Patch 16 immunes Ultralisks from stuns and Mind Control
Posted by Lasse "Enron" Engen 1 year ago
The 16th patch brings back the Infested Terran to the Infestor and a boost to the Ultralisk, but is this enough to bring the largest Zerg unit into the game?Patch updates - Patch 16
General
- Rally points now behave as a move command, instead of an attack move command.
- Enabled the ability to manually add a StarCraft II character friend using the player's character code. Character code is a server-assigned numerical code that is displayed within the Add Friend panel.
- Battle.net Achievements & Rewards have been updated.
- All Quick Match modes are now available: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and Free For All.
- All A.I. difficulties are now available for play.
- Cooperative matchmaking versus A.I. players is now available as a play mode.
- Enabled cross-game social features between World of Warcraft and StarCraft II.
Balance Changes
ZERG
Infestor:
- Frenzy spell removed.
- Infested Terran spell added.
Overseer:
- Infested Terran spell removed.
Ultralisk:
- Now immune to stuns and mind control.
UPDATE: As of now, Battle.net has gone online, however things are a bit spotty currently.
UPDATE: EU Seems to be down, but US is up
UPDATE: Matchmaking and joining custom games are having a lot of issues.

| #48 What? Seriously now... There's no real official statement from Blizzard that would say that "The Beta is now officially back online and everyone can jump on their horses and start testing!". All that happened, was that some lucky kids, got into the time-frame where Blizzard was most likely running tests, and they all fainted and thought that the Beta is officially back... Obviously, it's not and nor did anyone from Blizzard say it's is ( yet - but it will be soon ). #49 I'm glad to hear that... * I think... * #50 Yes, it's coming down to language details... People are too exited and they tend to misinterpret statements ( at least, that's how I see the whole thing ). |
| if only it worked decently. |
| ahahah reflexive work at blizzard:))))) |
| #53 Hahah, NO... I don't, but I do work in the software industry and I'm quite familiar with stuff like this. I can also hardly wait for the Beta to be back ( I can even hardly wait for the final release to be here and get my hands on my CE ), but people that maybe willingly misinterpret certain affirmations just that they would maybe feel better, is quite wrong... As you can see, they are causing more "pain" than good... Facts are, Blizzard made no clear and official statement about the Beta being back online at this moment. They said it's "underway" ( which means that it will be back really soon ) and that they hope that people will also participate in this phase and provide useful feedback. |
| @51/54: maybe you are right and people are too exited about it. |
| Down for maintenance T_t |
| yes reflexive i am shure of that but ..i like to see all the statements;) |
| #57 Me too, especially the one in which they'll officially announce that we can start wasting days and nights playing the Beta. But that is still to come... :) |
| i still dl the game ... i play wow since beta was down |
| Wooooooooo just finished my placements! 5-0 platinum in division New Folsom Alpha or some shit. |
| Funny thing to do while waiting: Double click the spaceship on the login page and it flys away. Or maybe I just double clicked on it when it just went into hyperspeed. edit: Yepp, that was the case. |
| #60 with 5-0 u should be placed in diamond ;) |
| no he shouldn't. blizz FAIL. |
| #62 no |
| that's not how it works anymore. at least not @ the end of phase 1. |
| why? did they delete diamond or what? or am i backward and i don't know about something? |
| #66 you can't get to diamond directly after placement matches, you have to climb up there from plat http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25170441407&sid=5000 E: It's patch 15 feature, before that you could get right in the highest league with 5-0 placement |
| thats weird because as i remember in 1st phase i got to diamond directly after placement matches or maybe i mixed up something |
| Pfff why do the USA servers work and Europe not :( got out of bed for nothing ffs :P |
| #68 You're mixing it up... Or maybe ( although it's not 100% proven ), if you were lucky enough to get matched with high ranked people and you won, then maybe the system would automatically consider you worthy for diamond league ( I heard some rumors about this, but nothing that would actually prove this is possible ). |
| Couldent agree more #69 |
| Ultralisk: - Now immune to stuns and mind control.  |
| #60 Fake and gay 0 sc2 games worldwide 0 sc2 games in ur region and 400 740 players online that's written in the home page of SC2 @ b.net US XD |
| "fake and gay" xDDD why no Europe?!? |
| my Nostradamus prediction from 5 days ago : quote Blizz poster Nethera That said, we'll keep you all informed on the start of the next phase, no worries. I'm just stunned that it's already July as of tomorrow. How time flies when you have a lot to get done before the exciting launch of a game. ;) well if you had ANY detective blood runnin through your veins you would understand that this post tells us more than any other. If the beta 2 is to be released in the next couple of days he would be DAMN AWARE of july 1st. Its same as if, for example, you arent aware that today is july 25 and sc2 is released 2 days after (27.7). the hell you wouldn't be aware... so i think a bit more realistic date of beta release is anything from 7th onwards |
| Dude its all-ready july 8th... |
| And tomorrow, it will be the 9th! |
| I CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN -_- (got a new pc and didn't save my sc2 on the other pc I had so how can i fix this?) please halp :> |
| blizz dont care about europe =( |
| EU PLEASE! =/ |
| I WANNA PLAY SO BAD ! AINT GOT SHIT TO DO THIS WEEKEND !!! |
| CMOOON! : D Give us in EU! |
The Beta is Back NO IT ISNT! |
| blizzard employes sleep now:)) |
| they are just playing with us !! |
| change news name... it is misleading right now. atleast change it to Beta back in US |
| Sad pandabear |
| lol so basically if they go mech, i go ultra and win. gg yay! Ahhh zvz is gonna be awesome |
| Damn, I got so much work this weekend :( |
| Anyone else was finally able to play a game but got CRAZY lag? |
| i Thnik US have lags because blizz is still working on the serwers . Its stiupid :P EU has new patch early ... but US can play first :P |
| This topic is false why do u put it out? The Beta Is Not Back yet.. |
Btw. They are doing from Battle.net more and more some kind of Facebook. Idiotic changes. Real names, all games joined chat, whatever - FB integration, if it's not enough. WTF WHY??? We want just play RTS guys!  |
| when the beta will be up on EU ???? |
| #93 FB is really popular right now , i dont use it but many of my friends use it . I dont like this FB in game but...its $ for blizzard . Just ignore FB in game...its simple , you say i just wanna play the rts :P Then play , dont look at FB :P Even my moom has FB :) its not joke |
| where find the Player code for add friend? ;D |
| FFS still no beta in EU O.o |
no fotball! no beta!  |
| Seriously... Blizzard = Retards |
| #99 I really hate people like you..all so love and all cool when everything works..but immediately when 1 minor X thing happends, you go call them idiots and i dont buy the game and im so going to decline my preorder etc.. Whats up with ppl going emo in 1 second these days? |
