    StarCraft 2 Beta Patch 15 Released!

    A lot of Terran changes are a foot in StarCraft 2's latest patch including a reaper buff, and some nerfs to the Terrans mech builds. It seems blizzard is going to keep changing the game right up until they pull the plug now get out there and play it, blizzard needs this testing phase to be as efficient as possibly!

    Along with today's patch Blizzard is also doing another database wipe! enjoy losing your hard earned achievements ;) boy i cant wait till we can keep ours!

    Interesting stuff. I'd like to see a situation report for this patch - I wonder if it will come out when the patch is actually live (though the servers are down right now so perhaps that is happening right now).

    The only thing that I find really weird in this is that they are telling us about a patch and reset when the Beta only has four days left before it is closed down for a few weeks.

    Everything here seems pretty good....although I don't get the Reaper buff. They seem very effective already.

    And I would liked to see something to cut down on the power of marauders, but with all the other cuts I can see why they stay the same. Terran needs something to define them early on, besides walling...and um..reapers..and having the only ranged 50 min unit...and being able to scan for a safe scout...and..and..


    Never mind, my point sucked.

    Would that mean that blizz somewhat supports the reaper rush tactic? or that they support the wall + reaper rush?

    Of course Blizzard supports Reaper rushing. Reapers are pretty much a rush (and harrass) only unit, and Blizzard made them. I'm sure they support the design choice of their own unit.

    IMO they should focus on updating Battle net 2.0
    Worry about game balance tomorrow

    Thats one fairly large issue being fixed which doesn't require a whole overhaul which will probally be done when beta is brought down.

    I think that the nerfing of Siege Tank has something to do with balancing Terran vs Terran and the Viking nerf in last patch did not take care of it. Other Terran nerfs probelly not change much, the units are still usefull at intended roles but thats about it. Not shure if Nitro packs buff changes gameplay or if Broodlord nerf changes much either.

    The realease date of Starcraft2 is coming closer and closer and I have marked that date in my Calender.

    Nice!. No more losing all 5 placement matches and getting into platinum/diamond. This is a very nice change indeed.

    Could you get into plat/diam. before if you lost 5 placements :O ???

    Also, the reaper rush is SUPER effective right now.
    I've tried the 9-supply reaper "rush" (maintaining my economy, not all in) I get one reaper and then the upgrade, after that there is only a slight delay for the next reaper. And after a minute you'll have superspeed on those reapers and be that much more annoying.

    Good changes, as always.

    The only one I disagree with is the Hellion weapon upgrade nerf. Now their vs light damage is 24(+1)...?? Wtf is this, the weapon upgrade is now almost worthless for them. Good bye to any possible hope of using hellions in late game...

    Okay maybe I'm being a little too harsh, but I just think 24(+2) makes much, much more sense for an upgrade than 24(+1).

    Because zerg's melee weapons also affect brood lords indirectly.

    Why nerf the tanks? I never thought of them as being overpowered before.

    I think nobody expected to keep the archivements after Beta. In my opinion it wouldn't make sense. still hoping for some special achievement later when the full game is out showing you we're in beta....:rolleyes:
