Here are my observations:
Pros:
-new loading screen and background planet
-ability to "x" out of screens instead of going "back"
-great music sequence for victory (in games other than Mafia)
-can finally make private games public!
Fails:
-every Nexus Wars game I play now lags horribly whenever game starts, and this is for every player. You have to designate your commands during the lag to avoid missing the income timer.
-as well, Nexus Wars games lag harder now (yes, it's the only other game I play). I've seen two laggers in one window, then they drop, then another person lags, then they leave, and then I get dropped!
-Battle.net seems to exit you out of any channels you're in, like -Mafia-, so you have to reload it each time you login
-when you bring up the channel, it seems to start at minimized state and you have to expand it to see who the fuck's online
-penders still can hold a slot for two minutes, wasn't this covered during the last Blizzard tech meet?
What a piece of crap! Can't wait for the other! It seems that all they do is move the couch to the other side of the room with these patches.
I have to reply my own fucking thread? Wow Mafia's dead!
I agree, Necroplant, this stupid fucking patch is worthless and there's nothing we can do about it, they got our money...
