Fuj .. go organize frenly 1v1 tournament

Why count u out bro?

Hi guys, anyone know when's the release da- OH SHI-!!!!!!

Dunno about what other people think,but it seems like Battlenet isnt ready yet,from the looks of it.

Even simple things like changing from euro to us servers are still not in game.

The map editor is great,though.

I'd only be free after 11, have internet protocol man 2 to watch.

BTW have you guys watched this video?

local price for standard seems to be out.
SMM thugs at it again.
RM248? O_O

No thanks,mate. I hate SMM since day 1.

I rather pay more in Aus now,even im paying another RM100 more.

Great,seems like my client is the Great Britain version where i downloaded back in KL.

StarCraft_II_Beta_enGB_13891_Installer

Thats my folder name.

Apparently fiber optics has better ping

Rm 248 is expensive for it and more expensive than previous Starcraft
But Most of people willing to spend that money for it!

holyshit. rm250 from sendi?
any other way to buy them cheaper??

-.-... why he keep say my computer behind a firewall... i just format le D: .........

For these who played WoW before, is it using the same Blizzard Downloader tool for getting patches and co?

I never managed to get a "green" connection with that thing, even when able to run other torrent stuff perfectly fine on the side.

Sucks if they use this for the full game, that thing is good for US/EU but pretty crap for the rest of us 

Meh, okey, I tried from few places around Bandar Utama though, never really managed to get it work fine (it usually went back to the HTTP Download which takes forever).
I ended up downloading the patches from external websites if it was more than few tens of Mbs.
I did forward ports and all too.

See how it goes on retail then

SMM is the local distributor.
everyone gets their stock from SMM.

Did that, didnt help at all.

Like I said, I could run utorrent or any other stuff fine along, but that damn Blizzard thing never went very fast.
I could see connections starting in the detailed view but they closed in few seconds each time.

Was pretty weird, just hope will be better for SC2 (I moved since then, might help)

Thats why im getting from EB instead.

I rather pay RM100 more than getting from them.
The thing is, the Blizzard patcher suxs. It took me 3 hours to patch the damn game,while Steam would have happily finish it in 30 minutes.They have to get rid of the torrenting and use direct downloads. Then,they have region lock for Beta. It's another major problem and for some reason, it's on low priority for Blizzard to fix it.

My experience with the Beta so far is horrible. Worst beta ever,compared to RA3, BFBC2, DoW2, C&C4 and HoN Beta.

it would be a lot more hassle to get it else where.
if buy online on battle.net it would probably be cheaper (usd59.99) but it will probably take ages to download.
collectors edition buyers must buy physical copy and cannot resort to this option.

anyways, i wonder how will the 100+ collectors edition buyer in my pre-order list react if the local pricing for collectors edition is outrageously high.
with SMM, it is possible that they may jack the price up to RM400 - RM500

Well,as people always say, Blizzard is awesome and everything they do is great.

The way Blizzard patch is already obsolete and terrible, as most companies have changed to different method of patching where the client compares the local files and the files on server. Then, download only the files needed so the the local files is the same as the server. Blizzard have so much resource and they cant do it. Worse, there is not even a cumulative patch for the first few patches for the Beta as you have to download patch 1 to 10 one by one.

If they are so great, why is the patching is so painful and slow?

Even RA3 Beta have cumulative patches for each patch released.

I couldnt find any thread that have patch 9 which is the huge patch. The small ones are still ok.

Thing is, beta could actually be the good moment to test a new update tool too in my opinion

Not at release when so many people will be trying to update their game all at the same time

Wah .. so many complains about the beta, no complain abt the patch when u get the beta keys, last time complain whn u din get the beta keys ... haih!! 

well i'm i'm having no problem with the current sc2 patches...
wut it does is that it download files into a hidden 'update' folder and tracks the files in it...
so u could manually download patches and dump them all inside that update folder to patch up by running the client...
patch 9 is close to 500mb (based on the manual patch size)...
it took me around 20 minutes to patch up patch 9 (while raiding lol)...
so it depends on ur connection i guess...

From what i see on the thread, there are quite a few who spent few days in patching the game which means the patching system isnt efficient for some people.I have even seen people using a 3.5MBps connection who also took like 2 hours to patch the Beta.

It's not doing what is Steam is currently doing now, Blizzard updater is downloading each individual patches and apply them one by one which is slow and inefficient. Steam does it all in one go like find whats different and download whats different to replace it. There are cases where my TF2 just have a corrupted texture, it just find an replace that texture without the need of reinstalling the whole thing. Does Blizzard Updater does anything like this?

Considering Blizzard's past reputation and how close is the game to release, this isnt forgivable at all. Seems like the same DoW2 1.0 incident gonna happen again.

I cant be spending days to patch the damn game everytime i install the game.
Exactly. The size has nothing to do with it.
It took me 2 hours for Patch 9,while the earlier patches are pretty fast.

2 hours is consider fast enuff, it took me 1 day for patch 9.

u should see my 2v2 wit fujin when i go >100 roaches lol
