed upgrade as by default and to give them a little more endurance in big fights. This may or may not be enough to get the Ultralisk ultimately where we want him to be. We will continue testing going forward.

Infestor- Burrowed move speed increased from 1 to 2.- Peristalsis upgrade removed.

Roach - Organic Carapace upgrade removed.- Tunneling Claws now also increases burrowed regeneration rate from 5 to 10.
There are many different upgrades on the zerg, the Roach and the Infestor both had three upgrades. We are reducing and combining these upgrades so the units get a little bit more powerful or so that you have to buy fewer upgrades to complete your units. We have also reduced the cost of several energy abilities on the Zerg that didn’t see a lot of use. We will continue to monitor these abilities moving forward.

Official Report, @ Battle.net

Also, Blizzard decided to put up the new terms of use.
