This is a fairly small patch that focuses mostly on rolling back some unstated changes in phase two, so there aren't too many exciting changes. A lot of things revert back to the way they were at the end of Phase 1. We'll see if things heat up in terms of patch changes as there is less than a week left of Starcraft 2 Beta.

| Sweet, now the timing in PvZ wont feel off as before. |
| OK so i was practicing random a LOT tho and i found zerg rly too weak seriously and especially the matchup TvZ completly broken in my eyes and i tho of stopping rdm to play only P and T and i guess i was right cuz blizz doesn't seem to want to fix TvZ, bye bye zergs, was nice to meet ya you looked cool tho now you look just dead |
| Huge nerf for zerg in terms of early pressure from terran and protoss to zerg..and early game is most deadly for zerg anyway :) |
| basically these were tons of unlisted changes that they used for internal practice and now they changed it back to normal, this not actually a real patch just a change back to how it was before the internal patch for them. mistake by blizzard and now its back to normal |
| zealots werent strong enough at early so they improved them. That was irony of course. |
| -.- |
| @5 in the patch at release they made the build time 38 and now they're just returning it that's actually what more than half of the changes are |
| Like MorroW said, this is just like it was before the beta ended. Those things were just a few they changed when starting phase 2 without noticing people. |
| Such unnecessary changes. Zealot's production time is fine as it is, they were able to give a FE zerg enough pressure and my god don't even let me get to how overpowered zealot are against lings. Besides, WHY buff T. Jesus christ |
| terran buff? range of "vulture" decreased , build time is just insignificant buff |
| yeah...t buffed |
| why are u guys crying about them buffing T? they didnt buff them... learn the facts before you cry. |
| nuttin interesting for Z as always, fuck it, FUCK IT. |
| Damn I knew something was wrong with bunkers since phase 2 started. 10 seconds is a ton of time in sc2. Still kind of a disappointing patch overall. |
| #13 Indeed man, they have rap-ed zerg ever since the beta started lol. From overpowered too underpowered. |
| i still don't understand these changes... |
| #16, the phase 2 patch came with a ton of (around 30) undocumented changes and these are some of them that are getting reverted back to the way they were before phase 2. |
| now terran and protos is overpower... |
| @ 18 How are they overpowered. Its exactly the same now as it was at the end of phase 1. Imo its better now because both t and z can better handle extremely early pressure from zerg. |
| kinda feels that zerg needs to put more effort than toss and terran to win games. |
| Z is BB now, stick to T if you want to get good wins. |
| Don't understand, why Blizz is still buffing Terrans... |
| now early pressure from p and t gonna be more deadlier?? no!~!~!~ atleast decrease build time for crawlers and queens!!! |
Z really need something to make them relevant again. As is they're pathetic compared to T and P  |
| z need buff srsly |
| can someone explain me why they make the 6rax reaper even more imba ? faster rax faster reaper it was not rly easy to hold and now ........ doenst blizzard now that tac ? |
#26 Time to start playing T , P and Z are gone  |
| Do none of you read? No race is getting a buffed. These are all changes that revert things back to the way they were in phase 1. everything is NORMAL now. |
| imba reaper:) |
| #28 why did not zerg nerfs (tumor,NP,roach..) get reverted mr.genious? blizz is trolling sc2 so ppl would go wow and pay more :)))))) |
| #4 & 8 10x for info.....this is good news.... |
| wtf why they nerf 250mm on the Thors ?! Nobody use them anyway ... |
| Hi' all . Stop whine omg . They just delete some news .. This changements was the same on Beta1 . Imo , T=Z=P .. Skill , micro & macro makes the difference . Not race . For Zerg , they was overpowered , now it's just equal . Sure , that's makes a difference . |
| reaper time decrese, barrack time decrease .... now the fastest reaper rush will be even more faster. how to stop it as protoss? i can`t make cibernetics faster. moreover, in 2on2 is absolutely IMpossible to stop it now. |
| Agree ; but with a nice micro , you can win easy , 30 sec . 30 sec for Stalker , it's nice . |
| Thanks god for this zealot build time revert! 2 gate rush vs zerg felt pretty slow and easy to defend. |
| Can't join Beta . That's normal or .. ? Since Patch 17 .. :/ |
| Ye its normal for Blizzard, since they release WoW patch days are usually the days when the servers are down for maintance coz of "serious issues" or the game is unplayable, unstable ect. Im really curious how the game will look at 27-28.07, when everyone will storm the servers :) |
| Same, when I log on, it just readresse me too the log page... T_T is it only 4 french? :p |
M'okay . But it will open ? Soon ?  |
| "Same, when I log on, it just readresse me too the log page" same here |
| FUUUUCKIIIINNGGGG SHIIIT |
| Whoever said this was only in France I can make his day way better, this is also in Finland :P And thinking of this distance, france, finland, well, it's just everywhere so. They are probably doing some hardcore patching. Still I enjoyed these days it was up =) I just wish they get it up again asap :) |
| Okay some news . Bug's comming from Cataclysm Beta . ( WoW ) .. That's making some bug on Bnet .. They're working to resolv the prob' .. :/ |
| I can't believe people are complaining about Z, I'm a Terran player, in diamond league usually in the top 30 of my league, often top 20, and TvZ is BY FAR the hardest matchup. In fact I barely win ever against Zerg, the only Zerg players I managed to beat in phase 2 tried to do a baneling bust and failed. Mutas are so powerful, most OP unit in the game imo, a few of them forces you to build a ton of anti air to prevent harassment and massing them is not even a bad choice. If you can't beat Terrran with Zerg, I would say l2p because the matchup seems quite balanced. Of course if you just mass roaches and send them suicide to a tank/marauder army you will lose... (not that it is not possible to win with a good macro and the burrowed movement) |
| Just to confirm: Beta is down in Germany as well. |
| Thx Peterra ;) payLow aswell! |
| Im having that problem to, i just get kickt out when i try to start sc2. And its cause it doesnt start the download of the new patch.,. dont know what to do anyone got any ideas? |
| Wow is patched every week, am I right? So does it mean Star2 will be down 1day per week too? T_T |
| Beta down atm |
