Second phase to start really really soon

[Hammy]

Won't there be a new client? Or was it just something about old replays not being compatible anymore, so I assumed there was a new client?

I dunno if there is gonna be a completely new client or if there are just gonna release a patch to do so. On a related few topics, there is still no word on the SC2 battle.net forums on possible release of phase two even though I had to dig through 7 pages of nothing but spam posts to get to where it was 4 hours ago. Spam it may be, but that is an impressive feat of a hardcore troll. Another side note, it may be just me, but the sc2 BETA forums have not been working since the new "client" message has been posted in our games a few days ago. Every other forum on the site works, just not the one specifically for the beta and it was up until this message started appearing for everyone. Could be a coincidence but I am not so sure about that.

They said the first patch back is going to get rid of the huge amount of space taken up by current patches(i.e. - get rid of those patches). I got a new comp and have none of the patches, i hope i dont have to wait an extra 12hours redownloading all the patches + the guaranteed large patch after relaunch.

I hope so too! I don't want to wait 3 hours!!

Didn't a blue post say that they would post the date as soon as they had one?

Well, I doubt Blizzard would just suddenly announce: "oh btw, the beta's been up for an hour, sorries lol, forgot to warn u!".

Hopefully they'll announce something early next week, that beta'll be up within two days or something. I don't care if it's up on monday anymore though, since I've decided to go to work after all (and can't back down now^^).

Damn it blizzard! Help us get organized

But isn't that how the first wave of the beta started? If I remember correctly, I was watching a live stream of the beta hours before Blizzard made an official announcement that it had started.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the beta becomes available again prior to a Blizzard announcement.

This thing with "BNet does not recognize your client GET LOST" thingy means only that Starcraft client could have been reworked dramatically.

Or that they changed the version number that Battle.Net expects to receive from clients.

Also you know, them running out of time between now and the release date.

Most probably, they're going to wipe all the previous patches. That's why the replays won't be available anymore. With any luck, they could had changed the way the older versions load, so that it's useable. With the time it currently takes to load an old replay, it was useless. Also, it's taking a lot of space already.
