Where did you buy your copy? I've been looking for a place to buy mine but I can only find the LA version.

I bought mine online from battle.net

It defaulted to the Latin America version but I specifically changed it to the North America one (there's like a dropdown box).

Login to your battle.net account and then go to this page:

https://us.battle.net/account/management/get-a-game.html?gameRegion=NA

Make sure the region is set to North America

The campaign is awesome!

Anyway, send me a message containing your character name and code (if it's not on the list yet). You can check your code by logging into Battle.net through SC2 and hovering your cursor over your portrait.

Did you add me yet? I don't know if you did or not.

Yes, I did. You're on my list as "Razorwing".

So glad that I never played the beta, it's been worth it. I'm lovin' the campaign so far :)

Completely unspoiled eh. I would've done that if I had the patience of a Tibetan monk. The campaign is definitely awesome though. I'm so glad Blizzard decided to enrich the stories for each race.

I just couldn't spoil myself playing a beta of one of my favourite games. Looks great on my PC as well, I'm impressed with the graphics.

So the first release is just the Terran's campaign right? Does that mean if we all go for Multiplayer, you can only pick Terran as the race unless if you've bought all 3 race campaigns separately?

Absolutely not.... the expansions are mostly single player updates. You can already play all three races with all the units online.

^ I'm on B.net (on my browser).. I only see Sikh for some reason.. I don't see you.

that's because like I told anaron and everyone earlier in the thread use REALIDs and not bnet local name.

RealIDs show up like a buddy would on your msn/aim/etc. Bnet username/char code is for local use and you only see the person online. Nothing else.

RealID =s email

Why would we want strangers to know our real names?

I have to say Blizzard really screwed up the implementation of Battle.net and Real ID to be honest. The SEA server's are horrid, the custom map scene is dead not a whole great big deal of games, and since we aussie's play on US WoW servers we can't talk to our WoW friends across servers.

Since RealID uses email what's the problem with cross region chat? Since the emails are unique across regions there won't be any collisions. At least they are going to let us Aussie transfer from SEA to the US servers within the next two months (Though at the loss of all our achievments and such and having to download the US Client *sigh*).

A prompt when it asks for your name saying this will be used in multiplayer would have been a good idea as well, i figured it was just locally, but oh well.

Apart from that it's not to bad of a game. A few design issues in the first place that could have been improved on but still.

So is it possible to find my Character Code via the battle.net website not via the game?

Never seen or heard of swoopo before, is it really legit? Some of the stuff on there looks to good to be true.

I played some 1v1's tonight against the computer as Zerg... and man, I suck really bad at zerg. I had trouble beating the computer on normal. It took me about 10 games before I finally beat it. But when I played as terran I beat it on hard without to many issues. Maybe the answer to that problem is to just play terran? The hot keys and units are so much easier to remember than zerg. :rofl:

A few questions about the game.. is there a hot key to cycle through units, like if I have 5 battle cruisers so I can use the special abilities more quickly? Same might apply to structures like barracks? If you can even group buildings together?

I'm sure I'll have more questions later.. :laugh:

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
