Starcraft II Beta goes on hiatus May 31st.

Doh, and I was gonna have my new PC by first week of June too. Oh well, it'll be worth the wait. Like Wankey, I too hope for an improvement in the sound department.

I pre-ordered yesterday the Special edition package, at an US store, since in Mexico they dont give you a beta key with the pre-order. Today, they sent me the Beta Key, the one that i've been asking for for ages. Then Blizzard releases this... Fuck you very much Blizzard. I hate you from the very bottom of my heart.

Thats all im going to say... Thank you...

Summer starts...No SC2 beta! On the last day I have school, heh!
That's kinda funny, but also a good sign, since this means we're approaching the final release!

now release date is really really close

just cant w8

I'm guessing we have at most 2 more patches to test before they close things down and do public stress tests. I was definitely expecting a lot more than that.

Wow, I'm surprised it's going on hiatus so soon .

I think think it's safe to say that we can certainly expect a fair amount of balance patches post-release as well. In many ways, it'll still be like the beta .

Is there any chance at all that the Beta Crusher achievement will carry over into retail? I don't know if I should just mass games to get it after the next reset .

that sucks D: i am glad though that things are bringing brought down to a simmer and they are getting ready to release the game via shutting down the beta for a while and reseting the servers to make way for new in game stuff (and a hopeful fix to the sound)

Oh we can dream:

Second phase of beta:
Completely revamped sound scape.
Remodelled carrier and thor
map publishing
clan meeting halls

Wankey, I know you can dream about a lot of stuff.. stuff that you know won't come true and you know it...

hrm... wha? Bashiok?

With the release of patch 13 no sound effects will be present while navigating within the StarCraft II Battle.net interface. This is a temporary and known effect while we prepare our audio assets for the retail launch. This is expected to be resolved with the start of the second phase of the Beta. Please forego any reports on this as we’re aware it’s an issue. We apologize for the silence.

Hrm... maybe he might NOT be fully dreaming about some stuff.... I wouldn't get my hopes up as the sounds assets could be specifically for battle.net, but ya know... there is a LOT of player feedback regarding the unit sounds... who knows...

I wonder what's going to happen in those dark times. I'm sure it won't be considered a "calm before the storm".
