I think the layout is a bit cramped.
All in all, the new patch isn't that great. It's kinda gay

You don't need to DL from going on SC, you can get it at the link at the top

Report, edit, etc...Posted by KaboomHahahein on 2005-02-16 at 21:42:10

[justify]Yeah, its too cramped. But I guess we will get used to it.I tried to create a game and I was so used to clicking at a certain point of the left side that I don't look to create but instead I clicked the friends button. The log in has 4 different ones now. I guess it will take some time to get use to.The minimap ping will cause major annoyance. YOu can ping the whole map by ust alt+left clicking over and over again on the minimap. Also if you go something like

"I need help!"

"where?"

*I will be evil and ping all over the map so that the person will not see.

The patch is ok. Not as greate as I expected[/justify]

It's OK... I wish the mini-map pings were chat-coded though... (Ex. have AC on, and the ping only shows up for your ally)

In my case with a modded Starcraft, I had to reinstall, and then when I tried logging on to bnet with an out-of-date (1.05) Starcraft, it wouldn't respond. So I had to go to the website.

Here are some screenshots. Is it just me or was it always like when you press CTRL+Print Screen in a b.net chat channel it actually ASKS where to save it?

Below: Friends List feature, and the minimap ping feature.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to add the in-game preview. Here it is.

the ping isn't THAT big of a deal. I mean it's in Warcraft 3 and i've never seen anyone spam it to be annoying. And it's only a little light with a little ding. Not that annoying really unless you are super short tempered. And I think the enemy cannot see your ping. That would totally remove the whole point of having the ping. I have no clue why Blizzard would make it so the enemy can see your ping. IT is not like that in Warcraft 3 and I don't see why they would change it. I haven't been able to play the new patch yet so I haven't been able to test it out.

On another note the friends button is gay. They should have made it a tab like in Warcraft 3. If you haven't seen it, what it does is where it shows all the people in the current channel, it shows your friends and an off/online picture. really convienent.
