*Main New Features with StarCraft Patch 1.12
1) In the multiplayer chat screen, you will now be able to see a preview of the map that will be played. Knowing the layout of the map that they’ll be playing on prior to the start of the game will allow players to better prepare their strategies.
2) The patch will add a feature that allows the creator of a private Battle.net game to make the game public under the creator's name in multiplayer chat screen. This will allow game creators to easily open the game up to other players if not all of the players for the private game show up.
3) The patch will add full Korean language support for Battle.net and in-game chat.
4) Another handy feature that the patch will add is a Friends List and button that allows you to keep track of your friends on Battle.net.
5) The patch will also add a Friend Mail feature that allows you to email members of your Friends List.
6) Similar to Warcraft III and Diablo II, the patch will implement password-recovery and email-registration features so that you can recover your password via email.
7) Also implemented with the patch will be a minimap ping, which teammates can use to call attention to or direct each other to different parts of the map.
8) The patch will make it easier for players to set their building, rally points
9) We will be including updated versions of three of the most popular ladder maps: Lost Temple, Dire Straits, and Rivalry. We made changes to these maps in order to better suit the newer style of ladder play.
Found this while I was reading korean newspapers, my guess is that newspapers wouldn't lie and put bunch of craps for no reason. Do you guys think it's true?
I hope they don't ruin SC and make it like WC3, it's been told that Blizzard is gonna change rally points, instead of pressing "R", but by simply right-clicking on the ground, which you can do in WC3. and also selecting multiple buildings as a group.
My opinion is, that they shouldn't even bother changing anything.
Got to admit, they suck at map making... they're just gonna ruin SC if they keep this up, and the balance btw 3 races seems fair enough.
EDIT: went to battle.net, blizzard.com and couldn't find anything about v1.12.
Either its a lie, or Blizzard is just keeping it as a little secret and surprise all. (But it's been told that Blizzard announced their plan to people in Korea)
