I'm doing ranked ladder on SEA server right now. If anyone wants to watch a guy who is barely awake play HOTS1v1 ladder on a laggy server with Kpop blasting, let me know.

Honestly what is the point? If there is any game genre that reviewers are just horrible at reviewing it is RTS.
I am happy they left Daybreak in though.

I suppose that achievements and save can't be carried on my main profile with the region trick ? :x

Nope, Yoshi said yesterday that they don't carry over.

PvZ my fav matchup in WoL too, so im not sure exactly what you're getting at.
I was asking if there was any interest, looks like there is. but I'll probably only play 5-6 more games. booting up stream now
EDIT: stream is up
edit2: done streaming for now too sleepyyyy
I was referring to people saying PvZ "is broken", I assume towards P since everyone cries about how Zerg is so awful.
Only got 30 mins until I have to go to work but I'll watch it until then. As a side request, I only like 3 kpop songs, Rainbow- A, Hyuna - Bubble pop and SNSD - Gee, play something that I might like
I'm a fucking moron. But fuck Blizzard too!
- I activated HotS.
- I didn't notice that for some stupid reason my Battle.net setting for Starcraft II is the EU Client.
- I installed the entire game using the EU Client without know. I watched Argo while waiting for it to download.
- Can't change regions in the client (Setting WHERE?? Is it off because Global Play is off???)
- HotS isn't live in EU yet.
So here I am reinstalling the entire game again off the disc this time, hopefully it's actually the proper SEA version like it says on the fucking box. And it seems SLOWER than the direct download. AGHRGASIGRIUSGOUHFOIAHIPFHAIPFA.

Did you use my trick? Works to re-activate the global play so you can choose yoru server. Doesnt matter what version you have installed
Starjewelled is ok but they didn't make a lot of those minigame maps. It seems they just released a few then forgot about them.
No because I'm too angry at myself right now. I'm just going to sit through this SEA Client download while I play some 3DS or something. Thanks though!
After taking a couple year long hiatus from Starcraft, I'm completely stoked to dive back in!
How is the midnight launch going to work? I think my client is updated, and bought HotS on battle.net so is it just going to launch the new game at midnight? Or will I have to install more?

could have hit the regions button on the left side of the screen before u log in
I don't know if they allow pre-load for Battle.net purchases but if they do, maybe you'll pre-load the HotS campaign. The 6GB patch they gave to WoL was the new engine and UI and Battle.net but I don't think that contained the HotS campaign so that might still need to be installed separately at midnight or pre-loaded separately.

I believe the majority is already pre-loaded (around 1gb's worth) - I wouldnt expect there to be much to download, if anything. Should be an activation and compiling of that pre-loaded data into the main game and you're off.
If you are interested in team play (3v3/4v4) you are more then welcome to play with me and a friend of mine.
We aren't the best but we have a lot of fun.
You can't, it's removed until the launch is over in all regions right now. Lol Blizzard.
That would be awesome! I'm terrible though. I used to be in Platinum league, but since I started back up I've been placed in bronze lol. Although I feel like I'm starting to get into the swing of things again.
My battletag is Aesthetic#1327 I believe. If anyone is interested in some games.
Starcraft II is a single install with everything. Your account information lets the game know what is available.
Wait so if I already have original SC2 installed, it'll just be a case of putting my key in once I get it, I won't have to download anything extra?

ok done playing for now ty for watching I went 4-1 placements on sea, it seems most people playing right now are Masterish level. Most likely people doing the same thing as me.
Lag was pretty damn bad tho
ty everyone who watched, sorry for the small amount of games.

I've already had my go at CE with Diablo III; I didn't like it.
Thinking about going digital this time around.
Will probably pick it up next weekend because I'll have more time to tackle the campaign.

You'll have to download some useless data (like the campaign for example).
It simply isn't a different exe.

Dragon troll campaign
So that's what he meant by having no performance expectations :lol
I'm joking... slightly
Pros are surprisingly bad at campaign, I have noticed.
