Pre-ordered the digital upgrade today. Now launching SCII to preload the content

--- Ninja Edit ---


Nice change to startup screen Of course, the actual content is still not accessible. I think they're doing this just as a teaser

Now to hope that ActiBlizz doesn't screw up the actual launch like D3. EA's SC5 launch was a disaster which shows that gaming companies just never learn from history. Hope ActiBlizz prove me wrong.

Also, just one week from SC5 launch. I pokai already, bonus money all gone

If you bought digital download from Battle.Net, just launch SC2 and leave the launcher alone. It will preload HotS if you have made digital purchase and have logged into that account on that PC before.

I already preloaded on Saturday. About 5GB download, took an hour on UniFi 20mbps.

Eh, nothing wrong with watching TV while playing HotS at the same time if both are in the same room. Just turn off game BGM and turn up TV volume lor.

Thats why they gave you one week advance preload

Okok I thought tonight got some major badminton match because DiGi mentioned Datuk Lee Chong Wei on Facebook again.

Well, no worries laa, the game not going anywhere wat. Besides, playing at launch is not guaranteed one, chances are the server so flooded that it is inaccessible for first day like D3 or SC 5

You're not alone. I just found out that I'm also stuck waiting until 3:01 PM tomorrow before I can play HotS because they have disabled Global Play and I was last logged into US server

I wonder why they dun detect region of Battle.Net account and decide whether you can have HotS already or not from there :/ My Battle.Net account is Asia Pacific one :/

Exactly. I didn't switch in time either I thought they will detect from your Battle.Net account region like Origin Wasn't warned to switch back to SEA server

Nah, I can wait. Can squeeze a few more hours out of SC5 before throwing it aside for HotS EA's servers just finally became stable after so many days of insanity.

Were you last logged in to a US server?

Well, HotS is an expansion pack. You expecting HotS to be a standalone game?

Well, only 50 minutes to go until they unblock those who accidentally set to US server and didn't change back...

I think that's correct. I bought North America SC2 (purely because at that time got discount). When I go check out my profile after Patch 2.0.5 came out, my SC2 region has changed from "North America" to "Global". And when I buy HotS expansion from Battle.Net North America it also clearly state I was buying Global version.
