Patch 1.1 In September

Just read this off of Gosugamers.net, which gets it from battle.net. Self explanatory. I'll link it to you all so you can read.

Quick summary:

- Damage done by tanks is going be to reduced
- Giving ultras splash damage
- Delaying build time for reapers/zealots

Ultras already have splash damage...

*Changing ultras building attack to normal attack, giving them splash damage vs packed buildings, like depots.

Oh, one other very awesome thing which you didn't mention Bobo is the coming chat channels! WOOOOT!

Cannot wait for that. Hopefully this will also be the patch to bring us some region hopping.

Chat channels are the main concern for the most of the public besides balance changes.

But LuckySword the region hopping or merging would be great! even so for Custom games as its a very packing system on SEA.

Apparently this patch is only two days away, Blizzard confirmed it :)
Get ready ppl!

Nape likes this - NA server fucking LOOK OUT!

It should be great!

We will finally have a choice of more than 3 popular custom maps that are playable...


How many proxi members are going across to NA?

Pretty sure I'll be hopping back and forward just like USEast and USWest.

I will probably be doing my casual hanging out on the NA server and doing my serious business laddering on SEA. So NA for custom 1v1 or UMS games with team-mates etc, and SEA for ranking up. Although I might use NA to play protoss or zerg on ladder :D

Unless I misread, the new patch does not have any channels or region swapping for the lack of a better term. :(.

They talked about region swap on the sea bnet page

In other news: Blizz unable to merge SEA and NA servers. In order to placate their audience, the video game manufacturer has bombed the shit out of the whole of Australia and told Indonesia et al to get over it.

Fixed an issue where unplugging headphones could cause the game to freeze.

IF ONLY I KNEW, ARGH

BTW, Ultras now wtf own Planetary Fortresses. Well, more accurately, they wtfown any SCVs trying to repair Planetary Fortresses. vid embedded here.

Holy hell.

Yeah that is awesome. At first I thought it was silly, but it could make sense ie. the building is being pounded so hard it's shaking and falling apart, damaging anything close. Seems overpowered, until you consider that it's a fucking ultralisk and if you can find the time to mass a couple in game, you deserve to beat some shit up!

Agreed with Nape.
