Just a few days ago the world took a step closer to that day. A German fan named ?Zimms? posted on a German starcraft fansite information that indicated a Blizzard community manager, Xordiah, had informed him of a beta date at the ESL Finals held on January 9th in Vienna, Austria. He stated that:
- Blizzard already has a set date for the beta, however it is still a well kept secret.
- The multiplayer is finished with just a few details to fix.
- Blizzard will give fans and players several possibilities to aquire beta keys. Throu competitions and similar events.
- In Blizzard?s (current) internal build supposedly include Dark Pylons, which has a cooldown ability: that enables probes, within range, to harvest faster.
- The Command Center also possesing a cooldown ability. It can summon a ?larger SCV? which harvests better.
- And the Terran Supply Depot can be upgraded to add two more supplies.
Xordiah, who is a Protoss fan, which doesn?t come as a big shock since her avatar on the Battle.net forums is a Protoss Archon unit, mentioned that she is very happy regarding Protoss Immortals in the current build, since they are apperently extremely strong.
For all of you who know some German, or know the power of ?babel fish?, be sure to check out the original post here. This is very exciting news for the StarCraft 2 community. Let's hope we see a date very soon for beta testing!
