Patch 1.2 - Public Test

Patch 1.2 - Public Test

You may be familiar with the idea of public tests or a "PTR" from playing other Blizzard Entertainment games. If not, you can think of them as open beta tests where players can preview upcoming patches before they go live. Patch 1.2 marks the first time that we've performed a public test for a StarCraft II patch, but we're planning to conduct public tests for most if not all future game patches. These PTRs help us a great deal -- when you participate and submit reports, we can squash more bugs and ensure that when the patch is released it's of the highest quality possible.

To participate in the public test you must have a full North America product license. Further details on how to begin participating in the PTR can be found in the FAQ .

For the latest information, patch notes, and to submit bug reports and feedback, please visit the Public Test forum.

As this is a test server, please anticipate uneven game performance. Restarts and downtime may occur without warning. We’ll provide information regarding extended downtimes, should they occur, in the Public Test forum.

@Reaper: you need to get hit with the skillbat really, REALLY hard.
99.999998% of "problems" with the game are really problems with the player. keep practicing and you'll realize this eventually.

@Garugamesh: mother of god.

MOTHER of GOD. they bent them over and absolutely decimated what used to be the reaper's @%#%%!#. they're only useful for scouting now, if that. if you're losing to reapers, it won't be any reasonable nerfs that will save you. you seriously just need to come to grips with the fact that you're terrible at the game and then practise.
btw, i'm a 2200 diamond zerg in case you think i'm a terran trolling you.

@Garugamesh: how often do you see reapers win a game? im no pro but reapers are pretty useless and can be killed by lings or stalkers. just like hellions they get phased out in midgame so they really arent a big deal

I like alot of what they did with the chat and stuff wouldnt mind if they had where you where going in ladder matchs....oh ah and someone that can cannons rush's at 3 min in the game when your zerg is total not fair....they should fix that becuase cannons and zerg dont get along unless you got brood lords.

@Bobthebum: Scout bro, I never ever cannon rush cuz of overlords. Drones and lings will solve your problem. Pull the drones off their mineral line if you have too

@Bobthebum: this post is the summation of why i only come to these boards when i feel a masochistic need for visual flagellation. Ahem: 1) protoss cannot build any buildings on creep. 2) as was noted above, zerg have overlords for extra vision which aides in discovering a potential cannon rush. 3) you are possibly incurably bad. 4) sending a scout at 9 population will allow you to see what tech route the protoss is opting for: seeing a forge is an instant que to scout everywhere around your main and directly outside your entrance. There is no possible way for a protoss to cannon rush a zerg if the zerg has even the slightest level of competence.
Problem resolved, and look! No patch needed! Thank you, no I'm not Jesus' son.

I think that if they do add clan tags they should allow another free name change for those of us who have our clan names in our name. Also I think that Zerg is a little underpowered considering if they don't get hydras or mutas up quick in most games, the other team has flying units and its game over. Also I think that the Terran's Thor has to be hit with the nerf bat a few times, Zero, Zero Thors shouldn't be able to beat three, three roaches and hydras.

@SolidRasunda: Infestor are the answer to Thors. Just neural parasite them and tell them to attack each other then finish of the last one with roaches ( because hysra are pretty useless in zvt unless all he has is marines then you can fungal groth the marines and outrange woth the hydras). thats what I do and it works + its fun to see

@HighTemplar: You really ought to have a layer before they can get out a single cloaked banshee... In which case an overseer takes care of the issue. If you are scouting at all times banshees aren't really too scary. Just annoying

Flux vanes is not a good enough nerf for void rays. The unit is broken, just remove it.

@iKarus: If you are toss, then voids are big against terren. because they think mass stalker/sentry, they always get to many marauders and you can trash an economy with 2 voids. Although i would have to agree that they are to fragile.

@iKarus: thats simply untrue, the void ray gets owned by marines, the most simple terran unit or vikings work, and queens a simple zerg unit or hydras work. You could make the argument that if you get enough of them then V-ray is a problem; i would counter that almost any middle tier protoss unit, or any middle tier unit massed is tough to deal with, take for example the hydra, when it is massed protoss has a tough time dealing with it. Personally if any unit thats broken needs to be changed, its the banshee. Banshee are Ranged, Cloaked, Fast units able to screw up the economy of a protoss player fairly easily if he had gone for air vs. terran.
