Starcraft II HotS Multiplayer Swarm-All

*Beta's up again. Latest patch seems to have wiped things. GWJ clan created again. Myself and SodaGremlin are in now.

I'm Twiggy.909 on the beta.

I'd be shocked if we hit 50 people, given the way GWJ on the whole abandoned ship on vanilla SC2.

Some of us are still watching. Still, people like me will probably never be in a clan match. A whole second's lag just makes SC2 completely unplayable. I'm up for a clan match if LAN ever becomes real, and if anyone is planning to experience Far Cry Real a Philippine vacation.

Hey, that could happen.

Clans are limited to 50 people. Groups are not limited, at least to a practical number.

There's also the important distinction that you can only be in one clan, and sport that clan tag, while you can be in 20 groups. For release I suggest we use a group that everyone can gather in, and then have a separate clan for tag purposes.

Edit: I suggest we make the group public, so that we don't have to struggle to get people invited since there's apparently no way to request an invite in-game if the owner isn't online.

Edit2: I'm nossid.235. Hit me up.

I would love to join the clan but don't have the HOTS beta. I am frequently in WOL though!

Hey guys, long time since I stopped by, but Thin_J hit me up with a beta key. So I wanted to stop by and say thanks!

Woot!

I am really liking the new version. Honestly one of the only things I really don't like so far is the click icon looks like it came from LoL (not hating or anything), just saying it feels wrong!

Thin, hit me up, lets play some mate!

Soda I got your message on Steam last night but, kind of in passing. Fridays aren't usually great for me and gaming. I'll keep an eye out for you on Steam though and try and hop on whenever I can the rest of the week

You can get a beta key by pre-ordering from Amazon. If you don't really want to pre-order, just cancel after you get your key.

There's still people playing WOL, though I'm not generally one of them. It's a very occasional thing for me.

Nobody's going to get a hold of you for a game if you don't post your friend code info though

*For now, there's the Gamers With Jobs clan that's of course invite only, and also the GamersWithJobs group (no spaces!) that's public.

If I end up being the one creating things again I'll do it that way every time they wipe stuff.

You can't have spaces in a group name, but you can with a clan?

You can, but not matching clan and group names.

Yeah, what he said. You can't have a Clan and a Group both named the exact same way.

Is your character code in some other place in HotS? I'd like to get in on the clan action...

I couldn't find it at first either. Open up the add friend dialog, click on the character code button and you'll see it below where you would enter someone else's code.

I still haven't gotten my beta key even though I pre-ordered the collector's edition from Amazon

Check your spam/junk mail folders?

Amazon said four days to get the key and that's when both of mine came.

Mine came within an hour of ordering.

Yeah, been checking everything, even my trash on the off chance I deleted it, but no luck

Okay, I cancelled my Amazon order, then re-pre-ordered and the beta code came instantly. Not sure what happened, but now I'm good to go with HotS!

I'm leaning toward hopping on to the beta tomorrow afternoon. If anybody else is going to be around say so and I'll get clan/group invites or whatever out. Although the group is public and should be easy to find.

Just noticed in the sc2ranks gwj group that there's a pro gamer amongst us. Is this someone who actively posts here?

If I had to guess I'd say that's an error of some kind, either that or that person's a lurker

We had a couple of masters league players at one point, FakePlants and Desram both got up there, but IIRC they're both NA server players, or at least usually are cause I played with them both at least once or twice

Installing the updated HOTS beta now. Hopefully I'll have some time this weekend to get on, join the GWJ group, and check out the new units.

If you're going to be on soonish I can hop on and make sure you get into the group and the clan. Just letting some steam game updates go through right now while watching an SC2 stream or two.

I just got a key from pre-ordering the CE, so I'd like an invite to the group/clan/whatever it's called.

I tried to get on, but apparently there is a game breaking bug with the Mac client that prevents you from connecting. So, I switched over to Windows and am now re-downloading the client.

I can't help but think this would go faster if I dug out my SC2 DVD and installed from there, but that would require not being lazy.

I should have all this re-installed and updated tonight.

The DVD wouldn't help you at all for HOTS. It's an entirely separate client download, so you're doing it the only way possible already

I got in and joined the GWJ group. I don't know how to join the clan.

Guys take it to the HOTS thread, every time i come here i get all excited that people might be playing WoL again. D:<

I'll get you invited.

*It appears you actually have to be online to be sent a clan invite. I added both the people in the group list to my friends list so I can easily invite the next time people are on. And I promoted SodaGremlin in the clan so hopefully that means he can send invites too, so if you see him on and not me try hitting him up for a clan invite.
