The server is back online!
While WoW gamers get the most attention and patches that work flawlessly; Blizzard releases a rather flawed patch 9 for their famous Starcraft 2 Beta. The patch when installed causes an infinite loop when the user tries to run the game. BUT, that's not all; Battlenet 2.0 has a series of simple errors such as "12rd" and "11st" place on ladders. This clearly points to Blizzard trying to save a buck and outsourcing the programming tasks to ease production costs. The lead developer of Battlenet2.0 should be replaced with a monkey that knows the Indian language. The results would be a tremendous improvement. (Somebody LIED on their resume' to get the job.) The Battlenet monkeys have lost data, broken connections, reset ladders multiple times, and ignored real issues.
At the same time Blizzard attorneys have been feverishly trying to stop any and all websites trying to make an emulator for their newest Battlenet 2.0 server. (This site does not have a Battlenet 2.0 server, nor does it use any software by Blizzard..so fuck off Blizz/Activision attorneys!) Blizzard seems to be ignoring the cries of the players for simple fixes and LAN capability. No more partying with friends! After 6 years of development and and years longer waiting for a sequel, Blizzard seems to be showing it's Starcraft fans exactly how it could care less about them since they do not sport a $15.00 USD membership fee EVERY MONTH!
To top things off most cannot enter a bug report to make Blizzard fully aware of its latest patch loop fuckup. The problem you ask? Battlenet accounts and forum accounts are linked. This means if you do not have an avatar picked (which is gone because of resets to the Battlenet Database) you CANNOT POST. How stupid is that? No picture..no post.
If Blizzard wants to get their shit straight, they need to hire a new Battlenet 2 Lead Developer/Manager and get the developers from the open source sc2 emulation teams to help the Indian developers that were outsourced to figure it all out.
What an absolutely disgusting display of ignorance on Blizzard's behalf.
Player Stats for Ladder games are now fixed and updated! The data from matches was saved so past games are correct in stats.
We are back up and running!
Follow thy commandments, and ye shall be on the path to enlightenment:
1) Thou shalt always Scout thy neighbor. Always. 2) Thou shalt build many workers, even if you think you have enough. 3) Thou shalt not try and over-expand and play a complicated macro game whilst being new. You will only make it harder to progress. 4) Thou shalt build counter units based on what your opponent is doing. ie Don't build Void rays against someone massing stalkers or marines. 5) Thou shalt not blame game balance when you lose. In 99.999% of cases you could've won by playing smarter. 6) Thou shalt not post "xx is overpowered" on the forums after losing to it once. You should understand that its simply not that simple. There are hundreds of ways to play the game. 7) Thou shalt recognise that experience is king. There is a HUGE AMOUNT of skills and strategy to learn and master, (I'm talking years to perfect). So don't go post "[Suggestion] NERF ROACHES HOLY CRAP" too quickly. 8) Thou shalt not type things such as "GG marauders are OP" after losing horribly to someone. It is only telling them that you're a bad player who couldn't stop it. Especially since that same player probably got his Marauders steamrolled the game before, by someone who was skillful. 9) Thou shalt always try new things. Especially when old things aren't working. 10) Thou shalt be patient. Watch replays if you want to learn faster. Live feeds have started for those without Beta keys. Check out our top navigation bar!
