Diablo II 1.13 Status Update, and Starcraft 2's priority.

Posted by Buckwald on Nov 19 at 11:13 AM

Bashiok has posted an update on the Diablo II 1.13 patch and the increase of the Stash size. He also informs us how this endeavor ties into Starcraft 2.

The service is designed specifically for the requirements of the game. Meaning that specific hardware has and continues to be used because the game was designed to run on it. The limitations now are that this hardware is pretty old, the storage capacity is more than enough to hold the data from an increased stash size, but at peak load can the service and database actually handle the ability to record all the data without fault? The feeling is probably not.

Posted by Webnet on Nov 18 at 11:42 PM

Starcraft2.com has been updated to officially support Wings of Liberty. It's been about a week since Blizzard said via Twitter that they were wrapping up some web updates and we have them.

StarCraft II Q&A Batch 55 released today

Posted by joeorange on Nov 18 at 02:24 PM

After a little dry spell from updates and one other "disappointing" update, we are now graced with a lovely Q&A. This may be a small Q&A, but there is some good information in here. For example no real utilization of Direct X 11, but we are going to see a windowed mode for SC2. Good news for any of you multitasking maniacs.

Battle.net Forums⁽¹⁾

1. Not all potential players of StarCraft II have played the original StarCraft before, thus they might encounter problems with the understanding of the story. Is it possible to play the campaign of StarCraft II without knowing anything? Will you come up with some things that happened in the original StarCraft and Brood War again – just so that people not familiar to the story get more information?

We plan on having story elements that will bring players up to speed on the most recent plot developments and prepare them for the StarCraft II storyline. We also plan on having a plot summary of what transpired in the original StarCraft and Brood War during the installation process. However we feel that regardless of your familiarity with the original story, all players will be able to enjoy the story developments in StarCraft II.

Heroes can hold more items than in World of Warcraft

Posted by Webnet on Nov 14 at 07:48 AM

With Blizzard having pushed back beta the fans are itching for a bone. Blizzard has updated us through the new Starcraft Twitter that they are working on some web site updates to hold us over that are almost complete. Hopefully we'll see those before long.

What has Blizzard been working on all this time? The fans are ready for beta, why don't we have it? With Blizzard's focus on quality one can only assume that they've come up with a list of "must haves" for Starcraft 2 or Battle.net that they just simply don't want to ship without it...
