Quick mockup on how I wish the "StarcrafT" tab was.
Its really not that Impressive, The Quick match is now in a crappy spot, that requires Work to get to.... This pissed me off... and is really going to take away from the Quick match Experience which I play A LOT!!!, It really made it so that I didnt want to play quick match OR customs... I'm sorry blizzard
The custom map section I dunno looks Okay...I guess
While I do like the Picture thing, I think they are way too large, and they should have allowed for a smaller picture, thereby increasing the number of Maps on Page 1, from 12 to 24, that would have greatly helped.
The editor changes are nice, but un-needed, We have mostly everything we NEED, not saying the cinematic editor isnt great, though tuff, cinematics can already be done.
I really think this is going to be a Hit and a miss.
Why cant we have And Open lobby system, that looks the same as the whole thing does now but replace popularity system with Open lobby.... I really think this is going to be a fail, and I think that this will be what Turns me off of starcraft..... it makes Starcraft feel Lonelier...
Plus Where starcraft and Arcade are written is two different font sizes and looks like crap LOL.
Editor changes are nice, But the changes to The actual multiplayer menus are crap. sorry.
Let's, for once, give Blizz some credit.
They are listening to the community. They want to know what we want. That's why they are having alpha/beta of the patch.
@Flinkelinks: Go For me, it seems they just pretending that they are listening. But we will see...
Blizzard wants Starcraft 2 to be a success just as much as we do. Besides, there's no real reason for them to be "pretending that they are listening." If they wanted to leave the custom maps system the way it is, it's much easier just to do nothing and wait until HotS before making any changes at all.
On TeamLiquid which is known for being Blizz haters or whiners, one of them complained that the matches buttons are reversed starting with 4v4. Now that's a funny complaint, however I think we need a quick match button, not click 2 -3 times to go match, though does few matches matter really.
The only things that may need improvement is the Arcade tab, I can guarantee no serious, melee player gives an F how the buttons are ordered or how it looks. I've also complained about features during Sc2Beta but nothing surprises me anymore so I stopped caring and just move on.

It is funny, When i saw the quick match that's not so quick now I saw they inverted it and said "Someone's going to complain about this, I know".
But anyway, yeah, I think blizzard lost the track on quick match, that's what made it awesome that you didn't have to go anywhere but the main screen to start a match. Right now, since everything's split up in two parts, the main screen has nothing. It's pretty disappointing. I'd like to see an hybrid of quick match and quick custom, quick custom being a button for "fun or not" since that is random, right? :P
But yeah, quick match should really be in the main screen not hidden 5 buttons away....

Agreed, and I like that "Fun or Not" button idea ;)
Just so everyone knows, I am not talking shit about blizzard, 13 Successful launches, and 0 Failures, They haven't made a bad game yet, So why bet against them.
I guess I am a blizzard "FanBoy", While they do make bad decisions occasionally, they always Reinforce it with good ideals and always fix their mistakes.\
Sc2 is getting an Online Lan, they explained how it would connect 2 people using 1 IP through the same connection, and that it would be able to support hundreds of people in the way that LAN does.
That's all fine and dandy. But if they don't get BNET right this time around it doesn't matter. The anemic custom scene will deteriorate even more. At that point you'd have to be a fool to continue modding for anything other than shits and giggles.
Makes me have pity for TOFU, SCU, and Subsistence. How much egg will they have on their face when they release their games to a dead custom scene? Those three projects have invested an order of magnitude more in terms of hours than other custom maps. Hell, Dogmai took two years off of work to develop TOFU. This is for you TOFU, SCU, and Subsistence;
@Rice87: Go
blizzard sensed the black in you when you said shizzle and rejected you.... lawl.
nah i dunno what the problem it, Send a report to blizzard.Mine worked fine and I didnt even get an invite.
@Rice87: Go
Did you delete the battle.net folder in C:\ProgramData\ ?
You need to.
Better to delete C:\ProgramData\battle.net & C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment before you install the game. If you are using win7.
And before you install the game, make sure agent.exe isn't in your memory, if it is there, kill it. Then start the installing.
Make sure you have enough space in both C: and the driver you want the game be installed to.

Lack of open lobbies = failure.
@Taintedwisp: Go
From the screenshots I've seen, it's obvious that the multiplayer interface is not actually implemented.
Also, they've said that they're working on an "open lobby" interface.
Let's hope it isn't as much of a failure as patch 1.3.5 was.
Let's, for once, give Blizz some credit. They are listening to the community. They want to know what we want. That's why they are having alpha/beta of the patch.
I like what i have seen so far.

I agree with xcorbo. Fun or Not would be used a lot more.

For those who haven't seen it, the new debugger is pretty neat. It's useful, even for galaxy coders now.

I'm lolin hard lol, ANd the custom scene will only be dead until HOTS, so it wont be perma dead... lol.
The custom scene is in a stasis. Perhaps it's morphing into a baneling?

NOPE its going to be a Broodlord, The problem is, is that the public are Voidrays.
