Lots of changes coming in HotS.

!

for the expansion they are instating both "Groups" and "Clans".   Groups are like regular guilds, geared for hanging out and playing custom maps or however you want.  Clans are focused on competition, and can be part of a group.  So you could have an SotW 2v2 Clan in the Sotw Group.   And we should ;p

[McAlison]

I saw, it seems pretty cool. I do, however, play for an actual guild now, so I dunno if I'll be in their Clan or set up a SotW one.

[McAlison]

Group officially set up for Soldiers of the Wasteland, search for it to sign up in Wings of Liberty.

This should transfer over to HotS

[Mcrat]

Sweet - I'll join it when I get home later on. Although, I wonder if the groups are region specific?

[jzn]

hopefully they are server based.  you don't play on Europe or Asia or anything crazy like that do you?

[McAlison]

Cool deal 'Rat.

ALSO

Feb. 26th, SC2 is releasing a new trailer known as Vengeance. I assume Kerrigan will be getting revenge in a graphically sweet manner.

SEA server is my default.

Global play is available now I'm pretty sure, so you can play on any server you want. And SEA server always had access to US, but better ping on SEA obviously as it's closer to home. I've still played a heap on the US though as there are way more people playing on that one.

And hopefully Vengeance gets put you YouTube afterwards - don't think I'll be able to watch at the release time.

eeew SEA!   Since I've seen you online in the past I assumed NA was your choice servers.  But I was chatting about it with macalison and we agreed that it is probably much better to not share a common language with your 1v1 opponents.

I've joined the new group!  It took me a minute to figure out that there is a new little group button next to the friends button on the bottom of the main interface.

[McAlison]

Message me if you'll get on in a few hours, I'll be sitting here playing games all night!

[jzn]

i just wanna say that i defragmented my hd last night, and most everything defragged except my SC2 folder which is in 37,000 fragments

[McAlison]

The killing will not end until Mengsk is dead.

I have seen my true enemy.. Armies will be shattered.

Can't wait! I just realised I have a day off work booked for 11 March. HotS is released on the 12th, so might be worth pushing that day off back 1 day.
